Sending love and solidarity to Jewish friends in NY. This is at least the 3rd anti-Semitic attack in NY over past week

5 people were stabbed in an attack at a rabbi's home during a Hanukkah celebration on Saturday night in Monsey (north of NYC)

A suspect is in custody and will face five counts of attempted murder and one count of burglary.

Horrified to hear as well of anti-Semitic graffiti in #London. We must expose, fight and challenge the violence and hatred of anti-Semitism everywhere.

Anti-Semitic attack are on the rise.

Parents of non-Jewish kids, what have you told your kids about anti-Semitism? It's time to talk regularly about what Jewish people have gone through historically, why they're often a target, and review words & phrases that are inappropriate.
Tell them why "positive stereotypes" are dangerous and how these stereotypes were used to make Jews a target by Nazis.

White supremacists are doing what Nazis did back then - blaming Jews for the economic problems of others.

Talk to your kids before white supremacists do!
People were suffering after WWI and Hitler knew the suffering was a good way to get people to hate Jewish people. It worked.

Of course, German suffering wasn't Jews' fault! They were suffering, too.

But ppl believed it. They wanted a scapegoat.

Today, the alt-right is...

Anti-semitism is making stuff up about Jews because you're upset that people who average 115 IQ do better than people who average 100

Islamophobia is the legitimate fear of Muslims because their holy book says that God commands them to conquer the world and institute theocracy

ok, fine

Anti-semitism is making stuff up about Jews because you're upset that people who average 107 IQ do better than people who average 100

white nationalists: lol, stupid blacks - they can't get ahead because of their low geneticly based IQ. 85 or so.

white nationalists: THE JEWS DON'T HAVE 115 IQs, THEY AVERAGE 107, BUT THAT'S NOT WHY THEY'RE OVER-REPRESENTED IN PHYSICS; IT'S JUST JEWISH TRICKERY !!!!1!!!

I’m an avid history geek 🤓 and I got this idea from @GippersChutzpah!
My follower count is currently stuck in the mid ages. I’ll tweet some Jewish history milestones from along the years, according to my follower count. So come on, I’m 4 followers short of the first story...
On 13/12/1204, Moshe Ben Maimon AKA #Maimonides (Greek) and Ha’Rambam (Hebrew), died at 69 in Egypt.
A Philosopher, Physician, Astronomer and one of most important #Jewish Scholars of all times.
Buried in Tiberias @Israel, upon final request to be buried in the ancient homeland
WOW! 3 followers away from yet another milestone of #JewishHistory!
So far we learned about some pogroms 😠(1171 France, 1190 England) and Maïmōnídēs dying 😢(1204 Egypt).
JewishHistory is filled with sorrow and darkness but it gets better in the 2nd half of the 20th century 😉

1) So I went to a different synagogue today and heard from one of the great #Jewish thinkers, leaders, scholars, good souls of our time, Rabbi Joseph Telushkin.

It is hard to overstate his influence but let's just say this was once in a lifetime.

amazon.com/Joseph-Telushk…
2) Rabbi Telushkin was the scholar-in-residence at Congregation Beth Sholom in Potomac, Maryland. That means he gave multiple talks, Friday night, during services, after services, and again just before Havdalah (ritual ending the Sabbath).

I got to hear two of the talks.
3) Why should you care about this when there are more important things happening in the world?

I would argue that we spend a lot of time talking about the bad actors that have invaded our culture. We should talk about the good ones, more.
