Antisemitism is the quest to make Jewish people unsafe, physically and psychologically.
It’s a form of abuse, and like any abuser, antisemites will threaten, gaslight, lie, defame, and dehumanize us.
That’s why every Jew who fights antisemitism everywhere, is a survivor.

🔴 NEW:
Today, AJC released its fourth State of Antisemitism in America report, detailing the myriad ways that antisemitism affects the lives and actions of Jews and compares those findings to how the American general public perceives the threat.
Check out the results: 👇

Yesterday, Kyrie Irving was suspended for failing to apologize for peddling an antisemitic documentary. He then issued a long-awaited apology.
Here's an explainer of the Jew-hatred he helped spread along with a breakdown of this nearly week-long saga.

There’s many reasons we purchased in Eastie again — and couldn’t be happier — especially after a profitable sale of our first condo.
Not on this list, though, is the benefit of a diverse neighborhood and proximity to a clear rise in culture and art. bostonglobe.com/2020/04/14/m…

Due to #COVID19, many people across our Jewish community are facing dangerous isolation, financial crisis, and lack of access to food and other basic necessities. We're launching the CJP Coronavirus Emergency Fund to respond to these needs.

Sunday NYT is forever a treasure. You get stories like this; ones that run cool through your veins.
Kudos to @kblankfeld for this piece; and more so to the folks who, unlike me, can read it without totally losing it.

I’d argue that Nielsen (& Vitiello) were critical of Trump’s immigration policies and pushed back for many months.
It’s bigger than Nielsen; removing her paves the way for even more brutal, hardline policies. What’s an executive order worth these days anyways? – at Boston, MA
This squad is something else.
What a week filming with @koolulam. Now we create create create. – at Boston, MA

Honestly, there isn't a better moment for @TIME's optimists issue. Art -- in all forms of meaning and expression -- can help bridge the divisive gaps that plague us.

“Year after year,” Trump said, “countless Americans are murdered by criminal illegal aliens.” This is untrue. There is no undocumented-immigrant murder wave: nyer.cm/vOU1N8E
Share. Be generous. Give yourself completely, when you can, for others because you never know.
