My pen pal, Amos Oz
By
Ruth Ebenstein
Heroes often disappoint in real life, but this favorite author was more: more intelligent, more charismatic, more articulate, more regal
Analysis
Reuven Rivlin
Amos Oz — in memoriam
How dear was your clear perspective, with its tenderness and sharp focus, to the State of Israel, Israeli society, and the world of literature!
Analysis
Evan Tucker
Amos Oz knew when to go
Oz was blisteringly critical of Israeli policy and an absolutely committed Zionist; the up-and-coming leftists don’t feel the same love for the Jewish state
Analysis
Daniel Chamovitz
Losing our humanities: It’s a national security issue
It would be a mistake to sacrifice literature, history and art on the altar of engineering and science.
Analysis
Naomi Chazan
Netanyahu could win the elections by dropping out
This may be the prime minister’s last chance to bow out with at least some of his reputation intact
Analysis
Shoshanna Keats Jaskoll
Jewish law applies to women too
If you believe the Torah is relevant today, you’ll agree that its laws of damages should apply to forbidding the publication of women’s images
Analysis
Michael J. Salamon
Sex abusers often repeat their offenses
In your defense of a convicted abusive rabbi, you have become a role model for what not to do
Tracey Shipley
When our adult kids move back home
Be firm, employ ’reflective listening,’ and be sure you know the difference between communicating and nagging
Analysis
Betsalel Steinhart
‘Sir? Please, can you report this to the army?’
The day an old Arab man hovering at the site of a vandalized memorial took me by surprise
Analysis
David Sedley
Parshat Vaera: The power of two
How Paul Revere and William Dawes (remember him?) help us understand the power dynamic between Moses and Aaron
Analysis
Josh Shron
Top Israeli songs of 2018
Leave out Netta’s TOY and Omer Adam’s megahits, and you still have a first-rate line-up
What’s the bravest thing you did in 2018?
By
Sarah Tuttle-Singer
People found many varied beautiful ways to act on their courage this year, and their words will inspire you
Top Ops
Laura Ben-David
Do you need to go on a nature hike?
My recent ramble through Israel’s hilly countryside is just what the doctor would have ordered, so I’ve turned it into a self-help guide for you too
Masha Kisel
New Year’s Eve behind the Iron Curtain
Could I give up the only real holiday I knew when my new American Jewish school insisted it was Christmas?
Adele Raemer
Operation Cast Lead — 10 Years On
Having just been through the emotional tornado of suicide survival, I did not have the wherewithal to remain in a war zone
Avi Bell
Airbnb’s lies increase its legal vulnerability
It’s now clear the company is committed not only to violating the law, but also to lying to regulators and the public
Eunice G. Pollack
Why Women’s March leaders only hate ‘white Jews’
If you’d internalized the idea that ’Caucasian Jews’ ’defecate on the rest of the world,’ you wouldn’t want them at your march either
Michael Lipkin
Mutually assured denial
Just because there was no Palestinian country in the land of Israel in the 19th century does not mean there’s no Palestinian nation now
