I was called a traitor & rube by my brother in 2016 (we were secular reform Jews but he later fell in w far-right #Chabad) for supporting Hillary; denouncing #MAGA & #Trump. I pointed out #Nazis at Trump rallies but he refused to see anything beyond their shared hatred of Muslims (a hatred I condemned) & his Newsmax sound bites. He died in 2018 but I wonder if he ever would have seen how destructive his hatred was and how many of his fellow Trumpers would happily have sent him to a death camp.
oks, walking back to my friends place in Bondi, Sydney, passed an older guy with a hat seated on a small ledge, said Shalom! and he called me over, asked, was I Jewish? He needed minyan for Kaddish. I flipped out my Magen David necklace, and said I'm nearly there, and I'll be happy to help when the process is finished. He smiled, said ahhh, that's good. I hope he got his minyan.

Be a Hero
In the 1880s, the Russian empire, in the thralls of its descent and eventual collapse, was wracked by violent antisemitic pogroms.
Rabbi Shmuel Schneersohn was summoned to a gathering of Jewish leaders in S. Petersburg. At the gathering, he came out forcefully in an approach ending the violence against the Jews of the Pale of Settlement.

Over 4,000 Jewish women communal leaders from around the world gathered in New York this past weekend to swap stories and support while thousands more participated online.

“In Memory of Tweetbot”
I’ve always been a dedicated #Tweetbot user since it existed, from its first day to its last second. Before that, from 2007 to 2011, I’d only used Twitter’s website, the only exception being a brief stint using #Tweetdeck during the 2008 #Mumbai terror attacks to collect/coordinate/distribute hashtag stream information on #Nariman House and #Chabad.
I already miss Tweetbot dearly.

I'm really glad Chaya Raichik showed her face, for multiple reasons:
1. Now we know which Chaya Raichik, because there are several
2. Oops January 6 reveal
But:
Has anyone from Chabad said anything?
I haven't seen anything, but I had a stressful past couple of days, so might have missed stuff.
Not holding my breath TBH.

I expected no one at the 2nd night #chabad #Chanukah #Chanukiah lighting in the park last night. It was cold, dark, & a wet snow had started but it was packed!
The #sufganiot were meh & the #latkes were trash but there was a little old guys #klezmer group, a balloon animals guy for little kids, & a lot of happy #Jews having fun schmoozing. My son even danced with me. The crowd ranged from a few weeks old to people in their 90s.
There really seems to be a #Jewish revival happening these days.

I'm getting my lakes and candles ready. Just want to take this time to state that even in the darkest of time, people can shed some light. 🇺🇦

Important update on working the day after a vodka fueled #Chabad Farbrengen for Yud Tes Kislev:
It isn't good.
In celebration of the 19th of Kislev, known as "the New Year of Chasidut," #Safaria has announced the latest additions to their library: four classic #chasidic works by the first and third rebbes of the #Chabad movement. Start reading: bit.ly/3UQH8De #19Kislev
