Just as every Jewish couple gets married under a canopy open on all four sides - a replica of the tent modeled for us by Abraham and Sarah - so must Jewish communities keep our tents open. This is the true source of our longevity and resilience.
Quote by -Bari Weiss
Paris. Toulouse. Malmo. Copenhagen. Brussels. Berlin. For most people, they are lovely cities where you might happily take a holiday. But for the world's Jews, they are something else, too. They are place names of hate.
Quote by -Bari Weiss
While racists see themselves as proudly punching down, anti-Semites perceive themselves as punching up.
Quote by -Bari Weiss
For reasons historic, aesthetic, and political, we Jews are most attuned to the anti-Semitism of the far Right - and we find the most sympathy among our progressive allies when these are our attackers.
Quote by -Bari Weiss
Most women who go public with #MeToo stories are fearful for obvious reasons. There is the pain of reliving traumatic experiences. There is the rage of not being believed.
Quote by -Bari Weiss
Australia's defamation laws help explain why the #MeToo movement, while managing to take down some of the most powerful men in the entertainment and media industry in the United States, has not taken off there.
Quote by -Bari Weiss
I thought I would come to Australia and learn to surf. Instead, I learned to walk.
Quote by -Bari Weiss
Many older people I know are focused on the past. When they talk about the future, they are, quite understandably, preoccupied with the hassles and obstacles of their increasing age.
Quote by -Bari Weiss
Race walking is hard. Trying to do it while maintaining a conversation is much harder.
Quote by -Bari Weiss
Australians have more fun. They just do. I guess I should not be surprised by this fact given that this is the place that birthed both Hugh Jackman and Kylie Minogue.
Quote by -Bari Weiss
In the States, time with friends can feel a bit like those PETA videos of chickens on factory farms: slotted and squeezed into tight compartments.
Quote by -Bari Weiss
Part of the beauty of the way Australians hang out isn't just how relaxed it is, but the inclusive, rolling nature of how they socialize.
Quote by -Bari Weiss
In my experience, American office Christmas parties mean that everyone gets a thimbleful of lukewarm Champagne in a plastic cup.
Quote by -Bari Weiss
The conspiracy theory of the Jew as the hypnotic conspirator, the duplicitous manipulator, the sinister puppeteer is one with ancient roots and a bloody history.
Quote by -Bari Weiss
While there are perfectly legitimate criticisms that one can make of Israel or the actions of its government - and I have never been shy about making them - those criticisms cross the line into anti-Semitism when they ascribe evil, almost supernatural powers to Israel in a manner that replicates classic anti-Semitic slanders.
Quote by -Bari Weiss
Those who call themselves anti-Zionists usually insist they are not anti-Semites. But I struggle to see what else to call an ideology that seeks to eradicate only one state in the world - the one that happens to be the Jewish one - while empathetically insisting on the rights of self-determination for every other minority.
Quote by -Bari Weiss
One of the casualties of Israel becoming an increasingly partisan issue has been American Jews themselves, who vote overwhelmingly Democratic and who see Israel's rightward turn as betraying fundamental liberal values.
Quote by -Bari Weiss
Despite the fact that the vast majority of Israeli Jews are not Orthodox, the ultra-Orthodox hold the keys not just to Israel's Jewish sacred places, but to the life cycle events - conversions, weddings, divorces, burials - of the country's more than six million Jews.
Quote by -Bari Weiss
I'm not someone who from a young age imagined myself being a writer or had dreams of being a novelist or anything like that, but I was always very driven by ideas and by values, and that is the reason I got into journalism.
Quote by -Bari Weiss
I am used to being politically homeless, which I think is a very, very Jewish position.
Quote by -Bari Weiss
“Nothing ever comes to me, that is worth having, except as the result of hard work.”
Quote by -Booker T Washington
A morning-glory at my window satisfies me more than the metaphysics of books.
Quote by -Walt C Whitman
The voice of beauty speaks softly; it creeps only into the most fully awakened souls.
Quote by -Friedrich Nietzsche
“Closing your eyes isn’t going to change anything. Nothing’s going to disappear just because you can’t see what’s going on…. Keep your eyes wide open. Only a coward closes his eyes.”
Quote by -John Donne
Success or failure is caused more by mental attitude than by mental capacity.
