If somebody had told you just a few weeks ago that Gary Lineker would be forced to depart the BBC and would not be presenting World Cup coverage next year, you would not have believed it. But that is exactly what happened. The BBC didn’t want to do it, but they were forced to because of the pressure that we brought to bear.
When footage emerged that appeared to show a member of Northern Irish band Kneecap shouting “up Hamas, up Hizballah” onstage in London while draped in a Hizballah flag, the community turned to us to take action.
We did. That band member has been charged with a terrorism ofence. He is awaiting trial.
Abu Wadei travelled to the UK on a dinghy expecting that nobody would notice. But we did.
We identified him as having been involved in a violent Hamas-afliated unit in Gaza and as having used antisemitic rhetoric.
We put him on the front pages of national newspapers and secured his arrest. He has been convicted and jailed.
These national stories are only a fraction of what we at CAA have been doing in just the past few weeks.

Colorado flamethrower faces
16 atempted murder charges
BY DAVID SAFFER
Egyptian national Mohamed Sabry Soliman faces 16 counts of attempted murder and a federal hate crime after throwing a makeshift famethrower and Molotov cocktails at demonstrators calling for the release of Israeli hostages in Gaza in Boulder, Colorado hours before Shavuot last Sunday.
Te FBI are investigating the incident during a peaceful weekly march organised by Run for Teir Lives as an “act of terrorism”. Tey believe Soliman was acting alone.
Among eight people injured, aged 52-88, three remain, one in critical condition, at the UCHealth University of Colorado Hospital. Te eldest victim is Holocaust survivor, Rabbi Israel Wilhelm, Chabad director at the University of Colorado Boulder. Details of the injured have not been released.
Soliman, 45, is being held on a $10 million bond. He is seen on footage shouting “free Palestine” during the attack, and has also been charged in court by federal prosecutors with two counts of use of an incendiary device and 16 counts of attempted use of an incendiary device.
“When he was interviewed about the attack, he said he wanted them all to die, he
“When
had no regrets, and he would go back and do it again,” Colorado’s acting US attorney, J. Bishop Grewell, told a news conference on Monday.
According to court documents, Soliman told authorities no one, including his family, knew his plans.
“He stated that he had been planning the attack for a year and was waiting until after his daughter graduated to conduct the attack,” an afdavit stated. It added that Soliman was living in the US illegally and told police he wanted “to kill all Zionist people”.
Soliman’s wife and fve children are being held in custody by authorities US Immigration and Customs Enforcement, pending possible deportation.
US President Donald Trump led the condemnation vowing to prosecute Soliman to the “fullest” extent of the law. “My heart goes out to the victims of this terrible tragedy,” he said.
Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu described the attack as “blood libels against the Jewish state and people”.
“Te victims were attacked simply because they were Jews”, he said, adding that he trusted the US authorities to prosecute the “cold-blooded perpetrator”.
President Isaac Herzog spoke to Jewish community leaders including Renee Rockford, President and CEO of the Jewish Federation, following the attack.
“Te terror attack is sickening and outrageous,” he said. “Tis vile act of terror is a painful reminder that antisemitism knows no borders. Let me be clear, we will never let terror win. Te American and Israeli peoples stand united determined to bring all our hostages home and to ensure no Jew, anywhere, stands alone.”
Ambassador to the UN Danny Danon called for “concrete” action. “Terrorism against Jews does not stop at the Gaza border, it is already burning the streets of America,” he said.

Te US Justice Department denounced the attack as a “needless act of violence”, which followed recent attacks against Jewish Americans.
Senate Minority Leader Chuck Schumer noted: “Tis is horrifying and cannot continue. We must stand up to antisemitism.”
Te Boulder Police Department notifed the FBI within minutes of the attack.
Boulder Police Chief Stephen Redfearn said: “Our ofcers rushed to the scene as quickly as they could to protect our community and arrest the suspect. I greatly appreciate all of our law enforcement and community partners who responded to help as well. I want to assure our Boulder community that we will have increased presence at many events and locations throughout the city to ensure safety.”
Colorado’s Attorney General Phil Weiser noted: “People may have difering views about world events and the Israeli-Hamas confict, but violence is never the answer to settling diferences.”
Boulder’s Jewish community said in a joint statement: “When events like this enter our own community, we are shaken.”
Mayor Aaron Brockett added: “Violence and hatred have no place here. Attacks like these seek to strike terror in people’s hearts and divide us from one another.”
Te Anti-Defamation League warned last week that Jewish communities in the US faced “unprecedented high threats”. Jewish organisations globally joined the call for justice after the Boulder attack. World Jewish Congress called on law enforcement and government leaders to act decisively.
“Now is the time for action, before more lives are lost and more cities are stained with blood,” said WJC president Ronald S. Lauder. “Te frebombing is horrifying, but it should not come as a surprise. Since October 7 2023, we have been warning that antisemitism is not isolated to the margins. Supporters of Hamas are now emboldened and threatening towns and cities across America and the democratic world.”
Lauder added: “Tis attack, like the murders outside the Jewish museum in Washington, is part of a broader wave of hate that is being tolerated far too easily. It is not just the Jewish community that sufers. Tis violence tears at the very fabric of our societies.”
A Campaign Against Antisemitism spokesperson noted: “Tis is what happens when our societies refuse to comprehend what the ‘Free Palestine’ movement is capable of. When people say that ‘the only solution is Intifada revolution’, this is what that looks like. Are authorities in the UK and our cultural institutions more generally learning from these horrifc events abroad? We wish the eight victims a swift recovery, and call for swift justice against those responsible.”
Soliman arrived in the US in August 2022 but his tourist visa expired in February 2023. He fled for asylum in September 2022 and was granted a work permit in March 2023 that had also expired. Last month two Israeli Embassy staf members were fatally shot outside a networking event at the Capital Jewish Museum in Washington DC. Elias Rodriguez has been charged with frst-degree murder.

