A letter from a formerly suicidal IDF reservist
By
Rachel Lester
I didn’t think I could get PTSD at my desk job after October 7. My mother knew better – and what she did saved my life
Tehilla Shwartz Altshuler
ChatGPT was on my medical team
I made my own decision, of course, but the machine’s influence far exceeds its data, depending on how we relate to it: tool, team-member, or authority
Amy Handlin
What an ‘eruv’ taught me about fighting antisemitism
Getting to know your local leadership now means you can turn to them later (I know; I was the politician tapped to help a NJ Jewish community)
Religious Zionism’s dangerous euphoria
By
Elchanan Poupko
As Israelis leave, allies lose patience and the Jewish world faces mounting threats, too many members of the community insist they are living in a time of miracles

The Jaffa Institute
Miami gala 2026: Celebrating 45 years of impact in Israel
Join us November 15 for an extraordinary evening featuring Iran expert Beni Sabti, celebrating 45 years of transforming children’s lives through education & opportunity in Israel.
She will dance again
By
Risa Levitt
On Sunday I made the call and told Eva that her sculpture was broken. She understood before I’d finished my first sentence. I braced for the worst
Aron Schoenfeld
It takes 10 minutes to return a gun
After five months of reserve duty, turning in my rifle was easy. Finding my place again in a life that had learned to carry on without me is another matter
Arnie Draiman
When did $650,000 become a reasonable Jewish nonprofit salary?
We need talented people leading our charities. But does paying a CEO twice as much deliver twice the impact, or simply leave less money for the mission?
The Negev’s future cannot be secured by police cruisers alone
By
Yardena Bagantz
The Shin Bet warns of terrorist cells forming in the south — but tackling the threat means addressing the root causes that draw young Bedouins toward crime and extremism
We must be the Israel of October 8
By
Shuki Friedman
The solidarity that emerged after October 7 was no illusion. It showed us another Israel is possible — and that we need not accept division as our fate
Prakash Bishunke
Nepal may have forgotten October 7. I cannot
We young Nepalis came to Israel to learn how to farm. Three years later, our own country doesn’t care about the losses we suffered there
Sarah Ansbacher
East of Eden and north of Jaffa: John Steinbeck’s hope
The author’s 19th century ancestors moved to the holy land to help teach the Jewish community to farm. I found traces of them in Tel Aviv – and on Netflix
Hanukkah Barbie is here — and she actually got it right
By
Yael Buechler
After years of Jewish holiday merchandising that’s off target or just plain wrong, there’s something powerful about finally feeling seen
Top Ops
Sarah Tuttle-Singer
Jerusalem’s Old City: Never the same place twice
There are real tensions here. Real grievances, fears, and injustices. Moments of kindness don’t erase them, but the sunshine and rainbows and kumbaya are real too
Dena Klein
Oct. 7 made it impossible to ignore what’s missing from Israel education
We need to help Diaspora Jews build a relationship with the country that can hold the weight of reality – even in difficult times
Barak Seener
Netanyahu has changed the Middle East. Will Israel ensure it lasts?
After Oct. 7, the Jewish state dramatically weakened its enemies, but Israel’s leaders must have the resolve to protect those hard-won gains
Ariella Weiss
