Music & Public Debate: Boy George released the pro-Israel reggae track “We Will Dance Again” (עוד נרקוד), posting it with #Shalom and sparking intense backlash over lyrics that reject “genocide” in Gaza and criticize pro-Palestine musicians. Community Safety: Senator Sasha Renée Pérez condemned fresh antisemitic graffiti targeting the Pasadena Jewish Temple and Center, urging accountability while noting the community’s resilience after earlier attacks. Travel Practicalities: With summer holidays in full swing, major airlines’ passport rules are being reiterated for easyJet, Jet2, Ryanair and TUI—urging travelers to double-check destination entry requirements before flying. Local Connections to the Arts: Saar’s Huntington commission is highlighted again as a rare, site-specific bridge between her art and San Marino’s cultural scene.
