Stranded in paradise: How we got home, the grand finale (3 of 3)
By
Hilary Faverman
What’s 65 hours of travel through 3 international airports, and lost luggage, when our destination was Israel (quarantine notwithstanding)?
From the blogs
Chavi Eve Karkowsky
At my hospital, we’re hearing a new COVID-19 tune
’Happy Code’ gives us a few seconds of respite from the uncertainty, anxiety and sadness at our frontline New York medical center
Ronald S. Lauder
The Jewish imperative for the post-corona world
Globalization will wane, nationalism will rise: we must act now to re-embrace our age-old ethos of mutual responsibility and love-of-Israel
From the blogs
Only the center can hold: Democracy and the battle of ideas
By
Yair Lapid
Neither the left’s radical universalism nor the extreme nationalism of Netanyahu’s right: A manifesto for a shared Israeli future
Irwin Cotler
The pandemic and asylum seekers: Threat and response
African asylum seekers are more of an asset to Israel than a burden; when the country ties up their funds with the Deposit Law, it penalizes the very people it should be helping
Pamela Laufer-Ukeles
Women and public prayer, or why I nearly lost my mind on Saturday night
It is one thing to count only men to create a minyan; it is quite another to make a law that restricts public prayer to only men
Daniella Levy
Dear schools: Let us parents go
Ideally, every child would have a device loaded with educational apps; absent that, missing some months of school won’t turn the entire generation into illiterate good-for-nothings
An Earth Day like no other
By
Akiva Gersh
Even as we grieve and rage over the death and destruction that this virus has wreaked, it is impossible not to notice the drastic benefit to the environment
Allan Jacob
How to re-start the start-up nation (for real)
The plan to keep everyone safe, and also let people resume their lives begins with full quarantine for the vulnerable, and ends with intense testing to know who that is
The day I left Bergen-Belsen
By
Eddy Boas
They were shipping us to Theresianstadt, but when my 9-year-old brother jumped from the train to find food, he discovered the Russian army
Jeremy Kalmanofsky
Yeshivas that refuse to teach math, science…or the Holocaust
New York ultra-Orthodox schools must open up their curricula to secular studies, including history — especially the history of the Shoah
Izzy Posen
‘Unorthodox’ overlooked the humanity of my old Satmar community
Instead of accepting the view of one who felt trapped and left the Hasidic world, what if we try to understand how it feels to be part of it from the inside?
Top Ops
Laura Kam
‘Everything boils down to luck’: A Holocaust lesson for today
’One day my father went to Brussels and got caught by the SS. One day you go to the supermarket and you get caught by the virus’
Florence Berkowitz-Siegelberg
Germany’s remorse
I believe the reparation payments to Holocaust survivors like my parents helped us take a step on the long path to healing
Betsalel Steinhart
The Torah scroll in Tarnogrod
I spotted four columns of Hebrew text on parchment full of holes and blackened with age and dirt hanging up upside-down in a Polish library. What was I to do?
Naftali Moses
Of memory smashed and made whole
It was a night of blood and a brutal attack on a woman that provoked an entire clan to pick themselves up, cross the ocean, and make a new life for themselves in the West
Melanie Landau
I didn’t realize how much my grandmother’s trauma affected me
What do you say when your child asks what a gas chamber is? I had hoped to ease my children into the family history, and keep away from the ’victim narrative’
Rena Magun
Before the Corona and after the Corona
My parents’ rules when I was growing up have taken on a whole new meaning: they lived in fear of infectious disease when they were eluding the Nazis, and I get it now