Every moment “critical” for hostages
BY DAVID SAFFER
Te fate of 58 Israeli hostages held captive by Hamas for 607 days remains dangerously uncertain. It is believed 20 are alive.
Hamas rejected US envoy Steve Whitkof ’s latest proposal for a ceasefre, which Israel accepted, earlier this week.
President Isaac Herzog said Israel was ready to back the Witkof proposal yesterday when he hosted the Tefllin for Every Hostage project.
Te initiative was launched by Riki Siton and Julie Kupershtein, mother of Bar Kupershtein who is still held captive by Hamas for over 600 days. Bar was
abducted on October 7 while working as a security guard at the Nova festival near Kibbutz Re’im. On the morning of the attack, he remained on-site to provide frst aid to festivalgoers until he was taken captive.
Te initiative connects individuals who do not regularly don tefllin with tefllin wearers.
Each volunteer puts on tefllin daily for a hostage still in Hamas captivity as a show of solidarity to hostage families. Bar Tefllin stations have been set up across Israel dedicated to a diferent hostage.
Herzog continued his call for the release of all the hostages.
“Let us cry out, demand, insist, tear
open the gates of Heaven, and bring them home,” he said. “Tese are very difcult, delicate and complex moments. Te negotiations are incredibly tough. Israel has accepted the Witkof proposal. Israel is ready to go forward with the Witkof proposal. I say to all the nations of the world, tell Hamas, enough, we’re not listening until you release everyone.”
Julie, Bar’s mother, said that Israel had risen up in response to October 7.
“Out of the darkness, we are growing,” she said. “Tis event is truly Bar’s event, and of his new brothers and sisters who are still in deep darkness, yet shining light into the world from there.”
Tal, Bar’s father, recalled seeing a horrifc video of Bar bound at the wrists and ankles.
“Even in that moment, Bar was shouting his name to the terrorists and pleading with them to help the wounded Elkanah Buchbut,” he said. “Tat’s Bar, always putting others before himself.”
Herzog met released hostage Omer Wenkert after Shavuot on Tuesday night.
Wenkert was abducted from a bomb shelter in Kibbutz Re’im after escaping the Nova music festival massacre and released three months ago.
Herzog also met his parents, Niva and Shai, to discuss his experience in captivity, rehabilitation challenges and urgent need to bring the remaining hostages home to Israel.
He said: “Your presence is a message of hope, to encourage those still held captive, to cry out on their behalf, to pray and to do everything possible to bring every one of them home, as soon as possible.”
Herzog told Wenkert his parents were an inspiration.
Wenkert told Herzog: “I appeal to our people, to our leaders and to all world leaders, we must bring the hostages home as soon as possible. Tis is not a political issue, it’s not about right or left. It is our duty as a people and as a state to bring all our people back.”
Wenkert expressed his deep concern about the condition of the hostages.
“It’s been a long time since I came back, over 100 days,” he said. “I’m very worried, while people say it’s a cliché that every moment counts, it’s the truth. Every moment is critical.”
Niva Wenkert told Israel’s president: “Tey don’t have time. Not one more minute. Let’s save them. Let’s save ourselves so we can truly begin to rise again.” Shai Wenkert added: “We are part of the most important struggle in the State of Israel, bringing all the hostages home.”
According to reports, Witkof ’s plan would see the release of nine or ten living hostages, plus the remains of 18 deceased hostages. In return Israel would release 125 life-term prisoners, over 1,100 terrorists arrested after the October 7 terror attack and remains of 180 dead terrorists.

