Tuesday, November 13, Obituary on America. Thursday, November 8, Luther and No End. Wednesday, November 7, E pluribus unum? In the s America was the measure of all things in Germany. The States are deeply divided not only between Republicans and Democrats but between " the poor against the rich, the whites against blacks, the whites against Latinos, the ultra-religious against atheists, city residents against rural dwellers, Trump admirers against Trump despisers.

It is to be feared that the results of the election with a divided Congress will accelerate the transformation of E pluribus unum into E pluribus collidum.

In my opinion, the Democrats' win of the House is a Pyrrhic victory. Sunday, November 4, Tariffs Are the Greatest. On October 23, the Carl-Schurz-Haus invited to one of its successful luncheon talks.

Berdichevsky , also know as Ben-Gorion, was born in Podalia, to a long line of rabbis. In his teens, he read the Haskalah writers, and this conflict between modernism and tradition informed his entire literary career. It also caused deep disagreements with teachers and family members.

In Berlin, he solidified a philosophy of personal and intellectual freedom in the face of "stultifying" tradition. His writing attacked any already-established position, including the Haskalah and Zionism, and demanded an expansion of the Jewish literary canon.
