Opinion: How a childrenâs book teaches us what we owe one another (opens the original)
Read excerpt
As my young daughter and I climbed onto her bed to read before bedtime, she handed me a new book and was excited to have me read it to her. I hadnât seen it before and honestly did not give it much thought. It was âThe Suitcase,â written and illustrated by Chris Naylor-Ballesteros, and it had arrived through PJ Library, a wonderful program that sends Jewish-related books to families with young children. The cover features a somewhat odd-looking little blue creature pulling a large suitcase
Opinion: What a night outside my comfort zone reminded me about Americans (opens the original)
Read excerpt
A friend recently invited me to a dinner and comedy show at a community space in the middle of Long Island. I rarely have the time to get out there from New York City, but last week I did, so I said yes. I knew that those at this event would be very different from those in my usual circles, and my friend made that very clear in his invitation. But I figured âwhy not?â and went to support him. When I arrived, it was almost immediately clear that he was absolutely right; those at the event wer
Opinion: My son found wonder in Yayoi Kusamaâs art (opens the original)
Read excerpt
When I told my son that Yayoi Kusama just passed away at 97, he was understandably upset. Her dots, colors and fantastic worlds have been part of our lives for years. I am a huge fan of her work. More importantly, so is my eight-year-old son. The two of us have gone out of our way to see Kusamaâs work whenever we could; we have seen it in galleries, botanical gardens and along waterfronts. We have searched for her larger-than-life pumpkins, dot-filled spaces and, of course, her famous Infinity
Opinion: Jimmy Buffett did more than just write music â he built a community (opens the original)
Read excerpt
To anyone who knows me, it is no secret that I am a Parrothead. That sentence would have surprised the younger me and occasionally still does in my middle age. I grew up liking Jimmy Buffettâs music, but I never really understood his fans. In my teens, they struck me as a little odd: the Hawaiian shirts and grass skirts, the frozen drinks, the beach balls, the endless search for Margaritaville and a missing salt shaker. The songs were fun and quirky, but I wasnât sure I wanted to be part of
Opinion: We should remember history as well as learn it (opens the original)
Read excerpt
My friend, the historian Niall Ferguson, recently posted something remarkable on social media. Reflecting on the resurgence of antisemitism, Holocaust denial and what he called the âanti-historyâ engulfing much of the world, Ferguson reached a painful conclusion. âThe goal of my entire career as an historian was to ensure that citizens learned the lessons of history. ⦠Yet today ⦠anti-history is spreading like a cancer. The Holocaust is either denied or derided. I have to admit: I fai
