Vandals Destroyed this Menorah at Northwestern U's Chabad This Week.
What the Bleep?! This Week's Hot Jewish News
So, obviously the biggest WTF this week in Jewish life (or any kind of life) was the election. A few post-election thoughts: Jews voted 66% for Dems (less than in the past) and was Israel a factor? Or just the economy? Lots of Jewish legislators were up for reelection, and Capital J covered the big wins and losses – read their hilarious Jewish election post-mortem.
For your next Birthright trip. How to pick up tough Israeli chicks.
WTF – these Jews are making us all look bad. Child porn collectors and blackmailers (and it doesn’t help when they’re a rabbi).
Anti-Semitism is alive and well. Look at this &$^%: an attack on Northwestern U’s Chabad Center; a businessmen rejects Jewish “blood money”. No wonder the Feds are expanding protection for Jewish students.
UNESCO makes an ass of itself – protecting Muslim holy sites and ignoring Jewish ones. Way to go.
And on Israel, Mass. proves its a little more kooky than the rest of us. My former stomping grounds of Somerville and Cambridge pass one-sided resolutions that “forget” the complexities of the Arab-Israeli conflict; and speaking of complexities – is anyone shocked that Brandeis is hosting Noam Chomsky and putting together an Israeli Occupation Week? Um…. WTF? And this is from our country’s Jewish university?
