🧵 1/ I went to the Kristallnacht memorial tonight at Emek Sholom in Richmond. It’s the oldest Holocaust memorial in North America — survivors built it in 1955 after they made Virginia their home.
This one hit different. Let me tell you why.

Abigail Spanberger just shattered Virginia’s highest glass ceiling. Former CIA officer turned public servant. Flipped a red district. Now Governor-elect.
The Commonwealth said: send us someone who gets shit done.

Omer Neutra is home.
For 426 days, his parents lived between hope and heartbreak — not knowing if he was alive. For many more, they kept fighting to bring him home.
After 758 days, Omer has been returned to the land he loved and served.
May his memory be a blessing. 🕯️

Hamas hands over purported remains of 3 hostages; one confirmed to be Omer Neutra
If confirmed, number of slain hostages still in Strip would drop to 8; Netanyahu vows to 'eliminate' last Hamas fighters in IDF-controlled parts of Gaza

John Reid could watch Ghazala Hashmi rescue kittens from a burning building and still call it “radical.” There’s nothing she could do that wouldn’t offend a man this fragile.
VA GOP Lt. Gov nominee John Reid: "I don’t like to be mean. But...the socialists & the radical Islamists who are on the march in America are behind Zohran Mamdani in NY & they’re behind @senatorhashmi.bsky.social in VA. We cannot let that be successful in this state!” bluevirginia.us/2025/11/vide...

While Virginians worry about groceries, bills, and childcare, Glenn Youngkin’s busy attacking a sitting senator for being Muslim. He keeps picking fights while Virginians just want solutions. On Tuesday, we’ll remind him — Virginians decide who belongs here.
As one sharp VA politico said this morning, the VA GOP's closing argument is basically this: "Send the Black guy to jail, the blonde woman back to her home, the Muslim woman out of the state" bluevirginia.us/2025/11/vide...

Tonight was everything.
@noatishby.bsky.social came to Richmond, and the turnout was incredible.
The conversation was powerful. The connection was real. And the room was packed with people who care deeply about what comes next.
Thank you to Jewish Federation of Richmond for making it happen.

🧵 1/ I need to talk about what happened at Langley HS and Thomas Jefferson HS last week. Student groups at both schools posted videos simulating kidnappings as “recruitment humor.” This isn’t funny. It’s cruel. And we need to talk about why. @jcrcgw.bsky.social

I just finished Eli Sharabi’s “Hostage” and I can’t stop thinking about it. A husband and father, dragged from his home. His family killed. 491 days starving in tunnels. Yet he became a protector to younger captives, finding light in total darkness. Read this book. Please.

No one forgot Noa Argamani—screaming, reaching for Avinatan as Hamas dragged her away on that motorcycle.
That video stayed burned in our minds.
Today, they’re together again.
Holding each other. Breathing again.
Love survived 738 days of hell. ❤️🩹

You can’t fake joy like this.
After more than 700 days in Hamas captivity, Omri Miran is finally home, playing on the floor with his daughters, Roni and Alma.
Evil took years from them. Love gave them this moment back.

@markwarner.bsky.social didn’t hedge or hesitate—just humanity, relief, and hope.
After 738 days, every living hostage is home.
Every leader should be able to say that.

After more than 700 days of anguish, every living hostage has finally been freed by Hamas. Their return home is a moment of relief and renewed hope. May this be the start of healing for families and a step toward lasting peace in the region.

I still remember that morning, October 7. Refreshing my phone. Crying. Praying for names I didn’t even know.
Today I watched those same families hold each other again. It’s the kind of good news that makes you believe again.
From that day to this one—heartbreak to hope. 💙

Confronted with facts, Virginia Del. Sam Rasoul didn’t correct himself. He said “Paid by Israel.”
It’s a textbook case of twisting evidence to keep the same villain. Hard to believe this is the person setting standards for truth in Virginia classrooms.

1/ There’s finally a ceasefire.
Hostages are being released.
People are taking their first real breath in years.
And Virginia Del. Sam Rasoul decides this is the moment to post a tribute to a Hamas influencer… and blame his death on “Zionism.” Unreal.

After two years, there’s finally a deal to bring the remaining hostages home. For every family, the silence finally breaks. For the first time in two years, there’s space to breathe, for every family touched by this, to begin healing. 🎗️

My heart is with @candimundonking.bsky.social and her entire family. Losing Candis at just 15 is devastating beyond words. I believe people live on through the love they inspired and the hearts they touched. May you find strength in community and in Candis’s beautiful memory. 💔

Yom Kippur begins tonight. We fast not as punishment, but as clarity—stripping away everything until only truth remains. This year’s truth: when cruelty is normalized, kindness is defiance. May we be defiant. G’mar chatimah tova.

The shofar calls us to wake up, bread in water calls us to let go. For thousands of years, Jews have chosen renewal in the darkest times. With antisemitism rising, choosing to celebrate feels like victory. Hope is a choice. We’re choosing it. L’shanah tovah.

Shanah Tovah. This year, the sweetness feels harder to reach. But still—we gather, we sing, we hope. Being Jewish has never been easy. But it’s always been brave. Here’s to another year of holding fast to who we are. Together. Always.
