For the New Year, a New Look at Hate
If ever there was a silver lining for the alarming rise in Jew-hatred, let it be the karmic prospect that the act of hating undermines the happiness of the haters.

Bibi-ism has been the nation’s dominant philosophy for a generation. That may be about to change.

Have you noticed that we’re hearing “Shana Tova” a lot more than “Shabbat Shalom”?

The thing with labels is that they stick. That is a good thing for a group like the Nazis, but to nonchalantly slap the “genocide” label on Israel and its supporters is criminal.

Ironically and tellingly, the biggest obstacle that both Vance and El-Sayed face is their refusal to separate themselves from even more noxious denigrators of the Jewish state and the Jewish people.

This thought came to me while I was visiting with my friend Dennis Prager and we discussed him writing our Rosh Hashanah cover story.

The art of humility may be the toughest. Who wants to look weak and admit mistakes? We much prefer to win, but it’s not always clear how humility can get us there.

Given the realities of our current time, we are more in need than ever of the depth, wisdom, and joy that Jewish tradition offers.

Our shared stories of hatred, humiliation, oppression and slavery obligate us to show up for one another.

While it’s indisputable that younger and progressive voters are driving the party away from its historic support for Israel, the old-guard Zionist Democrats have made it clear that they will not surrender without a fight.
