During Jewish American Heritage Month, JEXIT honor

During Jewish American Heritage Month, JEXIT honors Jerry Weintraub, whose role was instrumental in making Operation Soloman happen. ✈️
In a secret mission in 1991, Israel airlifted 14,325 Ethiopian Jews in a series of 35 flights from #Ethiopia to #Israel.🇪🇹 Operation Solomon lasted 36 hours and was carried out from May 24th - May 25th. They were descendants of Jews who were taken from their homeland in the 8th Century BCE and had been waiting 2700 years to return home - to Israel. 🇮🇱
Weintraub was a major contributor to numerous charities, and in 1988, the American Friends of the Hebrew University gave Weintraub and his wife, Jane, the Scopus Award in gratitude for their support. He was also a major supporter of #Chabad and was close with the Lubavitcher Rebbe.
🧿
Weintraub was heavily involved in trying to stop the ongoing genocide taking place in #Darfur in 2007. Weintraub cofounded the nonprofit organization, Not On Our Watch, dedicated to preventing mass killings in Darfur and other areas of the world and raised $9.3 million to aid their relief efforts.
🙏🏻
Over his life, Weintraub has quietly donated millions to #charities and #nonprofits he cared about. Weintraub said: "I don't believe that you can't make anything happen. I think if something's good and you believe it, and you care about it, and you give it love and nurture it, its going to happen."

Dr. Jonas Edward Salk — Born in New York City to

Dr. Jonas Edward Salk — Born in New York City to Lithuanian Jewish parents, he enrolled into the City College of New York at the age of fifteen, going on to New York University School of Medicine, where he was Alpha Omega Alpha. After a physician scientist internship at Mount Sinai Hospital, Salk was granted a fellowship at the University of Michigan, studying flu viruses with his mentor Thomas Francis Jr., the first to isolate influenza virus in the U.S., taking part in the development of its vaccines.
🔬
Salk secured his own research lab at the University of Pittsburgh, successfully soliciting grants from the Mellon family to fund it. By the time his vaccine was released in 1955, Polio was considered among the gravest public health threats to world. With most of its victims being children, scientists were in a frantic race to find a way to prevent or cure the disease.
🧪
Salk was hailed as a "miracle worker" upon his vaccine success, and the day almost became a national holiday. When asked "Who owns this patent?", Salk replied, "Well, the people I would say. There is no patent. Could you patent the sun?" The vaccine is calculated to be worth $7 billion had it been patented. 💉
Salk was the honored guest of Prime Minister David Ben Gurion during an official 10-day visit to Israel, and was awarded the Presidential Medal of Freedom in 1977. Salk was one of the only living scientists whose face was known the world over. 🔬

Louis Dembitz Brandeis — born in Louisville, KY

Louis Dembitz Brandeis — born in Louisville, KY in 1856 to Jewish immigrant parents. He graduated from Harvard Law School at the age of 20, with what is widely rumored to be the highest-grade average in the law school's history. 📚
Brandeis devoted most of his time to public and social causes and was dubbed the "People's Lawyer". Among his notable early cases were actions fighting railroad monopolies, defending workplace and labor laws, and helping to create the Federal Reserve System and new Federal Trade Commission. His "Brandeis Brief", which relied on expert testimony from people in other professions to support his case, set a new precedent in evidence presentation.
⚖️
Referred to in publications as the “Robin Hood of Law”, Brandeis helped develop the "right to privacy" concept, and in 1916 was nominated to the Supreme Court by President Woodrow Wilson, becoming the court’s first Jewish justice.
Brandeis is considered a titanic figure in American law and a historic leader in American Zionism.
✡️ As the President of the Provisional Executive Committee for Zionist Affairs in New York, he was the face of American Zionism. His life is perhaps the personification of his assertion that, “there is no inconsistency between loyalty to America and loyalty to Jewry.”
Brandeis retired from the court in 1939 and passed away in 1941, and is buried at the Brandeis School of Law in his hometown of Louisville, KY. 🙏🏻

