The Jewish nightmare of Bernie vs. Trump
By
Yossi Klein Halevi
In his first months in office, President Trump emboldened the far-right fringe. President Sanders would do the same with the far left
Sarah Shapiro
Senator Mitt Romney, as an Orthodox Jew I thank you
Should we be lending unqualified support to a president whose manner of speech violates an essential pillar of Judaism?
Gideon Remez
Lt. Col. Vindman, the IDF needs you!
The Trump impeachment witness — eligible to become Israeli — could teach our army a thing or two about speaking truth to power
Haim Bibas
The budget crisis’ toll on Israel’s most vulnerable
As unfunded social programs collapse, local governments have stepped in — but they need greater autonomy to serve their constituents
Adi Weitzhandler
Are you afraid of Corona or of China?
The criticism and ostracizing of the Chinese is unprecedented and unjustified, in light of previous outbreaks elsewhere and the government’s extensive safe-guarding
Why the world needs to remember Ilan Halimi
By
Jonathan A. Greenblatt
On release of a new book about the horrific kidnapping and murder: The story is about far more than one French Jewish family’s tragedy
Jonathan Muskat
Kobe Bryant and the elephant in the room
The basketball legend who died a tragic death was also accused of rape. We have Biblical precedent to not sugarcoat the lives of our heroes
Shoshanna Keats Jaskoll

One video shows a lot of woman, the other shows nearly none. Together, they reflect the damaging extremes of both secular and religious society
Yoni Leviatan
From Egypt to Exodus: The elite host of 1950s Israel
At a time when most Israelis barely got by, my grandfather was living like a king in a villa on the shores of the Mediterranean
My grass is greener now
By
Ruth Hametz
Jay Shofet
This Tu BiShvat, don’t plant a tree in Israel
KKL-JNF’s pine forests have done more harm than good: they contribute to climate change and disrupt Israel’s unique biodiversity
Doron Markel
Debunking misconceptions: KKL-JNF fights climate change
The biodiverse forests of today’s KKL-JNF are Israel’s only tool to actively absorb the excess carbon dioxide in the atmosphere
Yael Leibowitz
The Jewish Woman’s Bible
A millennia-old book of the Bible demonstrates just how warped society can get without women’s active participation
The day he met the driver of the truck that killed his wife
By
Sivan Rahav Meir
Reut Schwartz was sensitive to the grief of life — encouraging the perpetrator of this tragic loss to move on is exactly what she’d do
Top Ops
Yitzchak Blau
Donating kidneys and Daf Yomi
Scientific advances and the changing role of women are features of modernity that have enhanced religious Jewish life
Jeremy Issacharoff
Ambassador’s notebook: Entering Auschwitz with the German president
Through the tears, the joint journey into the past showed how far we have come in building better ties between both peoples
Golda Hutchison
Was making aliyah defying my mother’s wishes?
I couldn’t ask her directly – I was just a kid when she died; then my dad gave me her journal and I felt her beside me
Shlomo Fischer
The anti-Semites have made the ultra-Orthodox visible
Hasidim would do well to join forces with America’s non-Orthodox Jews, instead of holding themselves apart
