This #GivingTuesday is extra special for me. Jean Trebek (Alex Trebek’s widow and now a friend of mine) announced The Alex Trebek Fund for Pancreatic Cancer on November 1 of this year as a way to honor the late Jeopardy host who died of the disease in 2020.
Alex was the personification of intelligence and integrity, and making a gift to this fund is the perfect way to honor a man who was in our living rooms every night for 37 seasons. Pancreatic cancer desperately needs more research dollars. I hope you’ll consider contributing to this fund, and, as they always say, no donation is too small. Click the link in my bio to donate. 💜

Hisham Awartani, Kinnan Abdalhamid, and Tahseen Ahmed, all age 20 and all three college students of Palestinian descent out for a walk in Vermont, were seriously injured over the weekend when a man shot them at close range on a city street — an attack being investigated as a possible hate crime, authorities said Monday.
The young men told family members they were speaking a hybrid of English and Arabic before the man shot at them four times without saying anything before the attack, according to a family spokesperson.
Two of the young men were struck in their torsos, while one was hit in the lower extremities, Murad said. All three were being treated at the University of Vermont Medical Center, and one faces a long recovery because of a spinal injury, a family member said.
The three shooting victims have been friends since first grade at Ramallah Friends School, a private school in the West Bank, and all are “remarkable, distinguished students,” said Rania Ma’ayeh, head of the school.
Awartani is studying mathematics and archaeology at Brown University in Rhode Island; Abdalhamid is a pre-med student at Haverford College in Pennsylvania; and Ali Ahmad is studying mathematics and IT at Trinity College in Connecticut, Ma’ayeh said. Awartani and Abdalhamid are U.S. citizens while Ali Ahmad is studying on a student visa, Ma’ayeh said.
Jason J. Eaton, 48, made his initial court appearance by video from jail on three counts of attempted murder, and a plea of not guilty was entered on his behalf on Monday. He was ordered held without bail.
The U.S. Department of Justice, along with state law enforcement agencies, were investigating whether Saturday’s shooting was a hate crime amid an increase in threats against Jewish, Muslim and Arab communities across the U.S. since the Israel-Hamas war began, Attorney General Merrick Garland said. “There is understandable fear in communities across the country,” he said.

Henry Kissinger, one of the most influential and controversial diplomats of the 20th century, died Wednesday at age 100, his firm said.
Kissinger served as secretary of state and national security adviser under Presidents Richard Nixon and Gerald Ford.
He and Vietnam’s Le Duc Tho shared the Nobel Peace Prize for the secret negotiations that produced the 1973 Paris agreement and ended U.S. military participation in the Vietnam War. His famous “shuttle diplomacy” after the 1973 Middle East war helped stabilize relations between Israel and its Arab neighbors.
Kissinger had been active past his centenary, attending meetings in the White House, publishing a book on leadership styles, and testifying before a Senate committee about the nuclear threat posed by North Korea. In July 2023 he made a surprise visit to Beijing to meet Chinese President Xi Jinping.
In addition to his wife Nancy Maginnes, a former foreign policy researcher on the staff of Nelson Rockefeller, survivors include two children from his first marriage, David and Elizabeth; and five grandchildren.
🚨 Israel and Hamas agreed to extend their truce for two more days, according to officials in Qatar who helped negotiate the initial cease-fire, as Israeli officials signaled that a fourth exchange of hostages and prisoners would go forward Monday.
According to @nytimes reporting, Majed Al-Ansari, a spokesman for the foreign ministry of Qatar, which has helped mediate the talks that led to the initial pause in fighting, said an “agreement has been reached to extend the humanitarian truce for an additional two days in the Gaza Strip.” It did not elaborate on the terms.
The announcement came shortly after the Israeli prime minister’s office said it had begun contacting the families of hostages who would be released on Monday, appearing to resolve a disagreement over the lists of those to be freed on what had been expected to be the final day of a four-day cease-fire.
Under the initial deal, Hamas agreed to release 50 women and children taken hostage during the Oct. 7 attack, and Israel agreed to free 150 women and minors held in Israeli jails, among other terms.
This is a developing story with updates to come.
ICYMI ➡️ Eleven hostages were released by Hamas into Israel on Monday, according to the Israel Defense Forces. In exchange, 33 Palestinian civilians were set to be released from Israeli prison, a spokesman for Qatar’s Foreign Ministry said. Earlier Monday, Israel and Hamas agreed to a deal to extend the fragile pause in fighting in Gaza by two days, according to Qatari officials.
We’ve all wondered how the hostages taken by Hamas have coped with their ordeal, and in some cases, how they will adjust to their newfound freedom. On Sunday, I spoke to psychoanalyst and professor at @hebrewuniversity in Jerusalem Dr. Ofrit Shapira-Berman, who has been working very closely with the families of those missing and killed in Israel on Oct. 7. She helped shed some light on these complex questions. Read more of our conversation at the link in my bio.
