Trenton's Jews

A wave of open Jew-hatred by medical professionals, medical schools, and professional associations in the wake of the Hamas slaughter suggests that a field entrusted with healing is becoming a licensed purveyor of hatred BY IAN KINGSBURY AND JAY P. GREENE NOVEMBER 21, 2023     Activists from Doctors Against Genocide, American Palestinian Women's Association, and CODEPINK hold a demonstration calling for an immediate cease-fire in Gaza at the Hart Senate Office Building in Washington, D.C., Nov. 16, 2023 On Oct. 7, Hamas unleashed a barbaric terrorist attack against Israel, killing more than 1,200 people, including more than 30 Americans. The event was unprecedented in its scale and cruelty in a country that is no stranger to terrorism. Still, it was not met with universal condemnation. Rather, a nontrivial number of Americans either justified or even celebrated the attacks. Such responses were especially prevalent within the elite universities that popular imagination histori

    Tuesday, January 9, 2024   Good morning, New York.  It was a wild day in NYC yesterday, beginning with major traffic snarls as  pro-Palestinian protests blocked traffic on the East River bridges  and the Holland Tunnel, and ending with a chaotic scene over illicit tunnels at the Chabad movement’s Crown Heights headquarters that ended with 12 arrests. Keep scrolling for the details on these events — plus everything else Jewish New Yorkers are talking about today! 12 arrested as fracas breaks out over tunnel at Chabad headquarters Police arrested 12 people at the Chabad-Lubavitch movement’s world headquarters in Crown Heights, Brooklyn on Monday evening as chaos broke out during a dispute over a tunnel into the building — which, according to a Chabad spokesperson, was opened by Chabad “extremists” seeking unauthorized access to parts of the building.   The fracas broke out after a cement truck was brought in to repair the building’s walls and seal off the tunnel, whose purpose and si

  Top of Form   The  Hebrew calendar  ( Hebrew :  הַלּוּחַ הָעִבְרִי ,  romanized :  HaLuah HaIvri ), also called the  Jewish calendar , is a  lunisolar calendar  used today for  Jewish  religious observance and as an official calendar of  Israel . It determines the dates of  Jewish holidays  and other rituals, such as  yahrzeits  and the schedule of  public Torah readings . In Israel, it is used for religious purposes, provides a time frame for agriculture, and is an official calendar for civil holidays alongside the  Gregorian calendar . Like other lunisolar calendars, the Hebrew calendar consists of months of 29 or 30 days which begin and end at the time of the new moon. As  12 such months  comprise a total of just 354 days, an  extra lunar month  is added every 2 or 3 years so that the long-term average year length closely approximates the actual length of the  solar year . Originally, the beginning of each month was determined based on physical observation of a new m

  Tu Bishvat 101 The "birthday of the trees" is a time for seders, tree-planting and more. BY   MY JEWISH LEARNING     The name of this festival is its date: “Tu” is a pronunciation of the Hebrew letters for the number 15, and it falls in the Hebrew month of Shevat. Traditionally, Tu Bishvat was not a Jewish festival. Rather, it marked an important date for Jewish farmers in ancient times. The Torah states, “When you enter the land [of Israel] and plant any tree for food, you shall regard its fruit as forbidden. Three years it shall be forbidden for you, not to be eaten” ( Leviticus 19:23 ). The Temple priests offered the fruit of the fourth year as a gift for the bounty of the land, and the fifth-year fruit–and all subsequent fruit–was finally for the farmer. This law, however, raised the question of how farmers were to mark the “birthday” of a tree. The Rabbis therefore established the 15th of the month of Shevat as a general “birthday” for all trees, regardless of
