Jewish Ledger
The Capitol under attack
By Shira Hanau
(JTA) – Heshy Tischler, the pro-Trump provocateur of Orthodox Brooklyn, wasn’t at the U.S. capitol when a mob stormed it Wednesday – but not because he didn’t want to be.
Tischler was one of a throng of Orthodox Jews who traveled down to D.C. to join mass protests of the election results Wednesday, Jan. 6. He had left the city before the protest turned into an insurrection that drove members of Congress and the vice president into hiding, and in which a woman was killed.
But that afternoon, unaware that his compatriots were now occupying the Senate chamber and its environs, he said that he, too, would like to take his complaint straight to the halls of Congress.

Vogue s editor-in-chief is speaking out about recent criticism the magazine has faced. On Tuesday s episode of
The New York Times podcast
Vogue cover. The podcast also includes an audio interview with Wintour, which was recorded prior to the cover controversy.
Vogue was criticized after releasing the print cover of its latest issue, which featured the vice president-elect in a black jacket and Converse Chuck Taylor sneakers. A source close to Harris previously told ET that the outlet and the vice president-elect s team had previously agreed that a photo of Harris in a blue suit with a gold backdrop would be the cover, though Harris camp never asked for photo approval.
The criticism of the cover runs the gamut from way the photograph is lit, which some say washes out her features, to the overall styling that others say fall.
