Three of the legendary Israeli singer Ofra Hazas 42 years remain the focus of almost every treatment of her after her death, and especially as this weeks 20th anniversary of her death approached. Her last three years from when she married Doron Ashkenazi in 1997 until her death in 2000, are repeatedly put under a microscope, scrutinized, mapped out and deciphered her relationship with her husband, her longing for a child, the breakup with her longtime manager Bezalel Aloni, her illness, the secrecy and ultimately her death. Her death did not just cause shock and deep sadness because of the sudden passing of a great, admired and relatively young singer, but also because of the total contradiction between the circumstances of her death and Hazas image, which was all pleasantness, innocence and clarity.

Its sobering to live in a world overdosing on Ahasueruses and Hamans but missing Esthers and Mordecais.Today, Israel and the United States are led by modern Ahasueruses.Drunk on power, Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu foolishly paralyzes an entire country for a year in his desperate refusal to retire. For years, many of us believed that whatever our disagreements with him, he woke up daily asking Whats best for Israel and the Jewish people

Despite the fact that Wednesdays Democratic debate in Las Vegas was the first debate to feature both Jewish presidential contenders, the word Jewish was not mentioned once. On top of that, neither Vermont Senator Bernie Sanders nor former New York City Mayor Mike Bloomberg took the opportunity to discuss their very different relationships to their American Jewish identities, and how it has affected their politics. But make no mistake: There was still a very Jewish moment in the debate, and it was a moment that shows just how much and how little Jewish politics has changed in the past decades.

Benny Gantzs campaign to unseat Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu centers on a single word: mamlachtiyut. Coined by Israels founding Prime Minister David Ben-Gurion, it is the Hebrew term for civic virtue, for putting the good of the state above sectarian divisions and personal interests above everything. It is the central pillar of Gantzs Blue and White party, which otherwise offers only a vague platform.

Conventional wisdom has it that all the world loves a wedding; but even more than a wedding, all the world loves a scandal. For the past year or so, the Israeli media by and large have been drooling over the possibility that Blue and White leader Benny Gantz might become the next prime minister, replacing Benjamin Netanyahu, who has served even longer than founding prime minister David Ben-Gurion
