Is it really the plan "to open in the 2029-2030 school year with 8 Kindergarten families"? If so, the young scholars for this school are only even now being born. It sounds to me like this is an idea (a very bad idea) in desperate search of someone to agree with it. I wonder if it will get started before or after Greta's Flotilla reaches Gaza.

Someone should ask the Achvat Olam folks whether they think Zionism is racism.

One might imagine that Purell hand sanitizer would become the next target of a "go woke, go broke" campaign, except that people on the Right largely avoid using hand sanitizer already.

I can only hope that it was a mistake to list Hebrew College of Newton, Massachusetts as a "non-Zionist" alternative

I mean not that Hebrew College as an institution is non-Zionist but a lot of the students and recent grads are hostile. It is a place where there is a beachhead...see https://www.nytimes.com/2021/11/02/magazine/israel-american-jews.html or https://docs.google.com/document/d/17iNzy0uThn6YECqiBx9t_R-WAHF7m2Kkxxiq8v0IfPA/edit?tab=t.0

Whew!

When over 20% of NYC Jews plan to vote for Mamdani, the presence of left-wing anti-Israel elements is not a surprise. But neither is it an indictment.
