Array by Alan Jotkowitz
The Ne’ilah prayer, which we recite only once a year, clearly represents a moment of great religious drama, but its precise nature and purpose are somewhat mysterious. Alan Jotkowitz presents four different models for understanding Ne’ilah, drawing upon the teachings of Rav Yehuda Amital, Rav Aharon Lichtenstein, and Rav Ya’akov Medan.

Abbé Pierre and ‘Palestine’ by Hugh Fitzgerald

Abbé Pierre has been, until very recently, a revered figure in France, where he spent much of his life helping the poor. He was born as Henri Marie Joseph Grouès in 1912, into a family of rich silk merchants in Lyon. In 1928, at 16, he made the decision to join a monastic order, but […]

The October 8th War by Jonathan Schanzer
An unfathomable number of keystrokes (we don’t talk about spilling ink because that’s no longer a thing) was devoted yesterday to the anniversary of the October 7 massacre. Appropriately so.

The impact of campus activism that falls into misinformation: A Syrian’s perspective by Noah GhussenNoah Ghussen

When campus activists speak of Israel’s “senseless violence” or “systematic erasure,” they fail to recognize that Hezbollah itself has been a major contributor to this cycle of destruction.

The phrase 'Israel's War in Gaza' is dishonest by A.J. Caschetta
Netanyahu has suggested renaming the Swords of Iron War the War of Renewal, but what do the Israel-hating media call it - and what will go down in history as its name? Opinion.

SON OF HAMAS: Muslims and the pack mentality 
When the dog is alone it hesitates to attack, but when in a pack it shows different attitude. Had you ever been alone on a side road when a fearful dog began to bark calling other dogs to join his “resistance”? Muslims are usually meek when they are alone, but once they gather over an angry cause they surrender their individuality to the will of the pack. Muslims back other Muslims regardless of common sense or right and wrong. The current war in the ME exposed the Muslim pack mentality. They have been exploiting the Gaza tragedy as an excuse to project more hatred against the Jewish minority. I just wished that Muslims had the courage to admit their religious hatred against non Muslims. They will always create a messy situation in which the “victims” have the right to “resist”. Intelligent individuals are not swayed by the current of angry mobs. Following groups blindly is the quality of weak individuals who don’t know how to function without a group. Legitimizing genocide against minorities. Justifying or denying raping, kidnapping, beheading, and ethnic cleansing for a temporary sense of belonging or false sense of identity is the way of the weak. The Islamic hatred against Jews is the root cause of the Middle Eastern conflict. Soon the Muslims will realize that religious hatred will only bring suffering and destruction. And the attempts to annihilate a human race won’t succeed. Mosab Hassan Yousef is the author of an autobiography titled Son of Hamas, in which he reveals that he collaborated with Israeli intelligence services while he was a Hamas operative. Yousef has converted to Christianity and currently lives in the United States.

Reflections upon the Anniversary of October 7th by Tuly Weisz

Our staff got together to discuss planning how to commemorate the first anniversary of October 7th. Nothing we came up with seemed appropriately meaningful to mark such a massive trauma, that we are still reeling from. There were no words to convey our raw emotions
