At a Manhattan synagogue event titled "Whats Left for Progressive Jews," normie pro-Israel liberals faced a changing landscape where pro-Palestinian demonstrators challenge Zionism, leaving progressives critical of Israel's government but wary of rejecting Israel's legitimacy.

Ruth Messinger, an 83-year-old woman, recently celebrated her second bat mitzvah at a Reconstructionist synagogue in New York.

Ruth Messinger, known as the "Jewish Madonna of human rights," has played a significant role in mobilizing the American Jewish community through the American Jewish World Service (AJWS) to address crises like the Darfur genocide.

Ruth Messinger and her granddaughter, Francesca Sternfeld, share a home in New York City, finding joy and support in their intergenerational living arrangement.
