He isn’t the first candidate to question an election result; Hillary Clinton still thinks Vladimir Putin defeated her in 2016. But he was wrong to give his supporters false hope that Congress and Mr. Pence could overturn the electoral vote.

…as ugly as it is, the rest of America must face the truth — and call out, face down and defeat this infection of lies in one of our two major parties. Otherwise, we risk losing our democracy’s ability function and address the many very serious problems that challenge our nation.

Despite numerous investigations that have found no evidence to support Trump’s attacks, 62 percent of Republicans say there is solid evidence of widespread fraud and 58 percent believe President Biden was not legitimately elected…

…it’s not a fresh hell at all… In addition to not being particularly fresh, it’s not much of a hell at all, comparatively. Israel’s first flu-COVID case, the story that triggered this latest wave of reporting, was mild even though the patient was unvaccinated and pregnant.

While many countries track coronavirus and flu cases, there appears to be little data on how many people have them at the same time. As more reports surface about co-infections, health experts and doctors stress that coronavirus and flu vaccines remain the best way to protect against severe infections.

Immunocompromised people are vulnerable to these infections, but co-infections are more likely to occur in young children, experts say, because their immune system is still unfamiliar with many common viruses.

Perhaps the statement was reflective of a callous indifference to Jewish people’s safety. Or perhaps Ms. Watson is trying to send a much more complicated and desperately needed message to the pro-Palestinian movement about what real solidarity actually means: rejecting the lies and violence of Hamas in favor of better alternatives.

…we also should not confuse real threats against Jews and a Hollywood actor’s poor social media choices. Antisemitism is a real threat that requires real action to confront it. Don’t confuse the two.

Sometimes, it’s the fashionable and beautiful people following hateful woke trends that demonize the real, living Jewish people that we should be worried about.

Whatever he may have told himself and others about what took place during his latest session with Abbas, it certainly wasn’t “confidence building.”

For Abbas, therefore, the Gantz meeting served a purpose in giving the world what it wanted to see. He also surely realized that while the Gantz meeting would grab headlines, a speech in which he slammed Israel a couple of days later on New Year’s Eve wouldn’t garner much international attention.

In the absence of a peace process, Israel must maintain its communication channels with the Palestinians. Even if the opposition protests and the coalition’s right flank click their tongue in disapproval. Gantz did the right thing, even if it was the unpopular thing to do.

If you’re going to do a detox this month, let it be a cleanse of your social media feeds. That influencer who posts “What I Eat in a Day” videos that always make you feel bad? Gone. The lifestyle brand publishing problematic articles like “13 Moves That Target Your [Insert Derisive Name for a Body Part You Didn’t Know You Needed to Be Ashamed Of]”? Unfollowed.

If the chances of long-term weight loss (and the supposed benefits and pleasures that conveys) are vanishingly small, then why do we keep doing it? I suspect the answer is not only habit and a false sense of obligation but also the lure of aspiration: a dieter’s perpetual sense of getting somewhere, getting smaller and thus becoming more acceptable, more reasonable, as a body.

When you’re not honoring your hunger, Habtemariam says your body can overcorrect. “It causes us to be preoccupied with food and think about food all day long.”

I often feel like I’m the owner of a gold mine, my pockets overflowing with priceless nuggets of Jewish wisdom. It has taken many years to accumulate this motherlode, a process that began when I summoned the nerve to commit to a Torah-based life.

In the Talmudic imagination, these two Babylonian rabbis of the fourth century (Abbaye died ca. 339, Rava ca. 351) have long captured the essence of religious learning throughout the ages. Ostensibly, this is because of their frequent invocation within the Talmudic text.

You might have thought, based on the plethora of Orthodox scientists and doctors, that the conflict between Judaism and science had been resolved decades ago and is no longer a source of controversy. I thought so, but I learned how wrong I was. Over the past decade, the controversy arose again from opposite corners.
