Shuki Friedman
Zealotry – not baseless hatred – will lead to Israel’s collapse
Today, as in ancient times, ideologues will risk civil war to thwart compromises. Fortunately, most of the nation thinks they’re wrong
‘Bad Jew’
By
Dory Benami
Forget bacon and skipped synagogue. These days, a ’bad Jew’ is the one who refuses to apologize for being Jewish
Ruby Chen
Netanyahu, to honor Lindsey Graham, finish his mission!
The senator who stood by my family during our son’s captivity never stopped pursuing Israeli-Saudi peace. Set aside your election campaign and work to achieve it
Jose Lev Alvarez Gomez
JD Vance declares war on Israel
Joe Rogan’s vast platform became the stage for a message that recasts Israel as a strategic burden and legitimizes suspicion of its supporters
Since when does Lionel Messi stand for Zionism?
By
Cecilia Lazzaro Blasbalg
World Cup anti-Argentine conspiracies spread like wildfire, painting the country as racist and blaming Israel and the Jews for Argentina’s wins
Judy Halper
Israel’s catastrophes are 100% human-made
The Israeli electoral process is turning toxic, but I believe it will recover if we stand together against the noxious rule of religion and corruption
Elli Benaiah
Flying home to vote
I’ll make a quick trip from Europe not because I want to earn the right to criticize the next government, but because I want there to be less to criticize
What Israel in 2026 can learn from the Prophet Jeremiah
By
Shlomit Ravitsky Tur-Paz
Anger, responsibility, and hope: Lamentations’ 3 lessons for discourse in a contentious election year
David Begoun
Tisha B’Av and the neighbor behind the hedge
Would my family’s Shabbat prayers disturb our secular neighbor? Would he complain about our new porch? Would our different ’labels’ destroy the peace of my home?
Joshua Berman
Getting angry at God as an act of faith
The Book of Lamentations offers a surprising message for Tisha B’Av: When belief is on the verge of collapse, protest may be its strongest lifeline
Ari Melnik
No one comes to Israel for Jerusalem anymore
The visitors I guide ask me to take them to October 7’s killing fields, and I do. But they shouldn’t go home without seeing why Israel is so much more than its worst day
From the blogs
Finding Uncle Isidor
By
Jesse Hefter
Being able to place a Star of David on the grave of a fallen relative and reconnect him with the Jewish people was a divine gift – delivered by human kindness
Nina L. Kampler
I thought I knew my father’s story; then some untranslated letters came to light
He was the only Jew to survive the entire war at the Sachsenhausen concentration camp, but he shouldn’t have been there at all
Pnina Omer
When your dream is a source of harm, give it up
Tisha B’Av teaches that not every act of destruction is an unmitigated tragedy; ending a marriage can be the needed first step toward a new life
The film about my father is premiering today. I won’t be there
By
Neshama Carlebach
The documentary tells the full story of Shlomo Carlebach while challenging Jewish communities to hear survivors and hold leaders accountable
Top Ops
Hussain Abdul-Hussain
Syria’s leader charms the world, crushes the Druze. Israel should be wary
Sharaa seems to be a pragmatic diplomat, but before pursuing warmer ties, Jerusalem needs guarantees that he will stop repressing his minority citizens
Sagit Alkobi Fishman
Mamdani’s threat to arrest Netanyahu isn’t the real danger
A political leader who claims history has already rendered its verdict turns disagreement into heresy – and New York’s Jews are feeling the consequences
Yankie Denburg
Was it wise to welcome Clavicular to Israel?
Regardless of controversial influencers, we as a society must learn how to disagree civilly, before we burn the storehouses again
Meg Keene
I gathered the data on Jewish fiction publishing. The trends are alarming.
The future of Jewish storytelling may depend less on winning acceptance from traditional gatekeepers than on creating new ones
