On May 26th, the IDF used precision munitions to kill two senior Hamas militants. Unfortunately, Gazan civilians also died as a result of a secondary explosion in a Hamas munitions depot.
Yet again, as always, the world news immediately reported a number of 25+, 35+, or 45+ deaths as data given by the Hamas-run Health Ministry. And soon, the news agencies will walk back the source of the fire that caused the deaths.
Joseph’s Inkwell is a writing contest for Jewish teens (created by Jewish teens) with a $500 prize. It's always been a struggle for young people to get published and for young Jews right now it's more difficult than ever. Joseph’s Inkwell creates a space for our voices to be heard. Jewish students can send in submissions to one of two categories (either fiction or nonfiction) by August 1st, 2024.
This contest is not limited to Temple Emanu-El kids, so if you want to let others know about this amazing opportunity, that would be appreciated.
