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 U.S. president told reporters that he intends to read his agreement with the Iranian regime “word by word” publicly to set the record straight.
“When you have something saying you can’t go to someone who uses divination, or a witch, or consults spirits, or a wizard, or a necromancer, that means this is something people were doing,” Eddy Portnoy, the curator, told JNS.
“No family should have to fight this hard to ensure a Jewish child’s safety at school,” James Pasch, vice president of litigation for the ADL, stated.
The partnership is an “indication that elected officials are taking seriously the unprecedented increase in anti-Jewish incidents occurring in schools across our country,” Brandy Shufutinsky of the Foundation for Defense of Democracies told JNS.
FOZ founder Mike Evans said he plans to urge Trump to recognize Somaliland, citing its growing ties with Israel and its decision to open an embassy in Jerusalem.
The former Missouri congresswoman stated that she has pledged to “bring an end to the U.S. military aid to Israel that enables genocide against Palestinians.”
