Jewish law introduces us to the ’cheat’ who relishes duping those under his power. The sages declare, ’We have no responsibility toward cheats.’
Alan Abrams
The cosplay Nazis of the Capitol rotunda
When we group Trumpists together with real Nazis, we blind ourselves to pain they feel – which we must see before we can expect them to see the pain of others
Jonathan Dekel-Chen

Ilai Z. Saltzman

If the Sea of Galilee could speak: Religion after Corona
By
Haviva Ner-David
