  Jewish Festivals and...

  Jewish festivals hold deep spiritual, historical, and cultural significance, shaping the rhythm of Jewish life throughout the year. These celebrations serve as a connection between past and present, uniting Jewish communities across the world through shared rituals, prayers, and traditions. Each festival carries its own unique themes, but all emphasize the importance of faith, remembrance, and community. 
  The Jewish calendar follows a lunar system, which means festival dates shift each year in relation to the Gregorian calendar. Despite these variations, the observance of these holidays remains steadfast, passed down through generations as a way of preserving Jewish identity and values. Many festivals commemorate pivotal moments in Jewish history, such as the Exodus from Egypt, the rededication of the Holy Temple, and the giving of the Torah at Mount Sinai. Others focus on agricultural cycles, linking modern Jewish life to ancient traditions of gratitude and sustenance. 
  At the heart of every Jewish festival lies a deeper meaning beyond the rituals. Festivals often revolve around themes of renewal, redemption, and divine connection. For example, Rosh Hashanah, the Jewish New Year, is a time of introspection and new beginnings, while Yom Kippur calls for atonement and spiritual purification. Passover celebrates the liberation of the Israelites from slavery, reinforcing the value of freedom and justice. Hanukkah, though a minor festival in religious significance, highlights resilience and faith through the story of the Maccabees.

  Why War?

  Why has war been such a consistent presence throughout the human past? A leading historian explains, drawing on rich examples and keen insight. 
   
   
   
  Richard Overy is not the first scholar to take up the title question. In 1931, at the request of the League of Nations, Albert Einstein asked Sigmund Freud to collaborate on a short work examining whether there was "a way of delivering mankind from the menace of war." Published the next year as a pamphlet entitled Why War?, it conveyed Freud's conclusion that the "death drive" made any deliverance impossible—the psychological impulse to destruction was universal in the animal kingdom. The global wars of the later 1930s and 1940s seemed ample evidence of the dismal conclusion. 
   
   
   
  A preeminent historian of those wars, Overy brings vast knowledge to the title question and years of experience unraveling the knotted motivations of war. His approach is to separate the major drivers and motivations, and consider the ways each has contributed to organized conflict. They range from the impulses embedded in human biology and psychology, to the incentives to conflict developed through cultural evolution, to competition for resources. The discussions show remarkable range, delving deep into the Neolithic past, through the twentieth-century world wars, and up to the current conflict in Ukraine.

  A wide-ranging and incisive collection of interviews with Noam Chomsky, addressing the urgent questions of this tumultuous moment. 
   
   
   
  In these informative interviews, conducted for Truthout by C. J. Polychroniou, Noam Chomsky addresses the rapid deterioration of democracy in the United States and rising tensions globally. He examines the crumbling social fabric and fractures of the Biden era, including the halting steps toward a Green New Deal; the illegitimate authority of the Supreme Court, in particular its decision to overturn Roe vs. Wade; and the ongoing fallout from COVID-19. Chomsky also untangles the roots of the War in Ukraine, the diplomatic tensions among the United States, China, and Russia, and considers the need for climate action on an international scale. 
   
   
   
  Throughout, Chomsky "remains . . . a beacon of hope in the darkest of times" (Sarah Jaffe).
