Taking a 'trip' on Israel's port city's scenic new cable car
By David E. Kaplan
Visual Smorgasbord. Riding above forests and university campuses, the views of Haifa and beyond are beyond spectacular.
Essentially for commuters - notably students at Haifa University and the Technion - Haifa's new cable car transport system on the north side of Mount Carmel is attracting tourists both local and abroad. The writer took a ride and while enjoying the sights, it was the insights of places coming into view that unpacked the gems of yesterday that promise the sparkles of tomorrow.
Rapper Kanye West creates a social media storm with antisemitic outbursts
By Rolene Marks
Rapper's Revelation. A resurfaced 2018 Kanye West TMZ interview reveals the rapper's adoration for Adolf Hitler.
This rapper is now being rapped over the knuckles. Rightly so! After antisemitic remarks on Instagram and Twitter, Kanye West or "Ye" as he now prefers to be called is feeling the heat. Being a celebrity - argues the writer - should afford NO protection for vile online antisemitism.
An 'Open Letter" to Wellesley College President Dr. Paula A. Johnson
By alumnus Gina Raphael
School Souring. The writer hopes Wellesley will embrace Jewish learning and acceptance befitting school's motto.
With Wellesley having "fallen into the trap set by the BDS movement," the writer question's her alma mater's moto of Non Ministrari sed Ministrare - "not to be served, but to serve". A school proud to include as its alumna Hilary Clinton, Madeline Albright, Diane Sawyer, Nora Ephron, Katherine Lee Bates and astronaut Pamela Melroy, the writer fears for the future of America's premier university for women.
