Renee has recently gone through a messy divorce and is now beginning to unwind a bit. So she arranges to meet her friend Esther for coffee. Esther asks, "So, Renee, what are you going to do with your life now that Robert has left it?" "You might not believe this, Esther," replies Renee, "but I want to learn how to save someone's life. I want to put something back into the community. So last month I enrolled on a CPR course." "Mazeltov," says Esther, looking a bit farmisht. " ....... but what exactly is CPR?" "Suppose someone near you suffers a cardiac arrest or collapses with a choking fit," replies Renee. "You might be able to save their life by giving them cardio-pulmonary resuscitation, or CPR for short, until the ambulance arrives." "Oy, this CPR sounds very complicated," says Esther. "I bet it's difficult to learn." "Well I've only been to two classes, but so far it seems quite easy," replies Renee. "And next week certainly won't be a problem for me." "Why not?" asks Esther. "Because we're going to be taught how to breath life into a dummy," replies Renee, "and that's something I had been doing regularly for over 12 years."

Congratulations to @AbdulElSayed on a historic win! As American Jews, we are immensely gratified to witness this historic shift, with politicians clearly seeing us for what we truly are: devout Jews and proud Americans. We are NOT extensions of Israel or proxies for its government. Finally, there are political leaders courageous enough to call out the dangerous conflation between Judaism and Zionism propagated by Zionists. Mazel tov! 🎉
