Among the most interesting house races is the new 40th district anchored in Orange County. Young Kim, a Republican who flipped the district in 2020, got a slightly safer seat in redistricting this year. But safer seats often come with the unfortunate side effect of primary challengers from the right.

Democrats four years ago cut the Republicans in half from 14 seats to seven seats, Republicans recouped a little bit two years ago. But since then, the districts have all been changed because of redistricting. And in that change, it sets up a number of competitive congressional races.

Caruso – the Republican shopping mall magnate turned Democratic mayoral candidate – has been traveling the city… At a moment when Angelenos are unnerved by the rise in violent crime and eager to reclaim trash-strewn public spaces, the simplicity of that argument has found an audience. Caruso has surged to the top of the polls in the mayoral race by presenting himself as an optimistic Mr. Fix-it.

I worry that making public photos of obliterated children will motivate others to see how much damage they can cause, will normalize unthinkable violence, and will be used in a hateful way, against the families of the dead or as threats to others. Rather, I would look for photographs that won’t make people turn away, that will hold their gaze.

“For a culture so steeped in violence, we spend a lot of time preventing anyone from actually seeing that violence,” Ms. Berman said. “Something else is going on here, and I’m not sure it’s just that we’re trying to be sensitive.”

It’s a proposal that comes from a deep well of frustration — and it’s being offered by people who want nothing more than to end gun violence. But this is a truly terrible idea that will change few minds and risks traumatizing those who already understand the devastation caused by American gun culture.

The coalition will never be the same after Monday’s vote… the failed vote on the bill seeking to ensure Israeli jurisdiction over settlers in Judea and Samaria, Monday’s vote upended any chance of optimism.

There is very little love left within this unhappy coalition, but the fear of being blamed by voters for its downfall and facilitating a Netanyahu comeback may keep it together for a while yet.

A government that cannot do something as basic as ensure the continued laws that regulate the rights and duties of Israeli civilians over the Green Line, is a government that needs to question its existence.

Such attacks must be first identified by the police as “possibly antisemitic” – or as a “hate crime” for non-Jewish victims… It should be then the responsability of the Investigating Magistrate to determine whether the murder was engendered by group hatred – thus aggravating the nature of the crime and the consequent penalty – or not.

The Hadjaj investigation will hopefully throw much-needed light on how anti-Semitic ideology is transmitted in France, on social media, through personal interactions, in the mosques and in workplaces. Doing so would show how anti-Semitic ideas animate violence.

The decision comes after campaigning Jewish lawyers had uncovered a number of allegedly antisemitic tweets posted by the 51-year-old neighbour in recent years and sent them to police.

It’s time for Jews to stop coping with the “white privilege” canard by seeking to carve out their own protected intersectional niche. They need to worry less about the noses… and more about those who are actually spreading hate and seeking to delegitimize Jewish rights in the name of the same woke ideology others are vainly mimicking with their absurd claims of “Jew face.”

Don’t give non-Jewish actors a fake nose to play Jews.

This stereotype leans into Nazi race science on what Jews look like, centuries of hooked nose imagery, and propaganda made to dehumanize Jewish people!

There’s no reason to believe that the decision to wear a fake nose is a deliberately antisemitic act. Cooper is presumably interested in exploring the life of a great composer whom he admires. A number of Jews are involved in the production. And the prosthesis arguably helps with the resemblance.

Kebab originated in the medieval kitchens of Persia and Anatolia. It is a staple in the cuisines of the Middle East and North Africa. Traditionally made with ground lamb, each region added their unique combination of spices. Our more modern recipe calls for ground beef along with the finely minced onion and fresh chopped Italian parsley that keep the kebab moist.

Israeli barbecue includes exotic spices commonly used in Middle Eastern cooking, such as cumin, paprika, turmeric, sumac, and za’atar. Instead of ketchup and mustard you will find tahini and harissa. Instead of hot dog and burger buns you will find pita and laffa.

In its new exhibition, “I’ll Have What She’s Having: The Jewish Deli,” the Skirball Cultural Center celebrates the delicatessen’s rich history, culture and legacy.

Co-curated by Skirball curators Cate Thurston and Laura Mart, with renowned writer and producer Lara Rabinovitch, a specialist in immigrant food cultures, “I’ll Have What She’s Having: The Jewish Deli” is joyous, communal and nostalgic.
