Which Israeli stories are we allowed to tell?
By
Leslie Benitah
Films like NAZA should show Palestinian suffering, but when Jewish suffering is left out of the picture, the story the world sees is distorted
Magnus Torén
NAZA, moral certainty, and the question haunting me since October 8
The film’s explosive claims about civilian deaths in Gaza demand evidence, not mythology — and Jews everywhere should not be made defendants
Jaclyn S. Clark
Macklemore got dumped. Pink got canceled. Everyone else lost their minds
A billionaire stadium owner – not headliner Ed Sheeran – had the courage to fire the bigoted rapper. What came next was even worse
Mahsa and Shirel share a wall in Jerusalem
By
Nassrin Pourbahrami
I grew up being taught that Israel was the enemy. Now I see Iranians and Israelis rediscovering ties the Islamic Republic tried to erase
Rivka Ravitz
I never let my children fundraise, until now
When the Israeli government cut its subsidies for Haredi Torah study, the rabbis enlisted the community to make up the shortfall. Even the girls. Even my daughter
Jamie Feder
Why this liberal New Yorker made aliyah
When I moved to Israel, some friends disappeared. Hundreds unfollowed me. But all that rejection made me more comfortable with who I am and what I believe

Private presale event at the Waldorf Astoria: Online and in person
Join us in Jerusalem, Sept. 28–Oct. 1, to explore Midtown’s exclusive presale opportunities. Can’t attend in person? Schedule to meet us online.
Gayle Meyers
Rushing forward, seized with fear
Crises like the terror attacks of 9/11 summon us with the trumpet of bravery and the still, small voice of love, as we write our stories with our deeds (Rosh Hashanah)
David Charles Pollack
What my great-great-uncle told the Supreme Court about the Bible
Solomon Grayzel warned in 1963 that even a seemingly universal sacred text can divide a classroom. The push to post the Ten Commandments in schools renews his warning
From the blogs
Boy George goes to shul
By
Dan Moskovitz
The pop icon’s new song felt like a hug from a stranger. When he came to our synagogue, we finally got to hug him back
Menachem Creditor
The hard work of apologizing and forgiving
For the one who has caused harm, a casual ’sorry’ is not repentance. Neither is a vague apology for ’anything I may have done’
Lee Shira Wilson
Making the women of our story part of us: Ushpizot
For years, I thought about how the classic symbolic biblical male guests we invite into our sukkahs should include women. This year, I’m making it happen
From the blogs
Lindsey Graham’s white whale
By
Michael Ratney
The late US senator thought Saudi-Israel normalization was within reach. He misread Netanyahu on Palestinian statehood
Renee Garfinkel
The country beneath the noise: Building our home
Beyond the headlines and election horse race, most Israelis want the same basic things: a country that works, a decent life and a future for their children
Nurit Gil
The report card no one sees
In Israel, I learned to measure my children’s education not only by their grades, but also by how they navigate the country, cook a meal – and deal with war
What to know if you’re on GLP‑1 drugs and plan to fast for Yom Kippur
By
Reed Berger-Fleishman
Time your medication, prepare for the fast, and recognize when going without food and water may no longer be safe
Top Ops
Talyah Ginsberg
‘One day’ is not a day of the week
Recently attuned to the risk that everything I postpone won’t eventually get its turn, I find myself willing to take the first steps to finding out how far I might go
Yossi Feintuch
How could a ram replace Isaac in the Akedah?
In a different reading of the biblical story, one crucial quality made it possible for an animal to be substituted for a person
Orly Lavi Travish
Between memory and history
My Hebrew students weren’t alive on September 11, 2001. If memory is to survive as more than a date in a textbook, I have to teach them the vocabulary to pass it on
Ethan Schwartz
Generation Right: Young voters are shaping Israel’s unapologetic future
Israelis casting their first ballots value security and self-reliance – busting Western assumptions that all youth are progressive
