Chicago White Sox pick up Jewish all-timer in Youkilis and the fan base cheers
Some Jewish baseball fans went extra bonkers during the 2005 World Series when Geoff Blum smacked a game-winning 14th-inning home run for the Chicago White Sox.

Conservatives debate antipathy for Palin
Forget 2012 – Sarah Palin must think she’s headed to the White House even sooner. How better to explain the former Alaska governor and GOP vice-presidential candidate’s eyebrow-raising comments a few weeks back, when she defended Israeli settlements on the basis that “more Jewish people will be flocking to Israel in the days and weeks […]

A gloomy decade later, Jews still fighting J2K virus
