AP correspondent Julie Walker reports most American Jews don't feel supported by either party or President Trump according to a new poll.
In 1901, Lizzie Black Kander put together a cookbook based on the classes she taught at the Milwaukee Jewish Mission. “I was trying to teach a group of young foreign girls in a crowded neighborhood how to cook simple and nutritious food, yet have it attractive and inexpensive as we prepare it in America,” she recalled. The Settlement Cook Book would go on to be the most successful charitable cookbook in American history, remaining a best-seller into the 1970s. Despite including nonkosher recipes, it became a mainstay in Jewish kitchens and an enduring touchstone of Jewish American culture. Recipes for the Melting Pot: The Lives of The Settlement Cook Book (Columbia University Press, 2026) by Dr. Nora Rubel tells the remarkable story of The Settlement Cook Book, demonstrating how it shaped Jewish American identity—and was in turn shaped by generations of Jewish women. Dr. Rubel traces the cookbook's evolution across forty editions over several decades, through waves of immigration, shifting gender roles, upward mobility, suburbanization, and rapid changes in Jewish life. She argues that the book celebrates pluralism, allowing it to serve at once as a tool for Americanization, a repository of tradition, and a platform for culinary innovation. Ultimately, The Settlement Cook Book is a record of American Jewish women's history, told through the food they made and the lives they led. A cultural biography of an iconic cookbook, this lively and inviting book shares an inclusive vision of American cuisine. This interview was conducted by Dr. Miranda Melcher whose book focuses on post-conflict military integration, understanding treaty negotiation and implementation in civil war contexts, with qualitative analysis of the Angolan and Mozambican civil wars.

A powerful, personal conversation this morning as local attorney Mark Cantor of Cantor Law joins The Marc Cox Morning Show to discuss a sobering new AP poll showing most American Jews now feel less safe than before October 7th. Cantor shares his own decades of experience confronting antisemitism, from a college run-in with a white supremacist group to friends who lost family members to targeted violence, and doesn't hold back calling out the double standard on college campuses where every protected class gets defended except Jewish students. He points a finger at the permissive climate created by voices across the political spectrum, and delivers a message rooted in faith and self-reliance: never be a victim, and every Jewish American should know how to protect themselves. Marc and Kim close with heartfelt appreciation for Cantor's honesty and courage in speaking out. Real conversations, real faith, real America — only on The Marc Cox Morning Show. Coming up: 2A Tuesday with Mark Walters, plus Senator Eric Schmidt at the top of the hour. Hashtags: #MarcCoxMorningShow #MarkCantor #Antisemitism #JewishCommunity #October7 #CampusFreeSpeech #SecondAmendment #SelfDefense #Faith #Israel #Conservative #GOP #FaithFamilyFreedom #StLouis
Hour Three of The Marc Cox Morning Show delivers faith, freedom, and fierce debate. Senator Eric Schmidt takes on Mazie Hirono over deporting violent criminal illegal aliens, while Cori Bush once again refuses to answer for her tornado relief dark money scandal. Attorney Mark Cantor delivers a deeply personal conversation on rising antisemitism in America and the importance of Jewish Americans defending themselves. 2A Tuesday brings Armed American Radio's Mark Walters, breaking down the Illinois AR-15 ban ruling, Zohran Mamdani's erasure of NYC's historic immigrant neighborhoods, and why Democrats never abandon their most radical figures. Kim on a Whim closes the hour with a lighter debate over permanent daylight saving time, setting up an interview with Senator Eric Schmidt on the legacy of the late Lindsey Graham. Faith, family, freedom, and fearless conversation — that's the Marc Cox Morning Show standard.

Greg Kelly Reports | July 10, 2026 - An Ohio mother's 911 call helps dismantle an alleged eight-man terror plot targeting the White House UFC Freedom 250 event, spotlighting families—not federal surveillance—as the first line of defense against domestic attacks. - President Trump warns that Iran will be obliterated if it assassinates him and demands guarantees for safe passage through the Strait of Hormuz, while Blaine Holt and Nile Gardiner argue Tehran is heading toward unconditional surrender. - Marco Rubio revokes the legal status of a Laotian child sex offender pardoned by Tim Walz and removes him from the country, as another illegal immigrant truck driver without a license leaves a three-year-old and her grandmother hospitalized in Indiana. - New polling shows 62% of Jewish Americans feel less safe since the October 7 attacks, while Zohran Mamdani faces backlash after a New York City tourism map highlights Little Palestine and Little Yemen but initially erases Little Italy and other historic communities. - University of Minnesota researchers draw fire over “My Gender Dolls,” a project aimed at children as young as four that lets users select genitalia and reproductive organs as part of gender-identity education.

