Sydney Gathers to Celebrate Launch of Rabbi Eli Schlanger's Book The book launch of Conversations With My Rabbi, available today from Harpers Influence, drew a large crowd to Chabad of Bondi this morning—the very synagogue where Rabbi Eli Schlanger had served for 18 years before the terrorist attack on the first night of Chanukah at Bondi Beach claimed his life. Co-authored with Nikki Goldstein, the book grew out of an unlikely friendship forged in a hospital ICU, where Schlanger prayed at Goldstein's bedside when she lay critically ill, and grew after her recovery. NSW Premier Chris Minns, who attended the launch, said the book allowed him to understand the rabbi he never had the chance to meet. "One of the really wonderful things about this book," Minns said, "is the way it manages to bring Eli's voice back to life." More: Chabad.org/7377346

Danny Phillips - Hero at Temple Israel Despite being injured when the suspect rammed a Ford F-150 through the synagogue's front doors, Phillips helped neutralize the armed attacker before further harm could be done. Even after sustaining injuries, he reportedly managed to reach the Early Childhood Center doors to warn staff not to enter the hallways. Not all heroes wear capes, but I gave him one

How many Jewish people who lost relatives on 10/7 have attacked American mosques? This is supremely embarrassing media coverage.

You can hear Jaylen yell “that’s not basketball.” He’s right. A bunch of stars have adopted this specific “drive hard left, draw contact on a semi-impossible shot, then flail” move and it keeps working. Refs have to stop calling it. It sucks to watch.

The State of Israel, the one and only nation state of the Jewish people, is today fighting shoulder to shoulder with the United States in a historic struggle against the Iranian regime. For nearly five decades this regime has devoted itself to an ideology of destroying Israel and threatening the United States and the broader Western world. In recent weeks the brutality of this regime toward its own people has again been exposed, as tens of thousands of young Iranians were slaughtered simply for daring to protest the dictatorship under which they have lived for decades. This is a profoundly just war. In many ways it is a battle fought on behalf of the entire free world against one of the most dangerous forces of darkness of our time. Yet in the distorted worldview of Tucker Carlson there is of course a different narrative. In his telling, Israel and the Jewish people are somehow the source of evil, dragging the United States into war with Iran. Such claims are not only absurd, they echo classic antisemitic tropes. This time, however, Carlson crossed a particularly dangerous line when he chose to spread baseless accusations against Chabad Lubavitch community leaders around the world. These allegations recall the darkest blood libels in Jewish history. These community leaders dedicate their lives to bringing light, compassion and Jewish life to every corner of the world, offering community, support and belonging to Jews everywhere, and kindness to every human being they encounter. I therefore call on leaders around the world to ensure their safety. I would also like to thank President Donald Trump for his steadfast support of Israel and the Jewish people. The partnership between him and Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu in this struggle is another testament to the strength of the alliance between our two nations. And to Tucker Carlson I say only this. The Jewish people have faced far greater enemies throughout our long history and we will outlast you as well. While you sink into hatred we will continue to build, thrive and prevail. Am Yisrael Chai

CHABAD!!!!! Every single experience,interaction & prayer,laugh all of my experiences with anyone or anything that has anything with CHABAD has been pure, beautiful & meaningful. Tucker Carlson is a pathetic ridiculous desperate hateful B-word.

I work in the transportation industry as a commercial truck driver trainer—riding with and coaching new drivers who have recently obtained their commercial drivers license. That essentially means I end up in places most people have never heard of, let alone places where you’d expect to find other Jews. Living in a truck on the road comes with its challenges, especially when it comes to Judaism. Purim night was a bust. My student, due to commercial vehicle regulations, didn’t have sufficient driving hours to make it to the Atlanta area as I had planned, and just like that, my original Purim plans fell apart. I was down—but far from out. I woke up on Purim morning knowing my window to fulfill the main mitzvahs of the day was shrinking. With the tight constraints of my job, everything and anything could either make or break the day. I started making calls—five or six in total—to various Chabad centers, just putting out feelers and hoping something might work. Seconds before I was ready to throw in the towel and call the holiday a total loss, I received a call back from Rabbi Berl Goldman of Chabad at the University of Florida.

Chabad is trending #1 on X among the most popular posts. Proud to be Chabad and a follower of the Rebbe. Chabad is responsible for millions of acts of kindness every day, bringing light and compassion to thousands of communities in over 120 countries and more than 3,300 cities around the world. The Rebbe taught peace through goodness, kindness, and moral responsibility. Never hatred or war. Those who spread hate may try to shine a spotlight on Chabad, but the millions who walk through our doors will only find love, family, faith, spirituality, and G-d, all built on the foundations of goodness and kindness. Thank you to all who reached out with your love and support.

I came to Israel three weeks after October 7th. The atmosphere was horrific. I met people who put their kitchen table up against the door at night. The threat of a multi-front invasion and Iranian nukes was real. But we got our heads down and put one foot in front of the other. And now? Two and a half years later? Sinwar is dead. Nazrallah is dead. The Ayatollah dead. Listen. And don’t ever forget it. You can posture as cocky as you like, but here is a truth you know: All those who raise their hands against Israel will die. All those who raise their hands against Israel will die.

So much love and respect for Robert Kraft, but it's almost impossible to imagine a more retarded ad than this. First off, let's do the same thing we did last year, to make sure you understand we have no creativity left. Second of all, let's make the call to action posting a #BLM like bullshit square, because that's what serious people do. Third of all, let's make sure the story we tell is of a dweeby Jew getting gallantly rescued by a cool Black dude. If I had ten million dollars to spend on a Super Bowl ad, I'd just show a bunch of exploding beepers, dead Hamas and Hezbollah leaders, hot Israeli girls with guns, and the caption "Fuck Around, Find Out." But hey, why go with Jewish power and pride when quivering victimhood mixed with the worse of social media clicktivism is exactly what some committee of overpaid PR pros and professional Jewish org types thought would work wonders.
