With an homage to Ariel & Kfir Bibas, Yuval Raphael took 2nd in the Eurovision song contest. 588 days after she hid under bodies of Hamas' victims at the Nova festival, Yuval concluded her powerful "New Day Will Rise," by proclaiming "Am Yisrael Chai (the people of Israel live)!"

From Alaska to Illinois, the cuts to Medicaid & SNAP pending in the House & Senate will wreak havoc on the states & deprive children, the elderly, the poor, etc. of food & healthcare. There's nothing beautiful about causing hunger and illness. nytimes.com/2025/06/27/opi…

Standing in solidarity with my colleagues after graffiti swastikas discovered overnight on several buildings on the SW Side of Chicago. This is a reminder that the rise in hate impacts all of our communities and we need to speak with 1 voice whenever these despicable acts arise
Swastikas were spray-painted on several buildings in Little Village over the weekend, and one building was tagged a second time with a pro-immigration enforcement statement, community members said. trib.al/5JX9qTY
Hate knows no boundaries. We condemn this hateful act and stand with our friends from @latinospro Only together can we defeat bigotry and hate, and make Chicago a safe place for people of all races, ethnicities, faiths and backgrounds.
Multiple buildings were vandalized early Saturday on the city's Southwest Side, Chicago police said. A Latino community center in Little Village told ABC7 they were among the targets spray painted with swastikas. abc7chicago.com/post/chicago-c…
Total hate crime incidents fell by 25% across Chicago in 2024. With substantial declines across nearly every category, this drop is a testament to what's possible when we invest in people and community safety in a holistic way.

Loss of civilian lives during war is tragic & we appreciate that Israel is investigating this most unfortunate incident. We extend to the Holy Family Church and its congregants our deepest condolences and hopes for a better & peaceful tomorrow.
@JFederations express our deep sorrow over the damage to the Holy Family Church in Gaza City and over any civilian casualty. The Jewish people remain steadfast in our commitment to friendship and dialogue with the Catholic Church. (1/3)
What have you done over the last 650 days? Celebrated birthdays & holidays, gone on vacation, kissed your spouse or partner, hugged your child, etc. Now imagine you've spent all those days held hostage in a tunnel by Hamas terrorists. 50 hostages remain in Gaza-don't forget them.
.@shalomaustin has launched a relief effort to support those impacted by the devastating Texas floods. May the injured & displaced find healing & safety. May the families of the missing and the dead know peace. May the memories of the lost be a blessing. shalomaustin.org/texas-flood-re…
On July 4, 1776, our founders declared independence and launched the greatest democracy in history. On July 1 & 3, 2025, today’s leaders voted to strip food and medical care from the most vulnerable. That’s not patriotism. That’s not progress.
In a 51–50 vote, the Senate approved massive cuts to Medicaid & SNAP. If enacted, hundreds of thousands of Illinoisians-children, seniors & low income families-will lose healthcare & food aid. Is the richest nation in history really about to punish our nation's most vlunerable?
The Windy City will miss @YinamCohen but we look forward to your arrival with great excitement! Don’t forget your winter parka…Chicago in August is not the same as Chicago in January.
As I prepare for my upcoming move to Chicago, I was honored to meet with @IsraelPresident @Isaac_Herzog, who convened Israel’s incoming heads of mission ahead of our postings around the globe. The President and I spoke about the strength of the U.S.-Israel partnership, the…
The Jewish Federations of Peoria & Rockford serve constituents in Rep. LaHood's district that will be devastated by Medicaid cuts. We urge Congress to reject H.R. 1. x.com/ProtectILCare/…
A billboard is driving through Illinois’ 16th congressional district today to sound the alarm: Rep. LaHood is supporting a bill that will strip healthcare from thousands in his district. Call Rep. LaHood: (202) 225-6201 and demand he vote NO to #Medicaid cuts. #ProtectOurCareIL
Just 632 days ago, Hamas murdered, raped and kidnapped music festival goers in Israel at the Nova Music Festival. A few days ago Bob Vylan called for the murder of Israelis while at Glastonbury. Who is still platforming this Jew-hater?
How does a society go from watching Jews being slaughtered at a music festival to chanting for Jews to be slaughtered at a music festival? That’s exactly what happened at Glastonbury.
