My bar mitzvah was 48 years ago today, May 31, 1975. My mother insisted that my father and I wear banana-yellow tuxedos and banana-yellow kippot to match her banana-yellow dress. Thank God monkeys didn’t escape from the zoo or they would have peeled us to death.

WHY I JUST ENDORSED @PeteButtigieg reason #6 of 6. I am LGBTQ and have had an adverse reaction to LGBTQ people who criticize Pete for not being “gay enough.” That’s internalized homophobia. Is there a one-style-fits-all gay? How offensive. Pete and @Chas10Buttigieg make me proud.

Israel-bashers, you lie when you claim that Zionism, Israel’s right to exist, is predicated on stripping Palestinians of their own self-determination. Since the 1947 UN vote, the Palestinians have rejected proposals for a two-state solution that Israel accepted again and again.

No supporter of Israel, including me, wants to civilians in Gaza to be killed. That is Antisemitic blood libel at its most grotesque. Who wants civilians in Gaza to be killed? Hamas, hiding in homes and hospitals and using civilians as human shields. #IStandWithIsrael

Assad gassed Syrians. China is genociding Uighurs. Azerbaijan ethnically cleansed a village of Armenians. WHERE IS THE OUTRAGE? Meanwhile, Israel has sent 400,000 tons of humanitarian aid to civilians in Gaza. #IStandWithIsrael

Today I receive my third master’s — my master’s in Jewish studies on route to my rabbinic ordination a couple of years from now. I’m a civil rights lawyer and public affairs consultant who decided in my 50s to follow my childhood dream. It’s never too late to follow your dreams.
