“Put simply, to reduce my Jewish identity to fighting antisemitism is a victory I refuse to grant my foe. It was great to be a Jew on October 6, and it is still great to be a Jew today. Not just the push, and not just the pull, but the centripetal momentum of the two together—that is the generative force by which our community will be maintained.”

“We must take our part in the curricular and cultural battles in our institutions of higher learning, and we must take Jewish learning to higher levels. We must celebrate our births, bnei mitzvah, and weddings, reminding one another, our children, and most of all ourselves of who we are. Jews must take agency—and joy—in their Judaism.”

“Mordecai advises Esther to keep her Jewishness secret when she enters the king’s palace. Why she must do so he never states, but Esther understands that her life will be easier or safer (or both) if she hides her identity. Was it easy or hard for Esther to keep her secret? Did she comply under duress or in hope of advancement? The text never really says.”
