More than 3,000 women recently gathered on a Sunday at Jerusalems International Convention Center in honor of their much-celebrated completion of seven-and-a-half years of daily Talmud study known as Daf Yomi.This festive event, which celebrated the study of a single page of Gemara every day until completing the entire Talmud, included a mass singing orchestrated by Koolulam of a song written by Yoram Taherlev and composed by Hanan Yovel called May the Sun Pass Over Me. The message was clear: No longer is Gemara study just for men.Women are now taking back the right to be active participants.

It is almost impossible to watch television or view other forms of media without being inundated with advertisements for 23andMe or ancestry.com, where viewers learn the stories of everyday people who, tracing their DNA and ancestry, learn they are related to great chieftains, famous jurists, inspiring social activists or President George Washington. We watch on screen as large family trees filled with numerous branches and leaves are traced back decades and generations, across time and countries, and we are encouraged to join the genetic revolution and trace our own family histories.

WASHINGTON: A federal lawsuit filed in Washington, DC, last week by 13 Palestinian and American activists accuses US President Donald Trump and his Middle East adviser Jared Kushner of violating Palestinian civil and human rights.Also named in the suit are Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu; New York Gov. Andrew Cuomo; Miriam Adelson, the wife of billionaire settler financier Sheldon Adelson; Israeli lobby group the The American Israel Public Affairs Committee (AIPAC); and 13 others.Attorney Martin McMahon said the action targets Trumps Deal of the Century, along with laws introduced in 28 American states that illegally deny Americans the right to boycott Israel.Filed on behalf of 13 plaintiffs, including Palestinians living in America and in occupied Palestine, the lawsuit argues they were stripped of their legal and civil rights not only Israel but by American officials and activists empowered by a biased media and political system.I know the system in this country is biased against Palestinian rights, but I also know that the rule of law defends those rights, McMahon told Arab News. With the power of the rule of law, we will prevail.McMahons lawsuit was filed during African American heritage month, which recognizes the civil rights struggles of black Americans who were enslaved and segregated under illegal laws and policies that stripped them of land rights, denied them citizenship and treated them as second-class citizens.
