This week, Jews worldwide wear costumes to celebrate the #Jewish festival of #Purim. But, as JPR Executive Director Dr
Jinathan Boyd writes in his op-ed for The @jewishnews.bsky.social, many #Jews feel that they have to wear masks and hide their identity all year long.

#Purim is when Jews dress up in costumes to celebrate their freedom. So my #OverTheHump #Wednesday #Playlist this week is a double header of artists disguising as another.

Freedom of speech does not include supporting terrorism, nor does it mean a Uni should invite someone who blames the Western discourse for demonising Hamas after the 'events' of October 7 ('events'? you mean when Hamas murdered and kidnapped 100s of citizens while live streaming their atrocities?).

הבעייה האמיתי בסיפור הזה היא מי הישראלים שעוזבים להולנד.

רמז: הולנד מדינה ליברלית והקהילה היהודית בה לא חרדית, והמהגרים מישראל אליה צעירים מהממוצע בקהילה ההולנדית.
