Poem: Birthday of the World – A psalm for Rosh Hashanah

There is a difference between criticism that comes from responsibility and love, and an almost psychological need to prove to the world: I am not one of them.

While so much of the world seems obsessed with and consumed by its hatred of Israel and Jews, Israelis continue to build, create, work, celebrate, argue, raise families, and plan for the future.

The failure of the social media era was not simply that we failed to predict what would happen. It was that we continued giving technology companies the benefit of the doubt long after there were compelling reasons not to.

Those who would revel in Israel’s demise are claiming victimhood on every front and denying attacks on us in the same breath.

Every time Americans fill their cars, buy groceries or book an airline ticket, they are paying an invisible terrorism tax.
