@rabbiwildes shares how Democratic politicians privately rejected accusations of genocide against Israel in conversations with him, yet refused to say so publicly. In stark contrast, CAROLINE SHINKLE has publicly and consistently stated for over three years that Israel did NOT commit a genocide. Vote moral clarity, vote @therealcarolineshinkle 🇺🇸🇮🇱

This one is a little longer than I usually like—but I have a lot to say. Please stick with me.

“Two Jews, three opinions.” I’ve always appreciated that about us. But that doesn’t mean I have to stay silent when I believe some of our own are helping to vilify Israel.

Disagreement is one thing. Suicidal empathy is another.

Thanks to @edworkforcecmte for their fierce commitment to eliminating antisemitism in our K-12 schools. Thanks to our partners at @camera4truth @endjewhatred @pensforswords2026 @jewishphilly @adl_philly @navivalues @standwithus for their unyielding dedication to protect our community with the brightest light to eliminate the darkness. May our Jewish students, teachers and administrators benefit to the fullest by freely maintaining their identities in and around our schools.

We talk a lot about cultural competency in mental health. But how much do we actually know about Jewish identity?

Because being Jewish is so much more than religion. Jewish trauma didn’t begin with the Holocaust, and antisemitism certainly didn’t end there.

And right now, some Jewish clients are walking into therapy wondering whether they can even talk openly about what they’re experiencing.

Will they be understood? Dismissed? Judged? Will their identity become a political conversation instead of being met with curiosity and compassion?

Think about that. The very place someone goes to feel safe and understood can become another place where they feel they have to explain or defend who they are.

Jewish clients deserve better.

And that’s why Jen and I created this training.

What They Didn’t Teach You in Grad School: Jewish Cultural Competency — Working with Jewish Clients

November 5, 2026
12 PM ET / 11 AM CT
Live on Zoom

Open to Jewish and non-Jewish mental health professionals.

Can’t attend live? All registered participants will receive a recording afterward. The Q&A will not be recorded.

Register through the link in our bio.

Cultural humility isn’t about knowing everything. It’s about being willing to learn, ask questions, and recognize what we might be missing.

What do you wish you had learned about Jewish identity in grad school?

This is it.
The proof of the manuscript!

Making final edits.
But the heart of it is here:

The Facts Are On Our Side
A handbook for defending the truth about Israel and the Jewish people.

It will be ready for everyone in November.

Just in time for Thanksgiving… when your uncle starts “just asking questions” and your cousin suddenly becomes an expert on the Middle East.

Bring this instead of the pie.
You’ll thank me later.

🚨 GWU’S INCLUSION?
JEWISH STUDENTS ARE STILL WAITING TO SEE IT.
Three years after October 7, why are Jewish students still fighting for their grief, identity, and safety to be taken and recognized as seriously as everyone else’s?

In a March 2025 exchange, Sen. Josh Hawley questioned Maya Berry, executive director of the Arab American Institute, a civil rights advocacy organization representing Arab American interests, about the illuminations projected onto GWU’s Gelman Library.
The exchange raises a question GWU cannot keep dodging: When Jewish students are concerned, why does the conversation so often shift to context or silence? instead of confronting the impact?
LOOK AT GWU’S OWN DOUBLE STANDARD.
SGA publicly posts about a film it believed perpetuated Islamophobia. Yet on the October 7 anniversary, as Jewish students gathered to mourn the victims of Hamas’s attack on Israel, a separate student led pro-Palestinian rally challenging GW’s ties to Israel took place.
The rally’s timing minimized Jewish students’ mourning and grief out of the spotlight on the very day their community was remembering the dead.
ONE WEEK LATER: SGA went silent speaking up for Jewish safety and the deliberate counter-student-led rally to minimize Jewish feelings & grief.

IS THIS THE STANDARD GWU IS TEACHING ITS STUDENTS?
Where is the leadership? Where is the consistency? Where is the accountability?
Jewish students are also a minority identity, yet they are not treated as such. They should not have to fight for the same dignity, recognition, and consideration extended to other communities.
GWU CANNOT CLAIM TO CHAMPION INCLUSION WHILE LEAVING JEWISH STUDENTS ASKING WHETHER THEY COUNT.

