Ask the Ethicist: Can I Read My Husband's Texts?

Question: Is it ethical to read my husband’s texts? I don’t have reason to think he’s cheating, but I’m the nervous type.If you have no reason to suspect him, you in fact would be the one guilty of betraying trust if you read his texts.

A Sephardic Spin on Gefilte Fish

My great-great-grandparents, Fischel Weinstein and Myril Karnos, rented a section of the Dniester River, located in present-day Moldova, to grow fish, which they sold to the local community. The name “Fischel” has been passed down through generations, along with a traditional gefilte fish recipe from this region. To this day, I have yet to find anyone in Europe who prepares our family recipe for gefilte fish unless they have South American roots…Fish · Moldova Read Article

On the Omer and Orchids

I can’t keep most plants alive, but somehow my orchids thrive. Fragile yet resilient, they bloom when I least expect it. On one of the darkest days of the last year, I returned home shaken by the loss of eight Israeli soldiers in Gaza to find that an orchid I thought was long dead had flowered. During the shiva for my daughter’s closest friend, also killed in Gaza, another bloomed despite having shed its flowers only a month earlier. And on the …Gaza · Gaza Read Article

The Intoxicating Jewish History of Morocco's Favorite Spirit

It would be hard to tell the story of Moroccan Jewry without looking at mahia, the quintessential spirit that defined Jewish life in Morocco. Mahia has a fascinating history that begins with how it’s distilled. Using figs and dates infused with aniseed, this slightly sweet aromatic beverage is an ultimate symbol of Moroccan Jewish heritage. Traditionally distilled as an eau de vie by the Jewish community in the Mellah (the Jewish quarter of Moro…Morocco · Morocco Read Article

On the Road with Shekhinah

I dropped my husband off at the airport one early morning last week. He was heading to Israel to tend to his elderly parents. On our long drive to SFO, we talked about the news and all of the different directions from which we are feeling threat right now. Dread crept into our conversation.I always feel dread when approaching an airport farewell, especially when one of us is flying to a place that is technically a war zone. But I feel the dread …Israel · Israel Read Article
