We may be able to tolerate an irrational mob that goes after anything associated with Israel, but academics whose lives revolve around the search for truth and knowledge?
“Shavua” is an interactive journal woven with Jewish wisdom, inviting readers to pause, reflect and add their own thoughts to an ongoing Jewish conversation.
For decades, the world’s biggest musical acts brought their concert tours through Israel: Michael Jackson, Madonna, U2, Paul McCartney, Pearl Jam, Alanis Morissette, Rihanna and Rage Against the Machine.
The Haredi Public Party was created because the Haredi public deserves more than excuses, Israeli society deserves more than permanent confrontation, and the Jewish people deserve an Israel capable of reconciling Torah, responsibility and national unity.
These countries plotted – or at least one of them plotted – to advance peace agreements with Israel simply to lull it to sleep ahead of a war at a more convenient time. Or so the “sources” say.
Because antizionists like El-Sayed interweave their antizionism with anti-Americanism and antisemitism, every self-respecting American Jew should work even harder to oppose him.
It is crucial that El-Sayed be defeated so the Democratic Party will understand that being taken over by such extremists is the road to electoral oblivion.
The scholar’s earlier affinity for the Jewish state is worth revisiting and appreciating, reminding us in this moment of uncertainty that more positive possibilities could very well emerge between two nations, a friendship as existed decades ago, renewed.
Parenthood has a way of exposing the limits of instruction. Children do not necessarily inherit what we tell them to value. They inherit what they see us value.
Political appointments systematically damage the very core of the public service. They sever the connection between office and competence, replacing professional qualifications with party loyalty.
