In those days there was no king in Israel; every man did what was right in his own eyes.
בַּיָּמִים הָהֵם אֵין מֶלֶךְ בְּיִשְׂרָאֵל אִישׁ הַיָּשָׁר בְּעֵינָיו יַעֲשֶׂה
Ba-yamim ha-hem ein melekh be-Yisrael; ish ha-yashar be-einav ya’aseh.
The Book of Judges and the Crisis of Belonging
By Sara Lamm

Before I made aliyah to Israel, I spent nearly a decade as a teacher. During my graduate studies in education, one of my professors assigned a book called Far From the Tree by Andrew Solomon. The book explored the lives of people whose identities set them apart from their families and communities in significant ways — the apple, as the title suggests, falling far from the tree. After we finished reading, our professor had us walk around the room and respond to quotes printed on large sheets of paper hung around the walls. One of the quotes read something like: in my difference, I found the community I had been searching for all along. A beautiful idea, and a true one. Shared struggle has built some of the most powerful communities in human history. A fellow classmate wrote her reflection beneath the quote: "I wish I had that difference, so I could have a community too."

I have thought about that comment for years.

America is Losing the Bible. Here’s What We’re Doing About It.
America turns 250 in just a few weeks. On July 4th, the nation will celebrate a quarter-millennium of freedom, faith, and the founding ideals that shaped the greatest democratic experiment in history. But as the fireworks go up, a quieter crisis is unfolding, one the Founders never could have imagined. America is losing the Bible. And nobody is asking what the next 250 years look like without it.
Iran Fires on Israel on the 23rd of Sivan, the Hebrew Calendar Day When Haman’s Decrees Get Reversed
When Iran launched ten ballistic missiles at Israel Sunday night, retaliating for an Israeli strike on a Hezbollah command center in Beirut, the Islamic Republic’s parliament spokesman posted a threat on X: “Watch the sky of the occupied territories tonight.”
Turkey Wants Jerusalem. Israel Has a Biblical Answer.
When Turkey’s Interior Minister Mustafa Çiftçi declared last week that Jerusalem would one day return to Turkish sovereignty, “just as in the past,” he was speaking as a senior official of a NATO member state, at a ruling party conference, invoking the name of Allah and the example of his president, Recep Tayyip Erdoğan. The Ottoman Empire, he promised the crowd, is not finished with Jerusalem.