“No words of comfort” after Bruchin baby death
BY HARRY SIMONS
Te 15-day-old baby of Tze’ele Gez, killed near Bruchin in Judea and Samaria, passed away last week.
Doctors at Beilinson Hospital in Petach Tikvah delivered Ravid Chaim in an emergency C-section.
Hananel Gez named his son, who was being treated at the neonatal intensive care unit since his birth at Schneider Children’s Medical Center, before a bris to enable prayers to be recited.
Gez said that his heart had been broken twice at the funeral in an emotional eulogy.
“Ravid opened his eyes for a moment in the neonatal ICU yesterday,” he said. “He was sweet. Like an angel.”
Gez appealed for a tougher national response to terrorism.
“We are here because we are allowing those who want to murder us to live among us,” he reportedly said. “All those who are trying to murder us, start packing. You have no place here. We respect all people, but if you murder us, you must go.”
He called on Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu to take personal responsibility.
“I asked you to come to commiserate with us, to come to the ICU and look my baby in the eye. Take responsibility,” he said.
Netanyahu spoke of his “deep sadness”
on hearing the news.
“Tere are no words of comfort,” he said. “Te heroism of the pioneering settlers in Yehudah and Shomron and their dedication will defeat all our enemies.”
Shomron Regional Council head Yossi Dagan noted: “Tis is a double murder. Te world should be outraged. We demand a Zionist response, more construction in memory of Ravid and Tzeela. We will stand with the family always.”
National Security Minister Itamar BenGvir said: “I bow my head and embrace the Gez family in their difcult hour. Te death of Ravid Chaim is a painful reminder of who we are facing and the need for a complete victory over a cruel enemy that murders mothers and children as a hobby. We must not surrender or compromise with terror. We must fght the terrorists with all our might so that Jewish children are not murdered in their land.”
President Isaac Herzog added: “We all prayed so hard that little Ravid would pull through and get to grow up with his loving family. I spoke with Hananel, a true Israeli hero. It was a conversation I’ll never forget as long as I live. All of Israel is holding him close in
this heartbreaking time and praying he fnds comfort and healing together with his children and all their loved ones.”
Te Schneider Medical Center issued a statement, noting: “Ravid was hospitalised in critical condition in the neonatal intensive care unit. Te medical staf fought for his life with dedication throughout, but despite every efort, the hospital had to pronounce his death in the early hours. We extend our deepest condolences to the grieving family.”
Te IDF tracked down and eliminated the terrorist who killed Tzeela Gaz, 35 and a mental health counsellor, who was critically wounded when terrorists opened fre on her car driving to hospital.
Two terrorists in the cell, including the leader, were arrested.
Gez thanked everyone involved in the operation, but described it as “not even a drop in the ocean”.
Bruchin settlement chair Meital Ben Yosef said the community mourned the loss of Ravid Chaim.
“A vile terrorist murdered a mother and her child in an attempt to erase and destroy the people of Israel,” she said. “We will not remain silent. We will double our eforts to memorialise them and
respond to this horrifc act. We will build, expand, and deepen our presence here. We will make clear to our enemies, we are here in our ancestral homeland, we are here to stay.”
On the same day as the funeral Israel’s Security Cabinet approved 22 new settlements in Judea and Samaria.
Defense Minister Israel Katz described decision as “historic” and “once-in-a-generation”.
Te widespread announcement includes re-establishing Homesh and Sa-Nur evacuated in 2005. Te decision strengthens Israel’s strategic control of the area and settlement expansion.
“Tis historic decision to establish 22 new settlements in the West Bank strengthens our hold on this land, anchors our historical right to the Land of Israel and provides a decisive response to Palestinian terror,” Katz said. “Jewish settlement in the Judea and Samaria provides a vital defensive shield for Israel’s major population centers and we must do everything to expand and strengthen this shield.”
Finance Minister Bezalel Smotrich added: “Tis is a great day for settlement and the State of Israel. With hard work and determined leadership, we created a deep strategic shift, bringing Israel back to building, Zionism and vision.
Te government declared that Palestinian land registration will not be recognised in Israel.”

CAA Miller prosecution granted
BY HARRY SIMONS
Westminster Magistrates’ Court have granted an application from Campaign Against Antisemitism for a criminal summons against controversial academic Dr David Miller
CAA launched the private prosecution regarding three online posts by Miller published in recent months. A frst hearing is scheduled for 2nd July 2025.
CAA allege Miller used a public
communications network to send messages of a menacing character, contrary to section 127 of the Communications Act 2003.
Te frst message on November 8 2024 related to a discussion on violence in Amsterdam after a football match involving an Israeli team.
It reportedly read: ‘… If the institutions do not do their duty of de-Zionising football by the stroke of a pen, the people will take care of it through material deZionisation on the streets. Last night’s response by the brave Muslim communities of Amsterdam was necessary, but extremely measured and not at all proportional to the genocidal violence unleashed by Zionist terrorists on the Levant, on Muslims worldwide, or indeed in the provocations that preceded the measured response... As well as being unwelcoming to Zionist colonists coming from Occupied Palestine, Europe must be unviable as a base for Zionist terror by Jewish supremacists who have infltrated and are camoufaged among us.

In the second message posted on 20th March 2025, Miller reportedly stated: ‘Every genuinely anti-Zionist Jew can count on being kept safe by the movement, when the time comes. Every Zionist Jew must be held accountable and de-Zionised.’
In a third message posted on 24th
March 2025, Miller reportedly commented: ‘Protests are not enough. Listen to our brothers and sisters in Gaza. Tose who are interested in ending this genocide must begin by targeting those responsible near them: the entire Zionist movement globally must live in fear of accountability until it is dismantled and its ideology eradicated. And let’s be clear, there are Zionists everywhere. In every town and city.’

