By MARK SHERMAN WASHINGTON (AP) — The Supreme Court on Monday kept a hold on efforts in Texas and Florida to limit how Facebook, TikTok, X, YouTube and other social media platforms regulate content posted by their users.

From the time that Moses comes on the scene, he is under attack: • When he breaks up a fight between Jews while still in Egypt, one turns to him and says, “Who made you a ruler and judge over us?” (Exodus 2:14). • When it appears to the people that Moses descends from Sinai a bit late, they rebel and build the golden calf (Exodus 32:1). • When Korach and his cohorts challenge Moses’s rule, the attacks culminate.

During World War II thousands of Jewish families in Belgium hid their children in the hopes that they would avoid detection by the Gestapo and ultimately survive the war.

Three eighth-grade students from Donna Klein Jewish Academy were recently recognized by the National Library of Israel for their stirring Yom Ha’atzmaut  poster. The students, Rachael Elisha, Savannah Ferraro and Jonah Klein, placed first in a competition that drew over 180 posters from 16 different countries. The victory brings a $750 prize to DKJA which will be used for an Israel-related program during the 2024-25 school year. Students who participated in the contest had to construct a poster that answered some essential questions: • What role does Israel play in the world? • What role does Israel play in my life? • How does Israel shape my Jewish story? • What values does Israel represent today? • Have these values changed over the years? As part of their submission, the DKJA students wrote about the poster: In Judaics class we were tasked with formulating a poster for Israel’s 76th birthday.
