In case that ridiculous women-hating garbage they published this week wasn’t enough to get you off the times.

For my Jewish friends: www.bendthearc.us/reject_adl_m...

In a time of ever-present bad news, it is delightful to have a several day run of good news: www.washingtonpost.com/dc-md-va/202...

I can't get enough of this local legend.

"...in fact, despite their distinct views about Israel, the dynamics that made older Jewish Democrats initially skeptical of Obama are the same that make you and your congregants skeptical of Mamdani....

MCJC Member Adina Cohen has filed a civil rights complaint after Club Pilates North Bethesda banned her for wearing shirts with messages like “Jews Say Ceasefire Now.” Read the press release from CAIR ⬇️ www.cair.com/press_releas...

Please take a minute to check out what one of our state legislators is up to.....

What the F basically sums up the entire state of affairs at the moment, this being the latest bit of icing on the authoritarian cake.

Friends, as we approach Yom Kippur and you consider how you can make Teshuvah this year; in particular how you can take collective responsibility for our community's wrongdoings, I'd encourage you to consider this. givebutter.com/FoodAidTzeda...

Outrageous

Grateful, once again, to @vanhollen.senate.gov for doing the right thing, even when (and especially when) the powers that be refuse to.

Well this is terrifying. www.theguardian.com/us-news/2025...

An update on this: the Maryland State Department of Education has reversed course and will not implement changes to remove mentions of Palestine in the state curriculum. Read more in CAIR’s press release: www.cair.com/press_releas...

"I would suggest that it is the Washington Jewish Week editorial board, not I, who has applied a double standard." Thank you @vanhollen.senate.gov for refusing to be bullied and for continuing to speak and vote with your conscience.

I have done a lot of pro-Palestinian, anti-Israel protesting over the past two years and the only times I've ever felt threatened and unsafe was when doing it here in Montgomery County.

Can you send a letter to the State Superintendent and Maryland Board of Education asking them to reverse these revisions and include Arab and Muslim voices in the process? Use this action alert from CAIR & the Imam Network: actionnetwork.org/letters/act-...

@peterbeinart.bsky.social articulates and supports exactly what I've been thinking: it is politically and even morally wise to welcome those who come late to the game, but equally important is recognizing those who were there all along and who history has proven right, both morally and factually.

This is so completely fucked up. No DEI efforts except for Jewish students; blatant anti-trans discrimination required.

This vote is tonight - please call your Senators now.

We hope other organizations will do the same!

Amazing - mondoweiss.net/2025/07/the-...

Guys: this is my super talented friend (esp. when it comes to fonts..) @bshaykin.bsky.social! Help him help @zohrankmamdani.bsky.social win over the Upper West Side.

Scary scary shit.

Finally had a chance to hang with team Tiffany Kelly for Gaithersburg City Mayor!

MCJC members joined the powerful Jewish Voice for Peace Stop Starving Gaza action in Washington, DC, last night. Jews say: Stop starving Gaza Never again is NOW!

Hoping that this victory will give politicians in other democratic strongholds with vocal Jewish constituencies the confidence to speak out for Palestinian justice! I'm looking at you Montgomery County, MD! www.nytimes.com/2025/06/25/n...

A little love and electoral advice for my friends in NYC....

Highly recommend folks take advantage of this offer - JC is such an amazing resource.

🚨 ACTION FOR GAZA: FRIDAY JUNE 27! 🚨 On Friday June 27th at 6 pm, join Jews, Palestinians, and others committed to Palestinian solidarity in Columbus Circle in downtown DC as we observe Shabbat and call on Congress to STOP STARVING GAZA. Please RSVP at bit.ly/shabbatforgaza

Finally read this - would highly recommend.

Please write to Raskin now and if you’re Jewish you can modify the letter to let him know.

Israel is using the so-called Gaza Humanitarian Foundation to condense Palestinians into increasingly narrow enclaves, forcing displacement through need. We are witnessing the rise of a new humanitarianism where aid sites double as kill zones. mondoweiss.net/2025/05/the-...

What a beautiful morning! Thanks to everyone who donated!

Friends, I'm joining with others on team DMV Jews for Gaza in the 5K for Gaza on Saturday. I don't think I need to say why these donations are so urgently needed right now. If you have a minute to donate, I'd be so grateful. getinvolved.unrwausa.org/fundraiser/6...

Thousands of children are dying and this is what our institutions are doing - demanded by their Jewish alumni www.washingtonpost.com/education/20...

It’s rare for anyone in the mainstream media to say anything data based or humanity-recognizing about people classified as sex offenders, so I had to share this one. www.nytimes.com/2025/05/09/m...

As promised yesterday, here is an action alert to send emails to the county council, urging them to vote no on funding for the Maryland/Israel Development Center. If you like to make phone calls, we'll drop a link to the contact information and a sample script as a reply.

This 100%

ACLU says another three US citizen children were disappeared from their own country today: www.aclu.org/press-releas...

Scary. And I'm not sure I understood that the EEOC can force my employer to provide it with my personal contact information.

We're relieved to hear he's been released but outraged to hear of the attack on Hamdan Ballal by Israeli settlers and military. This aggression against a filmmaker who dared to reveal Israel's destruction of his community is a symbol of and a warning about the costs of demonizing Palestinians.

the leap from disappearing the undocumented to disappearing visa holders to disappearing green card holders to disappearing naturalized citizens to disappearing natural born citizens is no leap at all, but a series of tiny steps block the path

Yes - the people who laid the ground work for this cannot now look away.

Thanks to David Freund for representing MCJC in Annapolis today, speaking about HB1462 (the Maryland CAMPUS Act: mgaleg.maryland.gov/2025RS/bills...). He voiced our concerns over unintended consequences of new "antihate" and "antidiscrimination" policies and the potential for censorship.

Woohoo! Maybe now some US studio will agree to distribute it! What an important win. www.youtube.com/watch?v=3gzo...

“They are part of a trend of American Jewish progressive organizations who have felt like they can’t talk about Israel’s oppression of Palestinians.... now we see that these restraints are giving cover to the genocide of Palestinians, and that’s intolerable.” jewishcurrents.org/a-progressiv...