Join Jim and Greg for the Friday 3 Martini Lunch as they walk through the many Candace Owens conspiracy theories proven wrong in this week's hearings in the Charlie Kirk murder case, a surprising new poll of American Jewsish voters, a Wisconsin candidate using the Green Bay Packers as an example of socialism, and Apache helicopter pilots cleared after a controversial flyover last week.First, they walk through the mountain of evidence revealed in the preliminary hearings for the case against Tyler Robinson, who is accused of murdering Charlie Kirk last year in Utah. They walk through the the facts and how they blow up so many conspiratorial narratives put forth by Candace Owens and others. But they doubt the conspiracies will stop.Next, they react to an AP poll of Jewish Americans that shows they approve of New York City Mayor Zohran Mamdani much more than Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu. Jim explains why this is not a huge surprise to him but how it's also a disturbing result.Then, they laugh as a socialist running for governor in Wisconsin uses the Green Bay Packers as a positive example of socialism. Jim and Greg explain why the far left is using rhetoric like this and why the the Packers analogy is ridiculous.Finally, they react to eight South Carolina Air National Guard Apache pilots getting suspended for their conduct during a beach flyover but having those suspensions lifted by Sec. Pete Hegseth.Please visit our great sponsors:ZocDocYour health matters and taking care of yourself shouldn't be complicated. Find and book the right doctor with Zocdoc.

In this episode, we follow a strange line from Lydia Maria Child’s The American Frugal Housewife into one of the oddest and most fascinating episodes in early American religious history. Mordechai Manuel Noah, one of the most prominent Jewish Americans of the early 19th century, imagined Grand Island in the Niagara River as Ararat, a city of refuge for the Jewish people. The plan failed almost immediately, but it still reveals an early form of proto-Zionism and the complicated place of religious minorities in the American project. #HistoryOfThePapacy #JewishHistory #AmericanReligiousHistory #GrandIsland #Zionism #Israel #ChristianZionism #Jewish #Judaism #MiddleEast #Palestine #MordechaiManuelNoah #ReligiousHistory #EarlyAmerica #HistoryPodcast Listen or Watch:https://youtu.be/wn5MRYwrnsk Support the show:Patreon: http://patreon.com/historyofthepapacyBuy me a coffee! https://buymeacoffee.com/historyofthepapacyBuy me a book: http://bit.ly/40ckJ8Ehttps://www.youtube.com/@thehistoryofthepapacyHave questions, comments or feedback?

The new reality of Washington's relationship with Israel is slowly sinking in — and it's not pretty. As JD Vance grows visibly chummier with Qatar and Pakistan than with Israeli officials, Yonit and Jonathan discuss the likely impact of the shift and whether Israel's old assumption — that an American president will always have its back — has to be discarded for good. Then: as the Mamdani effect ripples through New York's primaries, sweeping in a slate of politicians sharply critical of Israel, the two debate who's really to blame. Plus: Keir Starmer's resignation and likely successor, two former Israeli PMs along with a veritable platoon of former and current IDF commanders denounce settler violence in the West Bank - and a Jewish American comic genius reaches a milestone. 00:00 The World Cup and Jewish Connections 04:25 Israel's Changing Geopolitical Landscape 16:02 Shifts in American Politics and Israel's Position 24:04 The Nuances of Anti-Semitism and Political Shifts 29:13 Israeli Politics: Elections and Controversies 35:47 The Resignation of Keir Starmer and Its Implications 43:23 Celebrating Mel Brooks: A Comedy Legend
New York didn't just pick a few new candidates, it flashed a warning about where one of America's major parties may be headed. We break down the stunning set of Democratic primary upsets where three socialist-backed candidates win, how New York City Mayor Zoran Mandani's endorsements reshape the map, and why we think this is bigger than “progressives beating moderates.” We get specific about what these platforms say, how they're sold to voters, and what it could mean if the Democratic Socialists of America becomes a dominant force in more states.We also talk candidly about the thread tying these races together: Israel, Gaza, and the surge of anti-Semitism we've seen since October 7, 2023. We wrestle with how foreign policy turns into a domestic purity test, what that does to Jewish Americans in public life, and why this brand of activism can spill into everyday institutions far from New York.Then we shift to New Mexico and the nuts and bolts of power: a USPS proposed rule that could block mail-in ballots from states that won't provide absentee voter lists, Deb Haaland's plan to help select a new lieutenant governor running mate, and the uphill battle for an independent candidate facing steep signature requirements. We close with something forward-looking: why fusion energy and smart incentives could make New Mexico a national hub.If you care about elections, energy, and where American politics is heading next, listen now, then subscribe, share this with a friend, and leave us a rating and review.Website: https://www.nodoubtaboutitpodcast.com/Twitter: @nodoubtpodcastFacebook: https://www.facebook.com/NoDoubtAboutItPod/Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/markronchettinm/?igshid=NTc4MTIwNjQ2YQ%3D%3D
Canada Day and the Fourth of July are coming up, which means flags are popping up across North America like summer flowers. But Jewish Canadians — and Jewish Americans — have fair reason to be skeptical of nationalism. Jewish parents would be forgiven for feeling uneasy seeing their children pledge allegiance to a national flag — and that's even before getting into the extreme evolution of modern nationalism movements that, in North America and Europe, tend to skew anti-Jewish. So on this week's episode, we're looking at flags. Specifically, flags in synagogues. Whether the flag is Canadian, American or Israeli, not everyone will feel comfortable with broad national symbols on the bimah. Some view them as "idol worship". Others insist they're a unifying force for the majority of congregants. No one is right, so how do community leaders bridge the divide?

