Only one option for Giants now - tank for Arch.

I wrote about the attacks on @jewishmemequeen this week about “playing ball on Shabbat.” They reminded me of similar attacks on @Saul_Sadka about the shape of the Menorah. It’s time for a new climate of internal Jewish debate: blogs.timesofisrael.com/the-… @SaraHirschhorn1

Vital, spot-on analysis and a must read for anyone who actually wants to understand the situation.
As a scholar both of settlements and of antisemitism, I feel uniquely qualified to opine on the UK (and now Canadian and French) ban on settlement goods - a thread 🧵: (1)

Terrific thread as always from the brilliant @AdlerYonatan
Jews in the first century commonly observed the Torah, although the precise details of how they interpreted the Torah differed among Jews. The claim that “rabbinic Judaism” was already the norm in the early first century CE, and that “Jesus lived and taught as a Rabbinic Jew of his time,” is one I strongly disagree with. 🧵1/7

I think Nickel is Steve Novak 2.0 and that could be a game changer @stevenovak16

Why did the USMNT decide to be the Mets tonight

We have been so spoiled by the Knicks that losing a single game feels like losing game 7. We’re still ahead. @BenRitholtzNBA

@wpengine is not letting me cancel our account. Never seen anything like this. Considering litigation. @WPESupport

@StevenACohen2 worth investigating. Bo stood much closer to the front of the batters box with the Jays. 8-10 inches closer, with Mets he’s much farther back. Worth having somebody in the hitting department look into, could be why he’s late on everything.

Brian Sabean or Omar Minaya. Either would be a huge improvement. #mets

Those Brunson left hand-sideways long layups need a name: sidehook. It’s a totally new shot. #knicks

So disappointed. Was a longtime user of WPEngine but had to cancel for a few reasons. Now it’s literally impossible to do so? Doesn’t feel very nice. @asmartbear

So @wpengine literally does not let you cancel your account with them, not really sure what to do at this point. Never seen anything like this.

@StevenACohen2 we need a franchise-shaking trade. Yordan is the one. Piazza 98. That’s what it will take.

Doesn’t someone need to go? How about Snitker? Why not hire someone like Barry Bonds. Although I can’t imagine he knows as much about hitting as Snitker.

@DrDominicGreen outstanding article in the @wsj. Thinking of you and the entire British Jewish community.
