Navalny sacrificed his freedom to liberate Russia; now he needs our help
By
Rachel Sharansky Danziger
If I learned one thing growing up around veterans of the struggle for Soviet Jewry, it’s that dissidents need the world’s attention to keep them safe
Elias Rosenfeld
I’m a Jewish DACA recipient. Joe Biden has already changed my life
I graduated top of my class and went to Brandeis on a full scholarship. Then, I had to hide in my apartment out of fear of immigrant raids.
Ophir Falk
Consequential leaders
Few remember who succeeded Churchill and Netanyahu. For Biden to be more than just the man who followed Trump, he will need to make a difference.
Dov Lipman
Let our people come!
It’s sheer madness for a country of so many immigrants with relatives and businesses abroad to impose sudden, arbitrary flight bans
Naomi Chazan
Where have all the parties gone?
Too many instant alliances, personality-driven plans, and single-issue groups cannot substitute for robust political parties that balance the abuse of power by those in office
Anti-vaxxers and Israel’s own conspiracy theorists
By
Paul Gross
As Trumpian language creeps into the upcoming Knesset elections, it’s worth noting how much blaming powerful shadowy elites mirrors anti-Semitism
Micha Odenheimer
What we can learn from conspiracy theories
Millions of people across the globe, including Orthodox Jews, believe in these malignant narratives. How can we prevent these insane ideas from threatening democracy?
Joe Biden is the ‘Jewish’ president Israel needs
By
Aron Heller
Israelis can count on the US president to have their country’s most significant interests at heart, even if it comes with a dose of tough love
It’s time to expel Marjorie Taylor Greene from the House
There should be no place in the US Congress for the kind of hate in which she traffics
Ruthie Charendoff
Orthodox young women and sexual shame
Orthodox Jews aren’t supposed to touch before marriage, but many do anyway, and then suffer the guilt in silence. They need a safe way to talk about it
Sally Abrams
BCE (Before COVID Era) when we lived life in person
I remember when Shabbat and holidays meant an overflowing house, when we needed folding chairs lugged up from the basement
Eli Jacobs
At the intersection of two pandemics
Since my brother died of AIDS, I have met ’dinosaurs’ – those living inexplicably long lives with HIV. Today, they are coping with a second plague
Rachael Risby-Raz
Vaccinating Aaron
The day an ultra-Orthodox survivor of the horrors of Bergen Belsen blessed a Jewish convert from Australia, in the middle of the street in the holy city of Jerusalem
Francis Nataf
The real threat of COVID-19 to the religious community (and to our humanity)
Isolation can be hard, but it IS easier to pray alone, to not have guests on Shabbat, to lecture over Zoom instead of traveling for the face-to-face – and easier is dangerous

Amanda Gorman vs The Rabbis. Epic poetry battles of history
By
Danny Paller
Millennia before America’s brilliant youth poet laureate was wielding wise words, the Talmud’s sages could amaze with a turn of phrase
Top Ops
Bishara A. Bahbah
Necessary steps toward an Israel-Palestine peace deal
Under Biden, there’s a chance to resume the process. For its part, Israel must decide whether it is truly committed to a two-state solution
Jonathan Feldman
Rabbi Dr. Avraham Twerski zt”l: Fearless advocate for victims of abuse
Raising taboo issues, from therapy and mental illness to addiction and sexual abuse, he pushed the Jewish community to accept and protect the victims
Sally Berkovic
My digital death: Who will be my executor?
On leaving behind a script for your inevitable hologram to say, and other posthumous legacy challenges we never faced before
Jamie Geller
Amanda Gorman and what it means to have a chance to shine
Every powerful, passionate young Jewish woman out there needs to get the message that we need her voice
Caleb Guedes-Reed
As I was converting to Judaism, I found myself in a hot tub full of neo-Nazis
Undressed in the bath with skinheads, I started rethinking my choice to become a Jew, for the first time
Shulamit S. Magnus
Congratulations, Gilad Kariv. Now please, don’t sell us out.
The Reform rabbi and Labor Party official signed on to the 2017 Kotel deal that would have immensely expanded Haredi establishment power
