War does not solve problems; on the contrary, it amplifies them and inflicts deep wounds on the history of peoples, which take generations to heal. No armed victory can compensate for the pain of mothers, the fear of children, or stolen futures. May diplomacy silence the weapons! May nations chart their futures with works of peace, not with violence and bloodstained conflicts!

Mamdani, on The Bulwark podcast, says ‘Globalize the Intifada’ chant signifies, to him, a call for Palestinian human rights. Adds: “The word has been used by the Holocaust Museum when translating the Warsaw Ghetto Uprising into Arabic — because it’s a word that means struggle.”

״מַה טֹּבוּ אֹהָלֶיךָ יַעֲקֹב מִשְׁכְּנֹתֶיךָ יִשְׂרָאֵל״ בטקס מרגש קבענו מזוזה וחנכנו את בית הכנסת ״The Altneu״ בניו יורק, יחד עם שליח הנשיא טראמפ למזרח התיכון @SteveWitkoff, מנהיגים ואנשי הקהילה היהודית במנהטן. הבשורה על הקדמת שחרור חטופים מעוררת בכולנו תקווה, וכך גם ההחלטה על הארכת הפסקת האש בגבולנו עם לבנון. יחד עם הקהל הרב נשאנו תפילה לשלום המדינה, לביטחונם של חיילי צה"ל וכוחות הביטחון ולשחרורם של כל החטופות והחטופים מהשבי בעזה.

I’m not the biggest shul person — just ask my rabbi 😜 But tonight in Jerusalem, coming together in sacred intentionality feels important. It’s not gonna solve anything, or end the war. But our most sacred task in life is sometimes just to do the next right thing. שבת שלום 🤍

Great conversation in the beautiful streets of Jerusalem, with French Philosopher, Bernard Henry Levy

Albert Reichmann played a critical role in enabling the Refusenik revolution of the 70’s & 80’s and was perhaps the most prolific builder of Jewish life in the FSU in the 90’s. The 1000’s of children educated in the Shema Yisroel network of schools are his spiritual descendants.

Heading to vote this afternoon, I thought of the story of the Chazon Ish on the “mitzvah” of voting. Hopes it gives clarity to undecided and disillusioned voters. #Vote2020

Incontro alla Farnesina con una delegazione e il capo della Conferenza dei Rabbini europei Rabbi Goldschmidt. Abbiamo discusso di tutela dei diritti umani e delle libertà religiose. La nostra è una visione comune fondata sulle radici cristiano giudaiche dell'Europa.

Privileged to be with hundreds of Jewish teens - current and future leaders - at @NCSY JUMP and JSU Presidents Conference as they hear a leadership message from the incredible Avital Chizhik-Goldschmidt @avitalrachel
