Gerald M. Steinberg Jerusalem Post, Apr. 11, 2025 “How did this ludicrous inversion of oppressor and oppressed, and of victimizer and victim take place? Who is responsible for erasing, distorting and appropriating the moral principles that distinguish between right and wrong?” When Jews worldwide sit around the Seder table and retell the 4,000 year old story of […]

Ira Stoll The NY Sun, Apr. 15, 2025 “Dr. Garber is so discredited that at this point that earlier this month, New York Congressman Ritchie Torres — a Democrat — showed up on a Saturday morning at Dr. Garber’s own synagogue at the liberal Democratic stronghold of Brookline, Massachusetts, to denounce Harvard’s failed leadership and […]

The Little-Known Bureaucrats Tearing Through American Universities: Liz Essley Whyte, Douglas Belkin and Sara Randazzo: WSJ, Apr. 14, 2025 Trump Administration Will Freeze $2 Billion After Harvard Refuses Demands: Vimal Patel, NY Times, Apr. 14, 2025 Does the US Government Have the Right to Condition Funding to Universities?: Alan Dershowitz, Gatestone, Apr. 1, 2025 A […]

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 […]

“The Haggadah is a book with no single author, a text shaped by centuries of anonymous accretions and insertions. Perhaps its non-linear development is part of the reason why, as I’ve written, it tells a disorganized account of the Exodus. And yet, the Haggadah that has come down to us still hangs together, possessed by a […]

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 […]
