The High Court of Israel ordered the government to offer immediate medical treatment for five women from Gaza. Relatives of Hamas leaders…in what world, in what country, would that its leaders extend such kindness to the families of murderers, terrorists and killers?
It’s summer and so this post may not make sense, but what better time to begin to fight a national tradition than before it becomes necessary. So, here goes. As a former “soldier’s mother“, I’m making a request to all soldiers to put on your coat this winter. Before you …
Stanley Goldfoot is often credited with writing an iconic article entitled “A Letter to the World from Jerusalem”. Sometimes, it is called, “An Open Letter to the World from Jerusalem”. Goldfoot was the founding editor of the Times of Israel – no, not the website that exists today (and leans …
According to a recent survey, “support for a two-state solution to the Israeli-Palestinian conflict is at the lowest point in two decades. Less than half the Israeli population supports the concept (49%), and amazingly enough, support for it is even lower among Palestinians (43%). One of the questions that was …
Today, I met a Jewish woman who had nothing good to say about Israel, about Jerusalem, about Israelis, even about the very air we breathe. Okay, I’ll admit, I shmooze with strangers all the time. It’s one of the things I love about Israel – pretty much, most of us …

Tragically, the arson attack on Beit Meir resulted in the loss of over 2,000 works of art over a span of 40 years. How do you cope with such a devastating blow? Yoram and Meira Raanan found one way. While the paintings were forever lost, we are all blessed that photos of many of the paintings remain.
Like most Israelis, I have dear friends living very close to the Gaza border. Some have, yet again, been forced to spend nights in bomb shelters with their children; others don’t have a shelter in their apartments and so rush to safety at the sound of a siren. We have …
The big debate in Israel today is a rather silly one. It’s seriously a serious topic but the silly part is thinking that any of us have a say in whether or not there will be a war. I’m not even convinced the Israeli government has a say in it, …
