Navah Harlow
You need to discuss your end-of-life treatment choices now
All adults should make their advance medical directives known: Do it for yourself, and for health workers struggling with the pandemic’s agonizing load

Coronavirus would be catastrophic for us in the Gaza Strip

Coronavirus and my husband’s shoelaces
By
Diana Bletter

Top Ops
Naomi Chazan

The rule of law and the norms of governance have been all but unraveled — we’re looking at a multi-system failure of Israeli democracy
Ofer Kenig
A jumbo-size government? Now? Really?
Reports of a 30- to 34-minister cabinet in the works beg for a public outcry: Costly, inefficient and divisive is not what we need today
Ethan Eisen
For Passover and beyond, Israel needs a ’Loneliness Czar’
The social disconnection that will be felt so acutely during the upcoming holiday, will continue to impact our society for months to come
