October 27, 2018: 11 Jews were murdered while praying at the Tree of Life Synagogue in Pittsburgh. Eight years later, we will never forget. May their memories forever be a blessing.

Today Israel votes. For the first time with no hostages in Gaza. For the first time as a nation that fought back - and survived. Whatever the result - democracy is alive and well in the Middle East.

Today marks eight years since the horrific Pittsburgh Synagogue Massacre. On October 27, 2018, an antisemitic, white supremacist gunman opened fire during Shabbat services, murdering 11 innocent worshippers. Seven years later, as antisemitism continues to rise across the globe, we must stand united in condemning antisemitism, unequivocally and universally. May the memories of the victims forever be a blessing.

Today, Israelis of all backgrounds head to the polls - Muslim, Jewish, Christian, Druze. Young families, first-time voters, and seasoned citizens all casting their ballot in the Middle East’s most vibrant democracy. Happy Election Day, Israel! 🇮🇱🗳️

Today, Israelis vote. Jewish citizens. Muslim citizens. Druze. Christians. Bedouins. Circassians. All at the same polling stations. 36 parties. 120 Knesset seats. Name another country in the Middle East that does this.

By 2035, Israel could be home to the majority of the world’s Jews - for the first time since the Roman exile. Today, 46% of the world’s Jews already live there. Am Yisrael Chai.

Hamas has no plans to disarm. Hamas has rebuilt its tunnels. Hamas has restored its pre-October 7 force of 30,000-40,000 operatives. Hamas has threatened another October 7. And yet the world keeps asking Israel to make concessions. What's yours?

Marvel just tapped two Israeli writers to create its new espionage series “Zodiac” for Disney+.

Israeli creativity, once again shaping global entertainment.

Thank you to the St. Louis Blues for condemning the horrific antisemitic incident that occurred in the stands during one of their games. Antisemitism has no place in sports. Jewish people should be able to attend games without fear.
