From the blogs
My close friend was a covert Christian missionary
By
Amanda Bradley
I hate that she betrayed my trust and can’t restore it, but what I hate even more is that she destroyed our ability to trust each other
Houda Nonoo
Ramadan reminds me how lucky I am to be a Jew living in the Gulf
We go to their iftar meals, they came to our synagogue opening. What more do we need to prove our culture of peace, dialogue, and coexistence?
Jonathan A. Greenblatt
ADL’s antisemitism audit: A tsunami of hate in 2020
The dark conspiracy chatter of obscure internet communities that inspired the Poway shooter has infected the public conversation
David Harris
Antisemitism and four travesties of justice
With violence against Jews being recast by European courts, the words ’Never again’ lose their meaning. Justice must accompany those words
Adele Raemer
Our rockets are back
Once again I’m running for safety in the middle of the night, closing my saferoom’s iron shutters – with my granddaughter’s 6th birthday party canceled
Marian Wendt
As Israel strides toward peace, Germany must get off the sidelines
We need to stop castigating the Jewish state, admit the Oslo process is no longer viable, and embrace structural change in the Middle East
Yirmiyahu Danzig
Deporting African Hebrews is a betrayal of Zionism and Jewish values
The Interior Minister has been actively discriminating against this community, and against African American Jews in general
This year, they will know more
By
Miriam Reisler
When you’re a teacher who knows your students can achieve so much more than they’ve been offered, sometimes all you can do is step up and create the opportunity for them yourself
Nadav Tamir
US aid should serve security purposes only
The US is justified in ensuring that its aid bolsters American values and not the occupation and unjustified actions against Palestinians.
Tammy Hoffman
Why don’t we talk to the teachers?
The pandemic offers a chance for much-needed educational reform, but the way schools have rushed back to the old normal suggests that nothing that needs to change will change
Michael Rothbaum
If rabbis can’t talk about public policy, what’s the point of Torah?
What is this tradition of ours? A faded scrapbook of pleasant memories? A vague sense of connection to a beloved grandparent? Does the Torah offer no guidance for the modern era?
Nitzan Caspi Shilony
Smotrich, chained wives, and the Superman effect
This MK is not the first to step in to save an agunah, and he won’t be the last, but he may be doing more harm than good
Robyn Frisch
Lag B’Omer is all the rage in Israel — here’s a primer for the uninitiated
Many Diaspora Jews have never heard of the holiday, but it’s time we embraced it and learned to enjoy it. Here’s how.
Spring always comes
By
Penny Cagan
Taking a walk in New York City, after hibernating during this endless COVID winter, reminds me that I am vulnerable in the new season – and also filled with hope
Sherri Mandell
Twenty years on
We have worked hard to transcend the loss of a son murdered by terrorists, but the bull’s eye of grief and trauma at the center of everything never goes away
Top Ops
Dan Perry
Direct election may work – but only after Netanyahu goes
A pathway to choosing a clear leader who would have legitimacy and clout could bring clarity to Israel’s fractured political landscape
Baruch Tenembaum
Remembering the victims of the Armenian genocide
I believe Jews and Armenians are brothers and I am befuddled that so many countries, including Israel, find it so difficult to acknowledge history
Silvia Foti
Lithuania’s 80-year denial of its Holocaust role: That’s gaslighting
Ultra-patriots claim my grandfather could not really have wanted to kill Jews; he must have been forced to do so. I believe he had a choice
Marianne Novak
It’s about language, stupid!
When scholars use jargon, the public cannot understand their insights, as was the case in the recent debate over rehabilitating Steven M. Cohen
