Obama, affirm the Jewish people's 3,200 year old connection to the Land of Israel

President Obama should affirm the Jewish people's historic connection with its homeland, absent from his 2009 Cairo speech, as well as to call for religious freedom for all Jews, a renewal of the peace process, and an effective response to Iran’s nuclear military ambitions.

The Holocaust began with elections

On International Holocaust Remembrance Day, Yad Vashem's Dr. Robert Rozett reminds us that Hitler exploited democracy to come to power. Elections alone do not mean a society protects the civil liberties of the individual, their dignity or even their right to life; but those values must be ingrained in society to prevent future crimes against humanity.

She brought Israelis to the Talmud, can she bring its wisdom to the Knesset?

Unnatural bedmates: Time for Haredim to cut loose from the Likud

The left's contempt pushed the Ashkenazi Haredim into the arms of the Likud nearly three decades ago. Now is the time for United Torah Judaism to break loose from the irrational, false theology of Bennett and Feiglin and hitch their wagon to Yesh Atid's up-and-coming political star.

Whatever happens after Tuesday's elections, American Jews won’t abandon Israel

The coming American Jewish estrangement from Israel is a myth. What actually happens in Israel is much less important to most American Jews than what it stands for in their hearts and minds. But that also means there's no U.S. Jewish leverage on Israelis not to vote the far right into office.
