Community In Abraham, a model for our divisive times
Whatever your feelings about the outcomes of the 2020 election, one thing is certain: We are a deeply divided country. We see these divisions even in our own families. Friendships have been destroyed, there have been online spats, and disagreements at family gatherings. Searching for answers, longing for comfort, we turn to our tradition. It’s…

The Schmooze Kamala Harris and Douglas Emhoff made history for interfaith families. All Jews should celebrate that
When Kamala Harris becomes Vice President in January, she’ll have the privilege and burden of representing many “firsts.” She’ll be the first female, first Black, and first South Asian person to serve in the position.

Culture At 92Y, a quiet coda to an “exhausting” election season
Half an hour before sunrise on Election Day, New York City’s 92nd Street Y opened its doors to voters. About 60 people had already gathered outside, presumably hoping to beat the crowds. “People are very excited and voting like their lives depend on it,” said Aristotle Rosario, 44, one of the poll workers stationed outside…

News It’s Election Day in the Goldene Medina: Here’s how we’re voting, praying, laughing
It’s Election Day in the Goldene Medina, the Golden Land dreamed of, embraced and railed against — often, simultaneously — by Jewish Americans.
