In this in-depth article, J. Weekly covers the federal civil rights lawsuit filed by Jewish devotional artist Mikey Pauker against Harbin Hot Springs, a Northern California retreat center. The piece explores how Pauker’s Hanukkah concert was canceled after online pressure from anti-Zionist activists, including an individual who sent threatening messages and publicly took credit for the cancellation. The article outlines Pauker’s claim, supported by the National Jewish Advocacy Center, that Harbin discriminated against him based on his religious Zionist identity, in violation of the Civil Rights Act and California’s Unruh Civil Rights Act. It also documents the emotional and financial impact of the cancellation and the precedent it sets for Jewish artists expressing solidarity with Israel.“This isn’t about politics,” Pauker shares. “It’s about being allowed to show up fully as a Jew.”Read the full article to learn more about the case, the broader implications for religious expression and artistic freedom, and why Pauker says, “It ends with me.”
