Deborah Rogers+FollowDo You Check Your Horoscope? You’re Not Alone!Did you know that 1 in 4 American Jewish adults check astrology or horoscopes at least once or twice a year? A new Pew survey found that 18% of Jews believe in astrology, compared to 27% of the general U.S. population. While astrology isn’t a core part of Jewish tradition, it’s popping up more in Jewish spaces—like At the Well’s Zodiac-inspired wellness work and J. newspaper’s “Astrolojew” column. The survey also found that 11% of Jews use tarot cards, and 4% visit fortune tellers occasionally. Most people say it’s just for fun (19%), while 8% look for helpful insights. Only 5% said they rely on these practices even a little for big decisions, and no one said they rely on them a lot. Are you into astrology, tarot, or just reading for fun?

Lindsey Medina+FollowWWII Vets Honored in the Most Heartfelt WayDid you see how the Jewish community in Russia marked 80 years since WWII? Instead of just parades, they did something super touching: house visits to surviving Jewish veterans, bringing gifts and making sure their needs are met. The most moving part? A 100-year-old vet put on tefillin for the first time ever during his Bar Mitzvah! Talk about honoring real heroes in the most personal way possible. #WWIIHeroes #JewishCommunity #NeverForget #ActsOfKindness #HistoryMatters #Culture490Share
Charles Richardson+FollowCampus Protests Stir Chilling MemoriesA Holocaust survivor told the Senate that today’s anti-Israel campus protests feel eerily similar to the hate he saw before the Holocaust. Jewish seniors are feeling retraumatized, with over half worried about rising antisemitism. Lawmakers and experts are calling for more protections for Jewish students and institutions, including tougher campus rules and more security funding. It’s wild (and scary) that history feels like it’s repeating itself for so many people right now. #Antisemitism #CampusProtests #HistoryRepeats #JewishCommunity #SpeakUp #Education180Share
