PJ Grisar The Jewish News of North California, July 19, 2023 “Nolan frames the biography with two inquisitions: Oppenheimer’s infamous AEC hearing in 1954, which saw him lose his security clearance; and Strauss’ 1959 grilling in the Senate, where he was denied confirmation as Eisenhower’s secretary of commerce — largely due to his treatment of […]
Megan McCluskey TIME, July 21, 2023 “Antisemitism impacted him throughout his time studying at Harvard, and later, amid the Nazis’ rise to power in Germany, changed the way he engaged with his Jewishness.” After months of building anticipation, writer-director Christopher Nolan’s new movie Oppenheimer arrived in theaters Friday, kickstarting an opening weekend where it’s expected to collect around $50 […]
David Mikics Tablet, July 25, 2023 “Oppenheimer was too mercurial to ever win the Nobel Prize.” “I am become death, the destroyer of worlds.” These dreadful words are by now familiar to many. J.

Gil Troy JNS, Aug. 7, 2022 “If a people possesses something old and profound, which can educate man and train him for his future tasks, is it truly revolutionary to despise it and become estranged from it?” It’s become an annual modern ritual. Every summer, before Tisha B’Av, the ninth of the Hebrew month […]
Rabbi Lord Jonathan Sacks The Rabbi Sacks Legacy, July 28, 2014 “Because Jews throughout history have recognised tyranny for what it is, and have refused to be intimidated by power, threat, terror and fear. Somehow, in the most dangerous region of the world, Israel has created a society of freedom and order: a free press, […]
Rabbi Eliyahu Fink Orthodox Union, Aug. 5, 2014 “The simple version of the Roman conquest of Jerusalem in 70 C.E. is a story of superior Roman forces overwhelming a puny Jewish army.

Mark Raven Commentary Magazine, August 1951 “It was the Jew’s burden—and still is—to turn over in his soul an insoluble problem of history: how could one people above all others become heir to such sorrow?” This August 12th will be celebrated as Tisha B’av—the ninth day of the Jewish month of Av—the second most […]

Michael Ginsberg American Greatness, July 21, 2023 “What does [Obama] offer? First and foremost: his face. Think of it as the most effective potential re-branding of the United States since Reagan.
