California Opens Two Fronts for Recognition of Jewish Identity

Today’s lead: California institutions are moving on two fronts to recognize and protect Jewish identity: a federal appeals court revived the challenge to Los Angeles ethnic-studies materials, while SB 1387 would expressly include Jewish identity in state demographic data.

Also tracking: New Hampshire voters rejected an anti-Israel Senate-primary attack by nearly two to one; Congress and Jewish organizations are opening new fronts against campus and K-12 antisemitism; and Iran is accelerating work at a deeply buried nuclear site while widening attacks on U.S. interests.

In the wire: Michigan Jewish leaders set nonnegotiable tests for Democrats, Rep. Claudia Tenney seeks anti-boycott review of allied sanctions, and New York releases $70 million for religious-facility security.
