The Pope is not the Only Cleric to Watch: Pay Attention to the Rabbinate, for it is the Heart of Israel's Existence SHARE 
While Rome is going to be the center of attention for the upcoming Conclave that will seat a new pope following the resignation of Pope Benedict XVI, In June, Israelis will elect a new Ashkenazi chief rabbi. Just as Catholics look to The Pope for religious and spiritual direction and moral clarity in an ever evolving world, Jews in Israel and some around the world rely on Israel's chief rabbi to also offer direction and clarity, but they are also too often disappointed.
For the past ten years now, the Ashkenazi chief rabbi has been Rabbi Yona Metzger, who has held firm against the modern Orthodox and the non-Orthodox Jewish streams. That alone is fracturing the country as resentment grows over laws and rules no one but the religious right can live with comfortably.

Should Israel be American Jewry's football team? SHARE
American Zionists must understand that their actions in trying to shift the tide of internal policies within the country does more than serve an esoteric longing for a mighty Jewish nation, it radically impacts the lives of the actual people living there every day.
Likewise, Israelis must appreciate that their neighborhoods, backyards, streets, sands and air are parts of the fundamentals of Jewish hope, continuity and strength. One cannot exist without the other, although just one bears the brunt of the consequences.
The Diaspora has always been around, and will remain. Those who make their homes in Israel do not bask in that luxury. As we continue our collective struggle for lasting peace and a harmonious Israel, American Jews will remain strong fans of Israel, but it is nothing like a football team, for they will always be actively involved. More like a fantasy baseball team...

Israel's Legal Case for Stopping Iran SHARE
In a world where nuclear weapons could soon be in the hands of a rogue nation like Iran, an Israeli preemptive strike on Iran's nuclear facilities would be fully justified. Despite its ban on aggressive war, Article 51 of the United Nations Charter clearly recognizes a state's inherent right of self-defense against another state. Thus, Israel has full authority to act unilaterally or collectively in its self-defense.

"Where's Mohammed? Not in the Washington Post or the Denver Post. Shameful" by Michael D. Brown SHARE
For those of you not familiar with a recent art controversy in Colorado, a museum in Loveland exhibited a lithograph containing a picture of Jesus imposed on a female body with a man performing oral sex on the same figure. People were outraged claiming a double standard. Many were arguing the lithograph was pornographic. Some were claiming it was anti-Christian.

Yori Yanover, Angel Food Ministries SHARE
Our old friend Juda Engelmayer has been known on the Lower East Side as a PR person and, on occasion, a political adviser. But a few years ago his life changed. One of his clients recommended him, yarmulke, NY accent and all, to become a spokesman for Angel Food, a Christian ministry that functions as a large food cooperative operating in 44 states and more than 6000 communities. He spoke to us over the phone from Monroe, GA.

What it Takes to Be Special in This Town SHARE
NYC has truly become the land with a great divide. We know about the real estate boom and how it is creating a city for the rich, leaving the poor poorer and hungrier. The job market is becoming either ever more professional for the suits, or unskilled owned primarily by the immigrants and illegals living in the Bronx or Brooklyn, as more actual Americans act as if some jobs are somehow beneath them, no matter what e

Jewish Support For Kosovars Sought SHARE
Amid signs that Bush may be backing away from unequivocal support for independence for Kosovo, the head of the Albanian American Civic League is appealing to Jewish community to advocate for Kosovo, a region of the former Yugoslavia that is predominantly inhabited by ethnic Albanians. The appeal is based on a history of Albanian support for Jews under Nazism, and Jewish support for Albanians during Milosevic's genocidal war.

We Need a United United Nations SHARE
The United Nations has failed to live up to the expectations of FDR and anyone seeking peace, but has been a successful experiment for the evil and greedy leaders of the world. It's time to call it for what it is and begin anew, hopefully for the better this time.

Is God Mad at the Republican Party? SHARE
One Evangelist's opinion on how God abandoned the Republicans because of self righteousness, arrogance, corruption and a lack of moral values or respect for fellow human beings. Overly religious tone, but an ironic read all the same.
