Pain and Mourning

Chairman Natan Sharansky and The Jewish Agency embraces the French Jewish community, and shares the sorrow of the victims' families.

I started my diner series the other week. So far, so good. I’ve been to several decent diners, had some good eggs and toast, and some amazing conversations.

Compassionate One

I’m so proud – and so grateful – that our federation Board last night decided unanimously to send $20,000 to the French Jewish community to show our support in this critical time.

The best joke I heard all week*

An old Jewish man in Soviet Russia was stopped on the street and questioned by KGB agents.
