68 teams in this tournament and only three of them have Jewish head coaches. Two of the three punched their tickets to the Final Four today and the other can do it tomorrow. I'm verklempt. And Lindsay Gottlieb and USC advanced to the Elite 8 on the women's side. No wonder UNLV hired Josh Pastner.

Mohammad Sinwar is having trouble cementing control over Hamas Gaza. According to Israeli sources he is far weaker in ever way than his brother. Hes only communicating through notes, slowing communications down and won’t leave the tunnels for fear of assassination.

Mike DeWine, Susan Collins, and Lisa Murkowski should all be taking a hard look in the mirror and asking themselves what role they want to play at this moment. They could pull the country and and the world back from the abyss.