No Middle Ground: The New (Old) Reality of Jewish Identity
BY RABBI GIDEON GOLDWATER
For years, we at Aish, like many organisations working with young Jews, proudly maintained an apolitical stance. Not out of avoidance, but out of respect. Respect for the range of views in our community. Respect for the fact that a single voice doesn’t speak for all. And above all, a deep-seated desire to ensure every Jew, regardless of background or ideology, felt welcomed, supported, and heard. But over the past 20 months, that once-noble position has become increasingly untenable. We no longer live in a world where neutrality is respected. In fact, neutrality is no longer even believable.
Because in the public square of today, on campuses, on screens, and in our streets, both what you say and what you don’t say will be used against you. Te events of October 7th shocked the moral compass of the world. But what followed has perhaps been even more chilling: the speed and ease with which vast sections of society, media, and academia defaulted to suspicion of the victims. To be Jewish today is to be subjected not only to the pain of loss and
fear, but also to sufer the indignity of being blamed for it.
And so, we fnd ourselves in a corner. Te global media machine, once committed, in theory, to truth, has surrendered itself to a narrative constructed not of facts, but of theatre. Hamas, in its last, desperate throes, knows it cannot win militarily. So, it turns to illusion, to manipulation, to lies so brazen they would almost be laughable, if they weren’t so dangerous.
Yet when we call it out, we are accused of blind loyalty, of warmongering, of being cheerleaders for genocide. We are labelled extremists by those who once legitimised, justifed, or conveniently ignored the extremism of October 7th. Te irony is stark. Te hypocrisy, painful. And still - there is no middle ground. But perhaps there never was.
Jews have always been accused, and hated, for everything and its opposite. We are condemned for being too insular and too infuential. Too rich and too poor. Too powerful and too vulnerable. Israel is accused of starving Gaza, while simultaneously being condemned when it facilitates humanitarian aid, only to watch that aid be stolen by the very terrorists the world defends. When Israel creates mechanisms to avoid aid theft, it is accused of being cruel and calculating. It is blamed for civilian deaths, and
when it points to Hamas’s own boasts of hiding behind children and fring from hospitals, it is accused of lying, manipulating, fabricating. Te slander cannot be falsifed, and it cannot be argued against. Because it was never about logic. It never is.
Tis moment, uncomfortable as it is, forces us to face a deeper truth: Jewish identity has always lived in this tension. From Avraham’s lonely stand against a world of idolatry, to Esther’s courage in the palace, to Jewish students today defending their existence on campus; you are either for or against. Te Torah doesn’t ofer neutral ground. Te Jewish story is not one of polite ambiguity.
To be Jewish is to carry a message. One that is moral, eternal, often inconvenient. It’s to live with clarity when others prefer confusion. It’s to be counted, even when you’d rather hide.
Young Jews today are being asked, and in many cases forced to choose. And that choice isn’t political. It’s existential. It’s not about parties or policies. It’s about standing up and saying: I am part of this people. Teir story is mine. Teir pain is mine. Teir future is mine. It is these words and this message that Ruth declared her desire to become a part of Jewish destiny, that ultimately sowed the seeds for the King David and then Moshiach.
It’s time we stopped apologising for that. Te Jewish voice, rooted in moral clarity and human dignity, is not a side in a debate, it’s a calling. Maybe it’s time to get of the “neutrality” bench and call out lies and slander. Shame on the mainstream media for accepting without question the stories they are being fed. We must look for authenticity, honesty and respect for human dignity. Yes, we will upset some. Yes, we will be misunderstood. But the alternative is worse: silence, shame, and slow erasure. We cannot aford to become irrelevant. Tis is not just about Gaza, or TikTok, or what happens in a student union. It’s about reclaiming the pride and courage to be part of something ancient, righteous, and good, even when it’s hard. Especially when it’s hard.

Building Momentum: Two Programmes Shaping the Next Chapter of Jewish Learning
As the academic year draws to a close, Aish UK continues to push forward with purpose, ofering students not just meaningful Jewish experiences, but a sense of rhythm and growth in their Jewish journey. Tis term, two standout educational programmes have made their mark: the launch of Momentum, a weekly learning initiative, and an immersive Shavuot - From Dusk till Dawn event that combined tradition with personal expression.
MOMENTUM:
CARRYING THE GOLD TRACK FORWARD
Momentum is not just a name; it’s the natural next step for many students who have been part of our Gold Track programme over the past two terms. Having built a strong and consistent Monday night crowd with university students in London, Aish is now looking to deepen that experience. Momentum builds on the habit that’s already been formed: turning up, enjoying dinner with friends, and engaging meaningfully with their Jewish identity. Te evening begins with a chance to
unwind and connect, a warm dinner and some downtime with familiar faces. But then we go deeper. Participants split into smaller groups to explore more advanced and challenging topics within Jewish thought, history, and personal relevance. Tis isn’t about passive listening, it’s about active engagement, discussion, and discovery. Each week adds another layer, another piece to the puzzle of identity that many students are enthusiastically piecing together.
By tapping into an already-committed community, Momentum ensures that Monday nights don’t just continue, they evolve. Te aim is simple: to create a space where students are not only welcomed, but where they grow; intellectually, spiritually, and communally.
SHAVUOT: TRADITION MEETS STUDENT VOICE
Hot on the heels of Momentum’s launch came one of the most beloved nights in the Jewish calendar: Shavuot. Known for its tradition of all-night learning to commemorate the giving of the Torah, Aish UK hosted a special Shavuot
programme that brought students together for a night of festive food, inspiration, and learning, both given and received.
Te evening began with a celebratory dinner to set the tone, followed by a keynote session designed to ground us in the significance of the night. From there, the learning went late into the night, with breakout sessions, group discussions, and even student-led sessions that allowed participants to share their own insights and passions.
What made this Shavuot unique wasn’t just the quality of the content, but the co-creation. Students stepped up to help shape the night and bring their own voices into the conversation. In many ways, that’s the essence of what Shavuot commemorates: not just receiving Torah,
but actively making it our own.

