With an homage to Ariel & Kfir Bibas, Yuval Raphael took 2nd in the Eurovision song contest. 588 days after she hid under bodies of Hamas' victims at the Nova festival, Yuval concluded her powerful "New Day Will Rise," by proclaiming "Am Yisrael Chai (the people of Israel live)!".

Thank you @RepLaHood for meeting with @ShalomPeoria and Rockford Jewish Federation. In addition to your support of the Jewish community, we appreciate your commitment to protecting enhanced tax credits for individuals who purchase their health insurance on the ACA marketplace.

We are deeply disappointed by @RepMikeQuigley call to recognize a Palestinian state, a dangerous move that rewards Hamas’ brutal massacre of Israelis and oppression of Palestinians. There can be no statehood without an end to Hamas and the recognition of Israel's right to exist.

Thank you, @GovPritzker, for signing SB1616, which will help schools avoid conflicts with cultural/religious holidays as they develop their school-year calendars, thereby creating more inclusive school environments. Thank you @tracykatzmuhl @senvillivalam & our partner advocates!.

Hate knows no boundaries. We condemn this hateful act and stand with our friends from @latinospro Only together can we defeat bigotry and hate, and make Chicago a safe place for people of all races, ethnicities, faiths and backgrounds.
Multiple buildings were vandalized early Saturday on the city's Southwest Side, Chicago police said. A Latino community center in Little Village told ABC7 they were among the targets spray painted with swastikas.

Total hate crime incidents fell by 25% across Chicago in 2024. With substantial declines across nearly every category, this drop is a testament to what's possible when we invest in people and community safety in a holistic way.

Loss of civilian lives during war is tragic & we appreciate that Israel is investigating this most unfortunate incident. We extend to the Holy Family Church and its congregants our deepest condolences and hopes for a better & peaceful tomorrow.
@JFederations express our deep sorrow over the damage to the Holy Family Church in Gaza City and over any civilian casualty. The Jewish people remain steadfast in our commitment to friendship and dialogue with the Catholic Church. (1/3).

What have you done over the last 650 days? Celebrated birthdays & holidays, gone on vacation, kissed your spouse or partner, hugged your child, etc. Now imagine you've spent all those days held hostage in a tunnel by Hamas terrorists. 50 hostages remain in Gaza-don't forget them.

Yesterday on the streets of Chicago, anti-Israel activists called for "DEATH TO AIPAC" "DEATH TO THE IDF" and an end to pacisifism and a move to intifida (violent uprising). Apparently calling for the murder of Chicagoans and violence is now OK in Chicago.

.@shalomaustin has launched a relief effort to support those impacted by the devastating Texas floods. May the injured & displaced find healing & safety. May the families of the missing and the dead know peace. May the memories of the lost be a blessing.

On July 4, 1776, our founders declared independence and launched the greatest democracy in history. On July 1 & 3, 2025, today’s leaders voted to strip food and medical care from the most vulnerable. That’s not patriotism. That’s not progress.
