Yaakov Menken

Yaakov Menken is the executive vice president of the Coalition for Jewish Values, an organization that advocates for traditional Jewish moral teachings and values. He is known for his vocal criticism of public figures and celebrities who express support for Palestinian causes while overlooking the complexities of the Israeli-Palestinian conflict. Menken has been particularly critical of children's entertainer Ms. Rachel, arguing that her focus on humanitarian issues in Gaza detracts from broader global child welfare concerns, and he emphasizes the importance of recognizing the suffering of all children, regardless of their nationality.
