A 63-year-old congregant at one of New York City's most prominent synagogues posted photos of her bloodied face and a defiant message hours after a man allegedly attacked her during Friday night prayers, and Israel's consul general laid blame squarely on Mayor Zohran Mamdani. Michele Anenberg-Poma, a former Disney creative marketing executive, was struck during Shabbat services at Central Synagogue on Manhattan's Upper East Side after a 46-year-old Bronx man allegedly stormed toward the front of the sanctuary, shouted "F, k the Jews," called worshippers "swine," and broke two religious candles valued at $20,000.

AI:A 63-year-old congregant, Michele Anenberg-Poma, was violently assaulted during Shabbat services at Manhattan's Central Synagogue by Larry Montes, a man with a lengthy criminal history of violence and theft. During the attack, Montes allegedly shouted antisemitic slurs, including "F*** the Jews," destroyed $20,000 worth of religious candles, and headbutted a security guard. Despite the gravity of these hate crimes, a judge set Montes's bail at only $10,000, significantly lower than what prosecutors requested. Amidst rising antisemitism in New York City, Israel's consul general has blamed Mayor Zohran Mamdani for creating a climate that emboldens such attackers through his rhetoric.

Abulhawa announced the expanded partnership in a defiant video, mocking Jewish writers and editors who had spoken out against her earlier deal with the publishing giant. "The Zionists have missed or don't know, but Simon & Schuster will also be publishing my new novel," she said, adding that "Zionists are really mad." The video included digitally altered footage of her critics, set to foreboding music. Among those targeted: Eliana Johnson, editor in chief of the Washington Free Beacon, and John Podhoretz, editor of Commentary. A Simon &…Open
AI:Simon & Schuster has doubled down on its partnership with Susan Abulhawa, an author whose track record includes labeling Jewish people as "demons" and openly praising the Hamas terrorist attacks. Instead of taking a stand for basic human decency, this major publishing house is rewarding hateful rhetoric. In a move that can only be described as a slap in the face to common sense, Abulhawa has responded to public criticism by releasing a defiant video mocking Jewish writers and editors. The mainstream media's silence on this blatant endorsement of antisemitism allows these radical elements to thrive under the guise of "literature." It is a complete failure of editorial integrity that prioritizes political correctness over fundamental moral…Open

Driving the news: The front doorways of many synagogues are becoming both a place of welcome and a security checkpoint — a sign of how antisemitism is reshaping Jewish life in America. - The traditional practice of hiring a guard for High Holy Days services, installing cameras and calling police if something happens, is giving way to more complex, layered security systems. - "It doesn't mean that we're ninjas ... [or] law enforcement officers, but everybody can have a role to play," said Rusty Rosenthal, a retired FBI agent who leads JShield, the Jewish…
