In US Election to Be Won on Margins, Modern Orthodox Jews May Be Key Demographic
Subset represents rare group in American Judaism that doesn’t overwhelmingly vote for either party; residency in swing states could give it outsized influence come November.

Join Me in a Good, Old-Fashioned ‘March’
Those who join demonstrations today seem to be less a part of the mainstream than in years past. Further, unless an issue is one which an individual is greatly affected by, the amount of interest they might display can be next to nothing.
We remember the days when thousands of us would join together to
Words Cannot Express (You Don’t Say!)
Ah, the limits of language. We’re all familiar with the clichéd speeches that we’re forced to hear at notable life events: weddings, bar and bat mitzvah, births, and unfortunately, deaths. Politicians regale us with promises; athletes and other performers passionately recount their

Health clubs experience a surge in membership at the beginning of every New Year. A few weeks later, these same people who signed up so enthusiastically are nowhere to be found. Fad diet books make their authors wealthy, but few of the people who bought them so eagerly and zealously began their diets, will stick to them for long. Before the
Flattening the Curves
Hopefully this pandemic is wrapping up by this point, again, and I have to say: I think we all gained a lot from this whole experience. I know I gained like 20 pounds.
What happened?
For one thing, it turns out that anybody who ever said they were a social eater or
Simchat Specificity
Simchat Torah is a holiday celebrating the completion and renewal of the annual cycle of weekly Torah readings. The joyous holiday, however, is not merely about fulfilling reading requirements. It also signifies how much the Jewish People love having the Torah and dancing the hora.
