I liked @ezraklein's column today, but I think more progressive Jews often overstate the extent to which there is a generational divide on these issues versus just they personally have a different opinion.
These political shifts among Ivy League Jewish students are remarkable:
I wonder if Eliyahu's wife ever found a box with multiple passports and confronted him: "Eliyahu Hanavi. Eliyahu Hatishbi. Eliyahu Hagiladi. I don't know who you are!" "I'm on a top secret mission from Hashem. My real name is Pinchas. We have to go now! Jezebel is coming!"
Rabbis, entrepreneurs and CEOs recently gathered to debate how to expand Jewish education — & many other issues facing US Jewry— all while drawing inspiration from the teachings of the late Rabbi Sacks. My coverage of the @ReutUsa @rabbisacks conference: ejewishphilanthropy.com/experts-champi…
The leadership of the @Conf_of_Pres held an important and meaningful meeting with Sheikh Tarif. In the face of the horrific and systematic murder, rape, and abduction of Druze civilians in Syria, events we are following with deep concern, we came together to express our…
This is just absolutely false. The House panel (aka 2 House Republicans) did not say this. The whole report was bogus innuendo, but this utter bullshit doesn't even appear in it.

The National Education Association, the largest teachers’ union in the country, announced it would not cut ties with the ADL, declining to implement a contentious resolution approved by its governing body earlier this month. @GSDeutch reports: ji.news/3yich
After months of investigation, Jordan & Mast can't even say with confidence that the US indirectly funded protests, only that they may have. What's even more absurd is that they can say federal funds went to NGOs with ties to terrorists. In what world is that not the headline?
The report states that total speculation based on a misunderstanding of both grant/donations mechanisms and the main orgs (JCF & PEF) involved. The groups it claims may have indirectly received funding also repeatedly denied receiving US govt funds. Other than that, no notes.

🚨A report published by the US House Judiciary Committee states that it is likely US government funds indirectly financed the protests against the Netanyahu government — allegedly in violation of US law. The report further reveals that nearly one billion dollars were transferred…
Trump's "I don't draw pictures" is the new "I have a peculiar medical condition which is that I don't sweat ".
“Indigenously produced drones and missiles” is the single funniest sentence ever spoken

There is a military truism that our leaders would do well to ponder: “Strategy without tactics is the longest road to victory. But tactics without strategy is the shortest road to defeat.” GEN Yakovleff
The board of the Friends of the Israeli Defense Forces is moving to force Morey Levovitz, the embattled chair, from his post in response to growing controversy surrounding his tenure, sources told eJewishPhilanthropy. @JudahAriGross reports: ejphil.com/3yane
I am shattered into a thousand pieces to tell you that @LauraBenDavd is no longer with us. She was surrounded by family and was not in pain. We expect the funeral to be tomorrow and will post further details when we have them. Please be kind and live life in her name.
Latest US assessment: Fordow was heavily damaged--but that Natanz and Isfahan were not. A lot of confidence in the idea that Iran is deterred by Israeli intel penetration and the risk of additional strikes. Also: Trump had the option of going bigger, but chose a one-off.
Israel’s primary reason for these actions is a continuation of a long-standing commitment it made to Israeli Druze during the Syrian civil war that it would protect their Syrian brethren. One can criticise soundness of this policy without indulging in conspiratorial speculation
Honestly is this intended to try to massively escalate the violence against Druze? Israel and its Druze supporters are associating the Druze with a universally hated state and its latest war of aggression. Jolani’s Jihadist imbeciles will be responsible for whatever they do,…