Leter in the Scroll
BY RABBI YONASAN ROODYN
As the festival of Shavuot recedes, its message lingers, perhaps more relevant and urgent than ever. Shavuot marks that moment in our collective memory when, standing at the foot of Mount Sinai, we became a people bound not just by history and fate, but by the Torah. Each year, as we receive the Torah anew, we are reminded that this was not just an event experienced by our ancestors, but a covenant that includes every Jew, for all time.
According to the Zohar Chadash, there are 600,000 letters in a Sefer Torah, corresponding to the 600,000 souls of the twelve tribes of the Jewish people, the number counted in the Torah. Te Megaleh Amukot (Va’etchanan 186:1) also writes that the soul of every Jew has its origins in one of the 600,000 letters of the Torah. Te name “Yisrael” is incredibly an acronym for the words: Yesh Shishim Ribo Otiyot LaTorah “there are sixty myriad (600,000) letters in the Torah”. It is important to bear in mind that this is a Kabblalistic conceptual number rather than a mathematical one, a discussion of which is beyond the scope of this column.
Every Jew is a letter in the Sefer Torah.
On a simple level, this reminds us of the care with which a Torah scroll must be written, each letter formed meticulously, each one essential. If even a single letter is missing or broken, the entire Torah is rendered invalid, pasul. But the teaching goes much deeper. It is a metaphor for the way we see ourselves, and each other, within the Jewish people.

Tis image takes on special meaning after Shavuot. We stood together at Sinai—men, women, and children, the
congregation of Jacob. Tat word kehillah, community, speaks volumes. Torah is not the inheritance of the elite, but of every Jew, in every generation.

When a Sefer Torah is written, the scribe checks each letter again and again. Te process is painstaking, but the reason is clear: without every letter, the story cannot be told. Likewise, in our communities and in the wider Jewish world, we are called upon to notice those who might otherwise be “missing” the lonely, the forgotten, the overlooked and those who feel distant, disenfranchised and may not even identify as being Jewish. Te Torah’s wholeness depends on the wholeness of our people. Tis idea is both humbling and empowering. It means that no one is superfuous; each of us has a place and a purpose. It also means we are responsible for each other. To honour the Torah is to honour every Jew— to look for the missing letters, to lift up those who feel left out, and to recognise the unique contribution that each person brings.
As we emerge from Shavuot, let us carry this lesson with us. Let us strive to see every Jew as a vital letter in the great scroll of our people, cherished, needed, and never to be forgotten.

ASK THE RABBI
SPEAK OUT AGAINST ISRAEL’S ‘GENOCIDE’
Dear Rabbi
I’m going to get straight to the point: Why is Israel committing a genocide? Some of Anglo-Jewry leadership have recognised this as well. As a prominent leader with a respected voice, I’d like to hear you acknowledge this and criticise it publicly.
Joanne (A proud liberal Jew)
Dear Joanne
Being liberal is not something to be proud of (though being Jewish certainly is). So, Israel is committing genocide? Let us consider the lunacy of that statement:
1- If there was an actual genocide in Gaza, Hamas would return the hostages and surrender. Ten the “Genocide” would end.
2- Which leads us to the next point. Has there ever been a genocide in history that the victim could end the second they wanted to? Te answer is no. If they can end the fghting by simply returning our
people and they choose not to, then it’s not genocide.
3- If Israel wanted to commit genocide, why not just bomb from the air and fatten Gaza? Why send in foot soldiers and risk their lives?
4- If Israel wanted to kill all Gazans, which is what genocide would mean in this context, why would Israel drop pamphlets to let civilians know where they’ll be attacking and when?
5- If Israel wanted to commit genocide, why would it send millions of tons of aid into Gaza?
6- Even if you believe Hamas’ ridiculously infated numbers, in fact, double them, how are there not millions dead, or at least a million given Israel’s military superiority, if Israel wanted to commit genocide?
7- If Israel wanted to commit genocide, why use precision weapons and not just bomb the whole place?
8- If Israel wanted to commit genocide, why would it have agreed to multiple deals to end the fghting, all of which were rejected by the “victim” of the genocide, Hamas?
9- If Israel wanted to commit genocide,
why would it treat Gazans in its own hospitals, including Sinwar himself whose life Israel saved when he had a brain tumor.
10- If Israel wanted to commit genocide (and ethnic cleansing. Don’t forget that insanity.) how is it that the population of Gaza has grown over the past 70 years by hundreds of percentages?
Bonus point: If there was a genocide in Gaza, why won’t Hamas let civilians hide in the miles and miles of tunnels they created? Why not give them the tons and tons of aid stored in warehouses in Gaza? Why prevent them from leaving?
Listen, I can go on, but here’s the thing. At this point, if you still believe this insane lie, I’m pretty sure you’re not too concerned with the truth.
So why even write this? So that when the time comes to hold you accountable for supporting murder, rape, pedophilia, and kidnapping, you won’t be able to say I didn’t know.
If you are even remotely concerned with the truth, instead of debating facts, which also, by the way, prove there is no genocide, how about 3rd grade logic?
It is simply illogical to claim that Israel is committing genocide in Gaza for all the

