At its eighth annual Jewish Leadership Conference in New York, the fast-growing Tikvah movement posed the provocative question: “Can the Jews Save the West?”

The contrast between the Jewish wisdom on display at the Tikvah conference and the screaming hatefest in front of the synagogue was instructive for anyone interested in building the Jewish future.

The film, “15 DAYS: The Real Story of America’s Pandemic School Closures,” is one woman’s effort to expose a scandal that has grown only more shameful with time.

An Israel that is good for America is a terribly inconvenient message for Israel-haters like Carlson and his ilk. That's why it's an urgent imperative that we make the case.

Mamdani’s election should be seen as the tipping point that made the Jews go all-in to save their city. Is there any group better suited for this task? Has any group done more for this great city?

When you base a movement around something immutable in a country that is all about aspiration and the possibility of change, your movement becomes a hope-killer without a future.

Because a core part of modern Jewish identity is a connection to Israel, anti-Zionism inherently targets Jews as an ethnoreligious group, another form of racism and bigotry.

Jews should feel empowered, not weakened, by the prospect of holding Mamdani accountable.

Sometimes, the most creative act of a creative community is to gather people under the stars and enable the magic of human connection.

We’ve endured for so long because we’ve always had reasons to continue our story, things to look forward to, moments to begin anew.
