" #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."

"#DavidHirshberg never had a brother. His three sons do, and #Hirshberg says all three are among each other’s best friends. For his latest #novel, “#CrossingtheBronx” (Fig Tree #Books), Hirshberg went in the opposite direction: two brothers find themselves on opposing sides of a fight over the construction of the #CrossBronxExpressway.
“Crossing the Bronx” is Hirshberg’s third novel and the final #book in his Mid-Century #Trilogy, following “#MyMother’sSon” (2018) and “#JacobosRainbow” (2021).
The novel is set in 1952 and centers on Jay deVenezia, a 23-year-old, six-foot-five-inch #Italian #Jew from the #Bronx, and his older brother, Eric “Bud” deVenezia. Eric is muscular, intimidating and at ease among the neighborhood toughs who surround their father, Ike. Jay works at a record store and is drawn more to books, music and #Hebrew study."

"In May 1818, #MordecaiManuelNoah, a prominent #Jew of his time and a member of the #Madison administration, delivered a discourse on #Jewish #history on the occasion of a #synagogue consecration. One man read #Noah’s words with interest, and took pen to paper to say so.
“Your sect by its sufferings has furnished a remarkable proof of the universal spirit of #religious #intolerance,” the correspondent noted, in elegant cursive. “Our laws have applied the only antidote to this vice, protecting our religious, as they do our civil, rights by putting them all on equal footing. But more remains to be done, for although we are free by the law, we are not so in practice.”
The letter’s author was #ThomasJefferson. 200 years later, there’s still work to do.
The Jefferson letter is one of 75 objects on view at All We Have Standing Between Us: 250 Years of Jews and #American #Democracy, the American Jewish #Historical Society’s new exhibit at the Center for #JewishHistory."

Tucker Carlson’s Bigotry and Antisemitism
https://world-outlook.com/2026/05/14/tucker-carlsons-bigotry-and-antisemitism/[transcript of #PeterBeinart video with introduction and photos by #WorldOutlook]
May 14, 2026In this episode of his notebook, Beinart speaks about #TuckerCarlson and other right-wing commentators and their unabashed anti-Black and anti-#immigrant bigotry as well as their Jew hatred. #Carlson is the well-known former Fox News commentator who since 2023 hosts 2 right-wing talk shows...
This discussion is timely. Carlson and other ultra-rightists have recently broken with #Trump over the #Iran war, claiming that #Israel forced Washington into attacking Tehran. In a recent podcast, for example, Carlson proffered “remorse” for his previous exaltations of Trump and for vigorously campaigning for Trump’s re-election in 2024.
In the transcript below, #Beinart presents convincing evidence that confirms Carlson’s bigotry and #Jew hatred.

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/

Afirmar "Yo no estoy en contra de los judíos, solo estoy en contra de los sionistas" es decir "yo no tengo nada en contra de los judíos, salvo el hecho de que quieran practicar su judaísmo, expresar su identidad judía y vivir". #jewish #jew #judaism #judio #judaismo #zionism #sionismo #sionista "zionist #zion #israel
