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.
“We are more scared than ever,” Jewish activist Jennifer Laszlo Mizrahi told JNS. “Despite the overall reduction in the number of instances, the severity of instances is terrifying.”
The analysis found that Cole Allen, who faces multiple felony charges for the April 25 attack, had “multiple social and political grievances” and cited his social media posts criticizing the war.
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.

Pressed for time because its economy is suffering immensely under crippling sanctions, the regime in Tehran is making threats to coax America back to the negotiating table.
P.A. leader Mahmoud Abbas is afraid that former Fatah strongman Mohammed Dahlan will return from exile with UAE backing, while Hamas leader Ismail Haniyeh is looking over his shoulder at his predecessor, Khaled Mashaal.
Tehran clearly intends to exploit the “embassy incident” to rally public support in Iraq for expelling U.S. forces from the country, presenting President Trump with a dilemma.
The Kurds’ warnings that the Turkish military operation in northern Syria will give ISIS a shot in the arm might be somewhat exaggerated, but are not baseless or unreasonable.
For months now, the commander of Iran’s Quds Force has tried settling the score for the hundreds of airstrikes Israel has conducted on Iranian facilities and bases in Syria. His most recent embarrassment will only increase his appetite for revenge.
Sanctions may be taking their toll, but are falling short of preventing Iran from running amok across the Persian Gulf. Western powers must come up with a military strategy.
It’s unclear whether the formula for resolving the crisis has been found, but optimistic leaks from the White House have caused global oil prices to plummet.
The White House is still hoping that despite their recalcitrant statements, the Iranians will come to their senses and agree to return to the negotiating table.
