Ammiel Hirsch
For the love of Israel, we need to say: The Reform Movement is Zionist
How could future Jewish leaders write an open, public letter in the middle of a war, missiles raining down on our people, without ever mentioning Hamas?
From the blogs
One day in the house with Steve
By
James Inverne
Encounters with Stephen Sondheim led me to a deeper understanding of a titan of the theater, the most humane of men, who dealt in contradictions rather than absolutes
Nathan Lopes Cardozo
To Rabbi Serfaty on your Spinoza response: Chutzpah!
The Amsterdam Sephardi community leader is clearly ignorant of the Dutch philosopher’s work and unaware his excommunication ended with his death
Devorah Lynn
Hanukkah: A time to celebrate renewable energy
That one flask of oil reduced the Temple menorah’s fuel use by 87%. If we can match that for today’s fuel consumption, we just might save the world
Without Hanukkah, there’s no Christmas to celebrate
By
Anastasia Kennedy
When Palestinians and their supporters claim Jesus as their own and deny his Jewishness, they help recreate the conditions for atrocities against Jews
Ronnie Katz Gerber
A Hanukkah miracle might happen here
Before you know it, my doctor is crying. Weeping. I tell him to stop, that I’m going to be fine until I’m not and that that could take a few good years yet
Ari M. Solomont
When my rabbi took me to the mikvah
Listen up educators: Back when sexual abuse was more hidden and we all had the luxury of naivete, my rabbi did everything exactly right by setting clear boundaries
Jack Gottlieb
What Horn gets wrong in her ‘Dead Jews’ critique of Jewish heritage tourism
The author unfairly slams the motives of those engaged in Jewish historical preservation but offers no viable alternatives to the memorialization of Jews
The UAE at 50: Progress, prosperity and, yes, peace
By
Abakar Manany
The Gulf state, now marking 50 years since its founding, rejected religious fanaticism and has stretched its hand out to Israel in genuine friendship
Philip Earl Steele
Poland’s urban legend about Menachem Begin
Where did Poles get the idea that Israel’s Nobel-winning prime minister was once called Mieczysław Biegun – and why does the belief persist?
At home in the Jewish body
By
Loolwa Khazzoom
I eventually realized that not only am I beautiful but that my ’JewNose’ is a distinct part of my beauty – and I’m keeping the ’JewFro’ and brown eyes too
Top Ops
Michael Humphries
Hate Israel’s high cost of living? Don’t blame supermarket chains.
Like Hawaii and post-Brexit Britain, Israel is expensive because it’s an island economy, located far from its trading partners. That’s not going to change any time soon.
Sam Lehman-Wilzig
The future of non-work is the robot and AI economy
A bleak outlook for an Israel where workers are less willing to take on unsatisfying jobs and employers invest more in replacing them
David E. Weisberg
Menorahs and abortions
The overturning of Roe v. Wade would not be a ruling on freedom of religion; it would simply return to the states full authority to regulate abortions
Naomi Chazan
The ‘Ugly Israeli’ abroad and at home
Widespread verbal and physical violence is driven by deep-seated power inequities, chief among them, the ongoing occupation of lands captured in 1967
