Drones such as the Shahed-136s are more effective against such static targets than they are against armies and, for Moscow, the disruptive impact on Ukraine may be greater.

This is certainly not a good thing for Israel. For those who need a refresher- Israel has already had an encounter with the Iranian drones and missiles that Russia operated, and will probably continue to operate, in Ukraine.

It is imperative to vote for a list that will work together. Vote for a list that you know will behave in a statesmanlike manner. Vote for a list that will put the country first, not bend to the personal whims of its leader. Vote for a list that exhibits internal unity and teamwork. Vote for a list that is based on a guiding principle.

In Israeli politics, and especially over the last few chaotic years, we’ve already learned that promises are often meant to be announced with grandiosity before an election, only to prove after the election to have been an inflated performance that was “right at the time,” but now “the good of the nation requires x or y.”

…one has to make some very hard decisions: do I vote for candidate X, knowing that s/he possibly belongs to the other side?

My guiding principle has been “Yes.” If you believe in that person and that person can do good and fight for the changes you want to see, then do it.

Perhaps some on the editorial board meant well, but at a time when antisemitism is soaring in the United States… it’s important to present the full picture and not one that is likely to alienate Jewish students, breed anti-Jewish bigotry and ignite a campus firestorm.

Yes, Wellesley College, the supposed beacon of liberalism, went full-on fascist, calling for the destruction of the one Jewish state. Of course, the editorial doesn’t actually use the word destruction, but anyone with even the tiniest familiarity with the KGB-inspired propaganda called Palestinianism knows that liberation “from the river to the sea” is code for ethnically cleansing Jews from the land of Israel.

The problem is that BDS has stopped being a lever for pressure against the occupation, and has turned into a pseudo-intellectual hothouse for antisemitism of the bad old kind. That hurts more when it comes from those who are supposed to be our allies against the occupation…

The order was vague from the beginning, with no endpoint in sight. There were no real metrics or targets for the state to hit, and Feb. 28 is a completely arbitrary date. The emergency order was a power grab from the start, and Newsom can institute another one whenever he likes.

Moving forward, California will be following the SMARTER plan, which was rolled out earlier this year in February. The plan follows the seven letters in the word “smarter” with S signifying shots, M for masks, A for awareness, R for readiness, T for testing, E for education and R for Rx treatment.

Ending the public health emergency will end expansions to Medicaid and the Supplemental Nutrition Assistance Program (SNAP), the nation’s flagship programs that provide individuals or households with low incomes health insurance and combat hunger, respectively.

The OK hand, lipstick kiss mark, and the delightfully direct poop emoji, were also designated as outdated. The worst offender? The thumbs-up emoji, the universal sign for “all good,” is now ironically considered hostile or rude.

Emojis have become a moving target. The meaning can change, and it’s hard to keep up. Just when I thought a thumbs up was a confirmation of mutual collaboration and agreement, it turns out the symbol is now considered rude and abrasive.

Lifestyle and etiquette expert Elaine Swann — who has done corporate training on the matter — advises the avoidance of emojis all around in the professional world, if only to avoid misinterpretation.

… decades after the war, Lenga has preserved a prewar memory of his mother, Sarah — namely, the beloved recipes she made. Two of her pastry dishes are part of a remarkable new cookbook, “Honey Cake & Latkes: Recipes from the Old World by the Auschwitz-Birkenau Survivors.”

The one common string that connected my Mother’s “fancier” city upbringing in Budapest and my Father’s provincial village life in Debrecen, it was the warmth and beauty of Shabbat. If there was scarcity during the week, there was abundance on Shabbat.

A popular emerging subgenre is the everything-bagel board, which involves spreading a base of cream cheese and topping it with deli-inspired garnishes including capers, smoked salmon, and everything-spice blends, all served with bagel chunks.
