I’m not afraid of those sending threats & antisemitic comments. I’m a Jew on my feet, not on my knees. The proud granddaughter of a man who joined the Army as a Ritchie Boy to fight Nazis killing his family. I will always stand for what is right. You don’t intimidate me at all.

“Tomorrow is a day which I think merits to be remembered, even though it is not too pleasant to do so. It is the 10th of November, a day of great infamy & sorrow, which opened a lot of eyes all over the world & unfortunately closed a lot of brave Jewish peoples in Germany.” Ernest Rothschild, US Army, France, 1944.

Another great night seeing the NSO @kencen!

The surprise conductor was actually @RichardGrenell - and he was great!!!

Warming up. 🎻🎼

I don’t want to spread any rumors, but I am a celebrated Milton Academy high school orchestra conductor.

It’s easy to get caught up in the hatred on this platform. Important to remember that there is a lot of good and goodwill out there, and this is true even in the darkest periods of human history. Shabbat Shalom! ♥️

The school had an incredible Center for Jewish-Christian learning. I played hockey there, and for Hanukkah one year, my teammates (not a single Jew among them) surprised me by decorating the locker room. They gave me this dreidel. It has me, Sandler, Seinfeld, and Tommy Pickles.

FWIW, that close friend was Catholic with a father who was raised as a religious Jew.

The best decision I ever made was to go to a Catholic university. When a friend died, I sought the counsel of a campus priest I knew. I wanted to process the death with someone who believed in God. He was one of two campus priests that reached out. We are still in touch.

To start, my grandmother was hidden in a French convent for a period of time during the Holocaust. Saying I owe my life to righteous Catholics (many of them) is not an exaggeration.

🧵A reminder this Shabbat that amid the noise, the vast majority of Christians & Jews share not only good intentions toward each other, but enduring bonds of friendship and affection, strengthened by immortal ties of history & faith. This has been true in my own life.

So happy to see Kanye publicly take accountability for the pain his words may have caused to so many. Standing with our Jewish brothers & sisters.

This is the kind of message I got for defending the privacy of the young Heritage staffer & assuming positive intentions & vulnerability on his part. A threat to put bullets in my head. Someone almost did in May. I’m not afraid, but I welcome others of all religions to lend good faith words and actions to getting us to a better place.

I do not condone leaking private meetings. This person, no matter the content of the comment, deserved to be able to speak with the expectation that his remarks were private. Let’s assume he a made his remarks from a place of vulnerability and honesty. He doesn’t feel comfortable attending a Shabbat dinner, and he’s worried that someone will interpret his absence as not supporting efforts to fight antisemitism. I don’t understand the discomfort or religious objection, but this is how he feels. An optional Shabbat dinner is not the only way to stand against antisemitism. Evan is welcome to come stand with me at the Capital Jewish Museum to protest the antisemitism that took the life of an American girl from Kansas right near his office. She was about to be engaged to a young man, also murdered, who was a close friend and colleague of his Heritage coworkers. This is a perfectly acceptable way to show support. Attending the weddings of Jewish friends is another way to learn about the Jewish community, as is visiting the Bible Museum, the National Museum of Jewish American Military History, or the Holocaust Museum.

If you want to learn more about Jewish War Veterans, check out and/or support the National Museum of American Jewish Military History @NMAJMH.

Sarah Milgrim was 26. A Kansas girl. A proud Jew. She was murdered outside the D.C. Jewish Museum because she was Jewish. Now, the Chabad at KU, her home during college, has built a garden in her memory. Never forget Sarah.

Only 46% of Virginia voters considered Jay Jones' violent text messages against Republicans (& their children) were disqualifying. Let that sink in.

Legitimately frightening indication of the current moment.

For people saying the Holocaust was a long time ago & we should stop talking about it, I just got an email from an elderly cousin who was a child when the Nazis came to power in Germany. It was not that long ago. Aversion to facing the horror should not be indulged.
