This is the antisemitism panel I was on with Van Jones who makes an eloquent plea for black-Jewish relations along with Daniel Lubetzky and aym higher milkeninstitute.org/panel/15610/be…

Shouting both ‘Ceasefire’ and ‘From the river to the sea’ means: ‘Stop fighting so we can destroy you.’

It’s been an excruciating 7 months.

SEVEN MONTHS.

These 14 women remain in Gaza captivity.

Yesterday I spoke to students from Africa. After me was @drjoshgreen Gov of Hawaii. We’d never met. We shook hands & he pulled me aside ‘confidentially’ & said “You have a crumb on the side of your face.” It was both kind & adept. And put a smile on my face in place of a crumb.

An important and challenging piece from ⁦Andrew Koss⁩ on the academic study of Judaism- what it was and what it is. mosaicmagazine.com/essay/politics…

William James wrote that the best use of life is to spend it on something that outlasts it. Living for something greater than oneself is paradoxically the greatest fulfillment the self can feel.

Just watched the first ever antisemitism panel at Milken, featuring the brilliant
Van Jones, Daniel Lubetzky, David Wolpe, Arielle Mokhtarzadeh. Many in the room were moved to tears

We remember because the tragedy is unimaginable, the lives precious and the lesson increasingly urgent. Hate is so seductive; goodness, courage and love must prevail. #HolocaustMemorialDay

Speechless.

One should always be yielding as a red and not inflexible as a cedar. Ta’anit 20b.

The father of our country, draped in everything he fought against.

I've thought a lot about how we professors should be relating to our students who are protesting against Israel. Here is a piece about my thoughts on this: bit.ly/3wkP2ys

Preface: This is being posted just after the standoff between the protesters and the police. I do…

“Gas masks, ear plugs, helmets, goggles, tape, hammers, knives, ropes, and a book on TERRORISM: “These are not the tools of students protesting, these are the tools of agitators, of people who were working on something nefarious.” timesofisrael.com/nypd-official-…

Join me at the Milken Institute Global Conference on Monday, May 6th from 1:00 PM to 2:00 PM PDT. I will be speaking on the panel, 'Beyond the Headlines: Addressing Antisemitism and Religious Bias Based on Facts,' alongside other advocates, Van Jones, Bari Weiss and…

Next time you mess up, remember this:

How an ancient idea explains the headlines:

Some Jews longed for Egypt and Lot's wife looked back. The Torah understands regret, but it teaches hope. 'Choose Life.' Or as James said, 'Live all you can -- it is a mistake not to.'

I have a sad sense of Deja vu

Yes detractors, Jews can do bad things too. I was cruelly misled by the fact that a century ago, Christians were 20% of the middle east and now are less than 4% and only in Israel have they increased- oh, and the pop of Gaza and the West Bank have grown too.
