As many CEOs gloat over the idea of replacing their human workers with AI, some of them are now starting to fear that they, too, may be on the chopping block.

Sarna’s mirror custom is one of many that rabbis, educators and Jewish organizations have put forward as Jews seek to use the ritual canvas of the seder as an opportunity to grapple with the Oct. 7 attack, the Israel-Hamas war and the estimated 130 hostages still held captive in Gaza.
The holiday, which begins Monday evening, comes as the war has passed the six-month mark, while Iran’s unprecedented attack on Israel has raised alarm throughout that country and beyond. Meanwhile, there is no immediate prospect on the horizon for the hostages’ release. In response, some of the new rituals add to the seder’s symbolism, while others seek to adapt age-old practices to the present day.
“Something that’s helpful and so beautiful about the seder ritual is this feeling of contextualization of Jewish oppression,” Sarna, a rabbi and educator at the Drisha Institute for Jewish Education in New York City, told the Jewish Telegraphic Agency. The oppression and resistance of Jewish women, she said, “has to be a part of that story.”Jerry Bucknoffflipped into Israel - Eyes Wide OpenThe underlying charge in Verma’s piece is that StopAntisemitism has conflated criticism of Israel with anti-Semitism, but his work betrays the fact that it’s he and his editors who are guilty of such a sin.

Climate change’s economic bite in how much people make is already locked in at about $38 trillion a year by 2049, according to Wednesday’s study in the journal Nature by researchers at Germany’s Potsdam Institute for Climate Impact Research. By 2100 the financial cost could hit twice what previous studies estimate.
This new study looked deeper than past research, examining 1,600 global areas that are smaller than countries, took several climate factors into account and examined how long climate economic shocks last, Kotz said. The study examined past economic impacts on average global domestic product per person and uses computer simulations to look into the future to come up with their detailed calculations.Jerry Bucknoffflipped into Economy WatchThe mother of 23-year-old Israeli-American Hersh Goldberg-Polin, who was taken hostage by Hamas on Oct. 7, is one of nearly a dozen Jews on Time Magazine’s 100 “Most Influential” list, couched among comedians, writers, music producers, athletes, business executives, and politicians.
Since Oct. 7, Rachel Goldberg-Polin has become one of the most prominent and indefatigable voices advocating for the release of Israeli hostages held captive in Gaza. She has attended an audience with Pope Francis, Zoomed with President Joe Biden and spoken at the United Nations, in addition to cultivating a devoted following on social media.Jerry Bucknoffflipped into Israel - Eyes Wide OpenHouse Republicans released the text of three bills Wednesday that would provide aid for Ukraine, Israel and the Indo-Pacific region, with the latter intended to help deter Chinese aggression in the area.

He also suggested that Trump would likely undermine the Federal Reserve’s policy independence, leading “to higher inflation expectations, which would prove self-fulfilling,” and blow out the budget deficit.Jerry Bucknoffflipped into Economy WatchThe Jews are indigenous to the Land of Israel. We are as indigenous to that land as any other people are to theirs. And although many of us are not conscious of it, we consistently represent our indigeneity through our Jewish practice.
Whether it’s circumcision or the mikveh, celebrating Rosh Hashanah or Shavuot, or whether it’s speaking Hebrew or praying for rain in Israel, we represent our connection to the Land of Israel itself.
As we approach Passover next week, it is worth considering it is the festival most observed by Jews around the world, and happens to be one of the most significant expressions of indigeneity. In it, we honor our origin story as a people when we became a nation centered in the Land of Israel as well as the land itself.Jerry Bucknoffflipped into Israel - Eyes Wide OpenTIME said her inclusion in the list was "in recognition of the impact she and her husband Jon Polin...have had in raising global awareness of the hostage crisis."
