Yisroel Medad Fathom Journal, October 2021 “We are talking about one of the main Jewish collective community moments of the late 20th century.” From 1962, when Matzot for Russia’s Jews for the upcoming Passover holiday were dumped on the pavement in front of the Soviet Mission in Manhattan to highlight the cruel restrictions facing their brethren, to the rally of […]

Joseph Clark Washington Times, Oct. 13, 2022 “These are very serious allegations, and if the Biden administration did, in fact, attempt to coordinate with a foreign government to influence the U.S. election, that’s something the American people deserve to know. [House Speaker Nancy] Pelosi and Congress have a responsibility to get to the bottom […]
Nancy A. Youssef and Vivian Salama WSJ, Oct. 12, 2022 “We see no reason why American troops and contractors should continue to provide this service to countries that are actively working against us,” the legislators wrote in a statement, adding that Saudi Arabia and the U.A.E. were effectively aiding Russian President Vladimir Putin in […]
Andrew C. McCarthy National Review, Oct. 8, 2022 “The Arab Spring, in conjunction with the Muslim Middle East’s internecine bloodletting that followed the American exit from Iraq and continued unabated in the barbaric war in Syria, reshuffled the Islamist deck. The Saudi regime and the Brotherhood became bitter enemies.” ‘We were hoping to establish […]
Brandon J. Weich Washington Times, Oct. 17, 2022 “Clearly, Mr. Biden cannot tell friends from foes. Namely, Iran is a foe whereas Saudi Arabia, for all its imperfections, is a friend.

Sholom Aleichem Tablet, Oct. 9, 2020 “I took stock of all the other flags, then looked back at my own. What a contrast. Theirs weren’t even fit to hold a candle to mine. My flag was the most successful of all, for who had as much wax as me?” When I was a little […]

I have my doubts.” “One of the most famous foundational stories in the narrative of Anglo-Jewry,” it was called by Tablet several years ago.

Prof. Rabbi Marty Lockshin The Torah.com, Oct. 9, 2022 “Is this modern-sounding idea—that life without progress is meaningless—really Kohelet’s worldview?” In 1855, Adolph Jellinek (1821–1893) published a commentary on Kohelet (Ecclesiastes) from a late 13th century manuscript in Codex hebr. 32 (henceforth, “Hamburg 32”).

Peter Rough NY Post, Sept. 29, 2022 “Instead of condemning Ukraine to years of warfare and counting on European solidarity in perpetuity, the US should set as its goal Ukrainian victory.” On Friday, Russian President Vladimir Putin is set to deliver a widely anticipated speech celebrating the annexation of Ukrainian territory into the Russian Federation.
