JERUSALEM More than six months into the war in Gaza and with dimming hopes for a cease-fire deal, Palestinians there are growing more critical of Hamas, which some of them blame for the months-long conflict that has destroyed the territory and their lives. The war has displaced most of the Gaza Strips population, killed tens of thousands of people and pushed the enclave toward famine, its infrastructure in ruins. The Israeli military waged a punishing campaign to eliminate Hamas after the group, which has ruled Gaza for 17 years, attacked Israel on Oct.

Driving into Yad Binyamin, a small town in central Israel, on a sunny Thursday afternoon, one could almost forget that we are in the middle of a war. The streets are calm, quiet, and peaceful, the flowers are in bloom, and the setting is idyllic. However, the illusion is broken as I see an IAF jet approaching the nearby Tel Nof Airbase for landing

The days and weeks following October 7thwere some of the most difficult in the lives of Jewish educators. Those of us who had spent the past three years adapting our programs for Zoom learning, hybrid learning, pandemic learning, and any other effects of COVID-19 were now faced with the need to adjust once again, to provide both comfort and information to our learners and their families.

(JTA) On Saturday night, I watched an episode of We Were the Lucky Ones,Hulus new Holocaust series. On Sunday morning, I woke up to a traumatic scene in my own community:a red swastika painted on the bannerthat sits on the front lawn of the suburban Philadelphia synagogue where my husband is the rabbi. Even though it wasnt shattered glass, or broken bones, it was painful to see it there, right there, in our own backyard, on our property, on our beloved banner that advertises our early childhood program and the summer camp my children will attend.
