Past speakers at MJBI before Bush included Mike Huckabee and Glenn Beck. The Pew survey, notably, also showed shifts in American Jewish attitudes towards Israel, a development that mus…

…physically move through the world according to its irresistible—but oh-so-welcome—pull. For example, Google anticipates the granddaughter’s needs before she even can articulate them. Her search terms move from vague to specific: “park with ancient gate in lahore,” evolves into “oldest sweet shop near mochi gate lahore,” evolves into “fazal sweets,” evolves into the momentous, game-changing phone call.

Forty Years Ago, the Worst Mass Murder of LGBT People in the U.S.

By Candace Chellew-Hodge

…73. The denomination began for the simple reason that LGBT people were not welcome in mainstream congregations—not openly, anyway.

By Seth Sanders

…rt to it to make this statement against Hamas? Wiesel’s story does offer a welcome embrace of both peoples as the children of two brothers, but it also implies that only the Jews learned God’s lesson to not kill children. In my own lifetime, I have seen Jewish children thrown into the fire. And now I have seen Muslim children used as human shields, in both cases, by worshippers of death cults indistinguishable from that of the Molochites. As polit…

By Andrew Aghapour

…t be surprised to learn that Chomsky’s refusal to just be polite came as a welcome surprise. Here are three take-home lessons from the Harris vs. Chomsky Fight of the Century. 1. Call Out Bullshit Thought Experiments. For Sam Harris, “not all cultures are at the same stage of moral development.” Yes, he admits, the U.S. has committed atrocities at a larger scale than many of our enemies, but we have higher moral standing because these were mistake…
