The New Month Mar Cheshvan (Bitterness) arrives with the return of an American College Cancer: ‘Jewhate’ and its tolerance among the so-called college elites of the Ivy League and their ‘elite colleagues.’
(Note: please have a look at today’s selection of NYT articles and their links — yes, even from the NYT)
Yesterday brought us a new Hebrew month, signaling a new beginning (Chodesh, month / Chadash, new):
Cheshvan — some even suggest Mar Cheshvan—perhaps better understood as a bitter month.
In what should have been a ‘new beginning’ for Higher Education: Our American Academic flagships have managed to skip over simple banality and have now become the newest iteration of a new/old collegiate antisemitism.
For the record, American academic leadership would never deign to allow any type of KKK rhetoric on campus — but a call to Kill the Jews — from the River to the Sea . . . it is now showing as: ‘depends on the context.’ and ‘coverup.’
To our friends and colleagues amongst the DEI and their assorted Quisling colleagues in throughout academia and ensconced in our government . . . .
Of Cabbages and Kings — of DEI and their Quisling colleagues — all appear to be united in one purpose — the elimination of the Jewish presence on American college campuses and of the Jewish Community in the Land of Israel — and, by ‘all means necessary.’
Here the NYT examines internal documents between ‘government actors’, academic Admins, and outside agitators to ‘A new Kumbaya Call to Genocide’ — and no one appears to see it — no one is able to read ‘the writing on the wall’ — Evil appears and all are either blind or illiterate to it . . . . or everyone appears to be so infected by this new/old virus that it becomes indistinguishable from the current state of acceptable Jewhate, and virulent antisemitic racism. Perhaps, now we can begin to see a need “to start from scratch”

Conclusions . . . Beginnings . . . difficulties
This is how the Torah reading concluded yesterday . . . . and for the record the word ‘conclude’ has many meanings.
Genesis, Chapter 6: 1 — Humanity either became Evil or perhaps might it started out that way.
וַֽיְהִי֙ כִּֽי־הֵחֵ֣ל הָֽאָדָ֔ם לָרֹ֖ב עַל־פְּנֵ֣י הָֽאֲדָמָ֑ה וּבָנ֖וֹת יֻלְּד֥וּ לָהֶֽם׃
When humankind began to increase on earth and daughters were born to them,
וַיִּרְא֤וּ בְנֵי־הָֽאֱלֹהִים֙ אֶת־בְּנ֣וֹתהָֽאָדָ֔ם כִּ֥י טֹבֹ֖ת הֵ֑נָּה וַיִּקְח֤וּ לָהֶם֙ נָשִׁ֔ים מִכֹּ֖ל אֲשֶׁ֥ר בָּחָֽרוּ׃
the [males among the] divine beings saw how pleasing the human women were and took wives from among those who delighted them.—
וַיֹּ֣אמֶר יְהֹוָ֗ה לֹֽא־יָד֨וֹן רוּחִ֤י בָֽאָדָם֙ לְעֹלָ֔ם בְּשַׁגַּ֖ם ה֣וּא בָשָׂ֑ר וְהָי֣וּ יָמָ֔יו מֵאָ֥ה וְעֶשְׂרִ֖ים שָׁנָֽ׃
יהוה said, “My breath shall not abide in humankind forever, since it too is flesh; let the days allowed them be one hundred and twenty years.”—
הַנְּפִלִ֞ים הָי֣וּ בָאָ֘רֶץ֮ בַּיָּמִ֣ים הָהֵם֒ וְגַ֣ם אַֽחֲרֵי־כֵ֗ן אֲשֶׁ֨ר יָבֹ֜אוּ בְּנֵ֤י הָֽאֱלֹהִים֙ אֶל־בְּנ֣וֹת הָֽאָדָ֔ם וְיָלְד֖וּ לָהֶ֑ם הֵ֧מָּה הַגִּבֹּרִ֛ים אֲשֶׁ֥ר מֵעוֹלָ֖ם אַנְשֵׁ֥י הַשֵּֽׁם׃ {פ}
It was then, and later too, that the Nephilim appeared on earth—when divine beings cohabited with the human women, who bore them offspring. Such were the heroes of old, the men of renown.
וַיַּ֣רְא יְהֹוָ֔ה כִּ֥י רַבָּ֛ה רָעַ֥ת הָאָדָ֖ם בָּאָ֑רֶץ וְכׇל־יֵ֙צֶר֙ מַחְשְׁבֹ֣ת לִבּ֔וֹ רַ֥ק רַ֖ע כׇּל־הַיּֽוֹם׃
יהוה saw how great was human wickedness on earth—how every plan devised by the human mind was nothing but evil all the time.
וַיִּנָּ֣חֶם יְהֹוָ֔ה כִּֽי־עָשָׂ֥ה אֶת־הָֽאָדָ֖ם בָּאָ֑רֶץ וַיִּתְעַצֵּ֖ב אֶל־לִבּֽוֹ׃
And יהוה regretted having made humankind on earth. With a sorrowful heart,
וַיֹּ֣אמֶר יְהֹוָ֗ה אֶמְחֶ֨ה אֶת־הָאָדָ֤ם אֲשֶׁר־בָּרָ֙אתִי֙ מֵעַל֙ פְּנֵ֣י הָֽאֲדָמָ֔ה מֵֽאָדָם֙ עַד־בְּהֵמָ֔ה עַד־רֶ֖מֶשׂ וְעַד־ע֣וֹף הַשָּׁמָ֑יִם כִּ֥י נִחַ֖מְתִּי כִּ֥י עֲשִׂיתִֽם׃
יהוה said, “I will blot out from the earth humankind whom I created—humans together with beasts, creeping things, and birds of the sky; for I regret that I made them.”
וְנֹ֕חַ מָ֥צָא חֵ֖ן בְּעֵינֵ֥י יְהֹוָֽה׃ {פ}
But Noah נֹ֕חַ found favor חֵ֖ן with יהוה.

Pro-Palestinian Group at Columbia Now Backs Armed Resistance By Hamas
(Those with moral clarity would call this ^ Terror, Murder and Rape of Jews)
Here’s the Headline: Columbia University Apartheid Divest has withdrawn an apology it made last spring for a member who said “Zionists don’t deserve to live.”
Bottom Line: ^ There have been no repercussions.

From the People of the Book and from a People that brought literacy to the Persian Royal Court and their inability to read the ‘writing on the wall’ — some things never change.
I hope to see everyone today. Yes, it is that important.
