I’ve been doing some reading about rising antisemitism in European schools lately, and I came across something that genuinely shook me. A report by Claude Moniquet, director of the European Strategic Intelligence and Security Centre, details how classrooms across Europe—in Paris, London, and Vienna—have become unexpected battlegrounds since October 7, 2023. The numbers are stark: antisemitic incidents in France quadrupled in 2023, with 13% occurring in schools; in the UK, cases more than tripled; and in Germany, the daily average jumped from seven to 32.

Happy Birthday, Julie! We got to see an adult Julie in Julie and the Blue Guitar. We learn that Julie worked at City Hall in San Francisco. This is what I imagine Julie also would be doing as adult:

  1. Studied political science at UC Berkeley

  2. Went to law school

  3. Had an internship at a law firm
