Will peace deals be made? What else do you expect this new year?” Students should click here to submit opinions of fewer than 250 words before Jan. 2.

God’s Mercy and the Atari I Never Got

Heavy is the heart weighed down with memories of the one that got away, especially around Christmas. My heart was once so encumbered, not by a past flame but by the Atari 2600 home videogame console.It was early December 1981, and everyone I knew seemed to be playing “Space Invaders.” My elder sister, Brig, 12, younger brother, Jack, 8, and I, 10, had pestered our parents for it all year. We’d long heard nothing but such disheartening retorts as “Atari will rot your brain.”Copyright ©2023 Dow Jones & Company, Inc. All Rights Reserved. 87990cbe856818d5eddac44c7b1cdeb8

Nov. 23, 2023 12:15 pm ETJerusalemWhy do Jewish lives matter? Why do we suddenly care so much about Israel or Jewish survival? Is it merely from a nativist love of our own or a need to deny posthumous victories to Hitler? Is it only the Jew as eternal victim that we cherish? God forbid. “Never again” is never enough. What matters are not only Jewish lives, but the Jewish way of living.Copyright ©2023 Dow Jones & Company, Inc. All Rights Reserved. 87990cbe856818d5eddac44c7b1cdeb8