WHAT3WORDS/// A GOOD JEW
BY RABBI NAFTALI SCHIFF
A few years ago, I was studying with a young couple before their marriage. As part of our conversation, we spoke about the meaning of growth of both individual and the couple within the context of the relationship. I explained that the wedding day isn’t the pinnacle of the journey it’s, rather an expression of commitment and the starting point. A marriage, like any meaningful part of life, is only as deep as its willingness to grow. “Marriage is the commitment to build together,” I said. “To aspire, to evolve- individually and as a couple.”
At a certain point, I paused and looked at them, just to check that we were on the same page.
Te groom nodded enthusiastically. “Yes, absolutely, Rabbi. We’re starting with a three-bedroom semi-detached, and at moment I drive the 3 Series BMW. Te aim is to grow together- 5 Series, then 7 Series- a detached house with a garden and so forth! ”
He smiled proudly.
I smiled too. But that wasn’t what I meant.
I wasn’t talking about square footage or car upgrades. I was talking about emotional depth. About spiritual partnership. About growing in kindness, in knowledge, in patience, in generosity, in resilience, in shared dreams and inner strength.
I was talking about the kind of growth that can’t be bought or parked in a driveway.
But in fairness to him, we live in a world that often confuses progress with possessions. Tat assumes that growth means getting more rather than becoming more. And this confusion bleeds into our spiritual life as well.
Which brings me to the question I want to ask this week, one that sounds simple, but really isn’t:
What does it mean to be a good Jew?
We all think we know. We hear it often. “She’s such a good Jew.” “I’m not religious, but I try to be a good Jew.” “Tat school produces good Jews.” But what does that actually mean?
Is it someone who keeps mitzvot meticulously? Who donates to tzedakah? Someone with belief? With pride? With kindness?
All of those matter deeply. But I want to propose something even more foundational:
I think that a good Jew is a growing Jew. Because the moment you say “I’ve made it,” you’ve missed it.
Te moment you say, “Tis is what I am,” you’ve cut of what you could become. To arrest grow is to be walking dead.
We are a people who are not defned by having arrived, but by always being on the way. Even the word for Jewish law is halacha- from the word “to walk.” Judaism isn’t a fortress to sit in. It’s a path to move along.
When G-d frst addresses the frst Jew, Avraham, He doesn’t say believe, or build, or belong. He says ךל ךל—“Go for yourself” (Bereishit 12:1). Take a step. Begin the journey. Keep going. It is deeply embedded in our spiritual DNA that movement equals life.
We sing וכל הננרנ “Come, let us go and sing” , to begin Shabbat. We speak of Jacob’s ladder with angels ascending and descending, reminding us there’s no standing still. If you’re not climbing, you’re slipping.
We are warned, again and again, against spiritual complacency. Against the danger of thinking, “Tis is just who I am.” הככ ינא הז Te Torah calls on us to stretch beyond that. To aspire. To believe that every day contains the possibility of becoming more.
serenity, but struggle. Not about staying, but seeking.
And the name of our holiest place , Zion , shares its root with metzuyan, meaning distinguished, excellent. Mediocrity was never meant to be our brand.
Aspiration is not optional in Judaism. It’s the essence of it.
My father-in-law, used to say, “Aim for the stars- you might land on the moon.” Which perhaps is a modern echo of King David’s words: והאלמאו ךיפ בחרה “Open your mouth wide, and I will fll it” (Tehillim 81:11). G-d doesn’t tell us to dream small. He tells us to make space for greatness- and He will meet us there.
In our Rosh Hashanah liturgy, during Zichronot, we recall the words of the prophet
Jeremiah:
calls us to walk.
In truth, this isn’t just about being a good Jew- it’s about being a good human being.
Growth is what we’re made for. Our bodies grow. Our minds expand. Our souls are crying out to be stretched. Te Mishnah in Avot teaches: “Who is wise? One who learns from everyone.” Eizehu chacham? Halomed mikol adam. A wise person is someone who knows they’re still a student. Always learning. Always growing.
Rav Kook took it even further. He taught that one of the signs of holiness is discomfort with stagnation. A tzaddik isn’t someone who feels holy- it’s someone who feels restless. Who’s always trying to bring the light into a new corner of the world- or a new corner of themselves.
Tat’s why at Jewish Futures, aspiration is not just a word on the wall- it’s one of our ten core values. We don’t just want to teach facts or rituals or history. We want to ignite dreams. We want every young Jew to see Judaism not as a heritage to be preserved but as a future to be created. Not as a burden, but as a calling.
A calling to grow.
- I remember the kindness of your youth, the love of your courtship , how you followed Me into the wilderness, into an unsown land” (Yirmiyahu 2:2). What moves G-d is not our perfection, but our willingness to walk. To move forward, even without guarantees. To go after Him, even into the unknown.
Tat’s what He values most. Te movement. Te readiness. Te striving.
To deepen their thinking. To open their hearts. To expand their sense of responsibility. To dare more boldly. To learn Torah not only for exams, but for life. To perform mitzvot not just to conform, but to transform.
Because a good Jew is a growing Jew. Not one who’s made it. But one who refuses to stop trying.
So wherever you are in your Jewish journey, whether you’re just starting, or decades down the road, don’t ask yourself, “Am I good?” Ask, “Am I growing?” And if the answer is yes, even just a little, then that, truly, is the mark of a good Jew.
Shabbat Shalom
Te verse says: וכלת יתוקוחב םא—“If you will walk in My statutes” (Vayikra 26:3). Not if you keep them, or sit with them- but if you walk with them. Because it’s about motion. Te Jew is meant to be a verb, not a noun.
Even our collective identity refects this. “Yisrael”the name given to Yaakov after his epic struggle- means “one who wrestles, who strives.” Our name is not about
Te same spirit is captured in the unforgettable declaration at Sinai: השענ עמשנו—“We will do and we will hear.” We didn’t wait for the syllabus. We signed up for the growth.
So if there’s one thing that defnes a “good Jew,” it’s this: never settling.
Never nursing a self-satisfed sense of “I’ve made it.” Never saying “Tis is just who I am.” Because the minute you do, you’ve planted yourself, and the Torah

