Although the Supreme Court agreed that the migrants were entitled to challenge their deportations and that they were also entitled to reasonable notice of impending deportation in order to contest them.
Antisemitism isn’t a historical accident – it’s woven into the fabric of the human story. Though it often cloaks itself in cultural, economic, or ethnic explanations, its roots run deeper.
What is the secret of our redemption? What is necessary to bring it about, and why does the Messiah seem to tarry so long, so eternally long?
The logic of definitively confronting Iran now is manifest. Iran is at the center of a multi-tentacled proxy terrorist network that continues to plague much of the world and which will inevitably become intolerable.
Rav Feldman notes that collaboration with the WZO has meant that Orthodox groups are working together with Conservative and Reform ones. This is true, but so what?

All of you, in your own way, came to rallies, visited Israel, sent money, spoke out and endured alienation, hate mail or worse. You did it with the full knowledge that there would be some repercussions, just as many other beautiful souls, like Patricia Heaton, Dr. Phil and Douglas Murray, to name a few, came to the forefront.

Once the partition of Palestine was approved by the United Nations on November 29, 1947, the violence against the Jews intensified.

If anyone is desecrating the mosque, it is those (Palestinian leadership) who exploit it to encourage their people to carry out terrorist attacks.
One would be greatly mistaken to think that she will pause in her efforts to combat Jew-haters and anti-Israel terrorists.
Moreover, Hamas also continues to intentionally hold and use Israeli and American hostages as bargaining chips. Yet that ongoing outrageous human trafficking is not cited by Sanders as bearing on Hamas’s responsibility for the situation in Gaza. But Israel’s inadvertent causing of collateral harm to civilians is.
Any presumption that YU had abandoned a commitment to upholding the eternal values of the Torah, in letter or in spirit, in this matter, ignores the reality of the history.
Kids have not changed – parents have. And not all for the better.
Indeed, as we see it, we Jews, as the intended beneficiaries of the leveraging of federal funding, are now seen as enemies of free speech, academic freedom, and medical research.

In Israel, a lot, especially when it comes to Judea and Samaria.
The safety and security of Jews around the world depends on Israel winning – on regaining its strength, self-confidence, and deterrent power. This, in turn, will re-empower Diaspora Jews to defend Israel and themselves.
By placing the only democratically elected leader in the Middle East on the same level as Yahya Sinwar, the mass-murdering head of Hamas, the ICC has exposed its own moral and procedural collapse.
All the elements of Sefer Vayikra – from the Temple offerings to the prohibitions of incest, from holiday observance to loving our neighbor – contribute to the tapestry of sacred living the Torah demands of the Jewish people.
While no one ever knows for sure about these things, we are intrigued not only by the advent of the anti-Hamas outcry, but that it was allowed to continue for several days. Plainly, something is afoot in Gaza.
Politicians and students merrily dance to a song celebrating their dereliction of duty, and which openly denigrates the country which is paying them to stay in yeshiva. Meanwhile, soldiers risk life and limb, forgoing comfort and exerting themselves physically to an extreme, to protect the lives of those who call them heretics.
It stands to reason that a good deal of today’s Washington decision-making will now come to be sifted through differing notions of separation of powers. That is, constitutionally, it matters who decides as much as what is decided.
The alternative to joining the IDF is certainly an easier option. Instead of fighting to defend the Jewish nation from the ultimate evil, Hamas, one could go to a secular college.

According to some reports, Hamas members have been spotted leading some of Gaza's demonstrations.
Hamas seeks to end the war while maintaining its military control over Gaza, mirroring Hezbollah’s pre-war dominance in Lebanon. Israel must not allow this to happen, even if Egypt pushes for it.

