Weird how the Times spent all those resources exposing yeshivas defrauding the government, and all they came up with were these nothingburgers from disgruntled parents actively campaigning against yeshivas, but they have nothing on more than $100m in fraud elsewhere. I wonder why
I saw the back of my head in the Time today, and the photo's caption about my son's school was unbelievable. "At Tomchei Tmimim of Ocean Parkway in Midwood, one parent said she was told her son must receive services to attend the school." 1/7

Well, it's finally official, murder is legal in the state of New York
I did not come to support Medical Aid in Dying lightly. But it isn’t about shortening life — it is about shortening death for those who are terminally ill.

This haunting Yiddish adaptation feels like it could have been written today.
Tonight, many of us will sing the final verse of Maoz Tzur, depicting how we’ve been treated throughout Jewish history. Listen to this beautiful tune and pray for a world where Jews can live without being attacked https://t.co/GFHgUILnxd

I would play the world's smallest violin, but it was probably made in Israel
By speaking earlier this week at Tel Aviv University, I made a serious mistake. In the past, when formulating my views about Israel-Palestine, I’ve sought out Palestinian friends and interlocutors and listened carefully to their views. In this case, I did not. I really wanted

"We did a comprehensive study about lions all over the world. It was incredible, really, we managed for the first time to include every type of lion (Africa was outside the study's scope)."

The one thing that can bring world Jewry together
I have a minhag that any time someone posts Lieder's Lecha Lecha video, I watch the whole thing.

This isn't an apology. A sincere apology needs to specify what you're apologizing for. He didn't even mention the main issue with his Covid policies, which was selective enforcement against Jews, not some vague "insensitivity".
🚨 on Yerev Yom Kippur, Andrew Cuomo apologizes to the Orthodox community for singling them out and for unfair treatment during the COVID-19 outbreaks. “I am truly sorry… On this holy day of atonement, I am committed to learning from these lessons.”
