From the blogs
The Abraham Accord is the starting point for radical tolerance and love in our region
By
Shamma Sohail AlMazrui
UAE Youth Affairs Minister: ’May our common humanity unite us and may our common faith in a brighter future heal this wounded world.’
Natan Sharansky
With Yuri Orlov’s bold vision, we lit a fire under the Soviet regime
My fellow USSR dissident, who died Sunday, was jailed and exiled for making sure that the truth couldn’t be buried in the KGB’s dungeons
Yair Lapid
The Netanyahu failure: A lockdown with no plan
With inaction and political bickering and with no clear exit strategy, the government has abandoned its public
Yoseph Haddad
The other pandemic: Racism
A Jewish settlement blocked an Israeli Arab medic’s entry based solely on his race. When I inquired, I was shocked to learn that I too would be barred
Joseph Gitler
Lockdown is already wreaking hunger in Israel… again
As stomachs rumble across the nation, our food distribution charity is again busier than ever, but it’s hard to ask donors to give yet again
Julio Messer
When Ruth Bader Ginsburg got it wrong on Pollard
Justice Ginsburg’s ruling in an appeal against the spy’s life sentence exacerbated existing divisions within the Jewish American community
My Jewish love of Christmas lights
By
Arella Mayer
Sukkot, the most aesthetic, welcoming and creative Jewish holiday, is my seven day antidote to Christmas envy
Uri Pilichowski
AOC reveals her true colors
The congresswoman’s withdrawal from an event honoring Yitzhak Rabin proves progressives and Palestinian activists have no interest in peace
Shoshanna Keats Jaskoll
Where the streets have no (female) names
When ’Anne Frank Street’ was deemed immodest by some local ultra-Orthodox extremists, the mayor compromised, but ’Frank Street’ doesn’t do her memory justice
This is unsustainable
By
Bracha Goldstein
Who am I to write of pain? Who am I to air my struggle, when so many cannot inhale? My son turned 10 in lockdown, my daughter 13. Who am I to say this is unsustainable?
Top Ops
Jessica Levine Kupferberg
Will Ushpiz follow the rules?
Weary of everything Covid? Me too, so I helped create a family friendly health campaign, with ’punny’ posters to decorate your sukkah and lighten the mood
Pamela Laufer-Ukeles
Our treehouse minyan taught me about empowerment
With a prayer group of just 20, every person had to be fully present and fully responsible. The same goes for how we each handle the Covid crisis.
Sam Lehman-Wilzig
The oldest Jewish tradition of all: Protest
The good news: Jews tend to be highly ethical, and arguing leads to thinking out of the box. The bad news: in a health emergency, Israelis can’t get it together
Yehudah Mirsky
On Yom Kippur, what if we can’t forgive our enemies?
At this time of rage and rancor, it’s hard not to hate – truly hate – those whom we oppose. Can we just let ourselves off the hook this year?
