Mazal Tov to Devorah Paley on the birth of a Baby Boy. About 4 weeks after two of her children were viciously murdered in a terrorist attack in Jerusalem last night Devorah gave birth to a healthy baby boy. As we mourned with you, we now rejoice with you.

These fighters gave up their lives to build a better Jewish future, where other young Jews can walk proudly and without apology wherever they go. jewishjournal.com/commentary/opi…

New moral stain for the UN ‼️ When President Raisi of Iran, the “Butcher of Tehran,” began his speech, I waved a picture of Mahsa Amini, the innocent Iranian woman who was brutally murdered by the regime one year ago for not wearing a hijab “properly.” Meanwhile, outside the UN

A beautiful #Thanksgiving prayer authored by Rabbi Joseph Lookstein z"l of CKJ in 1940. Take a moment to read it, perhaps even use it at your meals.  We look forward to the day when we can be thankful for the release of all the hostages and for permanent peace. ☮️

we can’t wait to welcome Ritchie Torres

It was great to welcome Eylon Levy to CKJ tonight in partnership with the IAC Eylon is a warrior who defends Israel and the Jewish people daily. We are lucky to have him on our team.

We are very much looking forward!

Thanks (((Chaim Steinmetz)) & CKJ for keeping awareness of the hostages alive. Has been chilling surrounded by these faces practicing in sanctuary w/a bar mitzvah student. Today was different. Imagine our delight when we discovered 2 of these “faces” were just released!

“we will flood the streets of Crown Heights” deliberately echoes Hamas’ “Al Aqsa Flood” from 10/7 This is not rhetoric. This must be stopped before it’s too late. CH is protected by the watchful 👁️ of the Rebbe — but it’s up to our law enforcement to act swiftly & decisively.

What an honor to have Rabbi Israel Meir Lau, former Chief Rabbi of Israel, pray at CKJ this morning on the powerful convergence of Erev Yom HaZikaron and Rosh Chodesh. A moment of memory, renewal, and unity.

today 👇

Yesterday we lost 10 precious souls in Israel💔 They woke up in the morning and by night they were gone—families torn apart, worlds broken. And yet, the Jewish ppl don’t give up When our enemies try to destroy us, we rise & live with even greater purpose Am Yisrael Chai 🇮🇱

These are the 20 hostages who are coming back home alive 🎗️ Sukkot is the only holiday referred to as זמן שמחתינו — the time of our joy. This year, it looks like it may truly fulfill its name.
