The Israeli consul general in New York told JNS that this year was the first time the Jewish state held an Independence Day celebration in New York City under a mayor who doesn’t recognize it.
Israel Advocacy Day brings together pastors and rabbis from more than 37 states to the nation’s capital at a time of increasing criticism of Israel on both sides of the political aisle.
“It is disturbing to see some corners of our justice system treat the life of a Jewish American as worth so little,” Alyza Lewin, president of U.S. affairs at the Combat Antisemitism Movement, told JNS.

Moments after Varsha Gandikota-Nellutla, of the Hague Group, made the admission, Andrew Gilmour, a former senior U.N. official, warned her that “there are 108 people on this call, so just assume it’s not confidential.”
A deadline in the law has yet to pass, but Rabbi Josh Joseph, of the Orthodox Union, told JNS that “we expect the mayor and the NYPD to work in close coordination with the community to ensure that the intent of this legislation is fully upheld.”
The National Education Association “sends the message to the local and state affiliates that antisemitism is acceptable,” Marci Lerner Miller, of the Brandeis Center, told JNS.
The president’s call for a national Shabbat “celebrates our religion and it refocuses on our job to become a light unto the nations,” Rabbi Steven Burg of Aish told JNS.
The Israeli consul general in New York told JNS that this year was the first time the Jewish state held an Independence Day celebration in New York City under a mayor who doesn’t recognize it.
Rare documents, letters and photos on display at the President’s Residence trace a century of engagement between the Chief Rabbinate and American presidents.

No one need be alarmed at reports that the UAE is in contact with Iran. If the Vienna talks fail, the Emirati connection could wind up being a vital communications channel.
One thing is absolutely certain: Washington’s restraint in the face of ongoing Iranian red-line violations is what emboldened Tehran to launch the suicide drone at the oil tanker.
The terror group would sign a ceasefire in a heartbeat if offered the opportunity. Its leaders understand that their situation is bad and getting worse by the minute.
The Arab Spring left monarchies in place, but Arab monarchs fearful for their thrones and dynasties. Jordan’s king has taken steps to ensure that the crown goes to his own son rather than his popular half-brother.
It seems that the Iranians have found ways to bypass U.S. sanctions, and instead of rushing to grab Biden’s proposals with two hands, Ayatollah Ali Khamenei is now signaling that the Islamic Republic is in absolutely no hurry.
