Ann Coulter dug herself in deeper with a new rant
about how the ADL is soft and left wing. Uh, okay. And then she
ranted about Rep. Keith Ellison’s (D. MN) swearing in on the Koran
rather than a bible and how he’s a Holocaust denier. Congress’ first
muslim member actually on very good terms with the [...]
Last week there was a bit of dustup recently over some Jewish organizational efforts to silence the movement to recognize the Armenian Genocide at the hands of the Turks in WWI because a) nobody could have suffered more than the Jews and b) Turkey’s alliance with Israeli might somehow be jeopardized… Whatev. But thankfully that’s [...]

Audio-visual equipment, computers and donated food were taken from the Agudas Achim-North Shore Congregation at 5029 N. Kenmore, according to members of the congregation.

In case you missed it, Norman Finkelstein (DePaul) is not getting tenure.
I’m not a fan; he seemed more opportunistic weasel than a misunderstood academic. His constant attempts to portray himself as a martyr for the anti-Israel cause didn’t win him any points in my book- especially because in doing so, he reinforced the will of [...]
This was in the Trib last month, but it caught my eye.

For Temenim, the Shi’ite is hitting the fan….
“SANAA (Reuters) – Dawood Suleiman, a Yemeni Jew, felt something had changed in his village when someone threw a stone at him in the street. Soon after, the Jews of Al Salem received a threat from a local Shi’ite rebel group warning them to leave.”

A new feature is the first Arab puppet in the Israeli series, “Rechov Sumsum.” Its Palestinian counterpart, “Shara’a Simsim,” seeks to offer positive [...]
Have none of these Sephardi Rabbis contemplaed the theological implications of the Book of Job on our People? This is the second time this iugly idea has come about. Theory: in progressing the arguement that one element of Am Yisrael, through their actions, are responsible for HaShem’s wrath on us as a whole, [...]
I’m not sure what’s more frightening about this experience that Guth had, that it happened at all or that it came out of the mouth of a US Serviceman…
The Lincoln Park Chad Society does a fine job ribbing its own Gap Khakis wearing image, and I laugh at their Stella quaffing, alternapeople gawking, Trixie-chading escapades. Except when they go and say something stupid like this:
“Every afternoon, while their husbands are out being Jewish and trading money, the Highland Park mom brings [...]
In the West Bank settlement of Dolev, near Binyamin community, the Yad Yair synagogue was damaged, leaving Torah scrolls and many other sacred objects housed within (and in the adjoining building) burned and destroyed. The Binyamin Regional Council suspects Palestinians to be behind the incident.
The synagogue, west of Ramallah, was erected over a decade ago [...]
Every Jew has a cousin in Buenos Aires. 200,000 Jews live in Argentina, and a dozen years ago, the world was shocked when a bombing rocked the Argentine Jewish community. The AMIA (essentially a JCC) was reduced to rubble in an explosion that killed 85 and injured 200. It followed the 1992 bombing [...]
Peli, recognized by many as the mother of Orthodox feminism, died in Yerushalayim yesterday morning at age 74. Born in New York, she made aliyah in the early 70s with her husband, Rabbi Pinchas Peli, and began a women’s minyan in her home using her own Torah scroll which led to the establishment of Congregation [...]
A few months back, Oprah visited visited Auchswitz with Elie Weisel when she made “Night” part of her book club. It was her “make good” after the ‘million little pieces’ debacle. There was something a bit creepy about an anesthetic walk through an empty, abandoned death camp may be effective in person, but TV [...]
This week, if case you haven’t been to shul for the past four weekends straight for the Holidays, consider that this town in Poland is having its first Shabbat in nearly seven decades. It says something about the revival going on in Poland, but it also says alot about the time its taken to get [...]
NPR today reported that President Mahmud Ahmanedinejahadineminejad of Iran has launched a multi-lingual blog.
Good. Let’s tell him what we think of his Hizbollah-antics, his virulent anti-Semitism and threats to wipe Israel and its inhabitants off the map. Shouldn’t be hard to flood his inbox and comment section with a pretty heavy dose of [...]
First a Sydney shul was attacked. Now an Israeli man was stabbed to death. New Zealanders seem to enjoy desecrating Jewish cemetaries. And we all know about Ozzie Mel Gibson’s feelings on the subject. Is there something Anti-Semitic going on down under? John Howard might not think so, but I do. Anyone remember the last [...]
With security already tightened due to Middle East violence, Jewish institutions are bracing for the worst. Hizbollah was behinid the murderous bombing of the AMIA Building in Buenos Aires a decade ago, which killed over 80 people, and there’s a chance they could do similar things now. On Friday, there was a shooting [...]
“When you know Hitler, he is the greatest guy ever existed…” Sounds like a line right out of Mel Brooks “The Producers,” right? Sometimes life imitates art, and I’m just waiting for this guy to say he’s working on a musical or a screenplay…
Former Chicago resident and Wisconsin farmer Theo “Ted” Junker has [...]
Or at least they stuck it to the Iranians for us… at Futbol, of course.
These Mexican fans at the game show their contempt for Iran with mad love for the Jewish State. Because a couple hundred years ago, their Converso families were really Jewish. Or was it because they really were Mossad agents posing Mexicans… [...]
