On my first visit to Israel — a young adults’ mission with the local chapter of the Zionist Organization of America (now the Baltimore Zionist District) — I remember many of us walking up to the Kotel, the Western Wall, with a sense of awe and disbelief.

Northwest Baltimore resident Jeffrey Ira Amdur was a genuine renaissance man who had three primary passions in life: education, sports and … Millard Fillmore. “To those of you who cavalierly ask, ‘Why Millard Fillmore?’ I respond, ‘Why not Millard Fillmore?’” Amdur wrote in a whimsical 2019 Jmore tribute to the 19th-century statesman known as the “Rodney Dangerfield of U.S. presidents” on the occasion of his 219th birthday.
Remembering the 'Earl of Baltimore'

On the evening of Jan. 18, 2013, Earl Weaver had dinner aboard the Celebrity Silhouette cruise ship for the “Original Baltimore Baseball Cruise,” comforted to have a bunch of his old ballplayers with him. They were there to reminisce, make a little extra cash and socialize with fans. Also, as it turned out, he was there to bid farewell. Rising from the dinner table, Weaver told his old lefty pitching ace Scott McGregor he didn’t feel well and was heading for bed.

By Lisa KeysFormer Baltimore resident Sheila Dardashti has made music her entire life. But until recently, she never actually wrote any of her own.

Get over it, all of you who took to the streets over the weekend full of anger and anxiety and couldn’t believe Donald Trump simultaneously took to the golf course full of sheer obliviousness. The president of the United States’ biggest weekend anxiety was sinking a six-foot putt — and yet, some of us are still surprised at his callousness and spit-in-the-eye indifference toward millions of Americans?

After being published in 2018, Marc Dollinger’s “Black Power, Jewish Politics: Reinventing the Alliance in the 1960s” (Brandeis University Press) sold out of four print runs — a rarity in the academic literary world.
