Actor Mayim Bialik—of “Blossom” and “The Big Bang Theory” fame, and more recently, host of the popular TV game show “Jeopardy!”—and Melissa Weiss, executive editor of Jewish Insider, have been identified by Hadassah, The Women’s Zionist Organization of America, as two of the “18 American Zionist Women You Should Know.”

The group is “building bridges, making an impact and shaping the future of Zionism,” according to Hadassah.

Each is “doing essential work,” stated the organization’s CEO Naomi Adler. “They are educating Jews and non-Jews about what Zionism is and is not, and advocating for Zionism in the U.S. and around the world. Everyone who cares about Israel should know their names.”

As for Weiss, she tweeted that “it’s an honor to be included on this list.”

The court ruled that the parents failed to “plausibly allege” that their children lacking access to services at private school infringes on their rights.
Kenneth Marcus, founder and chairman of the Brandeis Center, told JNS that “we understand that those who characterize us that way, rather than as the civil rights organization we are, generally aim to marginalize us or undermine our efforts.”
Michael Specht, Ramapo Town Council supervisor, called the incident “very disturbing.”
The head of the Iranian parliament spoke after U.S. President Donald Trump warned he will destroy the Islamic Republic’s energy sites if it doesn’t open the Strait of Hormuz within 48 hours.
The latest attacks “show us what a cruel regime it is and what kind of danger it is,” the Israeli president said.
