Is the state really AC or is AC a state of mind?
By
Haviva Ner-David
In this supposed ’After Corona’ world, I’m more frightened than ever, not just of dying, but of dying alone, separated from my children
Sarah Tuttle-Singer
COVID-19: I didn’t bake bread
I mourned. I prayed. I had no epiphanies. I drank less than I thought I would. But I ate more ice cream and cookies.
Daniel B. Shapiro
Democrats’ stand on annexation poses a dilemma for Israel
Not only because Joe Biden may soon sit in the White House, but because his party’s opposition to a unilateral move is rooted in bipartisan support for Israel
Alan Solow
A unilateral West Bank land grab would imperil Israel
The imposition of West Bank annexation without Palestinian consent would set a precedent that could damage Israel’s long-term interests
Arieh Kovler
Reopening the synagogues is a mistake
Shul has already been a proven source of the COVID-19 infection in Israel; given proximity and singing, the risk of super-spreading is just too great
Shimshon HaKohen Nadel
A spiritual exit strategy
Will things go back to normal? No. But I pray we emerge from this pandemic just a little softer, gentler, and kinder
Yuval Cherlow
Read your lips? It’s not possible when you wear a mask
Adaptations such as Zoom conferencing for coping with coronavirus often leave out those with disabilities. As a society, we must do better
Gideon Remez
Alas, poor El Al – my granddad named it
The venerable state enterprise established by the founders may not deserve a bailout, but who will extricate Israelis in the next emergency?
Ora Griv
Abu Kabir is our home. How dare Tel Aviv try to kick us out.
We’ll tell the Supreme Court how the Ashkenazi elite sent us to live in a barren, dangerous neighborhood and now want our home for luxury condos
Ilana Goldstein Saks
Sabbatical in the fifth year
The idea of rebooting our rushed, overworked society seemed unattainable: how could we just stop, so the earth could rest and heal? Now we know we can
Jerusalem divided: 1947
By
Daniel Chertoff
It was a ’hodgepodge’ of neighborhoods. Today, with Arabs and Jews on the corona frontlines, the fissures are slowly fading
Eyal Hareuveni
Issawiya and the myth of a united Jerusalem
The city is, in fact, deeply divided, with East Jerusalem communities suffering the often violent effects of the authorities’ deliberate no-planning policy
Top Ops
Tzivi Nochenson
For all that is holy, don’t tell me how to cover my hair
No, I didn’t cause the corona crisis by wearing a wig, and no, forbidding wigs is not the first thing Moshiach will do when he arrives
Bazy Swirsky Rubin
I am 22, here for the senior citizen’s tour
They say that studying history makes you lose faith in humanity, but when I focus on people’s stories, I fall in love with humanity over and over again
Diana Barshaw Rich
Age of consent
The gross underestimation of older people and their ability to determine their own fates was strong in Israel long before COVID-19
Marla Cohen
Coronavirus and the Jewish space/time continuum
I miss shul and the JCC, and Havdalah via Zoom just isn’t the same; it’s as if someone hit an enormous pause button for Jewish life with no plans of releasing it any time soon
Dan Perry
The foreign media is not anti-Israel
Most correspondents stationed here accept the country’s right to exist; what they don’t accept is Israel’s occupation of the West Bank
Jenni Frazer
Raise a glass to the daring captors of May 1960
Those who brought Adolf Eichmann to justice reflected the ’can-do’ attitude the prevailed in the deprivations of pre-’67 Israel
