Amir Bar Shalom
Hezbollah plays by tit-for-tat – and it wants blood
Seeking to avoid escalation, Israel has accepted the terror organization’s framework, which applies in Syria as well as Lebanon
Mark Zuckerberg, kick Holocaust denial off Facebook now
By
Gideon Taylor
The social media giant has ignored requests to get rid of this hate speech. Will it finally respond to anguished pleas from survivors themselves?
Tamar Hermann
A tale of two protests in two cities (and Jerusalem wins)
Tel Aviv ’s laid back, spread out goody-goodies are no match for the packed, resolute throngs facing down police water cannons in the capital
Analysis
Irene Rabinowitz
Anarchy is not activism
Israel is a messy democracy, it’s true, but it surely is not a fascist state or even this platform with its various ideas would be shut down
Ruthi Soudack
For these I weep
After 32 years of living in Israel, this is the first time I wish I didn’t live here. And yet I’m heartened by the protestors and by a bare breasted woman
Yael Leibowitz
Shattered symbols
Can we live up to the indestructible chain of Jewish history that the Israeli menorah represents, in the face of our heritage of severe infighting?
Barrie Wilson
The Temple, the messiah and Jesus
Depicting the Temple’s destruction as punishment for the death of Christ has no grounding in Hebrew scriptures’ ideas on messiah
As if the tragedy were happening today
By
Jennifer Raskas
Our present experience of quarantine and isolation can help us connect with the timeless sorrow for a destroyed Jerusalem
Rachel Sharansky Danziger
The days after Tisha B’Av
Mourning on its own will not revive the spirit of the Temple. We must connect with other people until we are free to truly live and truly love
Eitan Regev
It’s a grand new housing plan, except for the fine print
Subsidizing cheap old apartments in poor towns won’t solve the housing shortage for the ultra-Orthodox, but it will destroy those towns’ social fabric
Molly Livingstone
You can’t quarantine a 3-year-old in her room alone
Does our isolation really matter, when the government changes the rules every few minutes and the police write mask tickets with their own masks hanging off their ears?
Melissa Henriquez
The pandemic is hard enough for parents without school-shaming
It’s the newest front in Mommy Wars: Plan to send your kids to school? You must hate teachers. Want to keep them home? You’re a sheep.
Is it safe to send them back to school?
By
Rachel M. Roth
Here are 3 key points for the Ministry of Education to keep in mind as they make decisions, and a little strategy to help keep our kids safe
Emily Cohen
A Jewish boycott of Twitter could backfire
The 2-day strike to protest Twitter’s handling of anti-Semitism has a whiff of anti-Black racism, and, in any case, silence is not the answer
Top Ops
Bazy Swirsky Rubin
The psych ward, my baby, and Tisha B’Av
Is it just me, or does everybody focus on their own painful memories instead of sorrowing for the loss of something we never experienced firsthand?
Uriel Heilman
Why can’t I find mint chocolate chip ice cream in Israel?
At first, I just did without, but then COVID-19 shut down the world, and obtaining my favorite flavor became my pandemic obsession
Sally Abrams
Making family memories despite the obstacles
What will children living in close corona lockdown quarters take from this time? What will become their magical childhood moments?
Arieh Kovler
We’ve stopped caring that people are dying
The new wave is not less harmful than the first: 59 (and counting) Israelis died of COVID-19 this past week alone
Yaakov Hagoel
Jabotinsky in the mirror of reality
The father of Revisionist Zionism knew what we keep relearning: Applying sovereignty to Jews in all parts of the Land of Israel is inevitable
Douglas Aronin
Eulogy for a newspaper: Thoughts of a Jewish Week reader
Shifting to digital should serve the paper well, but I mourn the end of this era of the Jewish paper of my youth and its grand old Jewishly engaged readership
