Deep down, we know that the return of legitimated, tolerated, excused, contextualized, intellectualized and often violent antisemitism — and loathing of Israel — is a flashing warning sign of the decay of something uniquely precious about America, itself.

Mario Nardone lived one floor below me. On Sept. 11, 2001, he was on the way down from the 84th floor of the second tower when he stopped to use the restroom…

Religion has the power to destroy and the power to uplift. Twenty-five years after 9/11, the only question is which one we choose.

Have any of @NYCMayor's #Jewish staffers educated him that Tisha B'Av commemorates the destruction of the ancient Jewish state and the loss of Jewish sovereignty? And have they taught the Mayor that the dream of national restoration began immediately upon the destruction - a dream that came to fruition nearly two millennia later in the mid-20th century when the State of #Israel was established? Had they informed the Mayor about #Judaism, they would have spared him embarrassment, and the impression of being ignorant, or worse, hypocritical. Mayor Mamdani: If you wish to express identification with the Jewish community, mean it. Otherwise, spare us your holiday greetings.

How a country treats its Jews is the ultimate test of its health and moral vigor. We've lost ground — and we must recapture it, for the good of the Jews and the country we love.

My guess is that @bradlander knows that the “genocide” smear is a lie, an ancient blood libel dressed up for modern consumption. If I am right, it begs the question, why does he — a self-proclaimed liberal Jewish Zionist — continue to spread this fabricated falsehood that empowers our ideological adversaries and militant enemies who seek the destruction of the Jewish state and the Jewish people?  As a liberal Jewish Zionist myself, I hope that once the campaign is over — whether Mr. Lander is elected or not — that he uses his platform to speak truth to power. nytimes.com/2026/06/17/nyreg…

Here is an example of conversations we had at our @FreeSynagogue Re-CHARGING Reform #Judaism conference about #Zionism in the Reform seminary:

Today @FreeSynagogue — where hundreds of Reform rabbis & Jewish community leaders are gathered for our “Re-CHARGING” conference — I addressed my deep concerns over the Reform movement and its seminary's commitment to #Zionism. My full remarks here —> youtu.be/ZFT02ZM_58I

The Hebrew Union College should not be ordaining #antizionist clergy.

.@yardenas and I discussed one of the most painful lessons of the 1929 Hebron massacre: how centuries of coexistence between Jews and Arabs could collapse into unimaginable violence almost overnight. Yet amid the horror, there were also Arab families who risked their own lives to save their Jewish neighbors... Our full convo: youtu.be/qHN4d8Mlusc