THE ULTIMATE BLESSING!
BY RABBI JONATHAN TAWIL
Shabbat arrives and the family gathers round the table. Te children approach their father for a blessing, and out of his Holy mouth emanates the famous words Yevarechacha Hashem Veyishmeracha –May Hashem Bless you and Guard you.
Tis was the daily priestly blessing, given by the Kohanim in the Bet Hamikdash. But it seems a bit superfuous. Why not just say may Hashem Bless us? What are we specifcally asking for?
Tere are of course many beautiful interpretations and understanding to this deep blessing, but we shall focus on one.
Tere once was a couple who had been married for many years ... happily married. Tey had met in their teens, it was love at frst sight. Teir families got on well, their friends approved ... they married young.
After bringing up the kids, they decided to take a cruise before planning a long and happy retirement. Tey could aford a fveday short trip around the Mediterranean. Te cruise gave them a day wandering around the gift shops of the Greek island of Santorini.
In the back of a dark, almost deserted store, the wife found a dusty old lamp. She gave it a quick polish, to see what it could look like ... and out popped our friendly neighborhood genie.
creatures, and we must cherish this gift.
It is for this reason that when it comes to the priestly blessing (Birkat Kohanim), every word counts.
Te Kohanim bless the people daily stating Yevarechecha Hashem Veyishmerecha – May Hashem Bless you and guard you. Rashi states that every word is important. Te Kohen is not merely giving a blessing that we should be blessed with wealth, rather the Kohen is going a step further, blessing us that this newly found wealth should last. It should stay with us –
Hashem should guard us from losing it.
Our Sages relate a story of Rav Yosi Ben Kisma, who was very wealthy.
Once some people came and kidnapped his two sons, taking them captive to Rome. When Rav Yosi heard the news, he was devastated.
He understood the kidnappers wanted a ransom and immediately took with him a big sum of money heading to Rome.
He called back the rabbi, and told him he would accept the 100 gold coins.
Rav Yosi, glanced towards him, and said, that ofer was an old one, now that he had been put through trouble of having to come back there was a new ofer, “I will give you 80 gold coins.”
“What, are you mad, do you ever want to see your two sons? Get out of here, and bring me 100 coins.”
Yet sure enough as soon as Rav Yosi left the building, the captors pains came stronger. He realized it must be connected and recalled R Yosi.
“Ok give me 80.”
“I will give you 50.”
“I usually give just one wish”, said the genie, “but I can see that you two are a couple still in love after all these years; you may each have a wish.”
“Oooh!” said the wife, “I’d like to be on a proper ocean cruise ... somewhere in the South Pacifc”.
And in an instant, she was gone, wafted of to her dream ... maybe she meant to include her husband, but these wishes tend to be taken literally.
“And you, sir?”, asked the genie. Conscious that he was alone, and the world was at his fngertips, the husband thought long and hard ...
“I’d like a wife thirty years younger than me”, he eventually decided.
And in an instant, he aged thirty years, and the genie disappeared.
Words are powerful. Te power of speech singles man out from all the other
Once he got there and found the leader of the kidnappers, he entered his home and put 100 gold dinar coins on the table.
“Here is 100 gold coins for my two sons, now please return them to me”.
Te captor looked on and laughed. “If you think you are going to gain there release with that, think again. Now get out of here and bring back much much more money.”
Rav Yosi, left distraught. He exited the building, and began to pour out his heart in prayer to Hashem.
Hashem in His ultimate mercy, harkened to the prayer of the Tsadik and sent His Ministering angel Michael, to cause pain to the captor.
Suddenly the captor began to have severe stomach pains. He coped with these for a while, but then couldn’t take it any more. His advisors, said to him, maybe it was due to that holy rabbi, and maybe he should after all accept the rabbis ofer.
“You have a cheek, get out.”
R Yosi left, and again the pains began to become unbearable. Call him back.
“Ok give me 50.”
“50? You have caused me so much trouble, sending me backwards and forwards, now I will take them for free?”
Retorted Rav Yosi.
Te kidnapper was
amazed. “For free? What, do you think I have gone through all this trouble to kidnap your children so that I return them for free. Get Out!”
However as soon as he left, the captor stomach was in such pain he thought he would die. Bring him back.
“Ok take your children, just get out.”
“Mmm I think not.” Answered R Yosi. I think you owe me some money. “Pay me and then we will leave.”
And so it was, not only did R Yosi receive back his two sons, but he was also paid! Tis is the meaning of the Birkat Kohanim.
Yevarechecha Hashem Veyishmerecha – may Hashem bless you with money and may He guard it with you. How will He protect your wealth - Yaer Hashem Panav Elecha VeyChuneka – He will shine His Face on you (send his Ministering Angel Michael) and fnd favour in you. Yisa Hashem Panav Elecha Veyasem Lecha Shalom – He will ensure that not only do you guard your wealth, but you will add to it and be at peace.
Tis is the blessing our Kohanim give us, this is he blessing we give our children every Shabbat at the dinner table. May Hashem always send us His blessings
Amen.
Shabbat Shalom

