Jewish Life

President of the Zionists Organization of America Mort Klein recently issued statements at a House Judiciary committee meeting regarding several aspects of white nationalism and hate crimes, ranging from proposing the removal of Minnesota Democratic Representative Ilhan Omar from her seats on various congressional committees to commentary on the mosque shooting in Christchurch, New Zealand, to the Tree of Life synagogue massacre in Pittsburgh, Pennsylvania to other related issues.

The President elect of Ukraine, Volodymyr Zelensky, was formerly a comedian.

At a recent conference at an American college campus in North Carolina, Palestinian rapper Tamer Nafar of the hip hop group DAM used the platform to voice an anti-Semitic, anti-Israel message to the conference attendees.

The Jewish community seems divided over how to respond to US congress person Ilhan Omar and her open anti-Semitism.

The NY Times, Ilhan Omar, & the Palestinian government all falsely referred to Jesus as a Palestinian.

First a comedian, then later the mayor of the city of Vinnytsia, Volodymyr Zelensky won by a landslide in the polls to be elected the first-ever Jewish president of Ukraine, defeating a recumbent candidate, the Jerusalem Post reported.

An American physician, Dr. Max Leopold Brodny, visited Moscow, the cosmopolitian capital city of the former Soviet Union in 1959, and decided to tour many Jewish historical sites during his stay in the city.

Inspired by a deep desire to follow the mitzvah of tikkun olam - doing good in or repairing the world - and further fueled by a sense of social responsibility toward minorities, underdogs, and the least of these transcending centuries but even more deeply entrenched in the fabric of Jewish culture following the Holocaust, it has not been an uncommon trend historically for the American Jewish constsituency to gravitate their loyalties toward the platform of the Democratic Party.
