By David E. Kaplan
Clash of Wills. While a nervous world watches, high-stakes fencing with the future of mankind in the balance.

The Judicious Eight. The eight Jewish US Supreme Court Justices, from Louis Brandeis to Elana Kagan.
As Katanji Brown Jackson sat through several days of grueling questions before the Senate Judiciary Committee with the issue of race hovering over her confirmation, the writer unpacks the antisemitic prejudice that confronted the path of some of the Jewish judges to the US Supreme Court.

By Fionn Grunspan
Hebron's Holiest. Resting place of biblical figures, the Tomb of the Patriarchs is today also a place of unrest.
