Millions of notes of prayer, wishes, and messages to G-d are tucked between the 2,000-year-old stones of Jerusalem's Western Wall. Twice a year, a powerful ritual takes place to honor those prayers. https://t.co/zSuYtKLukW

Amberley Thay is a 20-year-old history student at the University of Exeter in the UK. She is not Jewish. But after visiting Auschwitz and dedicating herself to Holocaust education and fighting antisemitism - including serving as a regional ambassador for the Holocaust Educational Trust - she became a target on her own campus.

Classmates called her a "Mossad agent," an "Israel mouthpiece," and accused her of supporting the killing of children. One fellow student warned a friend to stay away from her on those grounds. She also encountered students who claimed that only a few hundred thousand Jews were murdered in the Holocaust - a number they appeared to have absorbed from social media. The hostility hasn't stopped her. "It has reinforced my belief that Holocaust education and confronting antisemitism remain necessary," she said. When teaching the truth about the Holocaust makes you a target - we have a serious problem.

No Jewish child should have to choose between their education and their Jewish identity.

StandWithUs joins the ADL, American Jewish Committee, Jewish Federations of North America, and the Conference of Presidents to launch the Jewish Students' Bill of Rights - a six-point plan calling on schools across North America to combat antisemitism and protect Jewish students.

The plan calls on schools to train educators to recognize antisemitism, establish clear reporting systems, ensure accurate teaching about Jewish history and Israel, protect students who express their Jewish identity, and present contested issues in a balanced way.

"Far too many Jewish students carry the weight of educating others and defending their community against bias and bigotry in K-12 schools," said StandWithUs co-founder and CEO @RozRothstein . "It is time for the adults in the room to meet this moment with courage and moral clarity."

Speaking of Rosh Hashanah (the Jewish New Year) as a time of (re)birth: Avigail and Ariel have been identified as the most common Jewish baby names in Israel ahead of the holiday season, while Mohammed and Avigail are the most common baby names in Israel overall. Happy Rosh Hashanah to all those celebrating! 🍎🍯

On the eve of the 25th anniversary of September 11, 2,977 drones illuminated the skies over New York Harbor - one light for every soul lost that day.

Together, they rose and assembled into the outline of the Twin Towers at full architectural scale, visible from across the city. The tribute was developed alongside family members, survivors, and first responders - the people who carry the weight of that day in their hearts every moment of every year.

Twenty-five years later, we remember every name. We mourn every family. We will never forget. 🇺🇸🕯️

Fãs da série "Heated Rivalry" (Rivalidade Ardente) criaram uma petição na quinta-feira (3) pedindo que o ator judeu Kevin Zegers seja retirado da 2ª temporada. A alegação é de que ele teria manifestado apoio a Israel e posições consideradas sionistas.

A petição já tinha mais de 4 mil assinaturas em 24 horas. Houve também uma mobilização nas redes sociais, com fãs comentando “Free Palestine” nas publicações do ator.

Zegers se converteu ao judaismo em 2024, após se casar com a agente de talentos judia Jaime Feld, em 2013. O ator foi recentemente escalado para o papel do técnico Wiebe na segunda temporada de "Heated Rivalry".

A série é um sucesso entre o público LGBTQ+, ao narrar um romance secreto entre dois jogadores profissionais de hóquei.

Ou seja, uma série celebrada por sua representatividade e aceitação LGBTQ+ agora tem membros de sua própria base de fãs exigindo que um ator judeu perca o emprego por apoiar Israel e defender o direito de os judeus terem uma pátria. A discriminação não se torna aceitável só porque o alvo é judeu.

Até o momento, a produtora da série não reverteu a decisão de escalação e Zegers permanece na segunda temporada.

NYPD Commissioner Jessica Tisch on the 25th anniversary of 9/11:

"The men who attacked this city were terrorists. The men and women who ran into the towers to save innocent lives were heroes. 25 years cannot be allowed to blur that distinction - and shame on those who do."

Never forget. 🇺🇸🕯️

RT @michaeldickson: The first victim of 9/11 was Danny Lewin. Born in Denver, raised in Jerusalem. Captain in Sayeret Matkal. Mathematician. Co-founder of Akamai - the company that still carries a huge share of the internet.

On the morning of September 11, 2001 he boarded American Airlines Flight 11 from Boston to Los Angeles and sat in seat 9B.
Directly in front of him: Mohamed Atta and Abdulaziz al-Omari.

Directly behind him: Satam al-Suqami.
When the hijackers rose and moved toward the cockpit, Lewin - 31 years old, elite IDF officer - stood up to stop them.

Al-Suqami slit his throat from behind.
Flight attendants Betty Ong and Amy Sweeney radioed that a passenger in 9B had been stabbed and appeared dead. The 9/11 Commission later concluded he was almost certainly the first person murdered that day.

Twenty-five minutes later Flight 11 hit the North Tower.

He left a wife and two young sons.
Israel is the only country outside the United States with a 9/11 memorial that lists every victim by name, built from Ground Zero steel. Danny Lewin’s name is on it.

May his memory be a blessing.
🇺🇸🇮🇱
