Elyazia AlHosani
Peace with Israel is in our national interest
Our region can no longer remain captive to the destructive ideas of extremists who view history as a continuum of inevitable conflict
What I’ve learned about Emirati culture as the chief rabbi’s wife
By
Michelle Waldman Sarna
Jews in Israel and the Diaspora must seek ways to balance our realistic fears with openness toward those Muslims who are approaching us in peace
Alon Ushpiz
Today’s extraordinary diplomatic achievements were years in the making
Foreign Ministry emissaries have been quietly working behind the scenes in the Gulf with the singular goal of ensuring this peace will be a warm one
Ron Machol
Israel is awash in colors
LGBT rights, environmental activism, being indigenous, and solving water scarcity – these have all been used to lambaste the Jewish state
Hallelujah! Israel finally passed a bottle deposit law
By
Alon Tal
When colleagues and I drafted the country’s first bill mandating deposit fees on all beverage containers, we never thought it would take 25 years to pass
Naomi Chazan
Somewhere between fragmentation and breakdown
Discrimination, incitement, selective enforcement and institutional manipulation are the problem; it’ll take reconfiguring the country to find the solution
Bishara A. Bahbah
Will a Biden presidency usher in Israeli-Palestinian peace?
He won’t have the power or the chutzpah to force both sides to the table; the PA should have taken Trump’s last-ditch offer from Ron Lauder
Dov Waxman
So, you think Trump has been good for Israel?
Think again. This administration has damaged Israel’s core interests, ceding its honest broker role while over-hyping the UAE deal
Rifka Lebowitz

The new law recognizes that no access to money can be the hell of an abusive situation, and it is designed to enable the abused party to leave
Seth Farber
‘Large Jewish weddings’ and the arrogance of political power
On Aryeh Deri’s push to exempt weddings from pandemic restrictions because he, and he alone, understands Jewish values and traditions
Stop trying to kill my mother

Yoseif Bloch
Israel needs the government to be a grownup and stop rushing into opening back up

Judy Krasna
Far more of a gift than a burden
My daughter’s suicide has left me feeling intense grief, indescribable sadness, and immense sorrow, but not a shred of anger at her
Top Ops
Nathan Lewin
Judge Amy Coney Barrett has met Jews before
The US Supreme Court nominee joined my firm and worked on behalf of Hasidim and on my ’public menorah’ team; I am confident that she’ll uphold religious liberties for all
Kylie Ora Lobell
I thought anti-Semitism was a thing of the past. Then I became Jewish.
When I tell my family I want to move to Israel, they ask why I’d want to move so far away. I tell them I want to survive.
Michael Helfand
Dear New York, here’s how not to seem anti-Semitic during COVID
After coming across as unfairly singling out Jewish neighborhoods, the state must do better at explaining the numbers and the science
Kenneth S. Stern
Examined Zionism: Mira Sucharov and belonging
In a thoughtful memoir, the author dives deep into her complex relationship with Israel: A chapter on cancel culture takes on the BDS litmus test
Robert Sugarman
