Imagine being held hostage for two years, taken from your bed, buried alive underground far from your family, chained in darkness, abused and starved - only to be told by CNN’s Chief International Anchor that it wasn’t that bad. Her bias played out live, again. CNN: Fire her.

One of the seminal prayers of the high holydays - A powerful rendition of Avinu Malkeinu, performed in Jerusalem by Barbra Streisand. It took place on June 18, 2013, at the Jerusalem International Convention Center (Binyanei Ha’Uma), during the gala marking Shimon Peres’s 90th birthday and the opening of the Israeli Presidential Conference. Peres himself had asked Streisand to sing it. Streisand introduced Avinu Malkeinu by explaining that it asks God for compassion “for us and our children.” She sang the Hebrew prayer using Max Janowski’s famous musical setting, the version she had previously recorded. She then performed “People.” The audience was extraordinary: Bill Clinton, Tony Blair, Benjamin Netanyahu, Robert De Niro and Sharon Stone were among those present. May we all be inscribed in the Book of Life.

There has been debate about how well - or not - the hit Netflix show “Nobody Wants This” represents *actual* Jews, but maybe they want to prep a little harder when their “Rabbis” are confusing Tu Bishvat - the New Year for Trees - for Tisha B’Av when we mourn the loss of the Temple in Jerusalem.

Heartbreaking: 23-year-old IDF Lieutenant Yaron Chitiz, from our community, came home last Shabbat to surprise his family after not being home for 80 days. Yesterday, he was killed in Gaza while defending the people of Israel from Hamas terrorists. The warm embrace he received upon his return last weekend now serves as a poignant last memory of him for his grieving family. Everyone misses you already, Yaron. Your memory and heroism will forever be a blessing. 🕯️
