Do Men Belong in the Women's Movement? February 13, 2012. When Dan Wald, 24, began his matriculation at Ithaca College, he wasn’t thinking much about women’s issues. But then the biochemistry major from greater Boston began to hear stories about sexual assault from friends and something clicked.

Communications for Smaller Nonprofits in the Era of Twitter. Over the last few years, the world of communications has simultaneously become both more accessible and less manageable. With the explosion of social media came the democratization of communications – one Tweet can reach more people than a press release, and a Facebook post can receive just as much attention as coverage in traditional media. Just because something is on the web, doesn’t mean that the right people will necessarily see it&#...

Celebrating Shabbat in Tel Aviv the Reform Way. Last Friday night, I celebrated Kabbalat Shabbat in Tel Aviv, but not in my usual manner. Usually, as the city winds down and people sit out in cafes with a glass of wine or coffee to watch the sunset, I join them. This time, I started my evening at Beit Daniel. There were bar mitzvot boys celebrating their special day with their grandparents around them, young kids running in and out, and one youngster who went on the.

In But Not of Israel. Ldquo;I felt I was in a dream due to the hospitality of the gallery,” she told me. “In all this chaos we are living in, you can do it differently,” she told Said Abu-Shakra, a respected artist and the gallery’s co-founder. Bar-Shalom reached across the table to Abu-Shakra. “I love you,” she said. You might think Umm El-Fahm would be happy to be gerrymandered into the new Palestine. But nothing could be further from the truth. Perhaps the deepest of Umm El-Fahm’s comple...Umm El-Fahm...

Zionism and Its Discontents. Parting Ways: Jewishness and the Critique of Zionism. Columbia University Press, 256 pages, $27. Judith Butler is not anti-Semitic. I agree with her on that point, which she makes on her publisher’s website. Her new book, “Parting Ways,” represents her attempt to set the record straight regarding her controversial views on Zionism. But the writing in these essays is simply cumbersome and frustrating. For example, she makes arguments about Jewish identity by employing obsc...

Transforming Donor Culture in Israel. The days are long past when organizations in Israel can simply come to America with their hands out asking for funds from donors. As one prominent grant maker recently remarked to me, “Israel is no longer a scarcity society. Problems are often a result of government decisions, not lack of funds.”. This calls for a massive change of thinking among Israeli non-profits. Furthermore, it means that Israeli philanthropists need to step up. This is a healthy occurrence, off...

A new country: a view from the Left. This election was a failure for the sitting Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu and his young guard in the Likud, especially Education Minister Gideon Saar and Environment Minister Gilad Erdan, both of whom took leading roles in the campaign. It was an astounding success for former journalist Yair Lapid and his centrist Yesh Atid party, and a resounding comeback for the Zionist-left, especially the Meretz Party. Originally appeared in Fathom on January 31, 2013.
