Rabbi Moshe Hauer

Rabbi Mosher Hauer is the executive vice president of the Orthodox Union, one of the largest Jewish organizations in the United States.

As a Jew today, I feel like the biblical Hannah, misread by man.
My mother has studied and experienced enough of Jewish history to be wary of its repeated patterns of tragedy and dislocation, and the chronic failures of overconfidence.
America’s “both-sidesers” have been afforded the perfect opportunity to achieve moral clarity and choose to become a force for good.
At the Democratic National Convention, we must hear strong support for Israel and the Jewish people from the nominee and the delegates.
Kindness is greater than charity; we must open our homes to those in need of connection.
Thousands are dying; the devastation is overwhelming. We cannot just watch this disaster unfold.
Our seders will be smaller, and we won’t be with neighbors and extended family. Many will celebrate the holiday in complete or relative isolation.
