The world largest displacement is happening in real time in 🇸🇩. 4.3 million are internally displaced due to genocide. 1.1 million are refugees. The world is silent.

🚨🚨BREAKING🚨🚨 Bezhani Sarvar has been charged in yesterday’s terror attack at Edmonton City Hall. Among the reasons he gave in a video recorded just before he entered the building was to ‘rise against’ leaders ‘responsible for genocide in Gaza’. The global intifada is here.

I’m still riding the high from today. The Tulsa Oilers Jewish Heritage Game was incredible. It was one of those rare moments that makes you feel like you’re watching the American promise actually happen in real time. Because what happened in that arena was simple, and it was enormous. We lived openly and proudly as Jews. In public. In our city. With joy. With confidence. With thousands of our neighbors cheering alongside us. There are moments lately when Jews are reminded, sometimes subtly, sometimes not, that we’re “supposed” to keep it down. Don’t be too visible. Don’t be too proud. Don’t ask for too much. Today was the opposite of that. Today was: we’re here. Today was: we belong. Today was: we’re proud. I looked around that arena and felt my chest tighten from emotion. That blue jersey with the Magen David. And we didn’t just have a fun night, we made history. This is the first time Jewish Heritage Game jerseys have been worn in a professional sports game. Think about that. In Tulsa. In 2026. With a packed arena. With our neighbors joining in. With Jewish pride celebrated. And what moved me most was this. It wasn’t only Jews wearing it. So many of our non-Jewish neighbors wore it too. If you’re Jewish, you know that’s not just “nice.” That’s deeply meaningful. The Magen David carries memory. It carries history. It carries everything our people have walked through. To see it worn proudly, by people who simply wanted to say, “We’re with you. You belong here,” was a kind of decency that restores your faith in people. That’s Tulsa. And it’s also America at its best. A country where you don’t have to erase yourself to belong, where identity isn’t a liability, where you can be fully who you are and still be fully part of the “we.” I’m proud of Jewish Tulsa. Proud of how our community showed up, joyful, confident, unafraid to celebrate who we are. And I’m proud of this city. Proud of the Tulsa Oilers organization for doing this with excellence and heart. Proud of Tulsa for showing up and making it real. Our identity is something we receive, carry, and hand to our kids stronger than we found it. Today that felt real and tangible. So yes, the game was incredible. But what I’ll remember is the feeling. Proud to be Jews. Proud to be Americans. Proud to be Tulsans. A huge thank you to Michael A. Sachs for the vision and heart that went into making this possible. Yasher Koach brother! And a heartfelt thank you to the Tulsa Oilers Hockey club for helping Jewish Tulsa celebrate this community and our city.

Protestors in Eaton Centre Mall in Toronto 🇨🇦 threaten to kill police, kill shoppers—and to top it all off—pull down the Christmas tree. I thought this was all about peace in the Middle East?

Hamas indiscriminately fired rockets toward civilians in Tel Aviv and central Israel today. Each one is a war crime. That’s 13 visible, documented, war crimes in this short video alone. I’m guessing we’ll hear demands from protesters that this stop immediately, right?

This is from France, but it could be any Jewish community, anywhere in the world. This isn’t 1938–it’s 2024. When fear wins, hate wins. Don’t let it happen here. Enough is enough.

Masada is absurdly beautiful. Desert cliffs, Dead Sea in the distance, and wind that makes you feel like you’re standing on the edge of the world. What you’re really standing in here is a place of living memory. This is the story of Jewish sovereignty. The last moment, in this land, before the long rupture. Before two thousand years of being acted upon instead of acting. Before exile. And that’s why Masada is so important after 1948. Because when people ask why Israel matters, Masada is a symbol of the answer. A people that refused to disappear. A people that came home and rebuilt what was lost. Am Yisrael Chai. 🇮🇱

I watched Yarden Bibas eulogize his wife and two tiny sons, and I broke. There are no words for such sorrow. Today, I am Yarden. We are all Yarden. All of Am Yisrael mourns with him. May their memory be eternal.