Rabbi Abraham Joshua Heschel — One of the leadin

Rabbi Abraham Joshua Heschel — One of the leading Jewish philosophers of the 20th century and a leading figure in the Civil Rights Movement. He is widely remembered for his association and friendship with Martin Luther King Jr., including participating prominently in the Selma Civil Rights March of 1965. Heschel, presented the ‘Judaism and World Peace Award’ to Martin Luther King Jr., December 7, 1965. ✌🏼
Born in 1907 in Poland, he escaped to America in 1940, but much of his immediate family was tragically murdered by the Nazis. A professor at the Jewish Theological Seminary and prolific author, Heschel was considered one of the great minds of Jewish mysticism, ethics, and theology. Heschel believed the message of the Biblical Prophets demanded action in support of the fight for civil rights for all Americans. 🇺🇸
In the early 1960’s, Heschel served as the representative of American Jewry to the pivotal Second Vatican Council. Heschel persuaded the Catholic Church to eliminate or modify passages in its liturgy that demeaned the Jews, or referred to an expected conversion to Christianity. His theological works argued that religious experience is a fundamentally human impulse, not just a Jewish one. He believed that no religious community could claim a monopoly on religious truth. ✡️
Heschel famously said: “The opposite of good is not evil,” he said, “it is indifference.” For these and other reasons, Martin Luther King, Jr. called Heschel "a truly great prophet. 🙏🏻

Milton Friedman — A Nobel Prize recipient and co

Milton Friedman — A Nobel Prize recipient and considered one of the great American economists of the 20th century, Friedman was born in Brooklyn as the son of Hungarian Jewish immigrants. Throughout his illustrious career, he was associated with many of the finest institutions of economic theory and higher learning in the world, including Columbia University, University of Chicago, University of Cambrigde, the Hoover Institute and the U.S. Treasury Department.
📚
His 1962 work “Capitalism and Freedom” championed free markets and liberty and catapulted him to international recognition. He received a Nobel Prize in 1976 for his achievements in the fields of consumption analysis, monetary history and theory and for his demonstration of the complexity of stabilization policy.
In 1988, Friedman received the Presidential Medal of Freedom from President Ronald Reagan.
🇺🇸
Freidman advised numerous governments in his career, acting as an advisor to Republican President Ronald Reagan and Conservative British Prime Minister Margaret Thatcher. He continued his research until the very end of his life and once stated that his role in eliminating conscription in the United States, commonly known as the draft, was his proudest accomplishment. Friedman died on November 16, 2006; his last column was published in the Wall Street Journal the day after.

Haym Salomon (Chaim Salomon) — Born in Poland of

Haym Salomon (Chaim Salomon) — Born in Poland of Sephardic ancestry, he studied Hebrew in this youth and immigrated to New York City in 1775. He established himself as a financial broker for merchants engaged in overseas trade and joined Samuel Adam’s underground Sons of Liberty organization.
🗽
From 1781-1784, Salomon is believed to have raised nearly $10 billion in today’s dollars for the war effort, including massive debt purchases from his once vast personal wealth.
Salomon’s most meaningful financial contribution, however, came immediately prior to the final revolutionary war battle at Yorktown. Without food, uniforms and supplies, Washington's troops were close to mutiny – Washington's war chest was completely empty, as was that of Congress. Washington gave a simple but eloquent order: "Send for Haym Salomon." With that contribution, Washington conducted the Yorktown campaign, which proved to be the final battle of the Revolution.
🇺🇸
Legend has it, during the design process of the Great Seal, Washington asked what compensation Salomon wanted in return for his financial contributions to the American Revolutionary War. He replied that "he wanted nothing for himself but that he wanted something for his people". There is a theory the 13 stars representing the colonies on the seal were arranged in the shape of the Star of David in commemoration of Salomon's contributions. ✡️
Proud of his Jewry he said: "I am a Jew; it is my own nation; I do not despair that we shall obtain every other privilege that we aspire to enjoy along with our fellow-citizens." Salomon was an instrumental financier of Congregation Mikveh Israel, the oldest Synagogue in Philadelphia, where he is buried.

Sheldon Allan "Shel" Silverstein — American writ

Sheldon Allan "Shel" Silverstein — American writer best known for his cartoons, songs, and children's books. His books have been translated into more than 30 languages and have sold more than 20 million copies. He was the recipient of two Grammy Awards, as well as Golden Globe Award and Academy Award nominations.
📖🎵
Born into a Jewish family in Chicago, he attended Chicago Academy of Fine Arts, which he was attending when he was drafted into the U.S. Army. Silverstein served in Japan and Korea.
Silverstein believed that written works needed to be read on paper—the correct paper for the particular work. Being a book collector, he took seriously the feel of the paper, the look of the book, the fonts, and the binding…which is why most of his books do not have paperback editions. He did not want his work to be diminished in any way.
📖🎵
Silverstein to this day is one of the most memorable authors of our generation giving us classics like “The Giving Tree”, “Where The Sidewalk Ends” and “Masks.”

