By
Kenneth Jacobson
In leaving Israel to deal alone with terror groups’ assault on civilians, the international community ensures the conflict will continue and become more destructive

Sivan Rahav Meir
3 foreign workers: Remember them too
Agricultural workers, caregivers, and more: they are part of the human landscape of Israel, and we must protect them… and mourn them
Gary Mason
Northern Ireland’s lesson for Israel
My work to help end sectarian violence in my country taught me inter-communal conflict can not be resolved from within the comfort zone of absolutist positions
Ronnie Perelis
Tuning in from afar: I reach across the sea with my radio app
I listen to Israel Army radio’s finest, interrupted by sirens warning of incoming missiles, and remember that this news isn’t a far-away abstract story
Reuven Spolter
Will you please stop lecturing us on ‘complexity’ and ‘nuance’?
Those words have come to justify terrorism. I prefer words like ’solidarity’ and ’concern’. Have you been on the road during a rocket attack? I have

It is dark in Israel tonight
By
Rachel Sharansky Danziger
What’s been burning in our streets these past few nights is more than property. What’s crumbling, what’s burning, is our ability to trust.
Manya Brachear Pashman
Do I tell my American child about violence in Israel?
Kids don’t appreciate it when grown-ups try to shield them from the facts. They like to make informed decisions.
‘Are you religious?’ For American Jews, that’s the wrong question.

Edieal Pinker
Forget ‘outreach’: Pew 2020 tells us to put our money where the people are
Investing in aging Reform and Conservative populations is wrong. Instead, fund the Orthodox, and have them engage the non-Orthodox
Zack Rothbart
Drawing Moses: From the sublime to the ridiculous
That moment of divine revelation when God gave the Torah at Mount Sinai? Artists have been trying to show what happened for centuries (Shavuot)
Daniel Dorsch

Ilana Goldstein Saks
