Jews and Guns

The latest Sh’ma has hit the newsstands and is also available in a wonderful new digital formal. All ’bout Jews and Guns. David Myers has a piece about what happened to tohar haneshek (purity of arms); Mindy Finkelstein has a piece about the aftermath of the North Valley JCC shooting in 1999; Yossi Melman writes about Israel’s arms trade; and I penned a piece about Israel, guns, the American Jewish community, and masculinity. And that’s not all!

Check it out. It’s all here.

"I may attack a certain point of view which I consider false, but I will never attack a person who preaches it. I have always a high regard for the individual who is honest and moral, even when I am not in agreement with him. Such a relation is in accord with the concept of kavod habriyot, for beloved is man for he is created in the image of God." —Rav Joseph Soloveitchik