Welcome to The Times of Israel's Daily Briefing, your 20-minute audio update on what's happening in Israel, the Middle East and the Jewish world. News editor Ben Sales joins host Amanda Borschel-Dan for today's episode. A round of US-Iran negotiations on implementing the agreement to end the war was set to kick off in Switzerland today. US Vice President JD Vance and Iranian Foreign Minister Abbas Araghchi reportedly added a special session on Lebanon to their packed agenda. The talks come after an Israel Defense Forces soldier was killed and 13 were wounded in southern Lebanon in an attack by the Hezbollah terror group early Saturday morning, and a four-man IDF tank crew was killed early Friday. The IDF said Saturday it “halted its fire” outside its declared “security zone” in southern Lebanon, but would continue operations within it. Sales discusses how Vance's personal opinion of Israel -- including harsh statements on Israel's supposed ingratitude to the Trump administration and an accusation that Israel tries to kill its way out of every problem -- could color the negotiations. In the second half of the program, we ask, is it the end of a golden age of Jewish American travel to Israel? Is it because the sponsoring institutions have shifted away from thinking that an American Jew who has traveled to Israel is more likely to stay Jewishly involved, marry Jewish and support the Jewish state? And why, despite the offer of a free trip, are many fewer young adults coming? Sales weighs in. Check out The Times of Israel's ongoing liveblog for more updates.

H.W. Brands explains how, in May 1941, Roosevelt declared an "unlimited national emergency," putting American industry and the public mind on a wartime footing. This move escalated the "moral war" against Germany and effectively criminalized dissent, as Roosevelt began labeling his critics "copperheads" and "fifth columnists"—terms implying disloyalty or treason. Lindbergh felt this was a dangerous overreach, noting that his father had been hounded by the Justice Department for similar dissent during World War I. The administration intensified its pressure, with the FBItapping America First Committee phones and British agents attempting to sabotage their gatherings. Roosevelt even misrepresented the Greer incident, claiming a German submarine had fired unprovoked on an American ship, when in fact the Greer was actively hunting the submarine. On September 11, 1941, during a rally in Des Moines, Iowa, a desperate Lindbergh made a fatal rhetorical error. He identified three groups pushing for war: the British, the Rooseveltadministration, and Jewish Americans. Although he stated their sympathies were understandable, his mention of "American Jews" allowed his enemies to brand him an anti-Semite and a "Nazi stooge." Even supporters like Herbert Hoover told him that while his words might be true, he was "wrong to say it" because he had moved himself politically out of bounds. (7)1940
This episode of Jewish Voices, American Stories explores how Jewish-American scientists and doctors helped change the course of history—bringing healing, hope, and life to millions.We begin with Jonas Salk and Albert Sabin, two brilliant scientists whose breakthroughs in the fight against polio transformed one of America's greatest fears into one of its greatest public health victories. At a time when families lived in dread of the disease, their vaccines brought relief, protection, and a future free from fear—and they chose to share their discoveries not for profit, but for the good of humanity.Next, we meet Dr. Henry Heimlich, whose simple yet lifesaving maneuver empowered ordinary people to act in moments of crisis. His work reminds us that sometimes the difference between life and death comes down to knowledge—shared, practical, and ready in an instant.Finally, we turn to two of the most influential scientific minds of the modern era: Albert Einstein and Richard Feynman. Their discoveries reshaped how we understand the universe, while also raising profound questions about responsibility, ethics, and the power of knowledge. From the atomic age to the space age, their work helped define the modern world.These stories reflect a deeply rooted value in Jewish tradition: the call to pursue knowledge, to ask questions, and to use what we learn to better the world. And through these individuals, we see how science—guided by purpose and responsibility—can truly help heal the world.To learn more about God's people—from the days of the Bible through the present—visit The Fellowship's Learn Center.
It's Hump Day on The Majority Report On today's program: Progressive candidate Dr. Adam Hamawy wins the Democratic primary in New Jersey's deep-blue 12th congressional district in an otherwise muted primary day for leftist candidates. Michigan Senate candidate Abdul El-Sayed gives a perfect response to an MS NOW reporter asking him what he would say to Jewish Americans who are anxious about his critiques of AIPAC and Israel. Ben Freeman, author and director of the Democratizing Foreign Policy program at the Quincy Institute, joins the show for a conversation about his piece in Responsible Statecraft on congress trying to quietly intertwine U.S. and Israeli militaries. Congress is voting on this tomorrow so call your Congresspeople to tell them to In the Fun Half: Fox News posts Wisconsin's DSA-backed candidate for Governor Francesca Hong's platform in attempt to fearmonger but it backfires because her platform is common sense and pro-worker. At a House Foreign Relations Committee hearing, Rep. Ted Lieu (D-CA) showcases just how big of a sycophant Marco Rubio is by playing videos of Trump falling asleep during Cabinet meetings, only for Rubio to flatly deny that the president is asleep in the footage. Dan Goldman gives a horrible performance in his debate against Brad Lander. Goldman tries to attack Lander on his record on Israel when the day before Goldman had marched alongside Israeli terrorist Bezalel Smotrich in the Israel Day Parade. George Santos is under investigation by the DOJ for insider trading in the least surprising news story in history. We continue our weeklong reflection upon Dave Rubin's surrounded. All that and more.

