Is Israel Better Off For The Presence Of 120,000 Ethiopians?

I enjoy author Mark Helprin (Dennis Prager’s radio producer Allen Estrin says Helprin is America’s greatest living novelist), but he keeps saying so many stupid things in such a histrionic manner that I regretfully conclude that while he should be … Continue reading
Why Is Israel So Strewn With Trash?
One thing that shocked me about Israel was the rampant trash. What’s behind that? Is such trash strewing common in the Middle East? Are certain group more liable to leave trash? There’s little trash in Pico-Robertson and Hancock Park and … Continue reading
Haredim Defeat Modern Orthodox In Israel’s Chief Rabbi Elections
Professor Marc Shapiro responded to my inquiry: “The election of Rabbi David Lau is a bad joke. He is only 46 or 47 years old, and is not regarded as a great talmid chacham. So the Ashkenazi chief rabbi is … Continue reading
