The way I usually put it is that in Judaism, what exactly happens in the afterlife is a question for mystics to ponder, not laypeople to worry about. It's not that teachings about Gehenna and HaOlam HaBa are inaccessible by any means, but so are Christian teachings about angelology.

Do not be a doomer about this. Just call your New York friends and remind them to vote, and tell them to do the same. He is more popular and will win with good turnout.

i hate to be that bitch, but my sources are telling me this early voting data has gotten Zohran's people rightly spooked and y'all better stop assuming this one's in the bag. GOTV

Voter turnout surges in NYC mayor’s race, with Boomers and Gen X leading the charge

The data so far is good news for independent candidate Andrew Cuomo, a political scientist said.

I would expect better from the Mayor of Michel Delving. Show a bit of hobbit-sense.

My Post headline

Mamdani didn’t tell the whole truth about his hijab-wearing ‘aunt’ who feared for safety post-9/11

The “aunt” who Zohran Mamdani said was too afraid to wear her hijab on the subways after 9/11 was actually his dad’s cousin.

Hey, this Conservative Rabbi is on that Jewish Majority letter twice.

Screenshot showing a search for "Jay Stein" at Jewish Majority dot org. Result 1 of 2 shows that signatory 219 is Rabbi Jay Stein of Dobbs Ferry, New York.

That's a good point. Republicans throw everything at the wall and see what sticks.

For those of us who don't know, should the assumption be "right-wing bullshit"?

Ok, yes, Trump nominee Paul Ingrassia did say, “I do have a Nazi streak in me from time to time, I will admit it."

But, the kid was just 29 years old. Barely able to drive or buy a beer.

There is one impostor among us

A Hanukkah display at Barnes & Noble. On display are a variety of menorahs, menorah candles, menorah-themed gifts, books about Hanukkah, and the New American Haggadah.

There are multiple cases where we're already way over the line, and the correct answer should be (if we had a functioning Congress) impeachment. I just don't think this is one… yet.

Aaron Segal @theaaronsegal.com · 14d

I don't know. Possibly contempt. We're not there yet.

This is different from, e.g., the Abrego case where there was a human that had actually been illegally kidnapped. Here, no money has been misappropriated yet, it's all about threats and contracts. They can't arrest someone on a "what if".
