Analysis
David Wolpe
King David is trending in Christian pop culture. Here’s why Jews should join in

Tomer Adela
Not just missing, but abandoned by the system
What Haymanut Kasau’s case reveals about power, visibility, and urgency in Israel
Southern discomfort: Confronting America’s racist history
By
Gary Rosenblatt
With the White House trying to whitewash the past, museums of civil rights activism keep us honest, protecting the US legacy of racial violence against blacks
Top Ops
Mijal Bitton
Pharaoh, Iran and the battle for human dignity
Jews cannot be indifferent to those who are fighting for their freedom; we learned very early on that resisting tyrants is a way of obeying God (Vaera)
Shaike Komornik
