" #Rabbi #ChaimSteinmetz of #CongregationKehilath on the #UpperEastSide has #published “A Proud #Jew,” drawing on his weekly #Torah #essays.
The essays collected in the new volume, his third #book, reference weekly Torah portions, the holidays, Jewish life and contemporary events. Together, they explore what it means to live as a Jew in a complicated world and why #Jewish identity should be a source of strength rather than something to conceal.
The book’s title comes from one of its essays, but as #RabbiSteinmetz writes in the preface, it reflects the message of the entire collection: “Our mission is to carry with pride #Judaism’s message to humanity.”
That message has taken on particular urgency in Rabbi Steinmetz’s work in #NewYork."

"#Galut is thus often understood as the experienced reality of being in exile, albeit structured, however, by the internalization of the textual notion of the #Diaspora and tempered by the daily experience (good or bad) of life in the world. The #Jew experiences the daily life of exile through the mirror of the #biblical model of expulsion, whether it be the expulsion from the #GardenofEden or freedom from slavery in #Egypt. Galut has formed the #Jewish self-understanding of exile, at least for religious #Jews. Yet for some thinkers today the involuntary dispersion of the Jews (galut or #golah) is articulated as being inherently different from the voluntary exile of the Jews (diaspora or #tfutsot). These two models exist simultaneously in #Jewishhistory in the image of uprooted and powerless Jews on the one hand and rooted and empowered Jews on the other."

Asajew bomb 😬
"#CNN anchor #ElexMichaelson raised eyebrows this week with his closing comment moderating a panel discussion on possible contenders in the 2028 #DemocraticParty presidential primary, offering his take on what might differentiate Sen. #JonOssoff (D-GA) from #Pennsylvania Gov. #JoshShapiro (D) – how #Jewish they “read” to voters.
As the Tuesday evening conversation wound down, panelist and YouTuber #EricMessersmith argued, “But on the Jewish thing, because he is Jewish, he might be the #Democrat that can thread the needle. Because even though he’s Jewish, he’s very critical of the #Israeli government, very critical of #BenjaminNetanyahu. He has credibility on that issue. So it’s possible—I think he could fill that lane in between the two extremes of the #DemocraticParty.”
#Michaelson then wrapped up the discussion, “Yeah, as a #Jew, some people read a little more Jewish than other people, and John Ossoff may not read as Jewish as Josh Shapiro does[...]"

Anton & Glenn
What a pair of characters! Glenn was just a pretty weird guy in general, clever . He lived on the second floor of my building. Anton, in the wheelchair is a book all by himself. His leg. That is just one story and here is how it happened. Anton is an alcoholic, what he did before he lost the leg for a living I don’t know, but when first saw him, he was on the corner by the robots begging. He would make enough money and then off to the Bottle Store. He did have a room to sleep in. I got […] -
Rand Clinic 1986/7
The Rand Clinic 1986/7 Rolled a car, upside down and flipped over type of jol. Car totalled, boss unhappy, but it was not my fault that time! Anyway. My face had a few cuts as did my arms, and my left hand had a broken knuckle. I did not like doctors then already, as they were still trying to kill my mom with their drugs. They got it right about a years later…. Anyway, patched myself up, no problem. Or so I thought. My Pinkie knuckle healed wrong and the finger could not bend. Ok.

Our Drugged up Society
How the hell did we get here? Working on two philosophies to see how we got here. First is not looking where you fell, but where you slipped. Funny enough this led straight to the second philosophy, find the source. For this particular slip we need look no further than: Psychiatry . These “doctors” are on the forefront of our legal drug dealer trade, i.e. The Medical Profession. While at the moment everyone seems to be on about Big Pharma, let’s take a look at this branch of the […]https://waynebisset.wordpress.com/2026/03/23/our-drugged-up-society/

HOW TO TELL…..
HOW TO TELL IF YOU’RE SOUTH AFRICAN …. You call a bathing suit a “swimming costume” or a “cozzie”. You call a traffic light a “robot”. You call a sandwich a ‘sarmie’ You call an elevator a “lift” – but asking for a ‘lift’ doesn’t mean you want an elevator – you actually want a “ride” You call a car hood a “bonnet” You call a car trunk a “boot” You call a pickup truck a “bakkie” “Van” isn’t a vehicle – he’s the butt of some […]https://waynebisset.wordpress.com/2026/03/23/how-to-tell-if-youre-a-south-african/

CW: Kibbutz massacre hostage describes her experience
I've seen lots of posts on here claim that #Hamas "beheaded 40 babies" in #KfarAza, the #kibbutz near Gaza where Hamas attacked the #IDF. But journalists who visited the site are refuting such claims, and those hostages who have been freed are reporting that they were treated with humanely by the militants who captured them.
In the video linked below the captive says that she was with her kids, they were not abused, the militants were friendly and even asked whether they could have a banana. Doesn't sound like the kind of people so evil that they cut the heads off infants and flail their entrails all over the place as the Western media is claiming.
If you are one of the people who has spread such malicious, racist lies you should either make the effort to post a correction and apology, or be honest that you are a genocidal racist participating in an effort to justify the cutting off of all water, fuel and electricity to #Gaza in an escalation of the 17 year long seige to levels of depravity not seen since the Nazi blockade on Stalingrad.
If you are a #Jew and spreading such horrid propaganda, you need to think about what it means that you are employing the same tactics of defamation used to justify a millenia of #antisemitic violence in #Europe.

@deonandan
I had always heard that “#globalist” was a dog whistle term for “#Jew.” It is #antisemitic in its origins.https://www.theatlantic.com/politics/archive/2018/03/the-origins-of-the-globalist-slur/555479/
