Show Me the Way of the Hebrews: The Making of an African American Rabbi

By J. Lester Feder

…assignment for The Washington Post, a cover story for the magazine about a new African American synagogue in DC started in 2008 by Mother Dailey’s grandson, Eli Aronoff. (Aronoff claims no Ashkenazi ancestry despite his surname—his father was from rural South Carolina.)

By Shaul Magid

…tive. He was a hopped-up, stoned version of Jon Stewart, who once told Fox News, which had charged that his news program was slanted: “but my show is on Comedy Central!” Thompson was able to awaken his readers to the absurdity of their lives by documenting the absurdity of his.

Chauvin Verdict isn’t a Turning Point in Equal Justice, But it Does Suggest a New Political Norm

By John Stoehr

…, the former president, almost certainly without knowing it, established a new assumption that’s unlikely to undo itself any time soon, an assumption that not only understands that the work of liberty and justice for all is ongoing, but also that the Republicans’ lies are no longer worth accepting or overlooking. The world saw Derek Chauvin squeeze the life out of George Floyd. No lie could hide that. The world saw the former president try to sque…

What Does a Moral Economy Look Like for the 99 Percent?

By Jonathan Rosenblum

…Bernie Sanders’ presidential campaign has brought millions of people into new or renewed political activism. But many of them are struggling with questions about where and how to invest their energy. I hope my book provides some clarity for them and a path forward—an understanding that our fight encompasses all of us against the 1 percent. Are you hoping to just inform readers? Entertain them? Piss them off? An effective organizer agitates people…

Discovering “Little Syria”—New York’s Long-Lost Arab Neighborhood

By Brook Wilensky-Lanford

…, all living vertically next to the elevated train tracks, in time-honored New York City tenement tradition. Only, in contrast to Chinatown or the Lower East Side, there is nearly nothing left of Little Syria. I walked what remains of Little Syria with Joseph Svehlak, a longtime tour guide and founder of Friends of the Lower West Side, whose mother, of Czech heritage, grew up in the neighborhood.

By Shaul Magid

…to take root in Palestine. But that same social context also gave rise to new Arab newspapers such as El Carmel and El Palestine, around which coalesced a collective Palestinian identity.

Terminal 5 is a Product of the New Post-9/11 Realities

By Louis A. Ruprecht

…terminal, Terminal 5, has recently been opened at Fiumicino, an antiseptic new structure standing at some considerable remove from the other four terminals I knew. It is linked by shuttle bus, but they come infrequently, and the ride is a long one. Terminal 5 itself seemed empty, institutional, and almost eerily silent. Terminal 5 is a product of the new post-9/11 realities. To be sure, many European airports have long segregated US-bound and Isra…
