"Mainstream #Jewish organizations were silent after #Jewishmedia reported that #ZohranMamdani, mayor of #NewYorkCity, named #PhylisaWisdom the new head of the Mayor’s Office to Combat #Antisemitism.

#Wisdom, executive director of the #NewYork Jewish Agenda, a progressive group, has been critical of #Chassidic schools, which she has said don’t provide adequate secular education. Many Chassidic leaders have accused her of being anti-Chassidic.

“Picking Phylisa Wisdom to run an office tasked with combating antisemitism is probably the biggest gaslighting #Mamdani has done so far,” stated #YaakovKaplan, vice-chair of #Brooklyn Community Board 12.

“90% of all #antisemitic attacks were against #Orthodox #Jews,” he wrote. “Picking someone for this office that #OrthodoxJews see as an adversary is mind-boggling.” 👀

Posted on fb by Binyomin Ginzberg - a #Chassidic #nigun printed to be read from right to left🧐 his note: "This example is from Geshuri's 'LaChasidim Mizmor'."

not unheard of I think but not common either -- my friend and I were trying to prepare a zoom lecture during early covid and looked for an example like this and couldn't find one at the time.

A #Chassidic teaching of the Baal Shem Tov

"You shall love your neighbor as yourself," (Vayikra 19:18), is a reflection of the mitzvah, "You shall love the Lord, your God." For when one loves another Jew, one loves the Holy One. For [the soul of] a Jew is a "portion of God Above," and when one loves a fellow Jew, one loves his innermost essence. Thus, one loves the Holy One as well - HaYom Yom 78

Agreed. For far too long most ideas within Chassidus were effectively not available to those of us in Modern Orthodoxy or non-Orthodox Judaism. It is beautiful that today there is so much more exploration of Chassidic ideas.

(I also love #Jewish ideas from outside #Chassidic Judaism as well)
