An Immodest Proposal: Democratic Recall
For a huge number of Israelis, PM Netanyahu’s firing of Defense Minister Yoav Gallant in the middle of a war on several fronts, with another imminent massive Iranian attack in the offing, is the “last straw”. This, especially when...

Subcontracting Yeshivas – The Smart Way to the Charedi Draft
In this week's Torah portion, Lech Lecha, we read how Avraham Avinu took up arms when called upon to protect his kinsman. We learn from the Ramban that 'the acts of the fathers are signs for the children'. Today's charedim...

Why guilt-tripping the ultra-Orthodox into joining the IDF doesn’t work

The Haredi and the IDF
Instead of pulling together, we Jews are at each other throats again, this time arguing over whether to draft the Haredim into the IDF. Weary of the so-called seven-front war fought overwhelmingly by the same small pool of people, a...

When the Torah weeps
In these days of blood, fire, and pillars of smoke, as our brothers fall sanctifying God's name, I stand with my soul torn. Not from doubt -- but from pain. Pain over our Torah world that has turned so...