Jews have left an indelible mark on the fabric of America, impacting activism, music, and religion. One venue holds so many inspiring examples of these contributions: Carnegie Hall. For this episode celebrating the end of Jewish American Heritage Month, Noam joins Kathleen Sabogal (Director, Rose Archives and Museum) on-location at the famous venue. On the corner of 57th Street and 7th Avenue, great names like Leonard Bernstein, Rabbi Stephen Wise, and Isaac Stern advocated for education, women's suffrage, racial equality and more. Is there inspiration here for the next chapter of Jewish American history? The answer will be music to your ears.To learn more about Carnegie Hall's story and view their digital archives, go to https://www.carnegiehall.org/About/History Get in touch at WonderingJews@unpacked.media.

Every single Democrat asked about Graham Platner yesterday gave the exact same rehearsed dodge — "let the voters decide" — from Adam Schiff to Michael Bennet to Andy Kim, word for word. Then Alexander Vindman, a Jewish American who impeached Trump over "morals and values," got hostile with a reporter for daring to ask if a guy with a Nazi tattoo should drop out of the race. Meanwhile, Janet Mills just reactivated her campaign account, and the polls show Susan Collins has been down 12 points at this stage before — and won by ten.

On today’s edition of The Scott Jennings Show, Scott Jennings covered the political aftershocks of Ken Paxton’s major runoff victory over John Cornyn in Texas, framing it as another sign of the Republican Party’s shifting direction heading into 2026. Broadcasting alongside updates on Supreme Court developments, Biden’s legal effort to block the release of audio recordings, and growing tensions involving Iran, Jennings also examined progressive Democratic losses and controversies surrounding political rhetoric. Guests included national security expert Rebeccah Heinrichs on Iran and the Trump administration’s latest cabinet discussions, Gabrielle Etzel on the political implications of Paxton’s rise and the MAHA movement, Rep. Vince Fong on California fraud, energy failures, and high-speed rail spending, Shalom E. Lamm on Operation Benjamin’s mission to honor Jewish-American veterans, and Rep. Gabe Evans on sanctuary city policies and local resistance to ICE cooperation in Colorado.

Franklin Foer is the man who declared that the golden age of American Jewry is over - or at least ending. Two years on — in the aftermath of October 7th and the Gaza war, collapsing bipartisan support for Israel, a wave of antisemitism from both left and right, and a military misadventure in Iran — he thinks he underestimated the problem. This week, Yonit and Jonathan sit down with Foer, staff writer at The Atlantic and author of the landmark piece that became required reading in Jewish communities across America. They discuss whether the anti-AIPAC pledge that has become a feature of Democratic primaries is classical antisemitism in new clothing; how a forgotten Jewish genius from Odessa might explain what American Jews are supposed to do now; and why Foer refuses — loudly — to bow to fatalism. Also: Bob Dylan's existential crisis, Abraham Joshua Heschel's ode to the Sabbath, and how soccer helps explain at least one aspect of modern Jewish life.