Howard William Lutnick — Born in Jericho, Long I

Howard William Lutnick — Born in Jericho, Long Island, is a renowned American businessman, who succeeded Bernard Gerald Cantor as the head of Cantor Fitzgerald. After losing 658 of 960 employees, including his brother, in the September 11 attacks, Lutnick has become known for his charity efforts through the Cantor Fitzgerald Relief Fund, which helps to aid families of the attacks and natural disasters.
🇺🇸
At the time of the September 11 Attacks, Cantor Fitzgerald's offices occupied the 101-105th floors in the World Trade Center's North Tower, just above where the hijacked plane hit the building. None of the employees who were in the Cantor offices that morning survived the attacks. Lutnick himself would have been in the office as well that morning, but on September 11 he was taking his son Kyle to his first day of kindergarten.
💔
Just days after the attacks, Lutnick established the Cantor Fitzgerald Relief Fund, with a $1 million donation from Lutnick himself. To date, the fund has given out approximately $180 million to families of Cantor employees and approximately $280 million altogether.
Each year on September 11 (or the business day closest to September 11 if that day falls on a weekend), Cantor Fitzgerald and its affiliate BGC Partners hold a Global Charity Day event and pledge 100 percent of the day's revenue to charity. Since 2005, Global Charity Day events have raised approximately $113 million.

🇮🇱😳#wow
JEXIT demands @godaddy shut down the global “Miss Hitler 2020” beauty pageant ASAP‼️How could you ever promote this in the first place⁉️
Both promote hate and violence against Jews and minimize the victimization of the Holocaust.
Per the worldwide International Holocaust Remembrance Alliance (IHRA) accepted definition of Antisemitism, equating Jews and/or Israel with Hitler or Nazis is antisemitic.
Michael Che was COMPLETELY out of line here. FULL STOP.🚫
Note: “Weekend Update” co-star @colinjost ‘s fiancé Scarlett Johansson, is Jewish. 😠

Sandy Koufax— born Sanford Braun, in Brooklyn, N

Sandy Koufax— born Sanford Braun, in Brooklyn, New York, was a professional baseball left-handed pitcher.
Koufax, at age 36 in 1972, became the youngest player ever elected to the Baseball Hall of Fame. He has been hailed as one of the greatest pitchers in baseball history❕
⚾️
He was an All-Star for six seasons, was the National League’s MVP in 1963 and won the NL Triple Crown for pitchers in 1963, 1965 and 1966, leading the NL in wins, strikeouts, and earned run average. Koufax was the first major league pitcher to pitch four no-hitters and the eighth pitcher to pitch a perfect game in baseball history. ⚾️
He is the first pitcher to win a Cy Young Award by a unanimous vote. He is also the only pitcher to win three Cy Young Awards in the era in which the award was presented to one pitcher across the board, rather than one in each major league.
⚾️
Koufax is most notably remembered for his decision not to pitch Game 1 of the 1965 World Series because it fell on Yom Kippur garnered national attention as an example of conflict between professional pressures and personal beliefs. Why didn’t he play the game? “Respect. It’s as simple as that,” Koafax said.
⚾️
The performance in the 1965 World Series with the Los Angeles Dodgers earned him his second World Series MVP award and his second Hickok Belt, the first time anyone had won the belt more than once. Later that year Koufax was awarded Sports Illustrated magazine's Sportsman of the Year award. ⚾️
On May 27, 2010, Koufax was included among a group of prominent Jewish Americans at the first White House Reception in honor of Jewish American Heritage Month and continues to be one of the outstanding Jewish athletes in American sports.

🚨🚨UPDATE🚨🚨 @jexitusa is continuing to

🚨🚨UPDATE🚨🚨
@jexitusa is continuing to monitor the situation in NYC. Our immediate response to this antisemitic tweet was an official letter addressed to @nycmayor office, as well as major publications — no response. ❌
A Spanish version was sent to NYC and Florida Hispanic faith leaders, who are some of our biggest allies supporting Israel and the entire Jewish community.👏🏼
The Democrat Party— its voices, its spokespersons, its policy and its betrayal of American Jews and Israel is why our mission to educate the public about this failure to condemn antisemitism and anti-Zionist rhetoric is so crucial. 🇺🇸
Today, #JEXIT again calls out Warren Wilhelm Jr. (DeBlasio) for a response as to why he chose Israel’s Independence Day to send this racist and vile tweet calling out the entire Jewish population.
⁉️
Coincidence?
