Brighter days are coming! Daylight Saving Time starts at 2AM —it’s the perfect time to change your smoke & carbon monoxide alarm batteries. CO is the invisible killer, claiming too many lives each year. 60% of fire deaths occur in homes without a working smoke alarm. Save lives!

The far-right AfD lost and won’t be part of Friedrich Merz’s coalition government. Turns out, when a party flirts with Nazi nostalgia, dreams of deporting citizens, and downplays Nazi crimes, voters remember how that worked out last time—Germans rejected the idea of ‘going back’

This is what a real Hanukkah latke should be:
grated, always thin and crispy

fluffy Cakey, shredded latkes are basically a sphere of Shabbos potato kugel which is fine but not a latke!

Happy Hanukkah! Hanukkah, Chanukah, Hanukah, Chanuka, Chanukkah, Hanuka, Chanuca, Hanukka, Channukah, and Chanukkah. Even the Oxford English Dictionary lists 24 variant spellings—after 2,200 years, can we please settle on one universal spelling? 😀 Happy holidays, everyone!

NY AG Tish James on rise in antisemitism:

“As a Black woman, I understand that rage. I understand hate.

“And that's why it's important that we remain together, that we stand by Israel, that we stand up against antisemitism.”