May is Jewish American Heritage Month (JAHM), which annually celebrates the history, culture, and contributions of Jewish Americans to the United States. As JAHM concludes, I am very excited that singers, songwriters, and bandmates Max Bartos & Jake Kitchin are the final guests on this Jake's Take with Jacob Elyachar special series! Max is New York's resident motherfolker! His folk and Americana music pairs introspective lyricism with anthemic folk-rock energy. As the frontman of Max Bartos and the Motherfolkers, the crafts songs are rooted in storytelling and emotional honesty, with a modern acoustic sound shaped by influences such as Mumford & Sons and Noah Kahan. His latest release, Waiting At The Crossroads (2025) captures a defining chapter in his artistic evolution, expanding his folk and Americana foundation with richer dynamics and a more confident, fully realized identity. Fresh off a 30-date U.S. tour with The Misfit Toys, he continues to build momentum on the road. This spring, he joined acclaimed singer-songwriter Brendan James as direct support on a 14-date national tour from March 11 through April 1, further cementing his reputation as a compelling and emotionally resonant live act. Recently signed with Noble Steed Music, Max is steadily carving out his place in the modern folk landscape through intentional songwriting, immersive performances, and a growing catalog that connects deeply with listeners.Jake Kitchin has had a passion for the arts ever since he was young. Having grown up as a professional actor in New York City with a deep love for tap dancing, he has had the opportunity to work with people such as Steve Martin and Walter Bobbie. In 2023, he graduated magna cum laude with a BFA from Marymount Manhattan College. In 2020 and 2021, he was honored to sing on stage at Madison Square Garden during The Eagles' Hotel California Tour. In addition to performing as an actor, Jake is also a skilled multi-instrumentalist and songwriter. He plays guitar, mandolin, and bass, drawing inspiration from folk, blues, bluegrass, jazz, and classic rock. He currently plays mandolin live and in the studio for Max Bartos and the Motherfolkers, a folk/bluegrass-inspired project. In Spring 2025, Jake released his debut album - a collection of jazz standards titled On a Clear Day. He is currently preparing to record and release an album of his original folk music.On this episode of The Jake's Take with Jacob Elyachar Podcast, Max Bartos & Jake Kitchin shared how they met, how they deal with antisemitism and anti-Zionism in the music industry and on social media, and how they opened for Rita Wilson.Become a supporter of this podcast: https://www.spreaker.com/podcast/jake-s-take-with-jacob-elyachar--4112003/support.
This episode of Jewish Voices, American Stories takes us back to the earliest chapters of American history—long before Ellis Island—when Jewish life was already taking root in a new and uncertain nation.We begin at Touro Synagogue—the oldest synagogue in the United States. Built by a small community seeking religious freedom, it stands as a lasting symbol of a promise that would define America: that people of all faiths could worship freely and live without fear. That promise was powerfully affirmed in 1790, when President George Washington declared that the new nation would give “to bigotry no sanction, to persecution no assistance.”From there, we move to the front lines of the American Revolution. Jimmy introduces us to Francis Salvador, the first known Jewish patriot to give his life for American independence—a man who chose to fight for a nation still being born, believing in its promise of liberty and opportunity.Finally, we meet Solomon Bush, a Jewish officer in George Washington's army who was wounded at the Battle of Brandywine and later played a role in uncovering a threat within the Continental forces. His story is a powerful reminder that the fight for freedom was carried not only by generals and statesmen, but by ordinary individuals willing to sacrifice everything.These stories reveal a profound truth: from the very beginning, Jewish Americans were not outsiders to the American story—they were part of it. Building communities. Serving their country. And helping shape a nation founded on faith, freedom, and hope.To learn more about God's people—from the days of the Bible through the present—visit The Fellowship's Learn Center.

