Lies Travel Faster Than the Truth
On April 21, 2026, Syrian Girl, Maram Susli, @Partisangirl, posted a video on X with a single caption: “Israel shot a little girl in front of her brother while she was collecting water.”¹ The video is not from Israel. The story is not from Israel....

Yom Hazikaron (Day of Remembrance)
Mid-morning on Kvish 1, Tel Aviv to Jerusalem. Traffic gridlocked, still moving. Horns blaring. Windows down. Air thick with gas and diesel. Arms out windows. Hands gesturing. Cigarettes between fingers, ash falling. Hebrew. Arabic. Shouts. Laughs. Cars forcing space that isn’t there. A car cuts...

Clean Hands
The 22-year-old grad student doesn’t hate Jews. Ask her directly and she’ll tell you. She’s anti-Zionist, not antisemitic. There’s a difference. She knows the difference because she was taught there is one. Zionism is colonialism. Israel is an apartheid state. Resistance is justified. From the...

The Far-Right Invasion

Time to Heal
A man doesn’t have time in his life to have time for everything. He doesn’t have seasons enough to have a season for every purpose. – Yehuda Amichai I would like to “not have time” for the series of all-consuming crises of the last several...

Are We Like Pineḥas?
Devar Torah on Parashat Pineḥas, sometimes spelled “Pinchas” (Numbers 25:10 – 30:1). At the end of the portion Balak (Numbers 22:2 – 25:9) we meet Pineḥas, a fine young fellow. Yet we don’t get to the unwinding of his story until the following week, in...

Feast the Chronicle – June 6, 27, and July 4
Because I am embarrassingly behind on cooking Jessica Grann’s recipes, I decided to tackle some of the recent dishes in a batch. I pieced together a few recipes into a casual dinner party and invited our dearest friends over to enjoy it. (And weigh in...

Cooking the Chronicle – May 30th
At the end of May, our lives got flipped unexpectedly upside down. BH, our family and friends are all healthy, but around Pesach my husband realized he needed to start a job search and by Shavous he signed a contract to teach middle school Judiacs...
