We discuss whether we’re headed toward a third intifada, racism in our children’s schools, and why women shopping at sperm banks prefer soldiers’ sperm.

We discuss plans to create an “Israeli Republican Party,” a controversial new ambassadorial appointment, and the “charm offensive” of Israel’s settlers.

We discuss how we should punish stone-throwers, whether do-gooders have turned capitalism into a dirty word, and Natalie Portman’s directorial debut.

To mark the Days of Awe, we ponder the state of religion & irreligion, spirituality & superstition, creed & cult in the Jewish State.

To hell with what folks think about Israel!; the beginning of the end of the Rabbinate; why leftists spent this year mad, muttering, and morbidly depressed.

We discuss the viral video of an Israeli soldier grappling with a 12-year-old boy; the Left’s “first-rate leadership failure”; and getting kids to take high level math.

We discuss a new poll on peace and the occupation; whether Gabi Ashkenazi is our “Great White Hope”; and a new bill on land ownership for kibbutzim and moshavim.

Does it make sense to use the “A word” to describe Israel? Is a little politicization good for judicial appointments? Plus “The Way Home” – a road trip with a difference.

What can we learn from Israel’s unilateral withdrawal from Gaza? Is Israel trying to “Jew up” the diaspora? Is Israel shifting from a “Hebrew” to a “Jewish” state?
