Future of Jewish

Reform Judaism has a choice to make.

We have confused one of Judaism’s greatest gifts with Judaism itself.

A previous war against Jews also called itself ‘anti-Zionism.’

They rebuilt their lives after the Holocaust. Then came the “anti-Zionist” campaign that sounds all too familiar to the one we are witnessing today.

God knows we’re imperfect. Our Judaism can be too.

A Jewish life doesn’t have to be all or nothing. Sometimes, a little is the beginning of a lot.

The real Hitler test is happening right now.

The lesson of the Holocaust was never simply to despise Nazis. It was to recognize the machinery of hatred before the destination becomes obvious.

The Jewish answer to October 7th is not fear. It is more Judaism.

October 7th reminded us what can be taken from us. The High Holidays ask what we are willing to rebuild.

He saved my soul. Then antisemitism took his life.

Rabbi Eli Schlanger entered my life when I was barely alive. His murder has forced me to confront faith, evil, and what it means to carry his light forward.

Israel is guilty before the evidence is even heard.

When it comes to the Jewish state, the accusation is the evidence.

The Jewish New Year begins with an uncomfortable truth.

The uncomfortable truth is that normal may not return. The more important truth is that Jews do not need normal in order to endure.

The Jewish Dynasty Nobody Talks About

Of all the fields in which Jews have achieved wildly beyond our numbers, chess may be the most striking.

In Israel, you don’t celebrate Rosh Hashanah. You live it.

This is what happens when the Jewish calendar becomes the rhythm of an entire country.

For anyone who has ever wondered why the Jews are celebrating New Year’s in September.

The Jewish New Year’s Most Powerful Lesson

Judaism does not ask us to erase what broke. It asks us to make something from it.

We remember 9/11. We forgot what it was supposed to teach us.

Twenty-five years later, many in the West have forgotten the warning about ideology, extremism, and the dangers of explaining away those who tell us exactly what they bel

The Palestinians couldn’t erase Jewish history, so they copied it.

First they tried to destroy the Jewish state. Then they hijacked our story.

The Israeli settlement debate is built on a massive double standard.

If Palestinians have a right to live among Jews, why is Jewish life among Palestinians treated as an obstacle to peace?

The city that Jews helped build is turning against us.

New York City was once the Jewish capital of America. What happened?

Israel is quietly changing the map around Iran.

Our answer to the Iranian regime’s “ring of fire” contains four circles.

Forget therapy. Judaism is the best self-help.

Modern psychology gives us labels. Judaism gives us a path out of them.

These two words explain the entire Israeli-Palestinian conflict.

These words sound like competing descriptions of the same conflict, but they are not. They describe two fundamentally different political instincts.

Israel is preparing to build fighter jets again.

The Jewish state must never again be forced to beg others for the means to defend itself.
