“Ceasefire now!”

Led by Jewish Voice for Peace hundreds of American Jews take direct action in DC against US politicians complicity in Israel’s attacks on Palestinians in Gaza,

Thousands of US Jews with @ifnotnoworg converged on the @whitehouse to demand a meeting with @potus, a ceasefire in Gaza, release of Israeli hostages, and an end to American support of occupation of Palestinians.

Vivian Silver devoted her life to fighting for Israeli-Palestinian peace. This is a beautiful profile by Sam Lin-Sommer of her work, and the days since she has been feared abducted by Hamas. With a kicker quote from my incredible mom: 'Bring my friend home' bit.ly/46tQHi2

Love Andi Berlin's LI pupusas list. More Long Islanders were born in El Salvador than in any other country besides the US. Only right that the Salvadoran national dish is, as Erica Marcus said on FB, up there with pizza and bagels in LI's pantheon.

The last words of Michael Zack, executed this evening in Florida.

Yum. Sounds like Mexico City is really getting its bagel game on! Great story by Sam Lin-Sommer for The Forward forward.com/culture/560244…

Read my colleague Sam Lin-Sommer’s latest on the Mexico City bagel boom.
