Weekly Roundup - 5/15/23

This week: From our Rest issue, Nathan Salsburg evokes a Shabbat for all creation by setting excerpts from Perek Shirah, a mystical Jewish text, to music.

From the newsletter, senior reporter Alex Kane explores the implications of Palestinian hunger striker Khader Adnan’s death in Israeli custody. And editor-in-chief Arielle Angel responds to attempts to cancel Rep. Rashida Tlaib’s Nakba Day event, asking what it would mean for Jews to approach the Nakba with empathy.

In a new episode of our podcast On The Nose, Alex Kane marks the anniversary of Palestinian journalist Shireen Abu Akleh’s killing by discussing her life and death—and the broader context of Israeli assaults on press freedom—with Sherif Mansour from the Committee to Protect Journalists and Jennifer Zacharia, Abu Akleh’s first cousin.
