They strangled us, says founder of Russian newspaper shut under pressure from authorities
At the editorial offices of Novaya Gazeta, they are packing up and shutting down. Everywhere I look there are cardboard boxes and plastic bags. Everything must go. For thirty years this has been Russia's most prominent independent newspaper, featuring investigative journalism fiercely critical of those in power. Now Novaya Gazeta is being evicted from its home of three decades. The paper also says it's been blocked from receiving donations. It's accusing the Russian authorities of killing it off.
Prominent Russian newspaper shuts down under pressure from authorities
For the last three decades, Novaya Gazeta has been one of the most high-profile independent news outlets in Russia. Now it's shutting down - and it has accused the Russian authorities of the "murder" of a newspaper. "They've killed us," reads a statement on the Novaya Gazeta website. "The newspaper is no more. The Russian authorities and Russian special services have forced the paper to stop its work." Novaya Gazeta has received an eviction order.

Zionism Is Not Optional for Reform Rabbis
Recent arguments opposing a Zionist requirement for rabbinic ordination at Hebrew Union College–Jewish Institute of Religion (HUC-JIR) miss a fundamental distinction: Zionism is not merely one opinion among many within Judaism. It is the national liberation movement of the Jewish people and an essential component of contemporary Jewish identity. Some have compared requiring rabbinical students to embrace Zionism with HUC-JIR’s former policy requiring students to marry Jews.
The Business of Fighting Antisemitism - Why the Organized Jewish Community Must Change

Pierre/The Algemeiner One of the hardest questions any organization should be willing to ask itself is this: What would happen if we actually solved the problem we were created to address? Most organizations never ask that question because the answer can be uncomfortable. Imagine a hospital that quietly depended on people staying sick.
Hallmarks and correlates of effective adoptive cell immunotherapy for cancer
Abstract Cancer immunotherapies have shown promise and success in a number of different types of tumours, yet many solid epithelial tumours remain recalcitrant. Somatic mutations in tumour cells can lead to the expression of neoantigens, which are potent targets of the human antitumour immune response.

Israel Behind the News
What happens when a person is subject to the cruelest behavior man can commit – such as torture, starvation, psychological warfare and lack of medical care? In the hours following the October 7, 2023 Hamas attack on Israel, it became clear that the Palestinian terror organization – which has ruled Gaza as a militant theocracy since 2006 – was determined to inflict as much pain on the more than 200 Israelis it had kidnapped earlier in the day.
STEVEN ROSENBERG: Resilient finance for a changing world Original
Resilient finance is not only about withstanding global risks, but also investing in solutions that help economies and communities thrive as the climate, economy and geopolitics shift. For emerging economies, resilient finance can catalyse the development of climate-resilient infrastructure.
Jewish Peoplehood Is a Mirage - But We Can Change That
“Peoplehood” is the term du jour in the Jewish world, appearing in sermons, mission statements, and grant proposals. It’s supposed to capture something both ancient and modern — the shared bond that unites Jews everywhere, regardless of denomination, practice, or geography. It’s the idea that even in disagreement, there is a deeper connective tissue — a sense of belonging to a people, not just a religion. It sounds nice, and maybe it even feels good to say.

Due to danger, LA firefighters let pallets of hand sanitizer burn themselves out
A fire involving a shed and pallets of hand sanitizer that began shortly after 8:30 p.m. Thursday continues to burn Friday morning because it’s too dangerous to put out. The blaze that erupted on the 5400 block of South Avalon Boulevard in the South Park area of Los Angeles “is being allowed to burn off in a controlled manner due to the high alcohol content of the hand sanitizer,” the LA Fire Department reported.
How to help victims of the Texas floods from afar
Fast-rising floods in Central Texas have killed at least 115 people, and more than 160 remain missing after a slow-moving storm dropped 12 inches of rain in the early morning hours of Friday, July 4.

In Scripps National Spelling Bee, here’s how LA, OC, Riverside and San Bernardino county students fared
Share When the Scripps National Spelling Bee began on Tuesday with 243 young hopefuls vying for the top spot, and six students from LA Orange , San Bernardino and Riverside counties among them, only one local contestant remained by Wednesday evening after 10 grueling rounds. By the end of Round 10, the nationwide field had been ground down to nine, and among them was Oliver Halkett, 13, of the Merman School in Brentwood, who correctly spelled “gobbe” to stay in the competition.

Award-winning LAUSD principal - and a wrangler of snakes
Successful high school principals know that motivating students, teachers and staff is the key to academic achievement. But what do you do about snakes? When you are Grant High School’s Rebecca McMurrin - recently named principal of the year by Magnet Schools of America - you wrangle that snake. That was the situation about 12:15 p.m. Tuesday at the Valley Glen campus after a student came into the office and reported seeing a snake.
We Must Give Our Jewish Youth Hope, Not Despair
Walk into any Chabad on campus, scroll through Instagram, or attend a panel on “Jewish identity in 2025,” and you’ll feel it: exhaustion. The faces are younger, but the weight they carry is old — heavier than it should be for college students trying to find meaning, connection, and joy in their heritage. Antisemitism is surging, yes. The headlines are overwhelming. The betrayal of supposed allies stings.

Turkey’s Potential Role as Israel’s Biggest Nemesis: A Dangerous Shift in Middle Eastern Dynamics In the ever-shifting landscape of the Middle East, one thing remains constant: Israel’s need for security in the face of formidable regional adversaries.

A REPORTER’S NOTEBOOK: A time for war and a time for peace?
SUNDAY, JAN. 19, AND IT’S early morning in Tel Aviv. I’m walking on Sha’ul Hamelech Street, a wide four-lane road where buses, motorcycles and cars fly by all day along. On the sidewalk, I share space with joggers, bicyclists and Vespa drivers delivering fast food. Like so much of this city, it was once marsh. Over 150 years ago, more than 1,000 eucalyptus trees were planted in an effort to dry the land. Back then, it was known as Sarona, and settled as a German Templer colony.

The Blogs: When IHRA Isn't Enough
The announcement that Harvard University has agreed to implement the International Holocaust Remembrance Alliance (IHRA) working definition of antisemitism, along with other measures, in response to two Title VI lawsuits may appear at first glance to be a landmark victory against campus antisemitism. However, to characterize this development as a true “settlement” is not only misleading but risks obfuscating the deeper systemic issues.

For over 15 months, Israel has fought with unparalleled resolve and determination to destroy Hamas, ensuring that the horrors of October 7, 2023—when over 1,400 Israelis were slaughtered, and nearly 100 civilians taken hostage—never happen again. Yet today, Israel faces what may be the most agonizing choice in its modern history: to bring some hostages home at the cost of a deal that could undermine its entire war effort and risk future tragedies.
