For current news…I don’t care for PBS since 10/7, ABC “World News Tonight” has become a weather show. But I do like to make dinner while hubs watches and we chat. I would love a great news program! Oh, just found you and have read 3 articles just this morning. You put into words what I am living and my relatives. I also have moved to a “social” shtetl in my town. Can you tell I am a fan?☺️
I've read the Jerusalem Post for US news, the Free Press, read the Atlantic sparingly and sometimes turn on the Jewish Broadcast Network (JBS). JBS might be what you're looking for.
Your writing is very compelling. I am not Jewish, but as a boy my mother’s best friend was Miriam Marx Allan, the daughter of Groucho Marx. We spent many happy hours with them at Groucho’s home, dining and talking endlessly. Wonderful memories. I recall Groucho telling about making reservations at a hotel in New York years before (I am 73 now so that was many many years ago). Anyway, after exchanging telegrams with the Grand Hotel the hotel’s contact finished with a one line t-gram with the words “Trust you are gentile”. The dining table fell silent in shock. I was soon ushered to a bed 🛌 I assume, to get the child out of the room. But it was too late. I couldn’t stop thinking about it. I still think about that day/night and close my eyes and pray. How can people be so stupid and cruel? Some things never leave you. I lost my wide eyed wonder. I am still scarred that our friends could live in a place where that kind of thing happened. How could the brothers go on doing what they accomplished in a place where they knew that they were set aside from the rewards they were due? Stupid, stupid people. (sigh…)
I love reading your essays, thank you. What Jewish news outlets do you read?
Currently, or for research?
