    Today Jews were murdered and terrorized on the last day of Passover, exactly six months after the Tree of Life shooting. We stand with the victims, and with victims of hatred and violence in every community.

    The mug for a bris, a shiva, a long line at Zabar's, a protracted and infuriating call with your insurance provider. This isn't an endorsement of anything other than sitting Like This. jewish-currents.myshopify.com/products/the-z…

    Uncut Gems is the most explicitly Jewish mainstream movie in years. The Jewish Currents editorial staff convened an emergency meeting to discuss what it says about contemporary Jewish identity.

    This past weekend, Dr. Hammam Alloh—a nephrologist at Al-Shifa Hospital, who contributed a dispatch about conditions in Gaza two weeks ago—was killed in his home by an Israeli airstrike. Read his words here: jewishcurrents.org/we-have-lost-t…
    This is not the medicine I thought I would be practicing. I always wanted to progress in my field—to learn more, to teach more. In Gaza, I haven’t been able to do that. I hope to raise my kids to be ambitious—not to think about war, missiles, rockets. Every day, I see a fear in their eyes that I can’t do much about. It’s very painful. If you have kids, you know how horrible it is not to be able to comfort them, to ensure they are alright, to make them hope for anything beyond living one more day. We want to live freely like other people—to grow scientifically and economically, to walk in the street without fearing bombardments, to make plans. We want to be able to learn, think, grow, travel, dream—to feel like we are really human. Not to think only about meeting our basic needs. This is what life has always been about for us, and now—I want the world to know—we are being eradicated en masse. This is not what life should look like.

    Today Trump is expected to sign an executive order redefining Jews under Title VI in order to quash criticism of Israel on college campuses. Besides unnerving many Jews, this move targets Palestinians and their allies and undermines free speech. A thread of our recent coverage:

    The flotilla carrying Jewish Currents reporter @vv1lder has been captured by the Israeli military. Please contact Emily's senators and representatives—Adam Schiff, Alex Padilla, and Jimmy Gomez—and urge them to advocate for her safe release from Israeli detention.

    Jewish Currents condemns Israel’s targeting of Palestinian journalists in the strongest terms, and calls upon every media institution in the United States to do the same. Here's our statement on the recent Israeli threats against six Al Jazeera journalists reporting from Gaza.
