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.”

“It’s important for students to understand the connection between the Jewish people and the Land of Israel,” Luke Moon, a visiting fellow at Heritage Foundation, told JNS.
Forum HaGevura (“The Heroism Forum”) warned in the letter, a copy of which the group provided to JNS, that Hamas was exploiting the fact that Israel stopped taking the initiative in Gaza.
The mayor is not “an isolated New York phenomenon,” a Rockland County, N.Y., activist told JNS.
