"In creating a modern nation which was not before a comprehensive national identity, Israel not only erased our right as Palestinians to the land, but also the richness of Jewish communities in Arab countries."

This is a shonda. Democracies do not suppress journalism. Full stop. Israel must reverse this unconscionable crackdown on independent reporting.

Wow — this suspension is pegged to holding "an unauthorized event Thursday afternoon that proceeded despite warnings and included threatening rhetoric and intimidation."
NEWS: Columbia University is suspending Students for Justice in Palestine (SJP) and Jewish Voice for Peace (JVP) as official student groups through the end of the fall term.

NEW: Amid divisions, Jews on the left find unity in calling for a Gaza ceasfire "We cannot get caught up in petty b——– right now," @ArielleLAngel told me two days after she described a crisis on the left. "There’s an imminent genocide.” https://t.co/7K6uHG1r7C

Rancor over the bloodshed in Israel opened "raw fault lines" among Jewish activists — but the violent Israeli response has brought them back together.

Vivian Silver devoted her life to fighting for Israeli-Palestinian peace. This is a beautiful profile by @SamLinSommer of her work, and the days since she has been feared abducted by Hamas. With a kicker quote from my incredible mom: "Bring my friend home"

Love @AndiBerlin's LI pupusas list. More Long Islanders were born in El Salvador than in any other country besides the US. Only right that the Salvadoran national dish is, as @Erica_Marcus said on FB, up there with pizza and bagels in LI's pantheon. https://t.co/2sVaO2tN0w

Much deserved!
Thrilled about this announcement-humbled to be the first Black editor to lead food coverage at a major Richmond outlet. Virginia has much to add to the culinary conversation, and to paraphrase the illustrious Andre 3000, “we got something to say.”

Used to live down the street. This is one of those classic, delicious “only in Brooklyn” situations.

As a practicing Orthodox Jew, I feel it important to note — today and every day — how critical it is to, collectively, be respectful of all denominations of Judaism, all religions or secularism. We are one people! לְמַעַן אַחַי וְרֵעָי אֲדַבְּרָה נָּא שָׁלוֹם בָּךְ 🤍

I adapted these fish-shaped jujube cookies from Hong Kong Cookery for a Chinese Rosh Hashanah, or a Jewish Moon Festival, or both. https://t.co/1q7i2CmFJQ

These fish-shaped treats, filled with date paste, will become your favorite Rosh Hashanah cookies — guaranteed.
