Sorry, but #Trump doesn't get to tell Jews what to do.

I say that we should not observe Shabbat on May 15-16 out of "gratitude for our great nation," (because nationalism is idolatry) but rather for very different reasons --- as a day of living into a different set of values, ones that escew nationalism and war. #Shabbat should never be used as an excuse to bow the knee to a tyrant.

Excerpt: Throughout this historic year, we rejoice in the triumph of the American spirit and rededicate ourselves to the cause of liberty and justice for all. 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.

Jewish American Heritage Month, 2026

BY THE PRESIDENT OF THE UNITED STATES OF AMERICA A PROCLAMATION This Jewish American Heritage Month, we honor the countless contributions of Jewish Every child deserves a safe and nurturing home where they can learn, grow, and reach their full potential. Adoption makes that possible by opening the door to stability and belonging for children who need a family. During National Adoption Month, we commend the parents whose love has changed lives and the children whose presence has completed families -- and we recommit to caring for the many children still waiting for the comfort and security of a permanent home.Adoption reflects the deep value our Nation places on family and abundant life. As President, I am committed to empowering families who answer the call to open their hearts and homes to children. Through the One Big Beautiful Bill Act, I made the adoption tax credit more accessible and expanded the child tax credit, helping remove financial barriers to adopting and allowing families to save more of their income to care for their children. While adoption creates beautiful new beginnings, too many children in our foster care system still wait for a permanent home. During my first term, I took monumental action to strengthen America's foster care and adoption systems by signing into law the landmark Family First Prevention Services Act -- the most sweeping reform of Federal child welfare policy in decades. This law utilizes proven intervention methods to keep families intact and prevent unnecessary separation. This term, I remain firmly committed to continuing this vital work alongside First Lady Melania Trump. Just last week, I signed an Executive Order on Fostering the Future for American Children and Families, to harness Federal support, technology, and strategic partnerships to provide young Americans in, or transitioning out of, the foster-care system with the tools they need to become successful adults. This effort is strengthened by the leadership of the First Lady whose work continues to uplift and protect the well-being of America's children -- ensuring every child has greater access to a strong foundation for the future. This month, we recognize the profound truth that all children are a gift from God, worthy of love, care, and family. We honor the parents and families who welcome children into their homes and provide the stability and guidance every young person deserves. Above all, we commit to protecting children, supporting those who care for them, and strengthening the pillar of family across our great Nation. NOW, THEREFORE, I, DONALD J. TRUMP, President of the United States of America, by virtue of the authority vested in me by the Constitution and the laws of the United States, do hereby proclaim November 2025 as National Adoption Month throughout the United States. I encourage all Americans to observe this month by supporting children in need of a safe and loving home, uplifting the families who welcome them, and helping strengthen the bonds of family and community across our Nation. IN WITNESS WHEREOF, I have hereunto set my hand thisseventeenth day of November, in the year of our Lord two thousand twenty-five, and of the Independence of the United States of America the two hundred and fiftieth. DONALD J. TRUMP

If I Were Jewish

by Patrick Mascoe
April 19, 2026

A non-Jewish Canadian teacher asks the questions every Jew struggles to answer.

I’m not Jewish, but if I was, I think the first lesson I would teach my children is that life isn’t fair. How else can a Jewish parent explain to their children the injustice and discrimination they will be forced to face as they grow up? How else can parents answer questions that have no logical answer?

Hey #Mazeldon... I could use some help/advice. How do you deal with uninvited guests to a bar mitzvah? Mrs. David Brent invited some book club friends and one RSVP'd that she and her husband are coming (great!) and so are their three kids ages 4, 7, and 10 (not great).

Then we have the opposite where one of the 13yo's classmates RSVP'd that he's coming (great!) and oh by the way, he's also bringing his mom (not great).

Am I being a Karen? It's not a frat party where you just bring whoever.

The subject came up over on Reddit and I couldn't help but ponder why I don't go to synagogue anymore.

Technically I can right now. My work schedule accommodates me attending a Friday night service. While I find the political aspect of our services grating, I enjoyed myself for the most part the last couple times I attended.

What gets me most is the complete lack of community for young adults. It felt lonely being 20-something in a room full of older adults I could connect to, but not on the same level as someone my age. Dare I say it felt like I was visiting a senior center every week. I guess I'm one of the few Jews in the region who felt that connection at my age, but never found that community outside of online spaces.

Shabbat shalom y'all
