Hurried up to Bryant park after work to pay my respect and celebrate the brave people of Iran. It had just ended when I arrived but there were still some people left showing their support.

Be a voice for the voiceless. Don’t stop talking about Iran.

Wake up, world. Being silent in the face of extremism isn’t bravery. It’s not tolerance. It’s weakness.

Mariam, a Muslim woman from the UAE, is speaking out — and she’s not holding back. “Letting these groups grow and spread doesn’t make you look open-minded,” she says. “It makes you look spineless.”

She’s seen the danger. She’s lived near it. And she’s warning the world before it’s too late.

Believe us — the Jews — who have faced this hatred for generations. Believe her — a Muslim woman — who dares to speak the truth from within.

Kfir Bibas is one today. 

He should be celebrating his first birthday with his family at their home in Kibbutz Nir Oz. Instead, he’s been held hostage by Hamas since October 7th.

Happy birthday baby Kfir. We love you.

(Warning: This story describes deeply disturbing events and testimonials in graphic detail.) Expressions of agony survived their deaths, army reservist Shari Mendes said as she described what experts saw when they identified and prepared for burial the bodies of female victims of Hamas’s October 7 massacre. “These women arrived with their eyes open, their mouths grimacing, their fists clenched,” said Mendes, whose IDF rabbinical unit worked with the bodies, all of which were brought to the IDF’s Shura base.
