The following are a few of them.

eJewish Philanthropy
Zohran Mamdani, a democratic socialist, is mayor of New York City, and America’s far left is surging. Tucker Carlson and America’s far right are gaining ground. The Israel-Hamas war has ended, for now, and American Jewry remains deeply fractured. There are many reasons to be discouraged, but none for resignation.
