I have been asked by a number of people to share my thoughts on school openings in the face of the coronavirus pandemic. This is a very challenging and complex subject. Like so much of this trying and unprecedented time, nothing is simple and straightforward. There are no quick fixes or unequivocal paths. Unfortunately, whether we want to admit it or not, we are learning as we go. SARS-CoV2 is a wily and formidable foe. Recriminations and blame are not appropriate at this time. Political leaders can only do so much.

President Trump remains the greatest ally Israel and the Jewish people have ever had in the White House. In stark contrast, the Ayatollahs of Iran represent one of the most devious and dangerous regimes on Earth. They are not just ideological adversaries—they are the architects of terrorism through their proxies: Hamas, Hezbollah, and the Houthis. They’ve fueled unrest on American college campuses and across the globe, all under the guise of “resistance.”

President Donald Trump reached his 100th day of his second term on April 29, 2025, with a series of bold accomplishments. On May 1, I had the privilege of hearing the President speak at the White House Rose Garden during America’s National Day of Prayer, attended by most of the Cabinet.

On September 20 ,2024, at a gathering in Washington, D.C. entitled, “Fighting Anti-Semitism in America,” President Trump said, “You have a big protector in me.” In the first 60 days of his second term, he has fulfilled his campaign pledge in an unprecedented fashion. With the arrest of Mahmoud Khalil, the pro-Hamas Columbia University protester, the President has made good on his promise to crack down on the out of control demonstrations taking over college campuses in America.
