Christianity and Judaism diverge sharply on forgiveness.

“This should tell you everything you need to know about our enemies,” the Israeli military said, of the terror group attacking on Yom Kippur.

Yom Kippur: After the tragedy of October 7th, the Day of Atonement more than ever must be a time of responsibility, self-examination, and the search for national unity.

The book of Jonah is read in synagogues on Yom Kippur.

Instead of all this Olympic-level prostrating, Jews should be standing up for their people and the nation-state created in their name.

Perhaps the fragile truce between religious and secular Israelis cannot hold any longer.

One day on the Jewish calendar is dedicated entirely to cleansing the soul and peeling off the unnecessary layers we have accumulated.

What the people of Israel need more than anything else is true reconciliation within the nation.
