07/06/2010 - Israelis Wonder: Has the World Lost Its Mind? Yossi Klein Halevi The U.N. Security Council urgently convenes to create yet another anti-Israel kangaroo court - even as the sanctions effort against Iran’s nuclear program falters 06/06/2010 - Jerusalem: City of Dreams and Real Estate Stuart Schoffman The ultimate solution for Jerusalem, an out-of-the-box arrangement for this unique and wondrous city that provides security and dignity for all its inhabitants, awaits its new visionary. With any luck, he or she will be wiser than Solomon, and find a way to share the contested treasure 17/05/2010 - Shavuot and the Meaning of the Covenant David Hartman This Shavuot, as we celebrate the giving of the Torah at Sinai, we should pause to consider the covenantal relationship that Sinai represents. Understanding our relationship with the divine begins with understanding our covenant with Him: a covenant that presents us with a world that is waiting to be shaped by human initiative and action 12/05/2010 - Ground for Zionist revolution was set at Sinai David Hartman On Shavuot we learn that God is not a super daddy who will necessarily protect us under all situations. Covenant is not an infantilizing experience, but rather an empowering one 06/04/2010 - Auschwitz or Sinai? David Hartman Our bodies have painfully tasted man’s indifference and inhumanity to his fellow man. We have witnessed in our own flesh the moral evil present in human society. Our suffering should not lead us to self-righteous postures, but to an increased sensitivity about all human suffering 18/02/2010 - Israeli Conversion Ariel Picard The dramatic changes in the character of Jewish existence in the modern era have reshaped the spheres of Jewish identity and have made it necessary to create conversion mechanisms that are appropriate to the new possibilities 12/01/2010 - God’s rainbow: Anger management device Yair Lorberbaum The research of Professor Yair Lorberbaum on the image of God in the Bible shows that in contrast to the positions of most of the classical commentators and researchers the Biblical God is subject to emotional flare-ups and is affected by his relations with man. God`s longing for a connection with man, claims Professor Lorberbaum, is sometimes in conflict with his historic plans; however, this longing itself essentially constitutes the deep motivation for his plans 12/01/2010 - The secular Ten Commandments of Bialik Ari Elon The followers of Israeli poet Haim Nahman Bialik were in raptures over his poetry and his innovations but consistently ignored his call for the building of a secular halakha that would define an obligatory ethical foundation for the emerging national entity 29/09/2009 - Intimate relationships: Parents and children Samuel Gordon All we really desire is to hear words that will validate us, that we will feel the embrace of someone who loves us, that we will hear in some way: My son, My daughter, My child, My grandchild, My love. What more do any of us desire? Unconditional love, from parents, lovers, spouses, children, and from God      1     2     3     4      Next
