As with all
This Is Israel’s Election, Not Ours
Certainly it is news when two of the nation’s largest pro-Israel organizations, namely AIPAC and the AJC, come out strongly in agreement about almost any subject.
That the two advocacy organizations reacted to Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu’s choice to urge the formation of a coalition
The Importance of Rep. Gottheimer’s Congressional Letter
We want to use this space to thank Rep. Josh Gottheimer (D-5) and Virginia Rep. Elaine Luria (D-2) for penning the letter signed by 25 Democratic Caucus members to Speaker Nancy Pelosi condemning and rejecting the very notion of anti-Semitism by other House members.

The Jewish Link, Opinions and the ‘Muddled Middle’
We at The Jewish Link have long tried hard to be perceived as staying solidly in the “muddled middle” of our community on tricky issues involving halacha and mesorah. We often like to think that we represent the “mainstream” or “consensus” views in these areas, while recognizing that there may be those on the right and left who

A 57 percent increase in anti-Semitism.
Random acts of violence against Jews in cities and towns all over the nation.

The shul is ably and sensitively led by the much beloved Rabbi Nathaniel Helfgot, a department chair at SAR High School and a

In December of 2016, then Secretary of State John Kerry unleashed an hour and a half of invective against Israel’s future as a Jewish and democratic state.
His screed came just months after his boss, President Barack Obama, pushed through, against Israel’s protests, the Iran Nuclear Deal, even though
Supporting Gottheimer’s Golan Resolution
New Jersey Congressman Josh Gottheimer got it so on point recently when he introduced a resolution urging the United States to formally recognize Israeli sovereignty over the Golan Heights.
There is no more vital time than now for the Trump Administration to validate the New Jersey Congressman’s
Democrats Were Right to Pull Away From Women’s March
Louis Farrakhan.
A man who would compare Jews to “termites” and refer to Hitler as a “great man” and Judaism as a “gutter religion.”
How much connection to the Women’s March does anyone need from Louis Farrakhan to viscerally understand that this is a