In this episode of Capital for Good, we speak with Angela Buchdahl, the senior rabbi of Central Synagogue in New York City and the first woman to lead that congregation in its 185-year history. Born in Korea to a Jewish American father and a Korean Buddhist mother, Buchdahl is the first Asian American to be ordained as a cantor or rabbi in North America. She is also well known for her innovations in leading worship, reaching millions across 100 countries via livestream and cable broadcast. Her New York Times best-selling memoir, Heart of a Stranger, roots her unlikely story and experience as an outsider and boundary crosser in both ancient Jewish traditions and in the universal longing for belonging. Heart of a Stranger, Buchdahl explains, is both a particular and shared narrative. She tells us that, as a child, she often felt she was an outsider: Korean in America, American when she returned to Korea, and an unusual mixed-race family in the Jewish community. She connects this experience to her family's — starting with her mother who was born in Japan, where her family had been displaced, before returning to Korea and eventually immigrating to the United States — and to ancient Jewish narratives, from the biblical story of Abraham, a stranger in a foreign land, to millennia as diaspora outsiders around the world. Buchdahl also speaks of crossing boundaries to find home. "Home is where your people are," her mother told her, and then demonstrated how welcoming others (as an ESL teacher in Tacoma, Washington and a founder of an organization to assist new immigrants to the US — in Buchdahl's words, a "serial welcomer") could be transformative for everyone, creating community in the place of strangeness. This too, Buchdahl reminds us — the act of welcoming, with compassion and empathy — has roots in Abrahamic and other spiritual traditions and can be a powerful antidote to the isolation and polarization dividing us today. Agency and intentionality are central themes of the book, and of our conversation. We discuss what this means in the Jewish context — Buchdahl's decision and acts to define her own identity and path –— and its more universal applications: the spiritual imperative we all have to be boundary crossers. For Buchdahl, much of her early calling and connection to faith came through music, what she calls "my natural spiritual language." We explore how music has shaped her identity, her roles as cantor and rabbi, and the way she leads the congregation at Central Synagogue. Music is about beauty, she notes, but even more so about the "energy and electricity that comes when we're making it together." Buchdahl believes that much of her responsibility is to feel and modulate that energy. We end with a broader discussion of leadership and what it means to have the "appropriate" amount of humility (in Hebrew, "anavah") to lead. Sometimes, Buchdahl says, even if it is uncomfortable, "you have to step in to fill that space," and all the more so in moments of destabilization. "You have to speak to people's fear, to then move forward and beyond." While there is no shortage of challenges — Buchdahl cites anti-Semitism, climate and technological change, isolation and polarization, to name a few — she also believes "there are ways to mine each crisis for the opportunity it provides us." We conclude with a return to agency — and exhortation. "Every day," Buchdahl says, "we can take one step towards building the world we want to live in." Mentioned in this episode: Heart of a Stranger: An Unlikely Rabbi's Story of Faith, Identity and Belonging, (Angela Buchdahl, 2025)
I am very excited to launch a very special series for Jake's Take with Jacob Elyachar Podcast.

On May 4, President Trump issued a proclamation which reads: In special honor of 250 glorious years of American independence and on the weekend of Rededicate 250—a national jubilee of prayer, praise, and thanksgiving—Jewish Americans are encouraged to observe a national Sabbath. From sundown on May 15 to nightfall on May 16, friends, families, and communities of all backgrounds may come together in gratitude for our great Nation. This day will recognize the sacred Jewish tradition of setting aside time for rest, reflection, and gratitude to the Almighty. It is worth pausing on what an astonishing thing that is. For most of Jewish history, when the most powerful ruler in the world turned his attention to the Jews, it was not to encourage their devotion to Jewish law. It was to constrain the Jews, to tax them, to suppress them, to expel them, or to put an end to the miraculous story of the Jews in history. So did Pharaoh, Antiochus, Hadrian, the kings of England and Spain, and the tsars. Even more benign monarchs—the Habsburg emperors, or Napoleon—conditioned the protections of civic life on the Jews giving up some of their distinctiveness. America is exceptional. And now, in the year of America's 250th birthday, the incumbent of the most powerful office on earth has issued a formal proclamation encouraging the Jews to be more Jewish. To discuss this momentous occurrence, Mosaic's editor Jonathan Silver is joined by the historian, writer, former government official, and Washington insider Tevi Troy, who recently wrote an article titled, "A National Sabbath for American Jews." The article appeared on May 14, 2026 in the Wall Street Journal, and is the point of departure for today's discussion.
I am very excited to launch a very special series for Jake's Take with Jacob Elyachar. May is Jewish American Heritage Month (JAHM), which annually celebrates the history, culture, and contributions of Jewish Americans to the United States. I am honored to welcome my dear friend and mentor, Joanne J-Bird Phillips, to the podcast. I first met J-Bird in New York City through our mutual friend and former guest, Beatrice Kimmel. She and I instantly bonded and became fast friends. I love her zest for life, and it was Beshert (Yiddish for “destiny”) that the stars finally aligned for her to come on the show for our third JAHM special. Born in The Bronx and raised on Long Island, NY, Joanne Phillips grew up in a family of professional drummers and band leaders. Having a natural rhythm since childhood, Joanne's father taught her to play drums with brushes when she was seven, and her first song was "Come Fly with Me" by Frank Sinatra. She grew up listening to Swing, Motown, Bossa Nova, and Rock 'n' Roll, and honed her drum skills on a full orange sparkle drum kit that her family bought for her. At age sixteen, Joanne was asked to join a local garage band of teenage boys who needed someone to play their cover of "Wipeout" by The Surfaris correctly. She stepped in and nailed it. Hence began Joanne's lifelong love of music and live performance. Fast forward to the late 70's, after Joanne had moved to Long Beach, NY, and raised two children of her own in the arts -- her son, an alumnus of Upright Citizens Brigade Theatre in NYC, and one of the metro area's popular freelance Improv coaches, and her daughter, a SAG-AFTRA TV actress and comedian/comedy writer working in LA.Over the years, Joanne witnessed how many music and arts programs were evaporating and eventually terminated, due to a lack of funding and/or support from the government, as well as certain folks with no interest in keeping arts programs alive, resulting in the arts being put on the back burner in the education system. Joanne remained an avid supporter of an arts education platform for children. She saw how it created positive experiences for her own kids (and many other youths) and witnessed how even a basic arts education enriched lives of youths on many levels for years into their adulthood. In 2012, Joanne founded J-Bird Music for the Arts, Inc., with the vision of reviving arts programs by providing much-needed equipment, instruments, and resources to enrich the lives of youth through arts education. She wanted to bring that same joy, excitement, and creativity to youth everywhere, especially in underserved or underfunded areas. Through J-Bird Music for the Arts, Joanne brings her vision alive. From her tireless efforts as a brain tumor survivor with a second chance to live and continue on this mission, she has provided much-needed equipment and support to music and arts programs throughout New York State, including Still Waters In A Storm in Brooklyn, Long Beach High School in Long Island, and Goshen Central High School in Orange County, NY. On this edition of The Jake's Take with Jacob Elyachar Podcast, Joanne spoke about her tenth anniversary of being associated with the US Press Association and revealed some of the J-Bird Music for the Arts' top accomplishments.Become a supporter of this podcast: https://www.spreaker.com/podcast/jake-s-take-with-jacob-elyachar--4112003/support.

