Every Jew, Not Just Israelis, Should Celebrate Jerusalem Day
Recently, while jogging through Jerusalem’s clean, coronavirus-hushed Old City, I started dreading Yom Yerushalayim. Usually, I love Jerusalem Day. It’s as glorious as Yom Ha’Atzmaut and July Fourth; as stirring as Hanukkah and Martin Luther King, Jr.’s birthday; as freedom-affirming as Passover and Presidents Day; and as awe-inspiring as Yom HaZikaron and Thanksgiving. Yet in […]
Celebrate Jerusalem Day with JerusAlbums celebrating great JerusaleMoments
What seems like a million years ago – last May – Steve Greenberg of S-Curve Records flew into Israel for the Eurovision contest. Before plunging into his Tel Avivi music world, he visited us in old-fashioned, delightedly-unfashionable, Jerusalem. Steve lived in Israel for two years and has visited over thirty times. He and his family […]

Millions denounced Reagan’s insensitivity — because 49 Nazi Storm Troopers were buried among the 2000 German soldiers. In a rare moment of bipartisanship, the […]
Gantz and Lapid must boost Zionist Muscular Moderation together
For months, a terrible dilemma vexed four principled patriots. To Bibi or Not to Bibi, that was the question. When two decided to Bibi, and two decided not, their uneasy alliance blew up. Yair Lapid and Boogie Ya’alon could not stomach working with Bibi, justifiably. Benny Gantz and Gabi Ashkenazi could not bear standing by […]

Spiritual Engagement Dulls The Pain of Social Estrangement
Although I’m a traditional person, I have never been much for praying. I usually attend services armed with a nonfiction book. Books make sense to me: they inform, change, enlighten, surprise and inspire. Prayer books always struck me as the spiritual equivalent of laundry instructions: rinse, wash, repeat — laden with time-consuming obscure rituals and words. […]
