Costs are rising in Israel. It's close to impossible to buy a home. So it's no surprise that when they're asked what issues they care about in next month's election, Israelis rank the economy first.
But politicians aren't talking about it. Here's why not. timesofisrael.com/israelis-a…

In election after election, decade after decade, Benjamin Netanyahu has stayed in power by relying on centrist parties. Then those parties die, and he survives.
The same process looks like it's afoot now — but here's why this time, it might fail. timesofisrael.com/one-hit-wo…

I’m thrilled to share that I’ll soon be starting as news editor at the @TimesofIsrael.
I have long admired the stellar work of TOI’s incredible editorial staff. It’s the first publication I read in the morning and the last before I go to sleep. I can’t wait to join the team.

This is reporting at its best.
For months, @AndrewLapin has assiduously tracked federal investigations of campus antisemitism.
Now he has the authoritative story on Title VI investigations post-Oct. 7, & built a comprehensive database of them. Read on.

Everyone has been talking about TikTok's effect on the public opinion post Oct. 7, with allegations of antisemitism and a focus on the company's Chinese ownership. But two pro-Israel billionaires/philanthropists control a large stake in the company too.

I'm thrilled for you though I will miss you in the newsroom! Your body of work at JTA has been beyond impressive and I can't wait to see what you achieve next.
Some bittersweet and exciting news: As of this week, I've left the JTA newsroom for a new role at 70 Faces Media, JTA's parent company. I'm Director of Editorial Experiences, running our paid courses, live events and more!
