Despite his pivot on Gaza, “[Scott] Wiener’s critics say they’re not willing to forget the state senator’s past record.” @alexbkane reports for our News Desk: jewishcurrents.org/scott-wie…
Scott Wiener, a congressional candidate in San Francisco, faced criticism when he changed course and called Israel’s bombing of Gaza a genocide. But even as he alienated his allies, Wiener, a liberal Zionist, failed to win over his pro-Palestine critics.

"Not long after the death of my mother in the fall of 2022, I set myself the task of writing a story every day." Read an exclusive excerpt from @BenEhrenreich's new book ‘Hold Still,’ up on our site now. jewishcurrents.org/hold-stil…

New on our site: An excerpt from Ben Ehrenreich's ‘Hold Still.’ Like the book as a whole, the excerpt takes the form of stories—some fictional, some nonfiction—written, he writes, as a way of saying kaddish.
