Our Children, the Heroes of our Generation
What a time to be alive. Ballistic missiles flying from all directions, Iron Dome interceptions at a near-perfect rate, chayalim—our ovdei Hashem—protecting us with every move. We see You, Hashem. We see You like we’ve never seen You before. My words almost come up empty that I, Sara Katz, an Israeli citizen of just over a year, a wife and mother of two little ones, can be living in the times of Geulah. Hashem, our Father, our Protector… how are our children really doing?

Following World War II the American government and philanthropic foundations fundamentally remade American universities into sites for producing knowledge about the world as a collection of distinct nation-states. As neoliberal reforms took hold in the 1980s, visions of the world made popular within area studies and international studies found themselves challenged by ideas and educational policies that originated in business schools and international financial institutions.

Photographers and their images were critical to the making of Mozambique, first as a colony of Portugal and then as independent nation at war with apartheid in South Africa.

Time to Grow - Mishpacha
While driving along the highway in France last year on the way back to our wet English homeland, the occupants of our Toyota Previa (yes, we’re Jewish!) requested a quick stop at a service station. I was wandering about, eating my mother’s neatly packaged egg and pepper sandwiches and examining a homemade bee trap, when I noticed a small, brown potted plant thrown by the wayside. It looked sad and drooping, hardly inclined to survive, its leaves peeking out a mere inch from its pot.
