The coming storm
By
Yair Zivan
The country’s global standing has never been worse. Without a change in government, Israelis will soon feel it in their wallets, travel and security
Lisi Levisohn
What the sukkah lets in
The sukkah’s flimsy walls remind us to open our hearts to the pain, the joy and the needs of other people – even when they’re not ’one of our own’
Yevgen Korniychuk
Babyn Yar: When history becomes a battlefield
Ukraine’s ambassador to Israel: ‘The Jewish people know better than many others how dangerous it becomes when a lie is repeated so often that it begins to be accepted as truth.’
How a poem let Soviet Jews remember in public
By
Haim Ben Yakov
Sixty-five years ago, Yevgeny Yevtushenko’s ‘Babi Yar’ put into print a history Jewish families had been forced to carry in private
From Our Sponsor
Live in Jerusalem, be surrounded by nature
Be part of a warm Jerusalem community where tradition, connection, and modern living come together.
Nadav Tamir
Hope cannot be built on the exclusion of Arab parties
If the change bloc wants to present a credible alternative government, it must stop treating Arab parties as untouchable coalition partners
Daphne Lazar Price
I want to read the essays
When you were accused of drugging and gang-raping a woman and given the opportunity to mitigate against the alleged crime, what did you say?
David Harbater
After death, creation: Simchat Torah in the shadow of October 7
We finish the Torah with mourning and immediately go back to the beginning, refusing to let destruction have the final word
Life is a fragile booth: The ‘falling sukkah’ redemption
By
Adam S. Ferziger
Even when the walls shake, in times of personal and national crisis, internal division, and real exposure, we seek comfort in the sukkah’s ’shade of faith’
Sarah Tuttle-Singer
Here’s who I’m inviting to my sukkah
After so much debate over who is and isn’t Jewish enough to speak to, I want to see 10 dramatically different Jews at one table, hashing it out
Avi Weiss
‘If I am not for myself, who will be for me’ still comes first
As Jewish students challenged Mamdani’s antizionism at a prayer vigil, I saw the sage Hillel’s teaching come to life: We cannot forget ourselves when we care for others
What should we teach our children when Israel is challenged?
By
Esther Sperber
Instead of responding to Mamdani with a vigil, Jewish schools could help students grapple with the moral questions facing Israel and Zionism
Benny Gantz
Israel needs to take the erosion of US support seriously
I believe in a broad Zionist government that doesn’t rely on extremists – for the sake of Israel’s alliances and Jews everywhere
Michelle Philippon
What this former evangelical found in a Reform synagogue
After growing up in megachurches, I took a job at a Reform synagogue and discovered a very different way of thinking about God, sin, belonging — and myself
Adam Segal
When the dog whistle becomes a shout
Holding scissors inches from my head, a London barber felt perfectly at ease telling me exactly what he thought of Jews
They tried to destroy Temple Israel. Six months later, it stands tall
By
Alon Tal
Back in their restored sanctuary for Yom Kippur, Michigan Jews had a message for those who would have them lower their voices: ‘We are Zionists. Full stop.’
Judy Klitsner
Our new delicate Simchat Torah dance: A time to weep, a time to rejoice
When our feet move in rhythm, but in heavy steps, and our voices rise in song, but crack with the weight of memory, the community will help warm the chill of absence
Yonatan Cohen
A blessing of love: Recalled
I raised my hands in the Priestly Blessing countless times, but I felt like a fraud. I didn’t feel blessed myself, until a friend restored the love underneath it all
I thought a sukkah was fragile; the border kibbutzim proved me wrong
By
Sharon Weiss-Greenberg
Rain cancels the mitzvah, but grief does not: You must come out and sit under the thatched roof – not to rejoice, but to show up. That is resilience
Top Ops
Ben Lazarus
Two little-known bookend prayers I really need now
While I’m staving off the anger, apathy, and impulsiveness of my incurable disease, I turn to God twice each day and ask for help that I believe would help anyone
Talyah Ginsberg
The year is new. Israel is already double-booked.
The High Holidays promise renewal, but family, romance, travel plans and life in Israel have apparently declined to clear their calendars
