‘Moser’ is one of the ugliest words in Judaism
By
Henry Abramson
This deadly accusation has a tragic history, linked to the assassination of Rabin, and to a vicious attack in Brooklyn just last week
Jack Schwartz
Amy Coney Barrett’s supporters count on her beliefs swaying her rulings
Given Judge Barrett’s profound commitment to sectarian doctrine, it is unlikely, regardless of her disclaimers, that she would miss the opportunity of reversing Roe
Jehuda Haddad
The PM’s ‘buy made-in-Israel’ initiative will backfire. Here’s the solution
Mandating preference for ’blue-and-white’ goods will drive up prices. There is one approach that really will work: Increase work productivity
Zak Jeffay
With one post, Mark Zuckerberg changed Holocaust education forever
The hatred of anti-Semites and Holocaust deniers that was allowed to germinate and grow in the fertile soil of cyberspace has suffered an unimaginable blow
COVID-19 hit my Orthodox Israeli town hard. Here’s how we stopped the spread.
By
Carol Green Ungar
Our rabbis, doctors and local government officials are all on the same page, and everyone – men, women, even small children – wears a mask
Blimi Marcus
Defiance and rampant desecration of God’s name in my Brooklyn neighborhood
Orthodox leadership could have encouraged my community to take the rules seriously and keep our loved ones safe. They failed… and worse
Rachel Gould

Yosef I. Abramowitz

Gal Gadot as Cleopatra is not whitewashing
By
Dani Ishai Behan
Those protesting casting for the film about an Egyptian ruler 2 millennia ago ignore historical facts, starting with Cleopatra’s ethnic origins
Top Ops
Pesach Benson
COVID-19 imperils local Jewish media. That’s bad news for everyone
As papers close, I worry about ’news black holes,’ where local journalism cannot serve its role as a watchdog or fill the niche Jewish needs that mainstream media cannot meet
Bernard Brode
How to help the elderly avoid COVID isolation
Get them onto social media, help them avoid scams and fake news, but also — go old school and write them a letter
David Sedley
Postscript
Dead men write no books, whether they’re known for their almanacs or for the Five Books of Moses (VeZot HaBerachah)
Judith Margolis Friedman
I’m out of the conservative closet. Now for the mass unfriending
To my liberal friends: The next time you want to vent your spleen on social media, please re-think yourself, so we can still be friends
