Glad to see @jacobkornbluh getting the kavod he so deserves in this @nytimes profile. Truly such a talented reporter - and one of the kindest, most respectful people I worked with while at the White House. https://t.co/hED4OEo7gT

Jacob Kornbluh, a former lox-slinger with no degrees, became an unlikely fixture in New York politics. Now he is chasing the story of a lifetime, inside the new City Hall.

Imagine surviving the holocaust and getting murdered 80 years later for being Jewish in Australia. Actually, you don’t have to imagine. It happened today.

I think of this photo a lot. The owner, Rachel Posner, donated it to Yad Vashem, and on the back wrote in German: “Chanukah 5692 (1932). ‘Death to Judah,’ so the flag says. ‘Judah will live forever,’ so the light answers.” Some lights cannot be extinguished. Chag Sameach.

I know Sarah Hurwitz in real life, not from a clip on social media. She is a thoughtful, inclusive, compassionate person of great empathy & integrity whose books have been a profound gift to many, myself included. Sometimes the internet just sucks.

38+ weeks pregnant. A same-day train to NYC. A sold-out Omer Adam show at Madison Square Garden. Because “We will dance again” was never just a slogan - it was a promise. עם ישראל חי 🇮🇱✨

Sitting in the Knesset waiting for the President of the United States to arrive and learning this news - “There are no more living hostages in Gaza. They’re coming home.” As a proud Jew, a proud American, and an ardent Zionist, I’m so moved by this moment in history. ✡️🇺🇸🇮🇱

With the ceasefire now in place, people can prepare to exhale. Freedom for hostages & relief for their families awaits. Aid & quiet for Palestinian civilians in Gaza. With all the hard work ahead, these are great gifts. All the negotiators, from Pres Trump down, deserve credit.

At the home of my heroic friends, @MatanSivek and @BarBenYaacov. They have spent every minute since 10/7 leading the @bringhomenow forum in Washington, ensuring that the hostages remained at the forefront of international attention. Truly doing gd’s work.

This is a heartbreaking, but essential listen.
Eli Sharabi spent 491 days as a Hamas hostage. When he emerged from the tunnels he learned that the terrorists had murdered his entire family. This is the story of how he survived—and how he continues to choose life. https://t.co/oLqQGEwhnk

Marking two years since October 7, we stood with families of hostages and survivors at the Sukkah of Hope at the @kencen. The message is clear — we will not rest until every hostage comes home. 🎗️
