A Question of Price:
Because We're Worth More |
Time has gone by and the issue is still unresolved. The public debate is around the same issues: whether to pay a price at all, what is a fair price to pay for the safe release of an abducted Israeli soldier or whether a kidnapped Israeli soldier is priceless.
Are we worth more, as the author suggests, or is the price rising with each deal and release of thousands of Palestinian prisoners?

Best of Both Worlds?:
High-tech in the Service of the Rabbis |
Are the new opportunities for ultra-orthodox women's employment by Israeli high-tech firms a step in the right direction for incorporating these religious communities into the larger productive society?

Breaking the Myth of Semantics:
Post-Zionism Doesn't Exist |
"The arguments called "post-Zionist" have various aspects - not only political but also cultural. They view Zionism as a colonial phenomenon, not as a national movement that is contending with another, Palestinian, national movement over its claim to the same territory. Some of those who are called "post-Zionists" go even further in their argument that the very existence of a Jewish people is a "narrative" that was invented in the 19th century, and that the Jews are at base a religious community."

Far-flung relatives in the Jewish world :
The Ten Lost Tribes of Israel: Looking for The Remnants |
The literature dealing with the mysterious Ten Lost Tribes of Israel is so staggeringly vast that we can only hope to provide a brief outline. Undeniably, the concept of our far-flung brothers scattered to the four corners of the globe has lit the imagination of the Western World for many centuries; today, with the existence of the Jewish state, the legend has become a political dilemma: should Israel, according to its own Law of Return, recognize as citizens of the state every group that proclaims itself as a descendent of The Ten Lost Tribes?

Chag Sameach!:
An Absolutely Very Short Guide to Keeping Kosher for Pesach |
One of the greatest problems concerning the Passover holiday is keeping kosher. Keeping kosher is difficult for many of us in the best of times, but when Passover arrives, it becomes total confusion. I will try in a small way to explain the rudiments of it all. This is not intended as comprehensive guide to keeping kosher (which is not within the scheme of my expertise.) If you wish to delve into greater detail please consult you local Rabbi.
