If you only read one Yiddish children's book featuring both Elijah the Prophet and a statue of Karl Marx....
“Here is a hero who fought for those bound in slavery. Here is the hero who led the Jews out of Egypt. Here is a third hero who liberated a country. And here is yet another hero who said that we must liberate the whole world.” —Binele by B. J. Bialostotzky

Quite the fun read.
The small Catskills town of Red River is rocked when the dynamic young heir to the local rabbinic dynasty is found murdered in the synagogue his family split from. It is up to his childhood best friend, now the local sheriff, to find his killer and keep the town from boiling over

Thus shall be done to the woman who stands in the way of restoring guns to an antisemite.

Amazing Seder characters!
מה נשתנה? סדרת קלפים שיצרתי במיוחד לליל הסדר – כל המאכלים שאתם מכירים, כמו שמעולם לא ראיתם אותם. קצת מצחיק, קצת מטריד. בתיאבון.

“Vance has made pleasant noises about Israel and Trump has aligned himself (for now) with Netanyahu’s wildest dreams. But believing the Jewish state gets an “America First” cutout is like believing your new best friend is a Nigerian prince.”
Vance’s attack on Zelensky was not simply an expression of an isolationist foreign policy, it was nativist in a way that should unsettle Jews whatever their Israel politics. My latest Substack. open.substack.com/pub/ronkam…
