Dolan and Kunze were the two top targets for pickoff by Democrats. STARK JEWISH NEWS In the House, Republicans increased their majority by a few seats, picking up Democratically held districts in more rural areas seen as “Trump country.” They successfully defended Rep.

Polarization Best of the best,single As I write this, the 2020 US Presidential Election has been called with the Biden/Harris transportation winner. ticket as the winners, although the results were unexpectedly close. The campaign season has been a trying time for the country with often bitterly partisan political messaging on top of the COVID-19 pandemic and subsequent economic downturn. The country is so deeply divided that there remain a shrinking but vocal contingent of Americans, led by President Trump himself, who refuse to acknowledge the legitimacy of not only the election result but of the election process itself. Our democracy has been weakened but can heal and recover. We as Jews have an opportunity to help in this. In our own community and in our country, we need to seek to find common ground, to “lower the temperature” of and allow modera- tion of the extremely polarized positions that echo through our social medial and political commentary. Only through coming together can we work to become more like the country we aspire to be. DAN CHARLICK I would like to take this moment to focus on two interesting takes on the election. CJCF President Firstly, it is interesting to recognize that just as Americans have strongly different views about Trump/Biden, there is also a difference of opinion on the topic between American Jews and their Israeli counterparts. American Jews have historically shown overwhelming support for Democratic presidential candidates, this year preferring Joe Biden over President Donald Trump 77 percent to 21 percent, according to an exit poll commissioned by liberal lobby group J Street, and 60.6 percent to 30.5 percent in a survey from the Republican Jewish Coalition. According to Jay Ruderman, (November 10, 2020 / JNS) “The Jewish vote figures reinforce what we already know about the priorities of Jewish voters. The overwhelming majority of American Jews identify as passionately pro-Israel, that has not been one of the top issues they are expressing in the voting booth.” In fact, we here in Canton have seen that same sentiment echoed in our own Jewish Community Survey, reflected in the priorities placed for Federation spending. Ruderman goes on to say: “Only 4 percent of (American) Jewish voters identify Israel as their first or second-most important election issue. Instead, 43 percent prioritize health care, 28 percent gun violence, and 21 percent Social Security and Medicare. Consequently, Trump’s series of policies that have made him a so-called “dream come true” for supporters of Israel— moving the U.S. embassy to Jerusalem, pulling out of the Iran nuclear deal, recognizing the Golan Heights as part of Israel and more—only move the needle for the Orthodox Jewish vote rather than the American Jewish vote as a whole. Given the disconnect between Trump’s Israel policy and the Jewish vote in the United States, it is natural to assume that the 2020 election has amplified the divisions between pro-Trump Israeli Jews and anti-Trump American Jews. The Pew Research Center found earlier this year that 71 percent of Israelis approve of Trump, a figure that far more closely resembles American Jews’ support for Trump’s Democratic opponent. Israel even went as far as naming a new settlement ‘Trump Heights’.” As you can see, there is a need to moderate the polarization within the world-wide Jewish population as well. This is not only an American phenomenon. Otherwise the American and Israeli Jewish worldviews will continue to drift further apart. On a lighter note, I would like to recognize an exciting first for America. As I foreshadowed in a previous column, ethnic and religious minority has become mainstream enough in our political environment that not only is not a disqualifier for service but widely accepted as the new acceptable normal. Kamala Harris has made history in the 2020 election. VP Elect Harris, whose mother was Indian, and father is Jamaican, is set to become the first female, first Black and first South Asian U.S. vice president. Her husband has made history as well. Attorney Doug Emhoff is set to become the first Second Gentleman of the Unites States, as well as the first Jewish spouse of a president or vice president. In his role as second gentleman, Emhoff will focus on equal access to justice and legal representation. Doug Emhoff has two adult children, Cole and Ella, from a previous marriage, who call Kamala Harris “Momala.” Harris has referred to the interfaith and multiracial clan as a “modern family.” The Twitter universe responded to the news with typical comedic wit: • In Doug Emhoff, we are going to have our first Zaddy in the White House • Just got very excited picturing a People magazine article featuring a recipe for Doug’s WHITE HOUSE LATKES Artistic Objects • Now millions of young Jewish boys across the nation will believe that they, too, could someday grow up and be the Second Gentleman of the United States. for Meaningful Spaces And I leave you with my personal favorite: • I’m into Doug Emhoff, the first Jewish Second Gentleman, in fact the first Second Gentleman ever... the lifetime achiever of our huge and growing club of Jewish men married to much more impressive women.

FOR EMERGENCY MEDICAL CARE, WHO DO ISRAELIS DEPEND ON? THEY DEPEND ON YOU.

Magen David Adom is Israel’s o cial ambulance, blood-services, and disaster-relief organization. MDA has been on the front lines in the fight against coronavirus while also contending with terrorist attacks, car accidents, and other threats to Israeli lives.

But Magen David Adom is not government-funded. Its 25,000 EMTs and paramedics, most of them volunteers, rely on support from people like you for the supplies and equipment they need to perform their lifesaving work.

There are many ways to support Israel, but none that has a greater impact on its people than a gift to Magen David Adom. Your support isn’t just changing lives — it’s literally saving them.
