NBA Disciplines Meyers Leonard for Antisemitic Slur

[link removed]

Bleacher Report | 3-minute read

The NBA suspended Miami Heat player Meyers Leonard
for a week and fined him $50,000 after he hurled an antisemitic slur
while livestreaming his video game play. Leonard apologized for the
slur after Jewish New England Patriots wide receiver Julian Edelman
posted an open letter on social media explaining the uproar and
inviting Leonard to Shabbat dinner.

AJC analysis: This is not the first time
Edelman has called out antisemitism from a fellow athlete. Last year
he invited fellow NFL player DeSean Jackson to tour the U.S. Holocaust
Memorial Museum after Jackson posted a quote falsely attributed to
Adolf Hitler that Jews would blackmail America. Read about other
athletes who have taken a stand against antisemitism. (View on

India Blames Iran for Blast Outside Israeli Embassy

[link removed]

The Times of Israel | 3-minute read

Investigators in India have concluded that Iran's Islamic
Revolutionary Guard Corps (IRGC) carried out the January bomb attack
outside the Israeli embassy in New Delhi. Meanwhile, the U.S. State
Department barred two IRGC interrogators and their families from
entering the U.S., citing the interrogators' inhumane treatment
of political prisoners and detainees during recent Iranian protests.

AJC responds: "India has reportedly concluded that a local
Shiite group, backed by Iran, was behind the terror plot targeting the
Israeli embassy in New Delhi. Yet another indication that Iran poses a
real and present threat to global peace and security." (View on

AJC responds: "Thank you, @StateDept and @SecBlinken, for
sanctioning two Iranian government interrogators accused of torturing
political prisoners and protesters in 2019 and 2020. Iran must be held
accountable for these and other gross human rights violations."

AJC's Shabbat Table

[link removed]

This week, in AJC's Shabbat Table, we see how
Moses' reminder to the Children of Israel to keep the Sabbath
holy coupled with the creation of the elaborate Mishkan (tabernacle)
prepares us to emerge from this pandemic armed with lessons about the
sacredness of time and space. And in honor of Women's History
Month, we recall the "scandalous" bat mitzvah ceremony of
Judith Kaplan that opened the door to women's ritual inclusion
in synagogues and arguably led to the ordination of women as rabbis.
