Is kosher for Passover food healthy? No.
Is it affordable? No.
But is it tasty? Also no.

The #HamOnt Jewish community is subject to a grossly disproportionate level of hate crimes & have repeatedly warned they are the targets of physical violence.
Every Canadian has a right to safety - acts of hate, cannot be ignored - violence cannot be enabled or rationalized. – at Hamilton, Ontario
The attack on a Jewish father in Montreal late yesterday, in front of his own children, is an appalling act of violence. Everyone in Canada has an inalienable right to live in safety.
My thoughts are with the victim and his family as they recover, and my support is with law enforcement as they work to bring the perpetrator to justice.

I covered/studied war for close to two decades, some with 2, 5, 10x the deaths than Gaza, and saw maybe a handful of Holocaust comparisons.
The casual way that Holocaust inversion is thrown around so casually like the last 24 hours…it’s done for obvious reasons.

I've thought a lot about Yuval Abraham this week. And to be honest, despite my many disagreements with his political opinions, my main feeling toward him is sympathy. I really can’t imagine what it must feel like to stand on stage in front of the world and acknowledge both Palestinian and Israeli suffering—only to have Basil, his Palestinian co-director, not do the same. To not mention October 7 (which started this war), to not acknowledge the hostages still brutally held in captivity, to ignore the fact that one of the Israeli crew members who worked on *No Other Land*—helping secure their Oscar—was murdered on the 7th by Gaza’s jihadists. And then, to be excluded from many press features by the pro-Palestinian crowd and not even be invited to the afterparty of his own film. All criticism of Yuval, in my view, is secondary to the so-called righteous victim by his side. But it really was indicative of every single Israeli-Palestinian dialogue, of which there have been dozens, I’ve attended. The Israeli is expected to acknowledge the pain of the Palestinians, the Palestinians express nothing of a kind. And everyone walks out feeling good about themselves. It’s a shame that people’s bar for peace and what is to be expected of Palestinian agency is so low. It will also be the mechanism which continues to prevent peace, despite the best efforts of those who dream of it.

This is the first “I’m leaving the platform” announcement I take seriously.
Twitter used to be a fun place for info and discourse and jokes - now it’s just sports videos, lazy anti-Semitism, and predictable sniveling from the same 600 people.

I do not condone the actions of the minority of obnoxious Israeli soccer fans, but let’s be real, there isn’t one soccer team on Earth that doesn’t have its loud hooligan fans who act disorderly and without much thought. This is universal.
Using the words of a few hardcore fans, a demographic that you’d find in any group and at nearly any soccer match, IS NOT a valid excuse for opening Jewish hunting season.
Any and every Jew that night was targeted. There is no excuse. Not for non-Jews to hunt us, and not for Jews not to be ready for it.

Walking down Eastern Parkway yesterday on my way to shul, my daughter needed to tie her shoe, so I bent down to help her.
A guy, dressed in an @AlliedUniversal uniform had his phone out filming - either FaceTime or live streaming, I couldn't tell.
"Look at that Rabbi. He's going to kidnap that girl. He's going to take her to the Diddy tunnels. With the mattresses. Under the synagogue."

“Intifada” simply means “uprising.” True.
Also, “Sieg Heil” simply means “Hail victory,” and Confederate flags are simply regional symbols. Students can scream whatever racist things they like. But this evades the question: Why is Harvard full of screaming racists? --@DaraHorn

The fake Nova suicide note, the fake Palestinian opinion polls, videos from Syria, along with so many other made up and exaggerated stories about this war are a cautionary tale. People are lying to you. Trying to manipulate you.
It’s coming from both sides but the goal is the same. To make you hate the other side. To dehumanize the other side. Remember, it’s people just like you out there in Israel and Gaza. People who just want to live their lives. See through the lies.

Muslims are familiar with bigots taking random Quranic verses and implying that Muslims are violent, and then he goes around and does the same. It's incredible.

In 2005, Israel deeply & irreversibly traumatized its own people by expelling them from their homes & land, making Gaza Jew-free for a chance at peace. The right wing, those you hate, who are now in power in Israel, said that all we would get was a hotbed of terrorism, they predicted rockets on Tel Aviv...and they were right. Those of you who encourage more & more "resistance" instead of acknowledging Israel's existence and negotiating peace are just proving them right again & again & again even as you swear they are the problem.
