Pros on pot: Check out our featured debate with a rabbi, a doctor and a criminal defence lawyer regarding the effects of marijuana legalization on the Jewish community.

Condemnation for DACA cancellation: The American Jewish Committee’s director called U.S. President Donald Trump’s decision to end Deferred Action for Childhood Arrivals, the program that grants protections to illegal immigrants who arrived in the United States as children, “devastating.” Other Jewish groups similarly weighed in with condemnations.

Prime minister’s discount? Argentina’s Jewish community will reportedly bankroll a sizeable chunk of Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu’s upcoming trip to the country.

Seems a bit much: A Jewish woman in Michigan is suing a local Denny’s restaurant after discovering bacon in her veggie omelet.
