Tisha B'Av

Fools search always for yesterday.   —   Jewish saying

The Original 9/11
By Michael Freund

The events of Tisha B'Av set the stage for the blood-soaked travails of the Jewish people throughout the Diaspora, across the length and breadth of history. Had the Jewish people not gone into Exile, then every tragedy over the past two millennia, every pogrom, every massacre, every blood libel and concentration camp, might very well have been averted.

Tisha B'Av: Humility
before the law

By Rabbi Yonason Goldson

The recent court ruling removing the Creator from the Pledge of Allegiance shares a similar degree of chutzpah that led to the destruction of the Holy Temples in Jerusalem.


on media
How the Times wishes
history unfolded

By Robert Leiter

An article by John Kifner in the July 10 issue of The New York Times contains the single most alarming and mendacious statement yet to appear in media accounts of the recent warfare in Israel.
