1) OP-ED: Why I Was Proud to March for Israel in Washington
Writing in the Jerusalem Post, I ask: what does it mean to constantly fight for your life — your right to exist? This is a reality Israelis are all too familiar with. I reflect on this and why Jews from across America took part in the March For Israel and against antisemitism.

2) OP-ED: Why Colleges and Universities Must Get Off the Fence in Israel’s War Against Hamas
In an op-ed for the Miami Herald, I went public with the central message that AJC has been conveying to college and university leaders: you either stand with Israel and the thousands who have been murdered, wounded, raped, and kidnapped by Hamas or you stand on the side of terrorists.

4) WATCH: We Must Stand Strong as a People
In my Kabbalat Shabbat address at Park Avenue Synagogue in New York City last week, I spoke about what it was like to visit the sites of Hamas’ atrocities and meet with survivors, family members of hostages, and Israeli President Herzog, earlier that week. Additionally, I provided a line-by-line takedown of the four big lies spread by Hamas supporters on college campuses and around the world.

5) WATCH: A Future of Hope — My Conversation with Noa Tishby and Bari Weiss
It was an honor to moderate this conversation between two amazing champions for Israel and the Jewish people: Israeli actress and former special envoy for combating antisemitism Noa Tisby, and journalist and writer Bari Weiss. This incisive conversation, held at Congregation Gates of Prayer in New Orleans, focused on Jewish identity, antisemitism, and Zionism post-O‍cto‍ber ‍7.

“It has been 38 [now 41] days since the 240 hostages were taken... We cannot allow the world to move on. We must not rest until these families are made whole.”

9) Montana Tucker’s Inspiring Remarks at the March For Israel
I was lucky enough to run into Montana Tucker after her inspiring remarks today at March For Israel.

She said it best: “Never forget and never again. One person can make a difference and there are thousands of people here. We are all making a difference and we are all in this together.”

10) “Globalize the Intifada” Is a Call To Destroy Israel
A social media account has posted a map of dozens of institutions in Manhattan, most of them Jewish, with the headline “Globalize the Intifada: Zone of Operations.” It describes them as the “enemy of the colonized people” and calls for “direct action” to be taken. A reminder: globalizing the intifada is a call to destroy Israel and attack Jews around the world. This is not promoting peace. This is an incitement to violence against Jews and it must be taken seriously.
