So it begins: A diary of the very near future
By
David Kretzmer
This is how the government’s sweeping change to Israel’s constitutional and political regime plays out
Yedidia Stern
Dialogue should prevent Israel’s slide into civil war
If legal experts with differing opinions could just hash everything out, we might see real, consensus-based reform
Suzie Navot
A bid for unlimited power. That’s all it is.
As the Attorney General clearly shows, this ’reform’ doesn’t make Israel more democratic. Far from it.
Michal Cotler-Wunsh
Another open letter to Israel’s friends in North America
Daniel Gordis, Yossi Klein Halevi, and Matti Friedman wrote strongly against judicial reform, but they didn’t consider all the reasons to favor it
Daniel Orenstein
For a sustainable future, protest the ‘reforms’
The changes will shrink accountability and eliminate safeguards that protect the environment and public health
Moshe Koppel
This reform will end limitless power for unelected elites
Opponents equate their loss of political power with ‘the end of democracy,’ but with some modifications, consensus is within reach
Naomi Chazan
Critical questions for traumatic times
The government’s assault on Israel’s checks, balances and civil rights is fueling a civil war. Is there no turning back?
Gerald M. Steinberg
We need a way out of the judicial clash, not more angry rhetoric
The open letter by Gordis, Friedman and Klein Halevi is misleading and dangerously over the top
I’ll take my schadenfreude where I can get it
By
Deb Reich
With the world going to hell in a very worrying handbasket, I can still find pleasure in the misfortune of a select few
Hannah Geller
‘My grandmother is still under the rubble’
The tragedy across the ocean hit me hard, though I have no personal reason to be upset. It’s my friend Mohammed who does
Jennie Rosenn
Jewish institutions’ best tool for fighting climate change: their bank accounts
By vocally divesting from fossil fuels, US Jews can support clean energy and align finances with values
Mark Shinar
What’s a nice Orthodox gay single dad doing in a place like this?
My values contradict each other, but I’m not a hypocrite or a liar. We all function in a complex, conflicting world
Eliezer Finkelman
A parable about divorce and remarrying
Meanwhile, in a parallel universe, a woman can hold her ex-husband hostage and refuse to allow him to remarry
Joshua Hammerman
Why the ‘He Gets Us.’ Jesus ads get Jews nervous
The billion-dollar Super Bowl ad blitz aims to unify all Americans under the banner of the cross – including me
Yaffa Epstein
Can a Jewish fan watch the Super Bowl with a clean conscience?
Use the Talmud’s defense of those who saw gladiators battle to death, but don’t ignore the pain and violence of football
Jason Fredric Gilbert
Spirited away
Our shrieking, howling, laughing uninvited guest is a destructive menace, but at least he hasn’t damaged our roof – yet
Redemption and rupture: Hidden children of the Holocaust
By
Jennifer Rosner
Reclaiming the youngsters was an act of kindness to their murdered parents and to the Jewish people, but what about the children themselves?
Top Ops
Ahmad Hashemi
Warming Israel-Azerbaijan ties and the Iranian ire they stoke
This secular Muslim country is Israel and the West’s valuable ally in pushing back against Iran, Russia, and Islamist terrorism
Francis Nataf
Here’s what Israel’s friends can really do to help
Don’t add fuel to our fire by taking sides – seek out the voices promoting unity
Haim Taib
In Africa, we must see the wood for the trees
Tu BiShvat not only celebrates nature, but it pushes us to create a more sustainable future, beginning with reforestation
Cinthya Silverstein
‘You People’ wasn’t funny to my Black and Mexican Jewish family
The Netflix rom-com is just one more movie that simplifies the worlds it depicts based on racial binaries
