...many people actually take the goals of sharing and educating seriously. Since these are truly the only tenable reasons for having public religious displays, we owe it to ourselves to scrutinize our religious showpieces. Is a tree the best way to share Christmas with other students? Speaking as a Jew, I can tell you that the unimpressive candelabra that rests on a white tablecloth in Leverett House would not be my pick. Neither are "Mysterious Maccabees." But a Seder, the traditional Passover meal during which Jews retell the story of the exodus from Egypt, might be. A model Seder might...
HAVING A RELIGIOUS JEW ASSASSINATE MY Prime Minister was my worst nightmare. It's clear to me that although the holiness of the land of Israel has an important value, it certainly does not outweigh the importance of Jewish unity or of the Commandment that states "Thou shalt not kill."

For months, Rabin's Labor Party had complained that the opposition Likud, psychological compatriot of the extremists in its dislike of the peace plan, was fomenting an atmosphere of violence. Likud leader Benjamin Netanyahu condemned...
...have been part of the political landscape there since Israel seized the Sinai, West Bank and Gaza Strip during the Six-Day War in 1967. They have insisted that these lands must be retained as part of Israel's biblical birthright--by violence if necessary. And they consider any Jew who opposes them a traitor to the race...
