Ashkenazic Approach Many Ashkenazic yeshiva students wear their tzitzit out, in line with the Mishna Beruras (8:26) powerful exhortation to do so. The Chafetz Chaim famously writes: Those men who tuck their tzitzit in their pants, not only are they ignoring the Torahs direction ureitem oto, you should see the tzitzit and thereby recall all the mitzvot (Bamidbar 15:39), they are degrading Hashems mitzvot and will be held accountable by Hashem for having done so!! The Mishna Berura writes that if one received a special garment from the king with the latters name carved in it, he would proudly display it at all times. How much more so should we show the garment of the King of all Kings, Whose Holy Name is alluded to in the tying of the tzitzit! The Aruch Hashulhan (Orah Haim 8:17), while using milder language, expresses a similar sentiment

Decades ago, when the performer Caryn Johnson decided her name wasnt interesting enough and dubbed herself Whoopi Goldberg instead, it wasnt because Goldberg signified whiteness. Through the years, shes offered many weird and contradictory explanations for her change in moniker, but it might have seemed at the time that a black person sporting the surname Goldberg would be especially eye-catching and noteworthy (especially in conjunction with that wild first name) because it would represent the proud ownership of her outsider status.

To say that the hostage situation at Congregation Beth Israel in Colleyville, Texas, was, a terrorism-related incident, as the FBI did, and not an act of antisemitism, is ludicrous. But the media ran with it, and after both the FBI and the media backed off, they turned the story into why, months earlier, Rabbi Charlie Cytron-Walker got a letter telling him that his contract would not be renewed at the end of his term.

Jewish intergenerational trauma has become a phrase widely used by Jewish activists worldwide. Its no secret that mental illness including anxiety, depression, and obsessive control disease (OCD) are issues that our community faces. This isnt to feed into the stereotype of the neurotic Jew that is often portrayed in media but is to call out a phenomenon that has been occurring within the Jewish community, even before the Holocaust occurred.
