Future of Jewish

Officials are blaming ISIS, which seems like a convenient scapegoat that shields state actors from consequences which could result in another Middle East war.

Hanukkah was never meant to be a comfortable holiday, because nothing terrifies the world more than dignified Jews who unapologetically defend themselves. All Jews today must prepare to do the same.

Because blaming Jews has always been easier than facing reality.

Too many people think antisemitism is a kind of social illness. In reality, both today and historically, it's an instrument of power, and Diaspora Jewry’s only real response is to reclaim it.

A Hanukkah massacre reveals the cost of trading Jewish power for acceptance, but Hanukkah reminds us: If we do not develop the habits of power, we will be left with the habits of fear.