I am very excited to launch a very special series for Jake's Take with Jacob Elyachar Podcast. May is Jewish American Heritage Month (JAHM), which annually celebrates the history, culture, and contributions of Jewish Americans to the United States. There are no words to describe how ecstatic I am to welcome back Ethan Zohn for a third time! Ethan became a household name when he first appeared on Survivor: Africa, the third season of the legendary US reality TV competition. He won seven challenges and the title of “Sole Survivor.” He appeared on Survivor: All-Stars, where he won four challenges but lasted only 21 days, and returned to compete in the milestone season Survivor: Winners at War, where he only won one challenge and lasted 35 days. Since Survivor, Ethan has become an influential social entrepreneur. With a portion of his Survivor: Africa winnings, he co-founded Grassroot Soccer (GRS). GRS is an adolescent health organization that harnesses the power of soccer to provide young people with the essential information, services, and mentorship they need to lead healthier lives. Since its inception, GRS has expanded to 60 countries in Africa and worldwide, has graduated 13 million youth, and has worked with scores of public—and private-sector partners. He also raised his voice to fight cancer. Cancer-free since 2012, Ethan Zohn has been a voice for fighters, survivors, and caregivers of all ages, even chronicling the gritty details of his entire cancer experience for People Magazine. While undergoing treatment, he ran and finished the New York City and Boston marathons to help spread messages of hope and resilience to the world. Ethan is a champion for investment in new medical research and technology. He is an advisor to numerous hospitals and foundations, such as Cancer Buddy, the Leukemia and Lymphoma Society, and Memorial Sloan Kettering. As demonstrated by his charitable work, tzedakah, and community involvement, Ethan believes that Jewish values can achieve a better and healthier world. His inspiration to help heal the world stems from being taught at an early age the importance of community, a connection to the Jewish faith, and the preservation of Israel. Ethan shares his deep bond to Judaism, his connection to the Jewish community, and his relationship with Israel by partnering with Jewish organizations that do critical work worldwide, such as BBYO, the Jewish National Fund, and Maccabi USA. On this edition of The Jake's Take with Jacob Elyachar Podcast, Ethan Zohn gave his take on Survivor 50, previews Grassroot Soccer's 25th anniversary, and how Grassroot Soccer is going to play a role with the World Cup coming to North America.Become a supporter of this podcast: https://www.spreaker.com/podcast/jake-s-take-with-jacob-elyachar--4112003/support.
In this episode of The President's Daily Brief: New reporting suggests Russia may be facing a growing manpower problem inside its military ranks, as desertions rise and the Kremlin increasingly relies on pressure, incentives, and unconventional recruiting methods to sustain the war in Ukraine. American forces open fire on an Iranian-linked vessel accused of attempting to bypass the U.S. naval blockade, raising tensions in the Gulf even as negotiations with Tehran continue behind the scenes. Ukraine accuses Russia of violating a ceasefire proposed by Kyiv just hours after it took effect, with fresh strikes reported across the front lines. And in today's Back of the Brief—a troubling new report finds violent antisemitic attacks against Jewish Americans surged to record levels in 2025.

