Ariel Beery
First we mourn
After thousands of years of practice, we could not prevent the same passions that felled the Second Temple from undermining our Third
A tale of two Israels
By
Michael Oren
Despite the deep divides in Israeli society, I believed we were still one people. Then I saw the exultant selfie from the Knesset floor
I don’t want Jewish unity
By
Ilan Bloch
Israel doesn’t need me to shake hands with those whose views I abhor (though I do it). Israel needs moral governance that leads by example
Shuki Friedman
Civil war is not a luxury we can afford
Given the many threats Israel faces, social fracturing could bring catastrophic loss of life and infrastructural collapse
Shoshana Lavan
Wake up, Israel! Civil war is on its way!
What do you do when the politician who demonizes you is your neighbor? Some of us made a video. Someone else pulled a gun
Koby Benmeleh
Is Israel tech’s doom-and-gloom crowd wrong?
No, a mass talent exodus is not in the cards. As for the end of democracy as we know it? Also, no
Is God our enemy? A midrash for the Three Weeks
By
Raymond Apple
How should God react to the suffering of His people? Should He rage? Comfort? Primo Levi says He should spit. Surely He should help
Lawrence Witt
A new song at the gates of Auschwitz
A Torah scroll from Wengrow, Poland survived our darkest history, unlike most of the town’s residents. Its repair and rededication honors their memory
Analysis
Shoshanna Keats Jaskoll
How she sits alone: For these I weep
I shed tears of pain for all that should never have befallen our daughters, Jewish marriage, Jewish leadership, or the Torah itself
Joshua Berman
Crushed by denial: Zion in the Book of Lamentations
When everything you believe comes crumbling down, and you still can’t get past your beliefs, that is when you are susceptible to destruction
Judy Halper
Gender matters
While the government demands male-only language in official documents, a new non-gendered Hebrew may be the solution
Bill Slott
The House of David
A monumental ’bragging rock’ from the king of Aram is not a surprise. But what was written on it was a game-changer.
Donating stem cells: A master class in peoplehood
By
Andrew Keene
A microscopic piece of blood-matter is the ultimate reminder that we are connected at a cellular level. The rest is just noise
Top Ops
Noah E Abramowitz
Waiting for the donkey
Instead of claiming the messiah is coming, I vote we ready a saddle and do the most we can as individuals to keep building
Efraim Podoksik
They’ve forgotten why they want judicial reform
The government is using the right’s valid criticisms of the Court as a smokescreen for reforms that hurt their own voters
