Post 1/5 Last day of #JewishAmericanHeritageMonth & right in the heart of #America250! 🇺🇸✡️ Jews have always been part of America — not “arriving later,” but building it from the very beginning. Developing. Contributing. Innovating. We are us. Here’s just a taste of that shared story:

Schrödinger’s MoU. Good way to put it. All possibilities exist until it is unsealed.

Thank you Sen Graham.

Seems to me that a “Thank you Israel for the birthday gift of eliminating the trash who killed Americans” would have been the appropriate comment from President Trump. I’ll say it. Thanks Bibi - we appreciate the help keeping the hood clean.

a Nessie curve. What happens to the stock market when Trump calls off strikes in Iran cause its Let’s Make A Deal Time

There is something Trump will never understand about the people of Iran. They are not their government. They have never been their government. When the mullahs chant death to America in their mosques, the young woman in Tehran is on her rooftop watching the same stars her grandmother watched before the revolution came and renamed everything. When the regime parades missiles through the streets, the engineer in Isfahan is teaching his daughter calculus in a language that gave the world algebra. When the Supreme Leader issues a fatwa, the poet in Shiraz is copying Hafez by hand because some things must be preserved in the body, not just on a screen. They have been waiting. Not with hatred. With exhaustion. Forty-five years of waiting for the world to see the difference between a people and their prison. And then came the words. Not bombs. Words. I decide what Israel does. Netanyahu won't go to prison because of me. We'll make a deal. A great deal. The best deal. And something died in the chest of every Iranian who had been waiting. Because they know what a deal with their oppressors looks like. They have lived inside one for four and a half decades. We know it too. We are a people who have been promised and abandoned by every empire that ever thought we were useful. Babylon made promises. Rome made promises. Britain made the Balfour Declaration and then locked the gates of Palestine while our people burned in Europe. We know what it sounds like when a powerful man uses the language of salvation to mean the language of advantage. We recognize it. We hear it now. Every time Trump says Netanyahu like a name he owns, every time he says I decided like a man adjusting a chess piece, we feel the cold air of something familiar. Not partnership. Not covenant. Transaction. And transactions expire when they stop being profitable. The Iranian people do not want a transaction. They want what we wanted for two thousand years — to live in their land on their own terms without asking permission from a man in a palace who does not know their names. They have Nowruz. They have Cyrus, who freed us when no one else would. They have Esther's story woven into our calendar — a Persian king, a Jewish queen, and a people saved inside an empire that could have destroyed them. We do not forget that. We have never forgotten that. There is an Iran that existed before the revolution and it exists still — in the kitchen, in the poetry, in the mathematics, in the daughter learning calculus, in the son who memorizes Hafez the way our sons memorize Tehillim. That Iran deserves to be free. Not free as a byproduct of a negotiation. Not free because it became useful to a man running for reelection. Free because forty-five years is long enough. Free because a civilization that old does not exist to be a bargaining chip in someone else's press conference. And every word Trump speaks that treats Israel like a franchise he manages and Iran like a problem he can solve over a phone call is a word that pushes that freedom one more day into the distance. We are watching. Not with despair. With the particular clarity of a people who have seen this before. Who have watched empires perform generosity and then calculate the bill. Who have learned to count not on the powerful but on the covenant, not on the deal-maker but on what was promised before deal-makers existed. A free Iran is not Trump's to give. It belongs to the woman on the rooftop. To the engineer and his daughter. To the poet copying Hafez in the dark. They have kept it alive for forty-five years the way we kept Jerusalem alive for two thousand — by saying it out loud, every day, even when no one powerful was listening. Especially then. עם ישראל חי. ✡️

America’s founders were obsessed with Jews. This July 4th, America turns 250. But there’s a Jewish side to that story that most have never heard. James Madison studied Hebrew at Princeton. Alexander Hamilton went to Hebrew school. And Benjamin Franklin wanted Moses splitting the sea on the Great Seal of the United States. But why? “I will insist that the Hebrews have done more to civilize men than any other nation.” - John Adams Because the core principles that define the American identity were rooted in the biblical tradition and culture carried by one people: The Jews. Freedom. Equality. The inherent value of every individual. And education as a universal right. These ideas weren’t born in Rome or Athens but at Sinai, and were preserved throughout history by the Jewish people. The founders didn’t just look to “Western values.” They looked to the Torah. They saw ancient Israel and the Jewish people as the ultimate model of a free people bound not by force but by covenant. Governing themselves under a shared sacred law. And America was their attempt to do it again. “May the Deity . . . who delivered the Hebrews from their Egyptian oppressors [and] planted them in the promised land—whose providential agency has lately been conspicuous in establishing these United States. . .” @myJLI