WE CONTINUE TO ONLY SEE SELECTIVE EMPATHY OR SPLIT EMPATHY/DIVERSIONS AND LOTS OF “ANDS.......” EXHIBITED BY THE VERY GROUPS AND SPACES THAT CLAIM “INCLUSION.”
WHEN IT COMES TO JEWISH STUDENTS AND IDENTITY AND PERCEIVED HATE AND HARM TO SAFETY, IT IS ALWAYS AN “AND OR A BUT OR ALSO...........”

🚨 NYC PARENTS: PLEASE PAY ATTENTION
Parents and concerned taxpayers should consider filing a complaint with the NYC Conflicts of Interest Board (COIB) and asking for an investigation into Sari Rosenberg, a high school Social Studies teacher at Environmental Studies and a political/social-media influencer.
The concern is simple: Is she using an NYCPS classroom, City time, school technology, or other taxpayer-funded resources for personal political activity?
This is not about her political beliefs. The concern is whether she is using her position and NYCPS resources to promote political views to students or create political content.
Several NYC rules may be relevant, including:
• Chancellor’s Regulation C-110 — addresses political activity by DOE employees, including activity on DOE property or during DOE time.
• Chancellor’s Regulation D-130 — addresses political activity involving schools and school facilities.
• NYC COIB Rule §1-13 — restricts the use of City time and City resources for non-City purposes, including political activity.
The questions are straightforward:
Was the content created during school hours? Was an NYCPS classroom or technology used? Was the use authorized? Were students exposed to or involved in the political activity?
📢 If you have reviewed the evidence and share these concerns, consider filing your own good-faith complaint with COIB and asking them to investigate.
Public school resources belong to the public. The rules should apply to everyone. : Contact the COIB Annual Disclosure Help Desk at 212-437-0739 To report

06:29 // לעולם לא עוד

The pendulum stopped.
The hands remember the exact second.
Never again is not a promise.
It is a command.

LOG ENTRY 📐 A minimalist and high-contrast brutalist political poster on a solid muted cream archive background. In the upper center, a heavy, solid black circle forms the face of a clock, heavily textured with fine analog film dust and scratches. The clock features white Roman numerals along its perimeter, except for the numeral six at the bottom, which is rendered as a distinct red oxide "VI". The clock hands are white, with a single sharp, blade-like minute hand frozen precisely at 6:29. Extending vertically downwards from the bottom of the black circle is a rigid, geometric black pendulum rod, remaining perfectly straight and still. At the bottom of the canvas, the Hebrew phrase "לעולם לא עוד" (Never Again) is typeset in a bold, square, black sans-serif display typeface, with the final letter "ד" on the far left highlighted in solid red oxide, forcing the correct right-to-left reading flow.

🚨‼️What happens when an NYC public school math teacher repeatedly posts hateful, discriminatory messages about Jews and Israel?
Meet Maysa Jarara, a math teacher at Park Slope Collegiate whose public posts raise serious concerns about antisemitism and the messages being spread by someone entrusted to educate our children.
Our students deserve educators who teach math, not hate.
📢 NYCPS and DOE leadership: Investigate these posts. Hold educators accountable. Stop allowing antisemitism to go unchecked in our schools.
Parents, speak up! Document what you see, demand answers, and share this post. Our children deserve safe schools free from hate. Silence is not an option. You can call 718-935-3320 to ask about filing a complaint or call the school to share your concerns with the principal- Park Slope Collegiate School

You heard about ICE. Did you hear about Nathaly Ramirez, Martin Marquez, and Jihad Pack?

Three lives taken. Three families shattered. If you’re outraged about ICE but never heard their names, ask yourself why. Question the narratives being shoved down your throat in NYC every day.

This is a painted table at my granddaughter’s preschool. I think it is so beautiful. You have to go by guards to get into the school. But once you’re inside, it is such a joyful place filled with creativity and love. 💙
