Whatever your feelings about the recent U.S. election, we all have much to give thanks about. This past month, we faced many challenges. On college campuses, extremist organizations continued their efforts to suppress speech that deviates from established academic orthodoxies. We saw recently, for example, at San Francisco State, where  an event with Jerusalem Mayor Nir Barkat was disrupted. LDB's own Jennie Gross faced a similar problem at the University of Minnesota, where she spoke out against the movement to Boycott, Divest from, and Sanction Israel (BDS). We have been fighting back against the haters and censors. Fortunately, we are winning and making our message heard. Further, at the state level, decency continues to prevail in successful legislative efforts to combat BDS.  Once again, as we begin a new fiscal year, w e thank you for your tax-deductible  donations  and acknowledge that w ithout you our work could not be done. As we approach Thanksgiving, we are thankful to the progress that is being made.
