There might not be anything on the ballot that captures headlines in the way “Wisconsin vs. Musk” did in April, but there are still consequential elections taking place in the U.S. @taniel and Alex Burness of @bolts break down who can vote for what this month. It’s almost all local — mayoral races, school boards and ballot measures — and local elections matter.

"More than 40 years after the death of Chaim Grade – whom Elie Wiesel called “one of the great, if not the greatest, contemporary #Yiddish #novelists” – an English #translation by Rose Waldman of Grade’s final, unfinished work has been published.

Born in #Vilna, #Lithuania, Grade resettled in #NewYork after his wife and mother were murdered during the Holocaust. The #author of The Yeshiva, The Agunah, and Rabbis and Wives, among other #books, Grade wrote a series of #stories in the 1960s and ’70s that appeared in Yiddish #newspapers. He was converting them into a #novel when he died in 1982."

Jewish on Jewish violence:

A fascist zionist mob in New York violently attacked pro Palestine activists last week, including many Jews and Israelis, who were protesting a speech by Israeli National Security Minister Itamar Ben-Gvir.

They shouted death to Arabs, and attacked people with bricks. The police largely stood by and allowed it.

“I’ve never seen violence like this by Jews against other Jews.” one demonstrator, told Haaretz, “It was Jews attacking Jews—and they [the New York Police Department] let it happen.”

Ben-Gvir is an open advocate of genocide in Gaza and the complete expulsion of Palestinians.
