lyricstosongai - Local "Fiddler" Production Pure Delight

lyricstosongai — Tue, 20 Jan 2026 11:36:38 +0000

It’s wonderful to hear about such a successful local production, especially with Rabbi Soloway stepping into the role of Tevye! That casting sounds inspired. I always find it fascinating how local community productions bring such unique energy to classic shows like *Fiddler*. Did the review mention any standout moments from the supporting cast?

Sarah Rothenberg - Opinion: Three Ways to Slant the News Against Israel

Sarah Rothenberg — Mon, 12 Jan 2026 20:08:46 +0000

A January 9 article also reported on counter-protesters at a protest outside a synagogue in Queens. The pro-Israel demonstrators chanted “death to Palestine,” “we love ICE” and expletive-laced slogans about Mr. Mamdani. They also threatened to rape or kill individual people in and around the crowd of protesters, including a journalist, and waved flags in support of President Trump and of the far-right Orthodox Kach movement, which was banned from participating in Israeli elections in the 1980s for inciting racism.

Adam Lehman - Opinion: I'm A Jew, And I'm Scared

One thing that might help is if CU Boulder could teach you the definition of genocide. And how could Israel be the only one accused of it, when we know there are actual genocides currently? But we don’t seem to care about innocents in Africa. Or in a single Arab or Muslim country. And certainly not in China. What will make you feel better are facts. And then you won’t feel separate from the community. Truth is power. You need some more.

What a terrible essay.. You obviously hate G-d, authentic Judaism, and your Jewish identity must bother you. The re-settlers and the re-settlements are the first line of defense protecting all of Israel within the green line. Nathalie is a MACCABEE! When Moshiach comes and brings the rest of the exiles home.. Please stay in America Mr. Kass.. Israel is not meant for marshmallows.

Ed Kass has courage to speak out and present this historical perspective so contrary to popular opinion. Thank you for printing it.

Rabbi Pesach Scheiner - Opinion: When Are We Going to Say Atzor! Stop! Enough!

Rabbi Pesach Scheiner — Fri, 15 Aug 2025 18:15:41 +0000

I am a Rabbi and I would like to speak up in the defense of Israel. Firstly, many of the things our media tells us about what Israel is doing are one sided and half truths. But more importantly, I don’t see in your op-ed any solution of how Israel should protect itself from Hamas and its ilk who are clearly set out to kill as many Jews as possible.

Secondly, the view that is against Israel of taking a harsh response to terrorism, is what led to October 7. Fighting Hamas in Gaza is a necessary but painful war for Israel.

Whatever we build to protect ourselves from Hamas, they will either go over it or under it to kill Israelis if we don’t destroy the governing power in Gaza.

With blessings and prayers for a real peace!

Rabbi Pesach Scheiner

This is the first famine in history where only children are starving, next to overweight adults.

Sooo sorry. This shouldn’t be. We cannot allow things like this to happen. We can’t. What can we do that would make a difference? Please tell us. It’s not enough to just pray, though that is powerful.

My deepest sympathy to Lou, their sons and families. My heart goes out to all that know this extraordinary couple. They have always been kind to those who know them and I am lucky to count myself in that number.
While Karen was a tragic result of hatred, I hope that people continue to spread love in this crazy world. I pray that Love rises and wins.

I am so sorry. Such a tragedy. We need to rise up and speak out against the Jew hatred that is spreading across the country and world. For Karen Diamond we were too late.

The 6 point policy plan is all security and law enforcement. Fine. But as my friend, mentor and champion for justice for Jews Bill Cohen once asked, "how come we're always on defense?"Why is there no effort to educate the general public in non-Jewish spaces about What is Zionism? What is Israel? What is fair critique of Israel and what is antisemitic? Why, locally, have we ceded the ground of "The History of Zionism" to a program presented by DSA-Boulder in the local mosque? In the end, oftentimes the best defense is a good offense.

But do you even believe the things you write? Yours is pure Zionist propaganda, the real Jews are against the genocide in Gaza. Wake up. Hello from Italy.

Mario - Letter: Taishya Adams' Anti-Israel Bias

Mario — Wed, 4 Jun 2025 23:11:32 +0000

Tayisha Adams must be removed from the service as a pi license servant of Colorado, she poses a danger to all citizens with her anti American, anti Semitic, and anti Zionist stance.. anyone who equates anti zionism as okay is anti Semitic but they like to pretend there is a difference.. anyone who knows anything about Israel and jews know that zionism goes hand in hand.. you can't hate one and not the other!! Most of those who condemn zionism donr even know what it means in obvious videos when asked what it means they never really know.. it means Jews should be allowed self determination and a safe home in their homeland!! That is all!! I am a proud Zionist and adams wants me dead!! That's what I read in her messages!!
