The Future of Jewish

The American public deserves a true picture of this relationship, not an agenda dressed up as policy analysis to serve someone's political interests.

Gadi Eisenkot is everything Benjamin Netanyahu is not.

Democracy's greatest strength is also its greatest weakness.

The U.S.-Iran deal reveals an uncomfortable truth: The world is far more comfortable with a vulnerable Israel than a victorious one.

After helping the U.S. cripple Iran, Israel is being asked to accept an agreement that could leave it more vulnerable than before.

I no longer want to spend my life negotiating my place in a country that keeps asking Jews to justify theirs.

Many people look at the U.S.–Iran deal and see an Israeli defeat. Jewish history tells a different story: The long game often belongs to those who lose the moment but win the future.

I came from inside the machine that produces hatred of Israel, and I am telling anyone who will listen: The machine is a lie.

It's not about failing to qualify. It's about how dirty politics changed the route itself.

The Arab world stopped trying to defeat Israel on the battlefield decades ago. Jews are only now realizing where the real war moved.

Three factions claim to define "America First." Israel exposed the fault lines between them — and showed which vision is winning.

A disappointing agreement with Iran is unlikely to change the way Israelis think, fight, or prepare for what comes next.

Regime change never came. Hormuz became the center of gravity. This ceasefire is not a victory — it is an exit strategy.

Enduring forms of antisemitism are not always imposed from the outside. Sometimes they are absorbed, repeated, and defended by Jews themselves.

Why are we negotiating with anyone who mistakes the Trump Administration for the presidencies of Jimmy Carter and Barack Obama?

This is, at its root, the most Jewish intuition I know, and our tradition hid it inside one of its strangest and most beautiful images.

We were told the last Iran deal solved the problem. Now we're being asked to believe it again.

If the Iranian regime keeps the uranium, nothing else matters.

For decades, we've been told Israel depends on America. History tells a very different story.

Ultra-Orthodox Jews have preserved Judaism, but who will preserve the Jewish homeland?

The movement that once preached "give peace a chance" now finds itself excusing terrorism, boycotting Israel, and turning against the world's only Jewish state.

I searched religion and philosophy for 20 years. Then I found Orthodox Judaism.

The Left increasingly rejects Israel. The Right is moving on. Now what?

The relationship between Israel and the U.S. works because it is an alliance between sovereigns. The moment one begins dictating fundamental security decisions, the relationship becomes distorted.

The Islamic Republic didn't spend 45 years preparing for peace. It spent 45 years preparing for permanent revolution, war, and bloodshed.

Most Israelis don't want war. They simply refuse to surrender to people who openly promise more of it.

Everyone wanted Iran weakened. Nobody wanted what came next.

The rabbis of the Talmud were already exploring how interconnected systems, hidden variables, and cascading consequences shape reality.

The crisis facing Jews today is not only antisemitism but self-expression. After decades of translating Judaism into Western pop culture, many do not know how to explain Judaism on its own terms.

The central question of Jewish life is not whether Judaism affirms each of our beliefs, but whether we accept the obligations that come with inheriting it.

The fixation on the Jewish state has become a distraction from the far more consequential challenges reshaping societies from within.

This week we hosted Canada's Prime Minister in our Toronto synagogue. He spoke to every Canadian — except us Jews.

A billion dollars can build another institution — or it can build the largest network of Jewish and Israeli creators, storytellers, and influencers the world has ever seen.

The keffiyeh is the accessory, social media is the location, and moral licensing is what keeps the party going.

It's perfectly acceptable to have different opinions, but it's a whole other thing to distort, mislead, and accuse Israel of complete falsehoods.

Too many Westerners won't quit believing the fantasy that peace creates security. Israelis know it's the other way around.

The problem isn't Judaism. It's a community model that no longer matches how many Jews live.

From antisemitic politicians to grocery-store boycotts, the Left's fixation on the Jewish state is driving away voters, dividing its coalition, and turning "activism" into self-sabotage.

The headlines say Israel controls 70 percent of Gaza. The reality on the ground is far more complicated — and understanding it changes the entire conversation.

What makes Israel extraordinary is not the land itself, but the people who are always prepared to defend it.

I have spent the last two and a half years watching the country my grandparents chose unmake itself.

Jewish humor may be the most successful survival strategy in human history.

Jew-hatred among Black people and Black organizations has surged since October 7th — and it needs to be called out.

He voluntarily walked into hell, survived it, and became too dangerous for history to remember.

October 7th exposed the dangers of illusion, yet much of Israel's Left still clings to a wildly outdated worldview.

Jewish history is filled with prosperous communities that convinced themselves success meant safety — right before discovering it did not.

We are living through the largest propaganda environment in human history — and no country on earth is more relentlessly mythologised, demonised, and misrepresented online than the Jewish state.

Islam is the only major religion on earth that tries to govern people who never chose it.

Jews are uniquely expected to distance ourselves from our homeland before being accepted in "progressive" society.

And that's a good thing — a very good thing.

Many Jewish organizations were designed for an era when social acceptance felt permanent. That era is over.
