Weekly Roundup - 08/02/24
This week: In the most recent installment of our chevruta column, which pairs Torah scholars and leftist thinkers to explore a question through Jewish text, contributing writer Raphael Magarik and political strategist Rania Batrice explore the question of voting in the shadow of genocide in Gaza.
Contributing writer Mitchell Abidor reviews Taffy Brodesser-Akner’s new novel, Long Island Compromise, arguing that it obsesses over American Jewishness but fails to find meaning in it.
In light of the killing of 12 children in Majdal Shams, we are also sharing Amos Barshad’s 2019 report about Israel’s manipulation of Druze identity.
