As we commemorate International Holocaust Remembrance Day, it’s worth remembering not only how Jews died but also how Jews responded: not by wallowing in victimhood but by building and thriving. jewishjournal.com/commentary/col…

Imagine the outcry if a group of Jewish public schoolteachers would announce a “Zionist teach-in” for MLK Day. Would Mayor Mamdani allow such a disruption of a national holiday? jewishjournal.com/commentary/col…

Given the state we’re in, MLK's legacy has never been more essential. I can’t think of a better way to honor his legacy on MLK Day than to remember how he tried to bring our country together through the shared ideals expressed at our founding. jewishjournal.com/commentary/col…

The butchers of Tehran love their own freedom to be butchers. What they can’t stomach is to give their people the same freedom to be human. jewishjournal.com/commentary/col…

COVER STORY: Soon we will know whether Iran’s newest uprising becomes another chapter in a long pattern, or the moment the pattern breaks. For one thing is already clear: this time, fewer people are asking for reform and more are asking for an ending. jewishjournal.com/cover_story/38…

Had the media delved more deeply into CBS editor-in-chief Bari Weiss’s editorial input, readers today would be feasting on journalism rather than sketchy optics. jewishjournal.com/commentary/col…

"Why are moderate Muslims so silent—both in Europe and America? Don’t they have an interest in reclaiming their religion from extremists?" @JewishJournal #BondiBeachTerrorAttack #ChristmasMarket jewishjournal.com/commentary/opi…

This week, American Jewry lost Norman Podhoretz—a street kid with a sharp mind. Fierce in defense of Jews, Israel, and America. As we light the final candle on the longest night of the year, the message is simple: Jewish identity will not fade quietly.🕎 jewishjournal.com/commentary/col…

Schmoozing with David Ellison: “We Want to Regain America’s Trust” On a night hosted by a center that makes sure the world never forgets the lessons of the Holocaust, that one line—I chose life—pierced through every grateful heart in the A-list room. jewishjournal.com/commentary/col…

The Islamic Republic of Great Britain 🇬🇧🇸🇦? Not quite. I’m optimistic despite everything… jewishjournal.com/commentary/col… #manchester #antisemitism

American leaders have long had an affinity for that first of the Five Books of Moses. My latest in the @JewishJournal jewishjournal.com/judaism/384485…

Whether or not Brewster Whitecaps alum Will Smith and the Dodgers emerge victorious, all Americans have reason to cheer for William Brewster - a fascinating figure whose biblically-infused impact continues to inspire. My latest in the @JewishJournal jewishjournal.com/judaism/384587…

Schmoozing with Bill Maher at Simon Wiesenthal gala. Me: "I love how you're not afraid to piss off your fans." Him: "Thanks."

Sometimes, the most creative act of a creative community is to gather people under the stars and enable the magic of human connection. Reflections on @CCFPeace's 7th annual Ambassadors of Peace Gala: jewishjournal.com/commentary/col…
