When we recited Al HaNisim on Chanukah, we recalled the Hellenists who sought to use their power to make us forget the Torah and abandon our adherence to its laws. While no one is passing laws banning the practice of Judaism, those who seek to undermine our Torah institutions and our community are hard at work.

The first time classified documents were found in Joe Biden’s possession, it was funny.  The second time, it was ridiculous.  The third time, it is infuriating.  Joe Biden is guilty of everything the Democrats have been accusing Donald Trump of, except he didn’t have the excuse of being President when the documents were taken.

For the dozens remaining who actually pay attention to The New York Times, there was a particular trend in stories that they were going for: the problems in the chasidic community in New York.

Since taking full control of the state in 2019, New York Democrats have gone full throttle in turning the Empire State into a doppelganger of California - only with fewer beaches. The result is rising crime, the highest per capita taxes, the highest per student spending, and a massive exodus of residents from our state.  The number of Socialists in the Democratic Party is rising, so there is little chance of the party slowing down.

While the hospital and emergency care system in New York still faces staff shortages, Governor Kathy Hochul has dug in her heels over keeping countless healthcare workers unemployed over their vaccination status.  This would have been somewhat understandable several years ago, but her ignorance regarding Covid is mind-boggling considering her position as head of one of the largest states in the country.
