the definite article 72

science, antisemitism, and a sweet essay at the end

My dear TDA friends: I have been consumed with family affairs these past few weeks and I’ve not been able to attend to this feature. I have compiled a list of worthy links though, and I shan’t withhold them form you, even without introductions. My apologies. I ask for your trust and rely upon your sense of adventure to actually click these links, knowing that it could only be for your own good. Enjoy.

Just an addendum: recent articles by Shari Oz (Israeli Diaries), David Josef Volodzko (The Radicalist), and Rod Dreher (Rod Dreher’s Diary) are worthy of your attention.
