We received these images from Ramez, a protest organizer in Gaza. They’re part of an initiative in a campaign by the Gazan Youth Committee, in which activists hold photos of Israeli children killed on October 7th and after, inspired by the silent vigils held by Israeli activists. (1/4)

For my research on Jewish names of pets, I'm looking for anecdotal data on pets' names in *other* communities, like a Mexican-American friend who named her dog Oso (Spanish "bear"). Do you know anyone who gave their pet a name from Korean, Greek, Tagalog, etc.? #onomastics

In Philadelphia in 2000-04, I enjoyed Marty Moss-Coane's NPR show Radio Times. The theme music was from Paul Simon's Rhythm of the Saints. 10 points to the first person to name that song. That album is today's #MusicMonday. Love the Brazilian percussion, pleasant guitar, and harmonies.

Love Trump or hate him, all Jews should object to his appropriation of 'Shalom' - Jewish Telegraphic Agency

#MusicMonday - Chicago's second album (1970). Love the horns. I don't love their '80s albums, but this is a go-to.