Gershon, Kehos and Merari, each has their own stuff to move and Ahron’s son Isamer is the man in charge. We speak about that and then how the Leviim have sooo much more to do.
Not pure? You can’t be in the three camps (Klal Yisrael, Leviim and the Mishkan) you had to go outside till you were pure again. This is a holy people.
Stole something? You can’t replace it, you must return it. Sold it to the Chinese mafia? Have fun but get it back. He sold it to the Russians and now suspiciously no one knows what you’re talking about and oops, this thing has too many bullet holes in it, and that was one bullet too many, it’s dust?
Pay for it with a 20% interest. If a married lady’s husband thinks she has done some naughty stuff, she is given a chance to admit, if not she has to drink a special mix of water from the kiyor and earth form the mizbeach and verses of Hashem’s name. If she’s guilty she’ll explode, if not she will have many healthy children after that.
A person can take on a special promise to stay away from all wine, vinegar, grape juice and grape products.

a good time. He spends a month thinking ony holy thoughts and not caring about this world. It’s a very special thing but at the end he brings a few korbonot. One is a sin offering,because whilst it’s special to be a Nazir, G-d wants us to live in this world with all that that means and still be holy. He has his own malachim, angels.
If you went to shul on Shavuot, you heard the priestly blessing, birchas kohanim. This is where it comes from. Hashem reveals the words that Aharon and his sons should use to bless Bnei Yisroel:
Last week’s Answer: Which weekly Parasha is never read (outside of Israel) on Shabbat afternoon?
Parshat Bereshit. Outside Israel, Simchat Torah always falls on a

A Laugh for the table
A Rabbi and his wife were cleaning up the house. The Rabbi came across a box he didn’t recognize. His wife told him to leave it alone, it was personal.
One day she was out and his curiosity got the best of him. He opened the box, and inside he found three eggs and £2000. When his wife came home, he admitted that he opened the box, and he asked her to explain the contents to him. She told him that every time he had a bad sermon, she would put an egg in the box... He interrupted, “In 20 years, only three bad sermons? That’s not bad.”
His wife continued... “and every time I got a dozen eggs, I would sell them for £1.”

A lot of people are feeling despair right now.
It’s not just that antisemitism is at record levels. It’s that, as bad as the specific incidents are, so is the insidious feeling that you can’t escape it. It’s in classrooms and on campuses, it’s in hospitals and in theatres, it’s on the street furniture and on the television, and it’s even at work and at friends’ dinner tables.
So many of you love what we do at Campaign Against Antisemitism and believe it’s the right approach. We know because you’ve told us. We know because you’ve turned to us.
We also know that you want more of it – and faster. We particularly want and need to be bringing more private prosecutions.
But for that we need your help.
If the story of the British Jewish community is that everyone agreed on what needed to be done, but we didn’t come together to fund it, that would be a tragedy.
