Thanks to @RepSimonCataldo and the Special Commission on Combating Antisemitism for their thoughtful work and recommendations to understand and combat the alarming rise in antisemitic incidents that have taken place in Massachusetts, consistent with a concerning national trend.
A state-appointed commission will issue a broad set of recommendations to increase tolerance, improve education about antisemitism, and build better ways to monitor incidents of hate and bias against Jews. trib.al/1ONTxFE

There is no place for antisemitism in America — in our government, our schools, and our communities. I’m grateful for the work of the Massachusetts Antisemitism Commission, as we combat hate and bigotry in every form. gazettenet.com/2025/11/21/ma…

The Massachusetts Special Commission on Combating Antisemitism condemned federal attacks on universities over antisemitism allegations, repeatedly praising Harvard for its anti-discrimination policies. @MeganBlonigen and @frances_yong_ report. thecrimson.com/article/2025/…

California's AB 1454, a landmark early literacy bill, achieved unanimous legislative support and is now state law. What about us, Massachusetts? Only 4 in 10 of our 3rd graders read on grade level. We must pass comprehensive literacy laws NOW. Thank you to our bold leaders @SenDiDomenico @RepSimonCataldo and @RepDanSenaMA for championing this bill!

Mrs M was Teacher of the Year, then the school switched to structured literacy, upending her practice. But she went along with it for the greater good. Result: she was teacher of the year again. The whole school is improving. Got emotional when explaining, "How could you not..."

In Seaford, DE, everybody is a reading teacher. Visited last year and saw PE teachers starting with a reading activity. Profiled on ExtraOrdinary Districts, it's was easy to see why.

Thank you, Congresswoman!
Antisemitism is on the rise — across the country and here in the Commonwealth.   We have a responsibility to root out this hatred and protect our communities.   I’m grateful to the Massachusetts Antisemitism Commission for taking urgent action. Their findings will strengthen our efforts to combat antisemitism in schools and help us build a safer future for our children.

💔 Our hearts are broken. Sarah Milgrim and Yaron Lischinsky — two young Israeli embassy staffers and cherished members of the AJC community — were murdered while leaving an AJC event in Washington, D.C., last night. They were stolen from us. They had their entire lives ahead of them. Sarah, an American from Overland Park, Kansas, was warm and compassionate, committed to peacebuilding, and passionate about sustainability and people-to-people relations. Yaron always had a smile on his face and a welcoming presence. He had reportedly bought a ring and was planning to ask Sarah to marry him in Jerusalem next week. Words cannot adequately express our sorrow. We mourn with Sarah and Yaron’s families, their friends, and all who loved them. May their memories be a blessing.