As veteran Israeli commentator on Arab affairs Zvi Yehezkeli points out, “If those protesting Hamas had a chance, they would commit Oct. 7 again.”
The Trump proposal comprises a point of singularity reflecting a sharp break from past trends, and a sober recognition of the futility of the past pursuit of some mythical Palestinian “peace partner.”
Like the anti-Trump “resistance,” the country’s liberal establishment is waging a war against the prime minister as a bid to hold on to power, not an effort to save democracy.
What rankles the most in this episode is not the sheer counter-intuitiveness of it all. It is that the law flies directly in the face of explicit governing provisions of the New York State Constitution.
Like the lengthy campaign against Italy's Silvio Berlusconi, this one seeks to politically dismantle the prime minister by painting him as an authoritarian threat to democracy.
But beyond his public platform, Rabbi Fink was someone who offered a listening ear and genuine friendship, particularly to those who felt overlooked.
Indeed, many of those interviewed reported maintaining select Jewish practices such as davening or Shabbat dinner, even if not necessarily within a halachic framework, and staying connected with Orthodox family members and friends and with their Jewish identity generally.
At this point, without any such impeachment issue yet before the high court, there should be no doubt that it was ill-advised for U.S. Chief Justice John Roberts to have intervened, as he did last week, with a public statement declaring that an impeachment would be improper...

A new report on Hamas’s atrocities offers an impressive counterweight for undecided readers who will encounter the deniers as they seek the truth.
In 2024, Jewish births were 76% of total births, compared to 69% in 1995. The surge of Jewish births is due to the unprecedented rise of births (since 1995) in the secular sector,
Hamas left Israel no alternative but to resume the war.
The concept of exile and return to Zion dominates halakhah.
I am an Orthodox rabbi, and I work with Christians. If that makes you uncomfortable, if your immediate reaction is to condemn what you don't understand...
As recently as March 7, Congressman Jerrold Nadler and Congressman Adriano Espaillat issued the following statement: Revoking federal grants to Columbia University isn’t about combating anti-Semitism; it’s about the Trump administration’s war on education and science. Suuuure it is Jerry. Try telling that to the Jewish students who faced violence and threats there since the Hamas mini-Holocaust.
We have seen this before. In every generation, there are those who rise against us, determined to erase us from existence. The faces change, the slogans shift, but the relentless hatred remains the same.
In the last hundred years, we hear Western intellectuals speaking more and more about a fragmented world. They feel that one can no longer hold on to some grand cultural narrative of truth.
But we seem to have been wrong about Trump and there is reason to believe that at long last an American president is really serious about doing something about the problem of antisemitism.

I wish I was on my father’s level of kindness, but that is what I’m trying to accomplish, and the people in my office are there to help, and it’s an honor to be working with a group of people who [are about kindness and going above and beyond].
While Schumer’s thrust has a certain facial logic to it, it does seem hard to believe that Republicans would really enjoy unfettered power to run the government during a shutdown, unrestricted by what half of the nation may think.
As part of the deception, according to the IDF report, Hamas was working to convince Israel that it was interested in calm and was working for economic prosperity. The IDF investigation concluded that Hamas had planned the October 7 attack for more than 10 years.
Levi Eshkol and Yitzhak Rabin, both of the Labor Party, were on board decades ago to offer freedom for Palestinian Arabs to emigrate elsewhere.
The Arab plan, notably, also does not call on Hamas to lay down its weapons. Do the Arab leaders really believe that Western donors would rush to invest tens of billions of dollars in the Gaza Strip while terrorists belonging to Hamas, Palestinian Islamic Jihad and other groups continue to roam the streets?
Jews who support the Palestinian death cult pose the greatest danger to the Jewish people.
Satloff’s conclusion: Thanks to the creation of the P.A. in 1994, terrorism has decreased.
There is no "genocide" in Gaza. There is no "apartheid" in Israel. The IDF has not committed any "ethnic cleansing" anywhere. These crimes are only part of the Islamic/Islamist repertoire.
Leftists misuse the biblical book of Esther to promote the lie about Israel committing genocide when it is the Palestinians, like Hitler, Haman and Amalek before them, who seek their extermination.

Many people believe there is a certain look an abuser has – that somehow, evil is visible on the outside. But there is no universal dress code for those who prey on the innocent.
Our battles aren’t just for our national survival. Our enemies pose moral challenges to humanity, and our struggle is to protect the moral fiber of humanity. This was true in Persia, and it is true today.
Sounds plain to us that Hamas is trying to figure out how to get back into the game at some point, not leave it.

