A fallen Druze soldier, as well as his wife and son, teaches us all the meaning and price of sacrifice.
Don’t just give until it hurts, give until it feels joyously good.
Golda Meir understood American Jews better than any other Israeli leader.
We embodied the Talmudic saying that all Jews are responsible for one another.
The news about young American Jews’ connection to Israel is better than you think, but there’s still a lot of work to do, and we are doing it.
Israel is the only Mideast ally that can be expected to consistently support America’s geopolitical decisions, as well as be an indispensable ally in the war on terror. This is Truman’s legacy in the region.
