Greater Philadelphia, you showed up today, and we're grateful.
Today was a beautiful reminder of the strength, resilience and solidarity of our community.
Jewish joy is contagious. Community is our strength. And Greater Philadelphia shows us what it means to stand together.

Haley Stevens officially endorses Mike Rogers for Senate.
She says she is putting partisanship aside because hate and what we are seeing from El-Sayed do not properly represent "who we are as Michiganders"

The prevailing view of so much of the young left in America is that we’re the worst country ever, so if someone attacks us, they can’t be all bad.

.@NYCMayor Mamdani must apologize. Referring to members of the Jewish community who advocate for causes they care about as “monsters” wielding “dark money” is shockingly offensive and unacceptable for a mayor who claims to represent all New Yorkers. This is not about political disagreement, it is about crossing a dangerous line by invoking dehumanizing and conspiratorial rhetoric with a long and troubling history in antisemitic tropes. We cannot allow fearmongering, conspiracy theories, or the demonization of Jews to become normalized in our public debate.

The remarkable thing about this is how widespread it is. It happens on campus, online, at work, at dinner parties and potluck dinners and school drop-off and school pick-up and on and on. All of these unhappy interactions amount to the same surreality, the same lie: We have no problem with Jews, just Zionists.
If one protests, if one says, This is the same distinction that Jews have been asked to make over the many centuries -- we have no problem with your Jewishness, just this core part of it -- one is inevitably met with the unthinking, "Genocide!" There's no point in getting into that debate, because it is now religion among so-called progressives. One has to embrace the belief that the Jews are guilty of the worst of all possible crimes, and if you do not believe it, if you do not declare your support vociferously and unequivocally, you'll be excommunicated from polite society. Ghettoized.
The contemporary "left" is simply reenacting the hatreds, the myopias, the violence, of all the antisemites who came before. It imagines itself, arrogantly, ignorantly, transcending the past. It is, in fact, a slave to it.
An American Jewish woman living in Barcelona reached out to me, saying that she and her wife were denied entry last night to a thermal bath, reportedly because they are Jewish.
She documented the exchange on video and filed a report with the Mossos d’Esquadra afterwards.
What's even more heartbreaking is how bystanders chose to stay silent during the exchange. Their lack of action only enabled what seemed to be a moment void of humanity.
Shame on all of them.

People say the left and the right can’t agree on anything these days. But there is this one thing:
