Statement this afternoon. #tufts #ICE #antisemitism

My statement today in response to questions about developments at Columbia U, the ICE detention this weekend, and the letters warning several MA universities of forthcoming action. #mapoli www.jcrcboston.org/fighting-ant...

Spot-on, timely, and necessary recommendations by the @globeopinion.bsky.social editorial today: Massachusetts schools need a balanced curriculum on the Mideast #mapoli www.bostonglobe.com/2025/03/09/o...

Some thoughts on #CaptainAmerica #BraveNewWorld: www.instagram.com/p/DGJNYPaP4Ua/

As we anticipate the new #CaptainAmerica film, I talked with Rev. Chris Burton about the profound impact of comic books and superhero films on identity, representation, and societal issues. Check it out.

I'm really proud that we @ JCRC came together w/ the Council of Churches to organize this valuable & urgent briefing on sacred spaces, protected status, & congregation's rights amidst widespread concerns. Thx MA AG's office & Gov's office of Refugees & Immigrants for working with us. #mapoli

"Humans are fascinating creatures. We can experience a multitude of diverse feelings simultaneously.... we can be weeping and resilient, we can be yearning and hopeful." Powerful from Rachel Goldberg-Polin time.com/7207459/isra...

Some of us (me) have been @notredame.bsky.social football fans since the day we were born. Really excited for tonight. #GoIrish!

And thank you for being a steadfast ally and moral leader.

"a 34-year-old Beverly (#Massachusetts ) man, allegedly threatened to rape Jewish women and encouraged others online to shoot people outside of synagogues. Nazi paraphernalia and illegal weapons were found in a search of his... home, according to investigators." www.nbcboston.com/news/local/b...

Tonight, January 1st, is the 8th night of #Chanukah. Which means that we have the rare opportunity to celebrate this holiday twice in one (secular) year. Light it up, friends! Happy Chanukah 2025 round 1!

I was in #Israel on Day 100 after #October7. If you had told me then that I’d be here again on day 450, still waiting for the hostages to come home, I would not have believed you. And here we are. #BringThemHomeNow

Hard to express the sorrow and the determination that was felt when visiting Mt Herzl’s military cemetery. Here rest many of the heroes of #Israel, including soldiers who died on and since #October7 May all their memories be for a blessing and an inspiration.

#HappyHanukkah! 🕎

Scenes from our visit to Kibbutz #NirOz today - the actual high chair of Kfir Bibas, the youngest hostage taken on #October7 (& still being held by #Hamas terrorists in #Gaza); the anger toward Bibi of the grandparents of a family of 5 killed on that day. #BringThemHomeNow

I’m in Israel for the week and lo and behold night one found us in a shelter at 2am when the Houthis in Yemen fired yet another missile. This one was intercepted. But others, as recently as Saturday, have caused real harm. This is a part of the reality here.

p.s. Yes, I am amused that I'm somehow become the stock photo for 'Jewish person looking at books'.

Thank you @bostonglobe.com for publishing this essay from Joan Leegant.

"Calling Jewish writers Zionists as an epithet & hence reason to be excluded from bookstores, festivals, panels, literary magazines, and the annals of publishing unless we denounce our attachment to our identities is a frightening development in American culture." www.bostonglobe.com/2024/12/21/o...

Have you seen #JewishBookMonth mentioned much/at all within "mainstream" media? A rare appearance today, in @bostonglobe.com—via Joan Leegant's op-ed. archive.ph/yDqqa. #WritingCommunity #ReadingCommunity

This is a shocking and disturbing must read piece.

What a delightful story in @bostonglobe.com today. Carol Clingan has done a truly special thing; saving & preserving a piece of #Massachusetts #Jewish history.

Thank you #Lehrhaus in #Somerville for inviting me to give a talk on #Jewish representation in the #Marvel Cinematic Universe, and for allowing us to record it. You can watch now: #jewishsuperheroes #MCU

So, it its starting to appear that this platform is also a bit of a hellhole, but of a different nature. I've already had to block several people who have come at me with antisemitic and dehumanizing language.

Thank you to the US Attorney for MA and the FBI Boston office for your diligence in pursuing this case & for sending a strong message that #antisemitism will never be tolerated here in Massachusetts.

My letter today to our community regarding last week's U.S. Senate vote on the joint resolutions of disapproval, and what I've been hearing and reflecting upon since then.

Is there a way to create private (non-visible) lists of accounts to follow on this platform? Thanks in advance. #AskingForAFriend

What does it mean to feel like you have to hide your Jewish identity right here in Boston? Some thoughts I shared with the MA Special Commission to Combat #Antisemitism last week. Watch: www.instagram.com/reel/DCzeA7G...

Heinous. May his memory be for a blessing and may those responsible be brought to justice.

I can’t think of anything more powerful than sharing what we love about our people, our tradition and our culture. Mazal Tov!

Props to the #Brookline Town Meeting for officially establishing Jewish American Heritage Month ( #JAHM ) in the town (May), in keeping with the national month and national call to combat #antisemitism by lifting up and celebrating our heritage in this country.

I spoke to @marcrod.bsky.social at Jewish Insider re yesterday's veto at the U.N. and last night's vote in the U.S. Senate. jewishinsider.com/2024/11/nine...

Thank you to the MA U.S. Attorney's team and the Boston FBI Field Office for your efforts and your dogged pursuit of accountability, leading to a measure of justice in this case which terrified and caused real harm in our Boston area Jewish community. www.bostonglobe.com/2024/11/18/m...

Rep. Auchincloss: U.S. needs to focus on splitting Iran and China, not Saudi normalization with Israel (via #Jewish Insider) jewishinsider.com/2024/11/jake...

Thank you, ADL New England, for your bold response to last week's outrageous letter in The Sun Chronicle. Invoking age-old antisemitic tropes and victim-blaming is disturbing. www.thesunchronicle.com/opinion/lett...

The 2nd hearing of the Massachusetts Special Commission on Combatting Antisemitism is today (Nov. 19) at 11am. You can follow along here: #mapoli malegislature.gov/Events/Heari...

Thank you for being here tonight. I had a lot of fun preparing this class and it was truly special to be joined by friends.

For my talk at @ Lehrhaus tavern tonight on #Jewish representation in the #MCU I decided to be a little extra and really bring in the #SpiderMan vibe. #itsallaboutthesocks 🙏 #KippahMan
