And The Award Goes To

As I make my way to Israel today, this final 2025 bulletin will not have a "2025 The Year That Was" section. Instead I will share the not so surprising news that "Tucker Carlson named 'Antisemite of the Year' as 2024 winner Candace Owens ramps up anti-Jewish rhetoric". In a very crowded field, his win is by a couple of touchdowns as per the above JTA piece. I plan to celebrate my birthday in Tel Aviv next week and write the first bulletin of 2026 from there. Don't be surprised if a new category is found for the person who put more Jews (and Israelis) at risk since Israel's birth. Perhaps it will be a straight forward Traitor of the Year award.

With a new year ahead, one of my main goals while in Israel is to check on how your generosity makes the world a better place. I will be visiting communities in Israel where our dollars are at work and also look for new areas where we might want to lend our support. Happy New Year and stay tuned!
