By
Sivan Rahav Meir
If corona has taught us anything, it is the need for humanity to be humble. We have learned how limited and fragile we are.

Non-compliance on flights is dangerous, immoral and illegal – police should be enforcing the law where it’s most needed
Lea Thomas
The mental rollercoaster of being a student shut out of Israel

High Court ruling or not, the Shin Bet’s ‘Tool’ will still be watching you
By
Amir Cahane
Israel needs independent oversight for handling the vast amounts of our personal data still being gathered – till then, keep your phone on pilot mode
Ron Kronish
Bibi-ism and Kahanism in Israel’s elections
A new coalition of far-right parties means Netanyahu may form the most anti-democratic, illiberal, extremist coalition Israel has ever known
Nitsana Darshan-Leitner
US aid restored by Biden won’t go to Palestinian terrorists? Wishful thinking
The new president resumed funding after the PA said it would keep US money out of terrorists’ hands. We’ve heard that promise before.
The Jewish muscleman who likely inspired the creators of Superman
By
Tzvi Sinensky
Sigmund Breitbart, who performed feats of strength a hundred years ago, wasn’t just very strong, he was also a very proud Jew…and a very sweet guy
Lyn Julius
The man who flew 120,000 Iraqi Jews to Israel

Israel is having a hard time establishing gender parity in government; would quotas for women in key positions expedite the process?
Yaakov Kermaier
In search of quintessential Israel and a gluten-free chocolate éclair

Effie the sassy gym bubbe and her very special Hebrish
By
Sharon Avni
Despite her thick American accent, the immigrant grandma interviewed on TV had no problem communicating. Linguists call it translanguaging.
Top Ops
Nathaniel Helfgot
The real problem with anti-Zionism
It’s not necessarily anti-Semitism, it’s the notion that Jews are not entitled to self-determination in any part of their ancestral homeland
Naomi Chazan
3 ways the coronavirus increases gender inequity
The pandemic is hitting women hard, and Israel isn’t prepared to do what it takes to level the playing field
Anton Marks
Led by a woman is reason enough
Why is Labor’s Merav Michaeli the only female heading a party? Here are some milestones along the rocky road to women taking hold of their right to be elected
