Learning to believe again
By
Neshama Carlebach
On this new stage of my journey, my father is no longer the center of my healing process; I now know we each have our own inner work to do
Lynette Nusbacher
Soleimani: A death well spent
It is not wrong to kill a professional soldier in a war zone, but it is counterproductive to kill competent senior technocrats
Bob Feferman
The Middle East is a better place after Soleimani
The Quds Force commander was a war criminal whose zeal to obliterate Israel exceeded that of the Iranian leadership
Daniel Markind
Israeli natural gas: The other event that rocked the Middle East
Israel’s emergence as a regional natural gas power forces its neighbors to choose between rejectionism and prosperity
Yosef Blau
The year religious Zionism became irrelevant
Israeli Jews are struggling to define the relationship between being Israeli and being Jewish, and the traditional moral beacon can no longer guide them
To Monsey, with love, from Alon Shvut
By
Avi Ganz
Our community has experienced the tragedy of a murderous attack on Jews and we know the value of a consoling gesture
Joseph Biden
My plan to fight anti-Semitism
Gun control laws, anti-terror legislation, and a US Department of Justice that prosecutes hate crimes, for there is no place for such vitriol in this country
Jonathan Sacks
The keys to understanding American anti-Semitism — and fighting back
Tighten security, build alliances, and, whatever the threats, heed Hanukkah’s lesson to always take pride in being Jewish
Shmuly Yanklowitz
Spiritual resistance: Purge your own prejudices
When we are targeted with hate, we must fight it, but we must also ensure that hatred and bigotry do not exist among ourselves
Marvin Hier
We need a 2020 plan for fighting the anti-Semitism epidemic
A special FBI task force must be set up to tackle the rising tide of deadly hate that stems from the double standard Jews face worldwide
Tamar Sternthal
Beyond levity: The New York Times’s 2019 ethical failures
If only goofing the caption of an Israeli political poster was the most egregious anti-Israel error by the paper of record
Archie Gottesman
We will never JewBarrass you
Irreverent and welcoming, JewBelong (’for when you feel you don’t’) offers opportunities to find meaning and connection
I thought of my daughter as the women said hadran
By
Rachel Sharansky Danziger
Women learning Talmud were once dismissed as eccentrics, but who would dare dismiss that crowded stage, and that packed hall?
Noam Stein
Of course girls should study Talmud
This enterprise shapes the way we think, reformulates our experience of the world, directs our behavior, and creates a pathway for our connection to God
Top Ops
Christina Lin
China might take Iran’s side in a war with US
Beijing’s ties with Tehran are crucial to its geopolitical strategies. With Moscow also in the mix, a broader conflagration is a real possibility
Jeff Robbins
Democrats’ discouraging knee-jerk reaction to Soleimani
Dems can and should slam Trump, but they must also show a willingness to take action to prevent evil people from doing evil things
Loolwa Khazzoom
Why I identify as Israeli
It is the thread connecting me to all who came before me – from the nomadic tribe of Israel to my 80+-year-old relatives living in Tel Aviv
Claire Trilling
Crime and violence in Israel’s Bedouin communities
Sensitive issues – revenge killings, violence against women, crime rates among youth – cannot be untangled from the changing and uncertain role of tribes and tribal values
Naomi Chazan
Yuli Edelstein: Between the devil and the deep blue sea
If the speaker of the Knesset does not stand firmly behind the institution he heads, he will be responsible for its effective disintegration
Yuval Cherlow
Today we fast for a Jerusalem of peace and justice
On Tevet 10, the Babylonians invaded. They were able to conquer the city because the Jewish people had — and still has — lost its way
Seffi Kogen
Wear your Jewish pride
Time for us to strut our Jewish stuff: On Monday, every American Jew should rock a kippah, flash a magen david or don a Hebrew T-shirt
Rokhl Kafrissen
For ‘Fiddler’ in Yiddish, they clap. For Yiddish itself? Gornisht
The search for roots and longing to connect has to compete with the toxic effect of centuries of internalized Jew-hatred
