The many compelling arguments we’ll make to explain and justify it still won’t undo the steep price Israel will pay for taking this unpopular step
Julio Messer
Annexation will not end Israel’s peace with Jordan
King Abdullah knows canceling the treaty might be popular now, but the long-term impact will be more poverty and, potentially, destabilization
PHOTO ESSAY: Societal collapse during the coronavirus outbreak
By
Guy Shilo
As I felt the struggle of unemployment myself, I went out to the streets to document the stories of others who were facing the same situation, each with their own story
Paula Weiman-Kelman
Rachel Cowan’s wisdom on dying – and living – could help us now
The late rabbi, an influential mindfulness teacher whose final months I documented in a film, showed how despair is a luxury we cannot afford
Aaron Fruchtman
I tested positive for the coronavirus yesterday

Alon Goshen-Gottstein
Coronaspection: Religious understanding in corona times

Aviva Yoselis
How far do we go to protect our parents from COVID-19?

Top Ops
Dana Gur
’The captain has turned on the Face Mask sign’

Eve Young
You bet my prayer is political
We always pray for a better world – and politics should be the way we make it happen
Naomi Chazan
Israel too must wrestle with memory, monuments and history
What does BLM activists’ toppling of Confederate statues in the US have to do with Israelis and Palestinians? Everything
Lisa Kainan
Homeschooling
Has your recent stint teaching your children at home made you reconsider the value of their school system? You have options
Ariel Finkelstein
Turning back the clock on religious services
The Israeli religious courts are being handed back to the religious parties — what are the odds that they’ll rise to the challenge of professionalism this time?
Diana Barshaw Rich
