When the witness to your wedding breaks Jewish law, he’s not a valid witness, and your wedding didn’t count. It shouldn’t take the Supreme Court to confirm that, but it just might
From the blogs
How I became Chief Rabbi of the UAE and why that matters to global Jewry
By
Yehuda Sarna
At times, I can hardly believe the things that have happened to me. But these stories are not just about me and not just about the Jews in the Emirates
Alon Goshen-Gottstein
Going to pray in Uman during a pandemic is not a right
As a frequent pilgrim to the site, I say the religious question is not whether you will get sick. It is whether you will make others sick. And you will.
Gidon Bromberg

From the blogs
Netanyahu’s identity crisis
By
Donniel Hartman
Israel needs the great leader who takes risks for peace and forgoes military excess, not the petty politician who puts his own interests first
Akiva Gersh

Strength to the Democratic National Convention, for in this time of national crisis, every person has the potential to serve as an agent of change
Lazar Berman

Sarah Tuttle-Singer
I talked to my 10-year-old son about consent today
I’m doing my part to make sure that my kid grows up to never rape a 16-year-old in Eilat (or any age, anywhere). What more can we do?
Top Ops
Dillon Hosier

The law mandates teaching ethnic studies in high school and college. The disturbing flaws in the first draft curriculum have largely been remedied
Jodi Samuels
The stranger among us
How to fight cruelty to vulnerable people: First, pay attention. Then, go get their money back from the loan sharks and pawnbrokers
David Sedley
Breaking barriers
Safe and secure boundaries prevent struggles and enmity between neighbors, and allow for long lasting peace, which can be extended far and wide (Shofetim)
Gilad Cohen
