The Jew News Review – Special Edition – “Iran: The Beginning of the End?”

Shalom!  Thanks for reading The Jew News Review! Subscribe for free to receive new posts and support my work. I was thinking of headlining this post with “Iran’s Lesson Learned: Don’t Fuck with these Jews!”, but decided to go with a more socially acceptable version. And, we shouldn’t gloat about the tremendous successes Israel hasContinue reading “The Jew News Review – Special Edition – “Iran: The Beginning of the End?””

The Jew News Review – June 14, 2025 – “The wings of a butterfly”

Shabbat shalom. I watched a lot of CNN yesterday. To hear the details of Israel’s military prowess was at times inspiring, but seeing missiles eluding the iron dome and falling on Tel Aviv was just awful and hard to watch. Israel’s “preemptive” attack on Iran’s nuclear capabilities was a long time coming, but the outcomeContinue reading “The Jew News Review – June 14, 2025 – “The wings of a butterfly””

The Jew News Review – May 3, 2025 – “The enemy from within”

Shabbat shalom! As Israel marked its 77th Independence Day, the skies above Jerusalem were choked not with fireworks, but with smoke. Flames swept through more than 5,000 acres of forest and brush land, forcing the cancellation of dozens of celebrations across the country. But it wasn’t just the fires that darkened the mood — it wasContinue reading “The Jew News Review – May 3, 2025 – “The enemy from within””

The Jew News Review – October 12, 2024 – “One Day”

Shabbat shalom! And G’mar tov (Good seal)! The latter greeting is based on the belief that a person’s fate for the coming year is written on Rosh Hashanah and sealed on Yom Kippur. “G’mar tov” expresses the wish that the person be inscribed and sealed in the Book of Life for a good year.  ItContinue reading “The Jew News Review – October 12, 2024 – “One Day””

The Jew News Review – June 8, 2024 – “People of the Book”

Shabbat shalom!  Tip of the kippah this morning to the IDF, after this morning’s news that they have rescued four hostages from central Gaza. And, while the IDF will have some explaining to do once the war dust has settled, they continue to make advances in eradicating the Hamas monsters still holding over 130 innocentContinue reading “The Jew News Review – June 8, 2024 – “People of the Book””

The Jew News Review – May 18, 2024 – “World Happiness”

Shabbat shalom! Holy shit batman, what a week!  Last night my son Michael and I sat high above rink side at the TD Garden to cheer on the Boston Bruins in their attempt to stay alive in the NHL playoffs. Despite their best efforts, and the tremendous support of a rabid fan-base, their quest forContinue reading “The Jew News Review – May 18, 2024 – “World Happiness””

The Jew News Review – April 20, 2024 – “The only genocide since October 7 is of the truth”

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 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 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 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””
