A few pointers for the political parties of 2019
By
Shoshanna Keats Jaskoll
Elections 2.0 is a chance for parties to up their game, like, say, adding more women to the list, or ditching that sex offender
Michael Hilkowitz
Depraved Bibi used Ethiopian Jews as bargaining chips
Israel’s prime minister offered an MK a galling ’Sophie’s Choice’: Betray your party or abandon your community.
Nathan Lewin
Bribery charges against Netanyahu wouldn’t hold water in a US court
Bibi and Sara allegedly did favors in return for positive publicity. Under American law, such a quid pro quo is not a crime
William Echikson
The tolerant Belgium I loved is gone
It’s not just the rise in anti-Semitic incidents that worry me, it is the failure of the Belgian politicians to denounce them
Daniel Landes
We Orthodox Jews desperately need gay rabbis
I ordained a gay rabbinical student because requiring people to hide or ’cure’ their sexuality violates the Jewish notion of Law
Harry Maryles
Ordaining an openly gay Jew
Some lines can never be crossed no matter how much compassion one has for one’s fellow man. You cannot change Jewish law
My life hangs on a needle inside an egg
By
Mike Polischuk
You reached for immortality and had a child, who is now tied to the raw, pulsating muscle of your heart. That’s your life from now on.
Melissa Landa
‘P is for Palestine’ is not for children
Sure, it’s an alphabet book with cheerful illustrations, but those pictures are also an insidious attempt to indoctrinate kids against the State of Israel
Ksenia Svetlova
Economic peace? Not while the ice cream is melting at the checkpoint
Trump’s ‘Deal of the Century’ offers Palestinians financial incentives in return for giving up their dreams of sovereignty — that’s a pipe dream
Ilana Kaufman
and
Ari Kelman
Jews of Color and who counts in the Jewish community
Our new study shows US Jewry is a whole lot less white than you might think and helps ensure everyone is being honored and served
David Sedley
Happy birthday, Al Capone
To take the census, Moses had to know everyone’s age — go try finding that out when no one has a birth certificate (Parshat Bamidbar)
Baruch Frydman-Kohl
The day I met the Columbia astronauts’ families at the Israel Museum
On Ilan Ramon’s salvaged diary, the remnants of the Enoch scroll, and the ancient quest to reach beyond our limits
A story to tell to my great grandchildren
By
Miriam Terlinchamp
It will be about how the generations who came before them responded to the pain in our world in three tangible ways
Aryeh Ben David
What’s missing from the Jewish conversation? God
All the thoughtful, creative ideas in the world can’t replace deep, personal, engagement with the beating heart of Judaism
Top Ops
Shayna Goldberg
Questions never asked
The world of Orthodox women’s Jewish education has changed rapidly, and it’s made my career, but too many were left behind
Jay Ruderman
Memorial Day: Equal, but not identical
Tens of thousands of Jews died wearing US military uniforms and defending the American dream, but that dream is not yet our reality
Eilleen Eisenberg
Wait… so you mean this isn’t a date?
I knew just how that romantic dinner with the rabbi would go… (I couldn’t have been more wrong)
Yuval Shany
The weakest constitution in the world
The Override Clause would provide the government with yet another legal avenue for restricting Israelis’ fundamental rights
Dan Ornstein
Want to save democracy? Begin by studying Talmud!
That massive Jewish text is a call to take no claim of truth for granted, and to hold those in power to the highest standards of decency
Kovi Skier
Be happy: We got a second chance
Israel was poised to swear in a government rife with corruption and extremism. With new elections, we dodged that bullet
