Today marks the anniversary of the AMIA bombing, the deadliest terrorist attack in Argentine history.

Must-read @LeeSmithDC on JD Vance's Big Crashout. Only in @tabletmag

The vice president’s grievance-soaked performance on Joe Rogan’s podcast suggests that his meteoric political rise may meet a similarly spectacular end ✍️ @LeeSmithDC tabletmag.com/sections/news/…

Vice presidents are supposed to sell the president's agenda. JD Vance spent his Joe Rogan interview selling himself—to the woke right. Yesterday in The Scroll: tabletmag.com/the-scroll/art…

Trump says Iran's leaders are "crazy" after betting on negotiations with the very officials his administration called "moderates." What changed? And is this pivot any more than talk? tabletmag.com/sections/news/…

100 million downloads later, Scott Philbrook is less interested in proving ghosts exist than understanding why people experience the unexplained in the first place. tabletmag.com/sections/commu…

Yes, JD Vance is sowing chaos by blaming Israel and the Jews for the failure of his Iran deal — but it's POTUS who gave him the room by not deciding, not yet anyway, to win. Me in @tabletmag tabletmag.com/sections/news/…

From Isaiah to Elon Musk, visions of a world without money have captivated prophets, rabbis, technologists, and science fiction writers alike. tabletmag.com/sections/news/…

After suddenly collapsing the foundations of America’s security architecture in the Middle East, President Donald Trump now recalls that Iran is run by crazy liars—and that the point of fighting wars is winning. But is the administration’s new line just more talk, asks @LeeSmithDC. tabletmag.com/sections/news/…

In the latest Israel Update, @Doranimated and @GadiTaub1 discuss Emanuel's speech and visit to Israel, the MOU, Ro Khanna's West Bank excursion and more. tabletmag.com/podcasts/israe…

Why did Rahm Emanuel go to Israel? "What he was doing there is establishing his line on Israel that can protect him from the accusation that he's part of the Jewish conspiracy to control America," says @Doranimated.

More Americans are searching for Bigfoot. What they're really looking for is mystery, community, and a world that still feels enchanted. tabletmag.com/sections/commu…

“Israel has sovereignty. The Diaspora has memory. A resilient Jewish people needs both.” @liel responds: Peoplehood doesn’t come before Judaism. It grows out of it. tabletmag.com/sections/israe…

What actually holds the Jewish people together? An editorial exchange between Tablet’s editors and Eran Shayshon wrestles with one of the biggest questions facing Jews after Oct. 7. tabletmag.com/sections/israe…

Tell a Jew from 1346, or 1497, or 1648, or 1938 what this era actually holds, and don’t leave anything out: Hebrew spoken by millions, a Jewish army defending a Jewish state, Jewish communities flourishing across much of the world, and, yes, an attempted genocide like Oct. 7. He would recognize the tragedy instantly. What would surprise him is everything standing next to it: an army, a state, the power to respond.

Dominique Lévy helped build the modern art world. When Oct. 7 exposed just how hostile that world had become toward Jews, she refused to stay silent. tabletmag.com/sections/arts-…

These institutions were not always rotten; something in them changed over the last decade: Principle was traded for donor comfort, standards for slogans, scrutiny for the easier feeling of being on the right side of a hashtag. Oct. 7 did not create that rot. It was the storm that hit at the exact moment the hull had already given out, and the whole world got to see which vessels were still seaworthy. Ours went down first, because they had already been rotting for years. Throwing us over the side was simply what they did to survive a little longer. Thank God they threw us overboard. It may have been the only way for us to have avoided going down with them.

We are the first generation of Jews in nearly 2,000 years to inherit both sovereignty in our ancestral homeland and a thriving global Jewish people. That's the perspective Oct. 7 forced many of us to rediscover. ✍️ @BenMFreeman tabletmag.com/sections/commu…

@LeeSmithDC’s article brilliantly mimics Argentina’s defeat of Egypt in the last 13 minutes. He scores a 5-paragraph killer summary of Egyptian history and it gets better from there! He puts @tabletmag in the semifinals!! 😄👏💪🏼🇺🇸| The Culture of Loserdom tabletmag.com/sections/sport…
