A Satmar rebbe for a Shabbos
By
Joshua Berman
Invited to Williamsburg to speak about orthodoxy and biblical criticism, I discovered a world of incredible beauty – and searing pain
Gilad Erdan
The climate threat can widen the circle of Mideast peace
In a region where countries face the same arid climate, expanding the Abraham Accords to more nations will enable us to cooperate on securing a better future for our children
Yosef I. Abramowitz
Theodor Herzl, environmentalist
With Earth Day falling on Herzl Day, it’s worth noting that the father of political Zionism envisioned a green land with electric trains, trams and tractors
Devorah Titunik
The Chauvin trial: This Jew’s perspective
I felt tears of relief on my cheeks as the verdict was read. It doesn’t solve the US problems of hate and racism – there’s still a lot of work to do. But it’s a start
Yehuda Kurtzer
A House bill on Israel is flawed, but our Jewish civil war is worse
The organized Jewish community has to open a wider lane than what now exists for political progressives to stay engaged with Israeli policy
Isaac Herzog
and
Omer Yankelevitch
Zionism’s new global mission
A young Shalom Corps volunteer from Mexico embodies today’s paradigm shift: Jews can now look beyond survival and invest energy in elevating the entire world
Ephraim Asculai
With Iran, we are at a nuclear crossroads
As Iran nudges its uranium enrichment perilously close to weapons-grade level, an existentially threatened Israel would have to go it alone
A story of a thousand runs: Why I love my Christian neighbor
By
Judith Margolis Friedman
We both are focused on family, we both believe in personal responsibility and free will, and we both believe that ultimately our fate is in God’s hands
Andrea Samuels
A Brit’s desire for salt and vinegar crisps in Israel
Until now, this favorite flavour was the stuff of dreams. Ex-pats like me thought the very whiff of a rumor of the crisps’ arrival was a hoax. I couldn’t be more glad to be wrong!
‘Albert Sabin’ isn’t a household name, like ‘Jonas Salk,’ but maybe it should be
By
Zack Rothbart
Once you’ve helped eradicate polio, you might as well go for establishing peace in the Middle East – what’s one more challenge?
Gil Troy
Israel education as a personal journey toward meaning
The pedagogy of ‘Identity Zionism’ offers a richer and more affirmative lens through which to view Israel education
Sara Yael Hirschhorn
Whither Israel education without Israel?
The pandemic-induced travel ban offers a chance to consider whether Israel trips offer not just profound feeling, but deep knowledge
When Torah hurts
By
Emily Volz
It is a unique pain when your beloved multi-millennial tradition states that who you are is an abomination, a specific sorrow when something you love cannot fully love you back
Sarah Tuttle-Singer
I saw more people smiling in 15 minutes than I saw in an entire year
With masks now off, I feel gratitude….big enough to contain the misery and the terror and the boredom and the loneliness of this past year
Daniella Levy
The Year of the Introvert
I have a confession: I don’t know if I’m ready to take my mask off yet. And it’s not because I’m worried about the virus
Uri Pilichowski
McCollum’s bill to Keep Palestinian terrorists free
In America, young murderers are imprisoned. So, why would American lawmakers object to justice in the case of a young Palestinian murderer?
Top Ops
Dan Perry
My love for an Israel-hating Egyptian writer
Disclosing my Zionist ties would have likely put a swift end to my chance encounter in Cairo with the literary genius Alaa Aswany.
Yosef Blau
When loyalty to the group means bad behavior gets excused
The biblical forbears set a high bar for loyalty without losing clarity of right and wrong. Israel needs to balance that same sense of fairness
Shai Bazak
What price democracy in the Palestinian territories?
With Hamas still sworn to Israel’s destruction, Europe must warn the PA it won’t fund a government that includes terrorists
Naomi Chazan
In search of a new normal
Israel is in a period of transition that is fraught with uncertainty. It is also bursting with activity and unusual creativity that just may bode well for change
