Mazal tov, it’s a village!
By
Amy Dover
There’s a couple of nurses and a doctor and the shoppers, who are all collecting towels and coats for the woman going into labor in Aisle 10
Michael Unterberg
The return of the Jewish Question
The identity of Jews in Western countries is the topic of widespread public debate, and it’s a conversation Jews should be having too
Judaism is not a nationality
Trump’s executive order will lead only to US Jews feeling unsafe and strangers in a land we have called home since we came in 1654
Ted Deutch
The US should adopt the IHRA definition of anti-Semitism
The step would help raise the level of the federal government’s strategy for combating the rise in this form of bigotry
Where should we go? The shootout in Jersey City
By
Ilyse Muser Shainbrown
These times (again) that push Jews to seek a safe haven
Batya Brownstein
I got divorced at the Rabbanut
I was told: ’It’s not fair and it’s horrible, but this is not the time to make a statement.’ So here is my statement (it’s not what I thought it would be)
Hen Mazzig
Western Ashkenazi scholars erase Mizrahi history
The claim that Mizrahi Heritage Month is a propaganda vehicle for the Israeli government is a politically-motivated insult
Shulamit S. Magnus
No money to pay lone soldiers? Lies
It’s a crying shame that those who dedicate themselves to serving their country are not Israel’s priority
Dylan Richter
I’m an incidental Jew
All those measures that strengthen solidarity among Jews can alienate Jewish people like me, as being Jewish isn’t a core part of my identity
Miriam Schacter
I matter, but I don’t count: Reflections on saying Kaddish
In some places I could pray out loud, in others I could whisper. And then there were the shuls where men told me God didn’t want my prayer
Top Ops
Ashley Rindsberg
Don’t say the J-word
With or without Jews, England has always been anti-Semitic. The surprise is that Corbyn’s non-apology still surprises us
Sarah Gershman
How-tos for a festive, personalized Hanukkah
Stained-glass menorahs, snowflakes, and a walk in the dark are some of the many ways to make all 8 nights special
Jack Engel
I’ve changed my mind on Talmud study for women
The existence of a thriving, daily Talmud study led by and for women lays bare the erroneous ruling by the rabbis of yesteryear
Efraim Zuroff
Lithuanians dancing at a Jewish killing site spawned a brave theatrical work
Our book on Lithuania’s policy of downplaying its Holocaust atrocities and complicity inspired a dramatic work of social criticism
Kenneth Jacobson
Ben Gurion would never have guessed it
That looming enemy Iran is making Israel a lot of unexpected friends in the Middle East
Ahmad al Khaled
Trump’s raid for Syrian oil is not worth it
This infatuation with Syria’s resources was misguided to begin with, and paying for abandoned and destroyed facilities with the lives of US soldiers made it unforgivable
