From the blogs
Now it’s urgent: Israel must rebuild support among Democrats
By
Ted Sasson
The Iran deal exposes the risks of Netanyahu’s decision to tie Israel’s fortunes ever more closely to one party and one leader
Eliezer Finkelman
The view from under the bus
A likely US-Iran agreement leaves Israel, Iranian minorities, and human rights supporters wondering what became of American promises
Ammiel Hirsch
A reckoning for the Reform movement
The balance of universalism with the particularism of religious thought and Zionism is Judaism’s distinctive genius. Stripping away those Jewish parts spells disaster
I’m alive. My son’s alive. My neighbor isn’t. And none of us is OK
By
Sarah Tuttle-Singer
I went back inside my Old City home to grab my keys and the terrible, hollow sound of a gas explosion ripped through our courtyard
From Our Sponsor
ERAN Emotional Health Hotline for Olim
Free and anonymous emotional support in your own language.
Aliyah is complicated, especially now. Olim and returning citizens can now access free and anonymous emotional support in their own language. Open 14:00-21:00, Sunday – Thursday.
Moshe Turpaz
The Bennett-Lapid alliance offers a different kind of politics
Religious and secular Zionists serve and sacrifice together every day. Exhausted by division, many Israelis now want a government that does the same
Eli Groner
In Israel, every party is a village
As elections loom, just changing leaders won’t change how Israel is governed. The deeper problem is a culture that prizes loyalty over the competition of ideas
An apology from your American Jewish parents
By
David Magerman
We raised you in exile to succeed in the culture of our oppressors. Now we need you to do the one thing we never taught you: defy us
Shai Davidai
Someone taught him to hate
The cure for a man screaming curses at me in front of my children is a widespread culture of curiosity and inquiry. US educational institutions have work to do
Sima Navon
‘The Wife Of’
When my husband was appointed ambassador to Japan, I wasn’t about to become a silent, smiling diplomatic spouse
From the blogs
Was Grandpa Boris Holocaust-y enough?
By
Hagit Zadok Fefferman
He thought nobody would want to hear his survival story, which featured black-market smuggling and daring escapes. I’m afraid he was right
Judy Halper
Dear Haredim
We need Trumpian negotiations – say, open streets for cash flow and we’ll address army service later. But only if you accept that you too are Israeli citizens
Seth Goldschlager
The MV Arctic Sea: A mystery that still matters to Israel
Nearly 17 years after the cargo ship’s disappearance baffled governments, intelligence services and maritime experts, a Cyprus court may soon reopen the story
Settler violence is reshaping religious Zionism
By
Elchanan Poupko
As Kahanist ideas gain ground, religious Zionism’s failure to confront settler violence is endangering both Israel’s future and the movement’s soul
Micha Odenheimer
The false choice: Why Tikkun Olam without Israel betrays both
The belief that universal justice and Jewish peoplehood are competing commitments is a false binary that has weakened American Jewish life
Rawan Osman
Lebanon at the crossroads: Honest words are not enough
Peace with Israel hinges on Aoun acknowledging what brought Lebanon to its knees – not Israeli aggression, but the deliberate action of an Iranian-backed militia
The look I still remember
By
Grunya Tzivin
The Rebbe never stood in front of a classroom full of traumatized Israeli kids, but his gaze showed me how to teach them
Top Ops
Sara Ghavimi
Iran is using Lebanon to win a war that isn’t Lebanon’s
Disarming Hezbollah and reasserting Lebanese sovereignty aren’t obstacles to peace, but prerequisites for it. The Islamic Republic won’t allow either
Roy Levy
The cities powering Israel’s future deserve more in return
Data centers, energy projects and AI infrastructure create huge value – and huge disruption. The benefits should flow to residents, too
