"Perhaps, this year as we dip our karpas into salty water, we can jointly find a way to share our love and reverence for the land instead of sharing tears."
My latest blog, "Passover and Peace," centers around a short piece I wrote for a Peace Haggadah in 2024 & is in the 2025 edition. The piece is called "Land, Tears, and Renewal: Reflecting on the Symbolism of Karpas in the Israeli-Palestinian Context."

Compared to Hungary, Turkey, Venezuela, Poland, Trump is moving MUCH faster, more aggressively, and with broader claim to power. We're not in danger of becoming those autocracies--we're very quickly surpassing them. www.nytimes.com/2025/03/20/w...
‘This Is Worse’: Trump’s Judicial Defiance Veers Beyond the Autocrat Playbook (Gift Article)

Difficult to escape the conclusion that Musk bought access to the full scope of the federal government - and control over a significant portion of it - for the absolute rock-bottom price of $280 million.
Breaking News: The Pentagon is set to brief Elon Musk on the U.S. military’s closely guarded plan for any potential war with China, officials said.
Musk Set to Get Access to Top-Secret U.S. Plan for Potential War With China
Giving Elon Musk access to some of the nation’s most closely guarded military secrets is a major expansion of his role as an adviser to President Trump and highlights his conflicts of interest.
