Herzl to Heritage Minister Eliyahu: Have you actually read my books?
A missive from the father of modern Zionism to the politician who quoted him: I like to keep religion and state separate
Zev Chafets
Separation now
Liberals can’t seduce Haredim with modernity. Haredim can’t seduce liberals with the Talmud. It’s time to stop pretending

The 4 mothers and their view from Israel
As the worried mother of an IDF combat soldier, I now see the haggadah’s sons in the fight over Israel’s future

There’s no ‘compromise’ in the coalition’s play for unlimited power
Slowing the overhaul is a sham. It’s still a hostile takeover of the Supreme Court and its ability to restrain the coalition
David Kretzmer
The constitutional revolution wasn’t Aharon Barak’s
It was the Knesset, not the court, that made radical change. As for those early-state judges, they were never robots

How a solo operation in my driveway became Israel’s National Food Bank
For 20 years, Leket Israel has fed those in need – breaking the cycle of poverty and preventing massive waste. It’s win-win!

Time for a Unity Government
Watching from the US, I’m astonished by the vitriol and extreme views that characterize Israel’s debate over judicial reform. Senior leaders of the opposition say this is the end of democracy. Demonstrators block traffic and reservists threaten not to report...

Let Go and Let God!
Parsha Vayikra opens up with Hashem calling out to Moshe: “Vayikra el Moshe” (Vayikra 1:1). In the word vayikra there is a small letter aleph. This is a unique occurrence because we only find small letters in eight other...

The West must crack down harder on Russia
In recent days, the UN Human Rights Council held an interactive dialogue on the political situation in the Ukraine. In this discussion, Erik Møse, Chair of the Independent International Commission of Inquiry on Ukraine, said “the conflict continued to...

Making the meal offerings come alive
A few months ago, I had the honor of being part of a workshop run by Matan and led by Rabbanit Shani Taragin at Meshek 48 in Rosh Tzurim. The goal of the workshop was to make Menachot (meal...

BBC documentary distorts history and colludes in identity theft
BBC documentary series, The Holy Land and Us: Our Untold Stories, perfectly balanced on-screen time yet perfectly unbalanced content and contributors. Indeed, if you were setting out to produce a documentary that peddled every lie and libel from the Palestinian playbook; that...

Why I protest: For all my siblings and friends
I have been to protests on behalf of only three causes in my life: The forfeiture of the Golan Heights to Syria, the possibility of giving parts of Jerusalem, including the Temple Mount, to the Palestinian government, and the...

Hear, O Israel! Listening in divided times
I have never known Israel as divided as it is today, and that's saying something. In divided times, the first thing that needs to be done, I would contend, is to listen. Both sides need to recognise the humanity...

Antisemitism in My Backyard
During the past few years, there has been a noticeable rise in anti-Semitism in the United States, and the Jewish community has been shocked by several acts of violence in Pittsburgh, Jersey City, Monsey, and Poway. However, as troubling...
