Defining Antisemitism | The New York Historical A distinguished panel addresses what and how we determine and identify antisemitism in modern times.

Honored to be speaking at this event. If you’re in NYC on March 10, it should be a great conversation.

You’ve been saying β€œlast” for ten years β€” and luckily for us, I suspect, will keep saying it for the next 10

Lawmakers clash over opt-outs in school lessons over religious beleifs - UPI.com A House panel debated parents' rights to opt out their kids from lessons because of religious conflicts in public schools after a high court ruling.

Glad they included this quote of mine: "say a teacher tries to teach the value of nondiscrimination against religion…and some parents have a problem…because Chapter 16 of Mark says that those who are not baptized are condemned”

.@zalmanr.bsky.social's The Right to Exit Religion argues Wisconsin v. Yoder implicitly recognized a right to exit religion that states/courts do not do enough to protect, leaving it superficial & hard to effectuate. He uses NYC’s Hasidic community to show state-aided barriers to exit.

Opinion | The Jewish High Holidays teach this lost democratic virtue These days demand humility, which includes acknowledging that we do not have a monopoly on truth.

"The High Holidays are a call to temper our certainties, to confess our arrogance, and to recognize that courage and wisdom are found not in silencing disagreement but in learning how to live with it," @zalmanr.bsky.social writes. https://wapo.st/424oNZP

Today’s WaPo opinion page strikes a conciliatory tone with columns by @shadihamid.bsky.social and @zalmanr.bsky.social. Crucial reading in this fraught moment, when people are being silenced in the wake of Charlie Kirk’s killing and the potential for more political violence has risen exponentially.
