As Jacob the patriarch had to split up his household for safety, this year we too are separated. And that’s a good thing
Danny Citrinowicz
It’s time for Egypt and Israel to finally warm up this cold peace
The relationship has been limited for far too long to security ties and top-level contact while Cairo continues to demonize Israelis

Israel and a values-driven President Biden
By
Ari Heistein

Jessica Levine Kupferberg
Pushing boundaries with Eruvin
I wasn’t yet learning Talmud when I campaigned for an eruv in California, but I knew it posed no risk to the local birds – nor to the locals who wanted to keep Jews out
Top Ops
Daniel Gordis
Who will steer our ship?
