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 moral software we use to detect antisemitism hasn’t been updated in years. It no longer recognizes the new strains of Jew-hate. That’s what makes it so dangerous.
I wasn’t born a Jew. Rampant college antisemitism drove me to become one.
This is not a war simply against Hamas. It is a war against "Palestine."
Welcome to the UN, where Israel is cast as the world's greatest villain, and its executioners get a standing ovation.
What is it about this popularized Hebrew phrase that seems to drive people batsh*t crazy and leads us to disaster?
As the late, great Rabbi Jonathan Sacks said, a nation is held together by a covenant: a shared story, identity, and responsibility. Israel understands this; much of today's West does not.

A hatred so irrational, so obsessive, and so resistant to facts and history should no longer be treated as mere prejudice. It should be diagnosed.
The Holocaust made Jews sad. October 7th and its aftermath made us angry. Two-thousand years of suppressed Jewish rage ends now.
The "Free Palestine" chant doesn't have to make sense. It only needs to unite all against the symbol of "evil" — the one they declared the barrier to a more "just" world: the Jew.
If your commitment to justice is consistent and honest, then you already know that supporting Israel isn’t extreme. Pretending it’s controversial is.
