Our mission is simple, and hopefully worthwhile: to help everyone better understand and become smarter about Judaism, Israel, and the Jewish world. In addition to our podcast, you’re invited to check out our digital publication: www.futureofjewish.com
The UK, Canada, and Australia were once the world's most tolerant multicultural societies. Now they are hotbeds of antisemitism. It spells major decline for these nations, not just for their Jews.
A military's goal should not be to win a theoretical contest of virtue. It should be to win the war it is forced to fight — as humanely as possible but, ultimately, as decisively as necessary.
Comparing the war in Gaza to the Holocaust is morally wrong, historically inaccurate, and horrifically dangerous. Those who do have fallen prey to Hamas propaganda, similar to Nazi pseudoscience.
This idea of a high-tech, low-grunt army came from the "woke" universe, and this whole disaster goes to show how much damage can be done by bad ideas, and how hard it is to reverse their effect.
Why does it feel like only the Jewish People's oppression comes with an asterisk?
“Unless being a Jew is of absolute significance, how can we justify the ultimate price which our people was often forced to pay throughout its history?”
Reducing Israel to a binary stance is not just reductive; it is the intellectual equivalent of a fast-food meal: satisfying in the moment, but devoid of any real substance.
This was Israel’s second War of Independence, not from the British, but from all the world’s other nations.
As for the next bout? Israel will be ready, as always, long before its adversaries realize the game has changed yet again. But what about the rest of us?
I now realize what it was like to be my ancestors, feeling public opinion building against the Jews, powerless to stop it. We thought we were free, but maybe we have always lived in the "shtetl."
How many dead Palestinians would be acceptable? The honest answer is, of course, none — and this question is not really a question. It is a trap.
The 1979 Islamic revolution in Iran offers a great deal of lessons for contemplating today's far-Left "Woke" movement.
In blessed memory of Rabbi Zvi Kogan, who was kidnapped and murdered in the United Arab Emirates this past weekend. That could have been any one of us Jews.
Here is a taxonomy of today's antisemites, so you do not confuse the Jihadist with the Social Media Ignoramus and make a fool of yourself.
When I was growing up, Canada seemed like an open and liberal society where Jews could feel at home. Today, this is no longer the case. Most Canadians of my generation probably agree.
The leftist imagination of pre-state Israel is one in which Jews were the only immigrants into Ottoman-era and then British-era Palestine; everyone else already lived there. This is patently false.
If your coffee order was made wrong, well, it is probably the Jews’ fault too.
Many people are insisting that only 21 percent of U.S. Jews voted for Donald Trump and the Republicans. I dove into the data and realized that they are deliberately misleading us.
The irony, as history and contemporary cases reveal, is that lawfare often generates outcomes precisely opposite to its intentions.
Countless Jews have stood up for others throughout history. Now it is your turn to stand with us.
