I thought I was the only Jew in the entire UAE
By
toi_editor
When I moved to the Emirates, I passed myself off as Catholic. Looking back, I was crazy to ever feel the slightest fear about being my Jewish self here
Joel C. Rosenberg
The secret, visionary decision that launched the Abraham Accords
UAE Crown Prince Mohammed bin Zayed confided in me his plan to set the ambitious agreement in motion, and he ensured its success by making Israel an offer it couldn’t refuse
Alan Abrams
The world’s future is in the hands of an Israeli Islamist — if we’re lucky
With creativity and pragmatism, MK Mansour Abbas is showing the nations how to bridge the realms of representative democracy and religion
America’s pivot to Asia raises major hurdles for Israel
By
Ilai Z. Saltzman
Jerusalem will increasingly be pushed to pick sides — and to contend with growing readiness by the US to rejoin the Iran nuclear deal
Ari Morgenstern
The US is aiding Lebanon’s self-destruction
Even as the Lebanese Armed Forces prop up Hezbollah, the State Dept calls the LAF ’pillars of stability.’ Congress needs to stop the flow of US aid
Julio Messer
Why bother with the Taylor Force Act?
The US and Israel passed laws to block the PA’s ’pay for slay’ policy, so what made the Jewish state replenish the terrorists’ slush fund?
Under my lemon tree
By
Shoshanna Keats Jaskoll
In the holiday rush, bemoaning the days with no school and the many meals to cook, I pause and breathe deep, for nothing inspires me like the air of the Land of Israel in Tishrei
A High Holiday embrace
By
Shira Pasternak Be'eri
My husband lay in the cardiac ICU, and of course my prayers were all for him, until I noticed a distraught young woman at our hospital service
A change of heart
By
Shira Lankin Sheps
It took an unwanted cardiac exam to make me realize that I needed to be kind to myself, to forgive myself, and to reach out to God with this new repentance
Tali Kaplinski Tarlow
If Jerusalem’s stones could speak…
The coronavirus has brought my tour-guiding industry to its knees, but the rebuilt Old City gave me a shred of optimism – for this too will pass
The Texas abortion law is an assault on Orthodox Judaism
By
Elchanan Poupko
This ban is not really a pro-life stance; rather, it is forcing fundamentalist Christian beliefs on the many who do not share those beliefs
Joe Wolfson
The day Michael K. Williams of the Wire made my NYU students think
What if justice were found not in punishment, but in atonement? What if high schools broke the cycle of violence? What if teshuvah were seen as an ongoing struggle?
Andrew Silow-Carroll
Don’t blame Ellis Island officials for Jewish immigrants’ changing last names
Name-changing wasn’t a humiliation but a strategy, and one that, in the American context, has paid off handsomely — including for my own family
Jessica Russak-Hoffman
I sat vigil for the 9/11 victims
My job was to offer comfort to the souls that lingered in the makeshift outdoor morgue. Every week, for 9 months. I still feel their presence — and absence
Joshua Berman
No apologies, just a kiss
No person in the Bible ever asks another for forgiveness and no one ever grants another person forgiveness. But why?
Top Ops
Yuval Cherlow
Asking for long life is just the beginning
Modern medicine can prolong life despite physical and mental infirmities, but when does that stop being what we want for ourselves and our families?
Paul Mirbach
The sukkah and living with uncertainty
For 5 years, I wandered from one dorm to the next, rootless like our forebears before we each came to our homeland, where we belonged, and could lay down roots
Tzachi Fried
Shemitah: The redemption of ‘being’
I have been so busy pulling weeds and propping up new growth that it’s taken a real shift in my mindset to accept the coming year of leaving the garden to nature
Chen Malul
The half-angel, half-demon connected to Yom Kippur
Jewish mystical tradition teaches that Azazel was a dangerous and destructive angel, who taught human beings some of history’s most horrible lessons
