Celebrating Natan Sharansky (#CelebrateWithNatan)

Natan Sharansky is winding down his leadership of The Jewish Agency for Israel, a post he has held since 2009. The Jewish Agency serves to strengthen ties of Jews around the world with Israel. You can read their most recent annual report on their activities here (pdf.)
To honor Sharansky's service and life, the Jewish Agency is encouraging people to share memories about Sharansky, including using the hashtag #CelebrateWithNatan.
So I thought I'd use this as an opportunity to recollect Legal Insurrection's prior coverage of Sharansky, plus a new story I just learned about him.

Today is a rough day to be a Texas Democrat. That blue wave we've heard about for months was more of a ripple.
Months of wish casting, hoping, dreaming, pretending a blue wave was cresting in the Lone Star State, only to be clobbered by Republicans in voter turnout.