Antisemitism in America has reached a crisis point — and the data proves it. In this powerful episode, Donny sits down with Jonathan Greenblatt, CEO and National Director of the Anti-Defamation League (ADL), to break down the most alarming antisemitism statistics the ADL has ever recorded. With 17 antisemitic incidents happening every single day in 2024 — including harassment, vandalism, and violence — and a staggering 1 in 4 Americans saying it's "understandable" to attack Jewish people, Greenblatt explains how hate against Jews has gone from normalized to institutionalized since October 7th. They discuss the rise of antisemitism from both the far left and the far right, the dangerous blurring of anti-Zionism and antisemitism, violent protests outside synagogues in New York City, the murders of Jewish Americans in Washington D.C. and Boulder, Colorado, and why Jewish Americans — just 2% of the U.S. population — account for over 55% of all religion-based hate crimes according to the FBI. Greenblatt also reveals what the ADL is doing to fight back using AI-powered threat monitoring and education tools, and gives every American — Jewish or not — three concrete steps to combat hate in their communities right now. If you care about civil rights, the future of democracy, and standing up to hate, this is a must-listen conversation.
This week on CUFI Weekly, we honor American Jewish Heritage Month by celebrating the extraordinary contributions Jewish Americans have made to the United States — from medicine and military service to science, culture, and innovation.As antisemitism rises and voices seek to “other” the Jewish community, we are reminded that Jewish history is woven into America's story itself. Antisemitism is not just a Jewish issue — it is a moral issue that threatens the values of freedom, dignity, and unity that define our nation.
I am very excited to launch a very special series for Jake's Take with Jacob Elyachar Podcast.

From museum deep-dives to viral reels, her work lives at the intersection of culture, commentary, and connection. Beatrice has worked with various brands, including The Academic Writer's Space, Diet Coke, Jerry Gogosian, the Leo Baeck Institute, and YSL Beauty. In addition to Culture Quota, she works as a Social Media Associate at 70 Faces Media and as a Content Manager at Betches Media.

This week, before diving into our two films for this week, we revisit the 1960 film "Exodus" with a few reflections based on listeners' responses -- and Hoffman's musing while sweeping. We then hear about the movie maven's night out enjoying the Boss, Bruce Springsteen, and the E-Street Band's longtime Jewish musicians. The first film we chew over in this week's episode is a short, 13-minute indie production called "How to Make Challah" by Sarah Rosen. The intergenerational look at New York Jewry is framed within footage filmed by Rosen's aunt of her grandmother making challah in 1975. Now #1 on Netflix in Israel, Sadie Sandler's new "Roommates" left the team almost speechless, but they valiantly rallied at the sight of Jewish acting greats Natasha Lyonne, Nick Kroll and Carol Kane. Chloe East stars as Celeste, joined by Sadie Sandler as Devon. Does her apple fall far from the Adam Sandler tree? Stick around to see if "How to Make Challah" and "Roommates" got an "oy," "meh" or "not bad" in this week's The Reel Schmooze.

The National Security Hour with Col. Mike and Dr. Mike – The United States has played the fool for Israel since 1948, and during that period, much of our society and politics have been corrupted by Israeli governments and intelligence agencies, the purchase of the loyalty of almost all of Congress by AIPAC, UDL, SPLC, and multiple Jewish-American billionaires. This crowd is now seeking to...
On March 2, 1945, five Mexican American families and their Jewish American lawyer filed a class-action lawsuit against four school districts in Orange County, California, to end the segregation of ethnic Mexican children. In a shocking decision, the court ruled in favor of plaintiffs, setting a legal and historical precedent in Mendez, et al. v. Westminster School District of Orange County that shook the foundations of Jim Crow America and led to the end of de jure school segregation across the nation. Breaking Down the Walls of Segregation: Mexican American Grassroots Politics and Civil Rights in Orange County, California (Oxford UP, 2025) tells the story of how ethnic Mexicans in a relatively unknown agricultural backwater built the unprecedented movement that led to this decision. Beginning in the 1880s, David-James Gonzales details the social and economic history of Orange County, explaining how citrus capitalists, seeking increased market share and profitability, established the walls of segregation to manage ethnic Mexican family labor. By the early 1930s, ethnic Mexicans were segregated into over fifty underserved colonias and barrios. Without training or support from national civil rights organizations, they mobilized against segregation and inequality beginning in the late 1920s. Ethnic Mexican grassroots organizations proliferated throughout the county, intent on engaging in civic affairs and ending anti-Mexican discrimination and segregation. This movement, comprised of immigrants, citizens, parents, children, emerging activists, and their non-Mexican allies, paved the way for the growth of LULAC and nationwide organizing. As an essential part of the "long civil rights movement," the ethnic Mexican struggle against segregation in Orange County illustrates how minoritized groups have historically pushed US social, economic, and political institutions to live up to the nation's founding ideals. David-James Gonzales is Assistant Professor of History at Brigham Young University. He is a historian of migration, urbanization, and social movements in the U.S., and specializes in Latina/o/x politics and social movements. Learn more about your ad choices.