When politics are utilized to protect everyone, yet allows Jews to be ridiculed and attacked on college campuses and throughout the world, or when woke legislation is passed funding hormone blockers and sex change surgeries for minors, well, Dorothy, it’s obvious we’re not in Kansas anymore.
For many American Jews who profess to be strong supporters of Israel, their support is actually conditional, subject to partisan loyalties, ideological commitments, or domestic policy preferences.
What can we learn from the Purim story that can help us navigate living with this partial redemption? How do we move to a paradigm of complete redemption?
Like the notorious Trump criminal cases, the Adams variety also had the odor of creative and selective prosecutions that exploited technical and insignificant violations of law.
Why does one news report matter? One reason is that so many newspapers, major ones as well as small town ones depend on the AP for their international coverage.
Notwithstanding the many genuine Christian supporters of the State of Israel and the Jewish people who we cherish and continue to work closely with, over the last 60 years, the deceptive “Messianic” movement has emerged.
Who would manage Gaza, under the Arab plan, during the proposed $50 billion reconstruction project?
By Alex Mison
Like many Jewish students, I found myself confronting this wave of hate. But rather than focusing solely on how to react to this hostility, I realized the more pressing question was: How do we create a future where antisemitism no longer defines our Jewish experience? How do we ensure that our identity is shaped not by hatred but by pride, purpose, and a deep connection to our heritage?
The college administration, instead of disciplining students who break the rules and the law, negotiated with them. Cutting off funding from Barnard will not hurt students who want a real education, because Barnard students can enroll in courses at Columbia, which is affiliated with Barnard. It will put an end to the propaganda "courses", and "studies" "programs" in which Barnard seems to specialize.

Israeli feminists fit in perfectly with the groups concerned with the plight of females, as long as they aren’t the wrong kind of Jews.
In 2025, contrary to conventional wisdom, Israel’s Jewish demographic momentum since the 1990s is due largely to the fertility rise in the secular sector,

The new sheriff in Washington, Hamas's on-camera cruelty, and the Ukraine drama go a long way to explaining the change.
I have known Mike Huckabee for many years and consider him a friend. In fact, I consider him to be a friend of the Jewish people as a whole and the Jewish state. He is an ohev Yisrael, a man who loves the land, people, and State of Israel.
The future is now and it begins today…
At American universities, denying antisemitism is not a new phenomenon

The regime’s hardliners view recent setbacks as temporary tactical challenges that must be navigated before resuming their broader objectives.
When you are in a place between life and death, you ask yourself, “What is the meaning and value of my life?” And you come to a clear realization - the entire value of my life lies in the fact that I am Jewish, part of the eternal people of Israel.

David, Yosef, Sarah (also among Arabs) and Rachel the most popular choices among the state's Jews since 1948.
Beneath that surface lies a deeper level: the shape of this language’s letters, its numerology, its roots and apparent synonyms. All this leads to a fractal-within-a-fractal of information contained in its perfect communications, in every word and letter.
The ultimate insult was that the very identity the original Irish had fought to preserve was now being co-opted and celebrated, but in a way that removed its political and historical significance. The newcomers had taken what they once tried to erase and sinisterly made it their own.
Even when they acknowledge the crisis, it is often through a lens of self-congratulation, crediting their learning alone for the nation’s protection. This mindset ignores the heroic Torah learning within the Religious Zionist camp – learning that exists alongside military service and national responsibility.
Some human beings will always use that freedom for nefarious ends. No miracle, no revelation, not even the most undeniable display of divine power, will erase evil from this world. It remains our mission to fight it, both for our own survival and for the moral future of humanity.

HonestReporting CEO Jacki Alexander fights the perils of bias, misinformation, and propaganda prejudices that we Jews know all too well.
Elon Musk’s extraordinary deep dive into every nook and cranny of federal spending and employment reflects a desire to root out the waste and inefficiency – and possible corruption – that necessarily hobble the federal bottom line.

The notion that Trump’s refusal to let Zelenskyy dictate U.S. policy sets a precedent for the Jewish state is a partisan talking point. The two relationships have little in common.
For an industry still powered by Jews and obsessed with the making of superhero movies, the Oscar for Jewish Cowardice continues to have far too many nominees.
Where have they gone? To another continent or country, another city? Try blocks away.

Israelis can no longer be expected to live in proximity to those who desire nothing more than their death
Some people in Israel are demanding that Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu step down and agree to Hamas's demand to end the war in the Gaza Strip.... These Israelis fail to understand that the October 7 massacre is just another phase of the Islamists' Jihad (holy war) against Israel.
This orange sky was no metaphor created by an aching heart, nor was it just flowery words on a page, this was real and true and terrifying, in the most wonderful way possible.
