Zionism
The prophetic project of return — and what it must yet become.
Support All of Us
“The Israelis” “The Palestinians” I looked for two sides I found only one side The side of humanity, life, and love 8 billion human beings and counting, created in the imago dei I appreciate your support for some of us But I invite you to leave your world behind Support all of us Because there … Read more
You Can Not Own Land
“You can not own land.”“Yes I can!” “Prove it.”“Uhhhh…” (Americans in particular will not like this politically incorrect post 😀) An object can be made or bought from the person who made it. Whether it’s big or small, the claim to ownership is clear. Land is not an object. It was not created by a … Read more
Ode to Jerusalem
Jerusalem is not just my home of 15 years. It is not just a sprawling city of hundreds of thousands nestled among the Judaean Hills. It is not just a political hotspot or a contested capital. It is a symbol of the most basic collective human dream – of society together in harmony and fellowship. … Read more
Equal Citizenship and Halakhic State
I’m the only person I’ve ever met who wants both equal citizenship with Palestinians and a halakhic state. 🤷 Right/left politics are banal. 😂

I have seen it used, again and again, as a symbol of the denial of legitimacy to my country. The denial of … Read more
What a Gift This Home Is
After years decades centuries of being hated as a Jew, there are few things more life-affirming than celebrating the founding of this country together with my fellow Israelis. That we finally have a country again, where we can just be our Hebrew selves and live our lives freely the way the good lord intended, does … Read more
Communal Self-Determination
As a Maimonidean, as a #Zionist, as a Libertarian Socialist – communal self-determination has a high place in my hierarchy of values. I think it’s all the more important here in #Israel, where the need to form new types of communities together, with new identities, new norms, new customs, new niggunim, is critical.
Yom Haatsmaut Amid Missiles
(long but LIFE AFFIRMING 👍) This week we are supposed to celebrate Yom Haatsmaut. A national day of independence. A celebration of the achievement and the miracle that was the creation of this state, and what it means for the people of Israel who have marched down this road for millenia. A recognition of what … Read more
