Michelle Terris and Siggy Flicker of JEXIT on October 28th

JEXIT believes that American Jews can no longer blindly vote Democrat. Founded in 2018, JEXIT stands for Jews Exiting the Democrat Party. Our mission is to help educate and encourage Jews to understand that the Democrat party has abandoned them and Israel.

Please join us on Tuesday October 28th for

Michelle Terris, President of JEXIT, Inc.
and
Siggy Flicker, National Spokesperson

JEXIT believes that much of the core of today’s Democrat party is anti-Israel, antisemitic and anti-American. The antisemitism that has permeated Capitol Hill from the left side of the aisle has become clearly evident by their complacency towards BDS, their tolerance of claims that Israel is an apartheid state, their funding and appeasement of Israel’s enemies and their campaigns to defund Israel’s defense systems, including the Iron Dome.

There are only 15 million Jews in the world of which approximately half live in Israel with much of the other half living in the Untied States. We are less than 2% of the US population, yet we tolerate the corrupt United Nations placing some 90% of it’s worldwide sanctions against Israel. Antisemitic politicians, educators and celebrities play off of these condemnations by using disgusting rhetoric such as “Jews control the World”, “Jews control the Banks” and “Jews control the Media” in order to justify and rationalize their hatred. JEXIT knows that tolerance of all this hateful rhetoric absolutely fans the flames of the historic increase in antisemitic hate crimes throughout the U.S. and around the world.

An accomplished executive in both the corporate and nonprofit worlds, Michelle Terris saw a need in the community to educate Jews on the drastic and alarming changes happening within the Democrat Party. Inspired by Ivanka Trump’s Women’s Global Development and Prosperity Initiative, Michelle co-founded The Trump Towel, where proceeds go to Gold Star families for their service to our country. She was co-chair for the Jews for Trump Coalition during the 2016 elections, founded JEXIT in 2018, and rallied on Capitol Hill against antisemitism.

Israeli born and the daughter of a Holocaust survivor, Siggy Flicker is a staunch supporter of Judeo-Christian values and known for her passion for the Jewish community and Israel. Outspoken and fearless, the “Real Housewives of New Jersey” star stands up for those who don’t have a voice. She supports organizations combating the rise in anti-Semitism around the world, as well as the survival of Israel and condemning anti-Zionism. Team #JEXIT is incredibly blessed to have this extraordinary woman as the face of our movement.

Representative Anne Gerwig Highlights June Lunch

The 60-day session has passed without the budget (so far). It was an amazing experience for me, along with the other “Freshmen” legislators. We have heard that no sessions are mundane but this one surely meets the status of “supernatural.” I have learned so much and vow to be even more effective come January of 2026.
Some comments from Representative Anne Gerwig:

The 60-day session has passed without the budget (so far). It was an amazing experience for me, along with the other “Freshmen” legislators. We have heard that no sessions are mundane but this one surely meets the status of “supernatural.” I have learned so much and vow to be even more effective come January of 2026.

We were able to get 2 bills across the finish line, which is pretty good considering the climate in Tallahassee. Speaking of the climate, we did have a real snow day! I was packed up and ready to drive up when I received notice that the week’s events were canceled. When I did return the following Sunday, there was still snow on the rooftops!

Our first bill that passed established a state-wide Fentanyl Awareness and Education Day. Florida will match the National Day of Awareness on August 21st. Localities are encouraged to meet and discuss the dangers and the loss of life due to this devastating problem.

The second bill allows school districts to remain compliant with the required later start times by filing a detailed report with the Department of Education.

It is my sincere honor to serve District 93 and to work together with all local and state agencies to ensure the best value for your tax dollars and the best quality of life for all of us here in Palm Beach County District 93.

Representative Anne Gerwig

This year’s legislative session has been contentious. Here we are in June and there is no budget. The House and Senate are at odds, and the Governor says “a pox on both your houses”. Is this what one party rule looks like? For some thoughts on that and other news from the 2025 Legislative session, please join us for District 93 Representative Anne Gerwig at our next club lunch on June 24.

At this meeting, we will also announce the winners of the 2025 Anne Roberts Scholarships.

Lawfare – Rogue Judges and National Injunctions with Professor James Todd

Recently, the Supreme Court heard arguments regarding the ending of birthright citizenship, and more broadly, the legality of country-wide injunctions and restraining orders from federal district judges. For some thoughts on this and other aspects of the current lawfare by the left

Please join us on Tuesday May 27th for

Rogue Judges and National Injunctions – an analysis from Professor James Todd, Chairman of the Politics Department at Palm Beach Atlantic University

Professor James Todd

Since taking office, President Trump has put into action a wide range of executive actions that implement the ambitious agenda for which he was elected. With Congressional Democrats mostly feckless in their opposition, and the Republicans much more supportive than in the first term, the left has turned to their like-minded judges on the federal bench to throw roadblocks in front of just about every initiative. With plaintiffs such as the ACLU, blue state attorney generals, and selected illegal immigrants with deportation cases, the “judge shopped” federal district jurists (many in Washington DC) have stretched the limits of their power to block the administration’s actions country-wide. 26 out of 30 of the judges (87%) in these cases were chosen by Democrat Presidents and have clearly shown their bias.

What is the precedent for all this and what are the tools available to fight it? For some thoughts on this and the role that Congress and the Supreme Court will play in its evolution, join us as Professor Todd unpacks this historical assault on the separation of powers.
