		<description><![CDATA[
Jeff Jacoby writes a great and insightful summary of The Triumph of Chanukah
excerpt
But Chanukah isn&#8217;t about political power. It isn&#8217;t about military victory. It isn&#8217;t even about freedom of worship, notwithstanding the fact that the revolt of the Maccabees marks the first time in history that a people rose up to fight religious persecution.
What Chanukah [...]]]></description>

I just found it to be a compelling observation.
The Modern Age is the Jewish Age, and the twentieth century, in particular is the Jewish Century.  Modernization is about everyone becoming urban, mobile, literate, articulate, intellectually intricate, physically fastidious, and occupationally flexible.  It is about learning how [...]]]></description>

“Despite their secularism, Jews may be the most religious ethnic group in the world. The problem is that their religion is rarely Judaism; rather it is every  ”ism” of the left. .. It is therefore usually as hard to shake a liberal Jew’s belief in the Left and in the Democratic Party as it is [...]]]></description>

Tefillin are also known as phylacteries and are ritual prayer objects. [...]]]></description>

Daniel Gordis writes in &#8220;Saving Israel &#8211; How the Jewish People Can Win a War That May Never End&#8221; that Israel faces two threats besides the obvious physical threats from the enemies that call for its annihilation.
