The Jewish Press and Jewschool this week offer two very different takes on the situation in Hebron. The Jewish Press article is by a 19-year-old American Jewish seminary student who went to spend the Sabbath with the holy city’s Jewish community. The Jewschool post is written by a young Jew who traveled to Hebron with a group of activists to show solidarity with the city’s Palestinian population.

With so much at stake for the Jewish people right now — war, rising antisemitism, a high-stakes U.S. presidential election — American Jews depend on the Forward's perspective, integrity and courage.
