From the blogs
Nechama Rivlin was us
By
Noah Efron
She had no airs, she was generous, thoughtful and idealistic: where can you find those qualities today in Israel? Everywhere
Nathan Lopes Cardozo
Is the Torah divine? Thoughts for Shavuot on combustibility
As with music and art, the Torah cannot be approached via an academic lens. It is the soul’s language that is at stake
Andres Spokoiny
How not to become a beer
Shavuot is a prime example of how Jews adapt creatively to change as potentially disastrous as the loss of a homeland
Shira Pasternak Be'eri
At my father’s bedside
You’re here, but not here, with us and not with us, your spirit trapped in a body that no longer responds. And you’ve asked us to let you go, but how can we?
Having children isn’t considered a crime yet, unfortunately
By
Hedi Ben-Amar
Let’s face it, procreation is one big Ponzi scheme that serves parents, and drags kids into this world without their consent
Nechama Eisenman
A girl and her duck
She was happy, sweet, gentle, compassionate — who was this child and what had she done with my ’challenging’ daughter?
Masha Kisel
Trapped in a loveless movie
Thankfully, Jewish women now author their own roles, and have moved beyond the question of whether they’re worthy of love
Karin Kloosterman
The Israeli ’ambassador of Goa’ from Artjuna Cafe
Yoga, clean vegetables, and Israeli hospitality — what more could I ask for in India?
Gerald C. Skolnik
A Yankee fan learns from Bill Buckner
What can you do when you’ve commited a can’t-pull-it-back mistake that leaves you persona non grata in you community’s eyes?
Yochi Rappeport
Middle ground Jerusalem: Encounter and embrace
Only through the capacity to truly meet the ’other’ with full, deep acceptance, can we bring forth the unified Jerusalem we envision
A glimpse of 19th century Jerusalem
By
Gil Weissblei
In celebration of Jerusalem Day, the National Library of Israel takes a look back — way back — at the Holy City
Avidan Freedman
Israel is arming murderous regimes. I’m on hunger strike
It is my moral responsibility as a citizen in a democratic country that sells weapons to mass murderers like Burma
Top Ops
Hazon, what is ‘normal’?
To ensure a happy, nurturing, loving family for a child, start with love, and leave the parents’ sexual preferences out of it
Rachel Stomel
Suffocating under the Rabbinate’s chokehold
When rabbis wield the Torah as a political weapon, instead of the tool of justice it should be, the innocent suffer
James R. Russell
June 5th, 1967
52 years ago, the Egyptians blockaded the Straits of Tiran, Israel went to war, and US Jewry held its collective breath
Ralph Genende
In the dark spaces
If we spent as much energy trying to bring Jews in as we do trying to keep them out, our community would be stronger
Ruth Ebenstein
Bringing Israelis and Palestinians together
The day a conference on peace journalism crashed a yoga class in a safe room during a missile strike
Yehudis Goldsobel
Who will protect the children?
A recent UK report reflects what happens when school, synagogue, and home life are too entwined, and there’s no infrastructure for safeguarding concerns
