Why Barack is Becoming Boring

Date: 11/23/2009

For the first time in his presidency Barack Obama has, according to a Gallup poll, fallen below a fifty percent approval rating. It's not hard to see why. No, it's not because he's spending too much money. There seem to be many Americans who want him to boost social programs. Less so is it because people perceive him as accomplishing little because if he pulls off health care reform that is a big ...

Date: 11/09/2009

Every once in a while a story comes along so jolting that it is scarcely believable. One such story was that which appeared in the New York Times of all places this past Sunday about how the Jews' Free School in London has been ordered to admit a child whose mother had a non-orthodox conversion after the child's parents sued. I will not here enter into the ongoing and bitter divide in England betw ...

Date: 11/02/2009

Here are three reasons to suspect that you're a fame-a-holic. One, your life is a disaster. Two, even when you come to terms with your mistakes and apologize to those you've hurt, you have a microphone clipped to your lapel. Three, you have turned your life over to your spiritual counselor, Rabbi Shmuley Boteach. Yesterday Jon Gosselin, erstwhile star of "Jon & Kate Plus 8" finally admitted he ...

Government Funding is the only Future for Jewish Day Schools

Date: 11/02/2009

The single greatest injustice facing American parents today is that they are financially forced to send their children to schools not of their choosing. If you want to understand the level of unfairness you need look no further than my home state of New Jersey. Saturday's Wall Street Journal reported that our state's Supreme Court has "taken control of the $11 billion Property Tax Relief Fund," fu ...

Kate Gosselin Interview with Natalie Morales: A New Side of Kate

Date: 11/03/2009

Last night in between watching my beloved Yankees try to win the World Series, I tuned into TLC's special "Kate: Her Story," in which Kate Gosselin, star of "Jon & Kate Plus 8," was interviewed by NBC's Natalie Morales.

Why Israel Should Reject American Economic Aid

Date: 10/26/2009

Over the weekend I read Startup Nation, the new book about why Israel has emerged as an unlikely global leader in high-tech. Even if its authors Dan Senor and Saul Singer were not my friends and, in the case of Saul, my editor at the post I would still say that it's the best advertisement for Israel to come out in recent memory. Foregoing the usual discussion of Israel as an embattled nation whom ...

Interview with Jon Gosselin this Sunday

Date: 10/28/2009

This Sunday I'm going to be conducting an intimate conversation with Jon Gosselin at the West Side Jewish Center in Manhattan. America has to start having serious conversations about fame.  Celebrity is undermining our culture; not only because so many people who attain it find that their lives have been severely disrupted, but more importantly the obsession with celebrity is pulling us ...
