  • Worthless Is Worth More

    Worthless Is Worth More3

    I have a confession to make: I have been pretty down in the dumps lately. Such a state is the opposite from the one I prefer to be in. I would rather be a Pollyanna—or perhaps a Pollyannie?—not in an annoying type of way, but in the sense of seeing life through a positive, hopeful lens.

    Dressing as if It Matters27

    While some Americans have trickled back to the office, a large percent are staying home, and with this new work-from-home reality, it seems we have forgotten how to get dressed in the morning.

    What Do Women Want? A Willingness to Protect1

    Vanishing American Jews and the Death of Meritocracy7

    Are Jews vanishing in American society? An interesting article published in Tablet Magazine titled “The Vanishing” argues as much. Its author, Jacob Savage, writes, “Suddenly, everywhere you look, the Jews are disappearing.” Of course, Jewish people haven’t actually gone anywhere.

    Can We Still Trust the Doctor?3

    When I was growing up, I learned to trust my doctor. My parents never said that explicitly; I could see it in their actions. I was in the hospital many times growing up, sometimes for very serious reasons. I have eight siblings, and I’m one of the elders, so I was there on the numerous
