  • The other Women of the Wall
    By DEENA NATAF

  • Shavuot – Torah, gratitude, humility
    By SHMUEL RABINOWITZ
    Fruits [Illustrative]
    Also called the Day of Bikkurim, first fruits, because when the Temple was in J'lem, nation would bring fruits to J'lem from Shavuot on.
  • Senior UN official: ‘Settlers are whacked out’
    By MAGNUS FRANK AND EMILY SCHRADER
    Celebrating Abbas
    The UN has a long history of officials with biased opinions in “impartial” positions, such as Richard Falk.
EDITOR'S PICKS
It is bitterly ironic that the finance minister, Yair Lapid, who rode to 19 mandates on the back of his promises to the middle class, will take the wrecking ball to the last vestiges of state assistance... to the middle class.
HILIK BAR
