The Holocaust is a critically important part of our history, but it has very little day-to-day impact on me. Am I part of the problem? Part of a society moving into the future without taking enough time to study the past?
I am lucky to be a Jewish lawyer in 2010. But Jews weren’t always welcome in the practice of law. Check out the Cardozo Society’s event this week, and add your thoughts in the comments.

Aish Connections announces summer trips to NYC for college students.
I want to eat ethically, but not kosherly. Is that okay? And if it’s okay, why do I feel so much guilt?
Don’t miss these stories on Eli Wiesel’s threatened lawsuit, anti-Semitism at UW, Jews for Jesus, Protests at Rahm Emmanuel’s son’s Bar Mitzvah, Jewish politicians, and arson at a German shul.
