Jewish History & Text
Israel’s national anthem sounds like an elegy. That’s no accident
On faith in literature

The beginning of wisdom is neither the sum nor the end of it
The philosopher Bertrand Russell was famous for his paradoxes, but he left the greatest one to the rest of us
Jewish history saw the transition from the Covenant of Fate to the Covenant of Destiny, and back again
