Netanyahu, the end
By
Yossi Klein Halevi
On the overdue demise of a leader who turned power for his people into his only real ideal and who confused their well-being with his own
David Breakstone
The day the Arabs saved Zionism
The Joint List’s surge is a leap toward fulfilling Herzl’s vision of a Jewish state as tolerant, inclusive and democratic
Amichai Shikli
Tibi’s revisionist strategy: Palestinians as ‘masters of the land’
If Arab List MKs want to advance Palestinian national aspirations, despite their voters’ wishes, they should do so outside the Knesset
Evie Litwok
Needed: A Jewish response to mass incarceration
I know what it’s like to get out of jail homeless and penniless — my Jewish values inspired me to help others like me
From the blogs
Romy Ronen
and
Michale Schueler
Why is Columbia giving the Jew-hating Mahathir a stage?
The university’s students, 10,000 of whom are Jewish, have the right to learn in a place where hatred will never be invited in
Avinoam Bar-Yosef
WATCH: Are Haredi Israelis ‘Zionist’?
Most Israelis believe the ultra-Orthodox contribute little to Israel’s success. This, says Daniel Goldman, hurts Haredi Israelis (Video)
I pray at Pittsburgh’s Tree of Life synagogue. Here’s how we’re coping this Rosh Hashanah.
By
Beth Kissileff
Nearly a year after the mass shooting, the ’wail’ and ’scream’ of the shofar can be a call to healing and even growth
Sally Abrams
Gentle waves or a tsunami: what will the New Year bring us?
A devastating diagnosis, a ruinous fire — these can sneak up on you. I know, they struck my loved ones, and here’s what I learned
Marla Cohen
Straight shooting for 21st-century Jews
What’s a nice suburban middle-aged Jew like me doing enjoying target practice at the local gun range?
Todd Berman
Breaking the social media echo chamber
Aren’t you tired of hearing the same old tropes? Making the same old arguments? What does it take to refresh, and hear those old sounds anew?
Daniel Landes
What it meant to sound the shofar in Auschwitz
In the camps, every mitzvah was a miracle — done hurriedly, under fear of discovery, as a one-shot deal. Every mitzvah was an act of resistance
David Sedley
Who needs science, anyway?
Or how Christopher Columbus saved his men using a Jewish astronomer’s secret knowledge about a lunar eclipse (Nitzavim)
The singles are not in crisis
Take pride in the engineers, therapists, architects, and all-around thriving community members who rock not being married in a world focused on spouse-finding
Bill Slott
Ancient giant sea creatures behind my house
What was once a coiled mollusk lies in the desert as a limestone rock, making a believer out of the most hardened cynic
This year, Rosh Hashanah came early for me
By
Batya Hefter
My mother never downsized; when she died, that job fell to me, and sorting the remnants of her life and our family history became a physical and spiritual labor of love
Top Ops
Larry Luxner
My crazy week in Uzbekistan
Planning SNAFUs aside, the visit offered close encounters with history, culture, and what’s left of an ancient Jewish community
Bradley Shavit Artson
Holy forgetting
If we hold on to each and every offense and slight, we will be consumed in anger, useless, and isolated. Rather, we must cultivate the ability to let it go
Naftali Moses
The club you don’t want to join
When terror leaves a gaping hole of grief, there’s a place we can go to catch our breath, calm down, and try to move on
Jill Schulman
The year of flames
Readying to flee yet another fire, I packed my son’s bar mitzvah suit in our bag of essentials; it had become a symbol of what matters, in the face of too much loss
Mark Lavie
Let Arab parties into the ruling coalition
One day we’ll look back on the old days when Arab parties were automatically excluded from government and wonder why
Ralph Genende
