Western Wall
Muslim Rulers Once Gave Jews Permission to Pray at the Western Wall. What Happened to Their Decrees?
The search for the missing firman.
At the instigation of a 16th-century sultan.
With one breath we mourn, with another we rejoice.
Even the Western Wall is no longer a symbol of national sorrow.
Furious and extreme proposals in response to two Israeli government decisions are ill-reasoned and immature.
The latest slander.
Imagine that those who are perfectly comfortable offending the rigid sensibilities of pious Jews felt the same way about the rigid sensibilities of pious Muslims.
The flipside of the Kotel controversy.
Jewish peoplehood vs. the ultra-Orthodox.
The ultra-Orthodox are willing to fight. Few of the non-Orthodox are.
In U.S. foreign policy, there is no fouler cesspool than this.
The tension at the heart of Zionism.
“A kind of religious ecstasy.”
Remembering David Rubinger.
