This is my grandfather’s Menorah which he buried before his murder by the Germans in Auschwitz. My father dug it up after coming home from slavery, genocide and attempted community destruction. I light it today and it lights for eternity.

My companies offer unlimited paid sick time and just today we implemented a policy where we pay employees for the cost of up to 100 at home tests so that they have them and can test regularly.
Can’t wait for government to be human.

He was born in Pany in the Austro-Hungarian Empire in 1874. He moved to the US to be with older siblings in 1888. Returned to Hungary in 1898. Eight children. Was a proud Hungarian Jew. Owned Vineyards and a winery in Tallya, in Tokaj. Never thought Auschwitz could be.

Lives too. By the truly pious and faithful Catholics and Christians. The proverbial followers of Dietrich Von Bonhoeffer. Merry Christmas.

Extraordinarily proud. The menorah is strength, love and community. Eternally bright do burn the memories of my grandfather and all those who took their last breath in an Auschwitz gas chamber.
@SchoolFights4U
This is the fault of

I imagine my old man said something similar when he actually found the menorah along with his grandfathers yuntiff becher, which I also have. It’s beautiful and modern in a Tiffany’s style.

Actually, Americans are not as dumb, racist and anti-Semitic as the Germans. We are not buying the elections fraud bullshit. The German People let it happen. We are not.

I once led Graduate Student Unionizing efforts. We got the school to waive the 15 hour weekly limit on outside paid work. After I got my Ph.D., they restored it. How can anyone live on a graduate stipend in NYC while also prohibited from taking other work?

It’s October. The sniffles comes around annually.
That light in the sky every 70 years? Haley’s comet.
That light in the sky every morning? The sun.
That light in the sky every night? Moon and stars.
Not every light is a UFO. Not every cough is a pandemic.

Seems like it’s mild among the unvaxxed as well. It’ll be impossible to assemble stats with something so massive but we live what we see.

No there isn’t. Humans are humans. For that matter, what is the ammunition of ordinary people against powerful prosecutors and journalists? Public defenders? LOFL.
If all prosecutors and journalists feared being doxxed maybe there would be more justice in this country.

Its two kids abusing a third kid. Then a fourth kid on a bike gets into the mix and almost runs over the third kid. The third kid gets away but then one of the first two runs and gets him.
Then there’s the fifth kid who is filming it.
Kids 1, 2, 4, and 5 need a whooping. Hard.

Thank you. Happy Hanukah. It’s both a material and a spiritual treasure. For a people without a Temple, sometimes a Menorah will have to do. Sometimes it’s infinitely better than nothing.

Thank you. We can all do our part. Rather than speaking of ourselves, we can take time to speak of those whose noble sacrifice is far from our reality except without it we don’t have that reality.

I have not visited Auschwitz. I say that I know everything I need to know hearing it first hand from my father and his sisters. Perhaps I am scared or emotionally timid. It’s not easy stuff. You should be proud of your strength. And of your noble and dignified work.

He knew. He was a man of deep faith. After moving to the USA in 1888, he moved back to Hungary in 1898 because of anti-Semitism. He was a tough son of a bitch.
@seanhannity
If we wanna make American great again, why not strive for a time when we didn't have police officers in the schools? To a time when parents were able to walk in and volunteer to read with kids who needed the help, aka all kids.
Where have all the flowers gone??
@MarkLevineNYC
Have you seen the latest polls? 18-24 year olds overwhelmingly supported GOP candidates in New York State. And the bluest parts of NYC often include public housing complexes with under 20% voter registration. Dem Hegemony in NY is ending.

Marta, my 102 year-old Auschwitz-defeating aunt lit this Menorah under the Nazis. She lit it under the Communists. On this holy eighth day of Hanukah 2019 she lights it, and it lights us in freedom.

