Liz Essley Whyte, Douglas Belkin and Sara Randazzo WSJ, Apr. 14, 2025 “Antisemitic protesters inflicting violence and taking over entire college campus buildings is not only a crude display of bigotry against Jewish Americans, but entirely disruptive to the intellectual inquiry and research that federal funding of colleges is meant to support.” Columbia University’s president […]

Vimal Patel NY Times, Apr. 14, 2025 “Harvard, for its part, has been under intense pressure from its own students and faculty to be more forceful in resisting the Trump administration’s encroachment on the university and on higher education more broadly.” The Trump administration acted quickly on Monday to punish Harvard University after it refused […]
Alan Dershowitz Gatestone, Apr. 1, 2025 “… there are appropriate limits to academic freedom by universities seeking federal funding.” Many left-wing university faculty members (a redundancy if there ever was one) are rebelling against the Trump administration’s threat to cut federal funding to universities that tolerate antisemitic actions against their Jewish students. They condemned the […]
Jonathan S. Tobin JNS, Apr. 11, 2025 “… the liberal leadership of the organized Jewish world at places like ADL and AJC, as well as thought leaders like Lipstadt and Summers, feel that siding with Trump against antisemites is a bridge too far for them.” Is there such a thing as being too opposed to […]

Yosef Lindell Lehrhaus, Apr. 3, 2025 “… we focus on the story on Seder night precisely because we are now in exile and telling about the miracles of the Exodus gives us hope for the future.” On Seder night, we tell our national story. The Haggadah voices the Jewish tale of deliverance—from slavery to freedom, from […]
Shiela Tulier Keiter Jewish Review of Books, Apr. 2, 2025 “Whose idea was it to read the book in shul? And why don’t Sephardim, who also inherited the allegorical reading, read Song of Songs on Passover?” Whose idea was it to read the Song of Songs on Shabbat Chol Hamoed, the Sabbath that falls during […]
Robert Warren 18Forty, Apr. 3, 2025 “If in my youth Judaism seemed ancient and powerful, in my young adulthood Judaism was almost anachronistic.” I’m eight years old, and I push open the heavy front door of my grandparent’s house and squint into the darkness of the yard. I wonder if Elijah the Prophet will show […]
Rabbi Dr. Stuart Halpern Jewish Journal, Mar. 26, 2025 “In the midrashim, the Egyptian sequence of negative items led to their doom, but ‘Dayenu’ leads their Israelite adversaries in the opposite direction, to salvation and fulfillment. “ If we could figure out the origin of everyone’s favorite Passover song, it would be enough. The development of […]

Shachar Kleiman Israel Hayom, Mar. 13, 2025 “This imaginary entity is weaker than people think. With Allah’s help, your support, and the backing of our nation, we are capable of uprooting it and removing it as soon as possible. We trust in Allah that we are close to fulfilling this divine promise, from which there […]

Melanie Phillips JNS, Apr. 3, 2025 “The people protesting on the streets are the same people who, on Oct. 7, poured into Israel across the shattered border fence behind the Hamas stormtroopers and themselves took part in that barbaric orgy of rape, slaughter and kidnapping.” It is striking, if unsurprising, that the demonstrations against Hamas […]
Brendon O’Neill Spiked, Apr. 8, 2025 “Hamas are basically just Jew exterminators, that’s their only real purpose, they don’t correct the environment for [their] citizens’, he says. So, yeah, maybe we need something new, ‘to end the troubles’.” Johnny Rotten is revolting again. This time it’s not the monarchy or the music industry the sexagenarian […]
Pamela Paresky and Dan Schueftan Quillette, Apr. 2, 2025 “Hamas believed it could win—not because it was stronger, but because Gaza had become the most fortified place in history. Fortified not just with missiles and tunnels, but with CNN, The New York Times, the BBC, the courts in The Hague, Amnesty International—every institution dominated by the autocratic, dictatorial, […]
