Here's the most widely misunderstood fact about religion in the United States.

Educated people are more likely to report weekly attendance at religious services than those with less education.

This is a highly replicable finding.

45% of Jews identify as liberal.
32% are moderate.
23% are conservative.

There are differences, though.

Reform and Reconstructionist Jews are the most left-leaning.

Orthodox are the most conservative.

We just heard the unfortunate news that Rabbi Menachem HaCohen z”l passed away today. He was a former Israeli Labor Party MK, the member of a family of scholars, most recently the Chief Rabbi of Romania, and a mensch. May his memory be for a blessing. https://t.co/NGas5g56qx

Since the festival of Hanukkah begins this evening, it’s worthwhile to listen to this very good treatment of the sources and history of Hanukkah. https://t.co/e7UE5MskNB #Hanukkah

If I’m not mistaken, I spot a copy of the Zohar on the top shelf.

Following the alleged assassination of Fuad Shukr, Israel must fully utilize its intelligence tools to anticipate future responses. If an all-out war breaks out, Israel would be better off initiating a preemptive strike. Read my latest on @IsraelHayomEng

May his memory be for a blessing. Shlomo Avineri z”l was a towering intellectual figure.

[Fania Oz-Salzberger 🇮🇱🕊️🟣 פניה עוז-זלצברגר @faniaoz]

My dear friend and teacher Professor Shlomo Avineri died today.
A renowned scholar of Marx, Hegel, early zionism and political thought. A leading light of the intellectual center-left in Israel. A bewitching speaker and a kind person. RIP, dear Shlomo. So sorry that you had to go during the current calamity.

For those who understand Hebrew, this is a fascinating interview with @shlomieldar about Hamas and an honest discussion about what he and many others got wrong.

במאי האחרון אירחתי לראשונה את שלומי ודיברנו על הרבה דברים ובעיקר על החיים שלו. הפרק הזה, שהקלטנו אתמול, היה הרבה יותר על עזה וחמאס מכל דבר אחר, ועסק בעיקר בתפיסת העולם (של שלומי ושלי) שהשתנתה בעקבות האירועים. מאחל לכם האזנה מעניינת. https://t.co/1z2TVCANsB
