@HillelNeuer First, Hellel, I am a huge fan of yours. You are the Number One Truth Teller to the UN. However, I don't get the big bruh huh over this. ASL interpreters have been doing this for years. I'm sure those who are deaf appreciate having concerts signed.

@MeghanEMurphy For other things, sure, but not this. Dude is in the vibe. Don't hate on deaf folk.

BREAKING: Bella Hadid, Mark Ruffalo, and Cynthia Nixon have released a joint statement condemning the Islamic Republic for murdering some 20,000 unarmed Iranian civilians.

Can someone please explain to me why the massacre of Jews at Bondi Beach is being commemorated as an example of *Islamophobia* at the Manitoba Legislature?

Horrific carnage in Iran #freeIran https://t.co/hzOv3qTGCa

Today’s Free Iran demonstration in Toronto is *enormous* — yet there isn’t a single Canadian union present here, even though they show up to every other protest.

Canada’s labour movement is morally rotten.

"I have just been released. But let us not forget the French government arrested me for two days — instead of closing the embassy of the tеrrorist regime of mullahs."

Why do any democratic governments allow a tеrror regime office inside their countries?

A secular Jew asked me why I was converting to Judaism.

Why would a rational, educated woman choose to join an ancient people and embrace traditions that seem to belong to another age? Did I truly believe those traditions were still relevant?

My answer is simple: Judaism survived because of its traditions, not despite them.

What modernity often dismisses as outdated ritual is precisely what preserved Judaism when empires collapsed, borders shifted, and entire civilizations vanished. Judaism did not endure by accident. It endured because it anchored human life to meaning, discipline, and moral responsibility. Where others dissolved into myth or memory, Judaism remained a living system.

Long before these ideas became fashionable, Judaism introduced principles we now take for granted. It insisted that no human being stands above moral accountability. That power does not grant impunity. That compassion must extend beyond convenience, to the vulnerable, the weak, even to animals. That rest is not a luxury reserved for the privileged but a commandment binding all. And that time itself must be structured, sanctified, and directed.

Judaism brought order into human existence. It introduced a calendar, a rhythm, a weekly reset, a moral framework, and a sense of mission. It taught that freedom without discipline becomes chaos, and that meaning does not emerge spontaneously. Meaning must be cultivated, practiced, and renewed.

Is this irrelevant in the 21st century?

People still lie to escape responsibility. They still seek shortcuts in moments of pressure. They are still cruel to others and to themselves. And they still need to be reminded that life is not arbitrary, that human beings are accountable to something higher than appetite, ego, or ideology.

Judaism insists that above us is a source, a Creator, from which both our unity and our diversity emerge. Humanity may number billions today, but the Torah begins with one. With origins. With Bereshit. Because to understand where we are going, we must understand where we come from.

The Torah does not offer abstract philosophy detached from lived reality. It tells stories, human, flawed, and timeless stories, that illuminate the world as it is, not as we wish it to be. It speaks of jealousy, power, failure, responsibility, repentance, and moral struggle. That is precisely why those stories endure. They are not frozen in time. They speak to every generation anew.

Judaism, then, is not a relic. It is a system of moral memory. It is a civilizational framework that trains human beings to pause, reflect, restrain themselves, and choose responsibility over impulse. In an age obsessed with speed, gratification, and self-expression, Judaism insists on restraint, reflection, and continuity.

That is why the question of relevance misses the point.

If Judaism were merely symbolic, merely cultural, merely metaphorical, it would not have survived. And if it were irrelevant, Zionism itself would be unintelligible. What is Zionism without Judaism, without the original story, the language, the laws, the calendar, and the covenant that bind a people to a specific land and history? Why should Israel exist precisely where it does if Judaism is nothing more than an abstract faith detached from place, memory, and obligation?

Strip Judaism of its traditions, and what remains is not enlightenment, but erosion. Without obligation, there is no continuity. Without practice, there is no identity. Without memory, there is no people.

For me, Judaism is not an abstraction. It is not a costume, nor nostalgia, nor a political statement. It is identity carried through time, through exile, through Babylon and beyond. It is woven into history, culture, memory, and continuity. Anyone who takes a DNA test in the Middle East understands this instinctively. The connection is not theoretical. It is embodied.

That is why tradition in Judaism is not only relevant today.

It is indispensable.
