Fighting the Good Fight Against the Bad Global Right We mull over an analysis by the Israeli left’s most universally-respected leader – Dov Khenin – about how to fight the global right (and Israel’s). Not Our Holocaust Day We ask why Ultra-Orthodox Israelis ignore, and sometimes mock, Holocaust and Heroism Remembrance Day.   Music Tamar & Netanel, off their album Peace of Mind: NiggunThe SunOnce, Early in the MorningFarewell Song
