The Simon Wiesenthal Center sponsors the Museum of Tolerance on East 42^nd Street in New York City. The museum is dedicated to teaching the importance of tolerance – that is, the evils of bigotry against all races, religions, and ethnic groups. I have never visited the museum, but it has a fine reputation for living up to its mission.

It is incomprehensible. Within the space of about ten days, America has undergone two horrific mass murders. On Saturday, May 14, a white supremacist gunned down ten Black people in a supermarket in Buffalo, New York. Then, on Tuesday, May 24, a crazed 18-year-old Hispanic kills 19 children and two teachers at Robb Elementary school in Uvalde, Texas.

This article will be very short. The reason for the brevity is because a picture is worth a thousand words.

Chareidi publications in recent years have become a class act. Although the fact that they print no pictures of women may be irksome to some, they nonetheless are written with the highest degree of professionalism.

I was at the Celebrate Israel Parade this past Sunday, as I’m sure many readers were. Naturally, I took quite a few pictures. My pictures include Mayor Eric Adams, who despite whatever his record as mayor might be, has always been a friend of the Jewish community. There was Curtis Sliwa, another friend, and Rudy Giuliani. I did not see Senator Charles Schumer. That’s good (although it’s possible I missed him).

A few years ago, I wrote an article “How Crazy Are We?” In the article, I questioned those Jews on the liberal left for constantly battling Donald Trump by nastily protesting his immigration policies and just about everything else he stood for.
