Israel will likely lose this war
The possibility that Israel does not completely vanquish Hamas, that it becomes a military occupier of Gaza and faces an Iranian-funded terrorist insurgency, and that its strategic alliance with the US deteriorates over time is not a worst-case scenario....

The War’s Second Front
When we think of a second front in this war, we think of Lebanon and Hezbollah. Yet there is already a second front to this war: it is being waged on the streets of London, New York, Berlin, and Rome,...

Israel at War
Yom Kippur II
The region will change after this war in ways we can’t know. There will be many dead. In the end, Israel will prevail.

Accompanied by God
This week's portion, with the deaths of Jacob and Joseph, marks the end of a family saga and of an era. This is also Jacob's swansong, the end of a long, mostly unhappy life of the Bible's main tragic...

Striving with God
This week's portion is the climax of Jacob's struggle/life/life-struggle: after 20 years with treacherous Laban, he returns home. It was 20 years ago that Jacob fled for his life from Esau, who wanted to kill him for stealing his...

The Bible portion opens as Jacob begins his journey from his parents' house to his uncle Laban – both to escape from his brother and to find a bride; it is as if he is starting afresh, beginning a...

From where you are to where you’re supposed to be
