Shabbat shalom and chag sameach. I am a big Passover fan. Every year family and friends gather at our house, as people all over the world have been doing for over 5000 years, to celebrate the Exodus story of liberation and freedom. “Ma nishtana” (literally, “what has changed”) we ask ourselves, and then proceed toContinue reading “The Jew News Review – April 20, 2024 – “The only genocide since October 7 is of the truth””

The Jew News Review – April 13, 2024 – “Chazak v’ematz”
Shabbat shalom! We are heading north to the great state of Maine for a birthday celebration this morning. Hence, this will be a different form of the JNR this week. As I write this post, Israel is expecting, at any moment, some kind of retaliation from Iran for the suspected Israeli strike that killed aContinue reading “The Jew News Review – April 13, 2024 – “Chazak v’ematz””
The Jew News Review – April 6, 2024 – “Bring them home”
Shabbat shalom. This morning, as LBJ use to say, I come to you with a heavy heart. My heart is heavy from grief – not just over the horrible accidental killing of the seven innocent aide workers, but also, grief over the soul of Israel. Hamas may be diminished in its military capability, but itContinue reading “The Jew News Review – April 6, 2024 – “Bring them home””
The Jew News Review – March 30, 2024 – TTBS, Veto vote, aide madness, and Jewish sports stars
Shabbat shalom! And a tip of the kippah this week to Daniel Kahneman, the Israeli born 2002 Nobel Prize winner who virtually invented behavioral economics, who passed away this last week at the age of 90. Kahneman and his collaborator, Amos Tversky’s work illuminated how the human mind uses two systems of thinking – one fast,Continue reading “The Jew News Review – March 30, 2024 – TTBS, Veto vote, aide madness, and Jewish sports stars”
The Jew News Review – March 23, 2024 – Israel Alone?
Shabbat shalom! A quick shout out of sympathy for the victims and their families of the horrendous terrorist attack in Moscow. More proof, unfortunately, that jihadism is a global threat to the civilized world. And a tip of the kippah this week to Eon Productions, producers of the James Bond movie franchise. They have offeredContinue reading “The Jew News Review – March 23, 2024 – Israel Alone?”
The Jew News Review – March 16, 2024 – “Do your job”
Shabbat shalom! This will be a different JNR this week as we are heading to Washington DC for a weekend of family celebrations in honor of a milestone birthday for my sister Phyllis. Happy birthday Sis! It’s getting tougher everyday to continue to support Israel as they plan to continue the battle with Hamas inContinue reading “The Jew News Review – March 16, 2024 – “Do your job””
The Jew News Review – March 9, 2024 – “Fundie baby?”
Shabbat shalom! And a tip of the kippah this week to Ruth Gottesman, a longtime professor at the Albert Einstein College of Medicine, who donated $1 Billion to the medical school located in one of the poorest areas of NYC, on the condition that it makes free tuition available to all students going forward (Remi,Continue reading “The Jew News Review – March 9, 2024 – “Fundie baby?””
The Jew News Review – February 24, 2024 – “If he only had a brain”
Shabbat shalom! And a tip of the kippah to the late Alexei Navalny, who was murdered last week by Vlad “little dick” Putin. Hopefully, Navalny’s courageous death might inspire the spineless GOP morons to get some aide to Ukraine before it’s too late. We lose something profound if we mark his assassination with supine acquiescence.Continue reading “The Jew News Review – February 24, 2024 – “If he only had a brain””
The Jew News Review – February 17, 2023 – “Mr. Magoo vs Orange Turd”
Shabbat shalom from fabulously beautiful Sunnylands in Rancho Mirage! Somewhere in this sea of Tai Chi is my wife striking poses that in theory will increase her physical strength and improve cognition. Whatever. In the meantime, I am enjoying a French press in the cafe with an amazing view of the San Jacinta mountains. TheContinue reading “The Jew News Review – February 17, 2023 – “Mr. Magoo vs Orange Turd””
The Jew News Review – February 3, 2024 – “Feed your head”
Shabbat shalom! We are currently an hour into our flight to Palm Springs at an altitude of about 25,000 feet and a ground speed of about 470 mph. I have literally flown millions of miles in my lifetime, yet I still get a kick out of the whole flight thing and still find it amazingContinue reading “The Jew News Review – February 3, 2024 – “Feed your head””