You’re giving BLM way too much credit.
Cops can be both heroes who rush into collapsing building and they can also be racists. My father told me of heroic acts Nazis performed to save Nazis - while minimizing all other life. Heroism and Racism are not necessary contradictions.
@swiecamom
Thank you. I say Kaddish for him on Shavuot because that is the day my father last saw my grandfather. Because the Nazis made it a point to round up and execute Jews around our Holidays, on those days many (now fewer) people say Kaddish for murdered and incinerated loved ones.
The party bosses ignored the values of rank-and-file Republicans by coronating a soft on

Today, I am reaffirming my intention to stay in this race and petition to secure my spot on the primary ballot.

I was in Ukraine. $30b in humanitarian aid is AWOL. At every level, from officials in Kyiv to regional governors to NGOs large and small, nobody knows where that aid has gone. $1.5b to USAID who allocated $150m to Chemonics. After that, mystery wrapped in incompetence.
@mikkeybh
@AuschwitzMuseum
Sadly, few Jews were in a position to do anything. Almost all the good was done by non-Jews. Courageous people with commitments to causes greater than themselves. In peace and then, when it got tough, in war.
@ProudElephantUS
It’s especially egregious considering that $20b of humanitarian aid has not yet been spent despite the appropriation. Just check out the
@USAID
and
@StateDept
reports. It’s not the Ukrainians who can’t be trusted. It’s the
@JoeBiden
administration.

Give me my guns and keep your Hitler and fascisms, thank you.
It’s 30m humans, including 6m Jews. If German teens could have carried guns, perhaps they could have fought against conscription into the Hitler youth. They couldn’t and succumbed to Nazi guns.

I’ll never forget our picket line on 116th Street and Broadway. Two students were discussing how they planned to get to the Hamptons while holding picket signs half-heartedly.
The experience inspired me to write a paper about Narratives of Poverty Among Graduate Students.

The focus is always on the object of the abuse. We name the victims but anonymize the SS murderers.
I want to know their names and for their kids, grandkids, neighbors, townsfolk and everyone to know their names. They aren’t just SS. They are individual Germans with names.

Hispanics don’t want:
Their kids having indiscriminate sex or ninth month abortions;
Drag Queens entertaining their seven YO children at school functions;
Boards of Education dictating values that should come from the home;
Living far from their parents for college or ever.

Who else is listening to the Jewish constituency of Monsey. I perfectly understand why this Jewish community wants guns to protect themselves. NOW! Before they rounded up the Jews of Europe and burned them alive, they rounded up their guns. My father told me it happened to him.
@AOC
Community? Of which community did you belong? Ever in your whole life.
How do we know you’re not lying about the sexual assault? Especially since you’re saying we can never question such a thing?
@jcroell
You’re welcome. I’m happy inheriting what I did in the form of community, Talmud, compassion in the law, and a love for freedom of religion and a right to fight for it. Happy Hanukah. Merry Christmas.

But the truck is broken so the next time it’s really hot there’s no ice cream.
Integrity dictates not buying it at that price and sticking to the free water. It’s what I did as a kid in queens when I didn’t have enough money for ice cream, whether or not gouging happened.

Perhaps the subjects of major news stories should vote on Pulitzer Prizes. Just following the science.
@YossiGestetner
The idea if science is never to trust. Always to prove. The phrase “trust the science” is an oxymoron. We trust in God; our gut; things in which we believe or for which we hope. The mantle of science is one of proof and hard evidence; one that is shareable across cultures.
You heard it here, directly from a Columbia student with a hammer and sickle and ‘glory to the intifada’ in her bio — there is ‘no fear’ among the students.
They don’t care about arrest, they don’t care about the administration, they don’t expect any meaningful consequences.

Tikun Olam is a Jewish virtue only after one has fulfilled Tikun Atzmi, self-repair. Hakeem should commune with an Old School, proper community man, such as

Actually, the Palestinians have autonomy on this matter and were free to spend their money on vaccines for their people. What happened to the money the Palestinian authority received to deal with the virus? The leadership stole part of it and their people will get vaccines late.
