- Israel at a Crossroads: A State for Jews or a Jewish State?

- Description
- The massive protests paralyzing Israel for months now are no longer just about judicial reform, or Benjamin Netanyahu's government, or Israeli politics. What they represent, as most Israelis now realize, is the continuation of an argument that had rocked Zionism from its very moment of inception, a debate about Israel's very essence: Should it be a Jewish state or simply a state for Jews?
This event is presented by Tablet Magazine and moderated by Liel Leibovitz, editor of Zionism: The Tablet Guide. Panelists include Aaron David Miller, senior fellow at the Carnegie Endowment for International Peace, Michael Doran, director of the Hudson Institute's Center for Peace and Security in the Middle East; Gadi Taub, historian and author; and Anat Naschitz, founder and CEO of 9xchange, previously co-founder of OrbiMed Israel.

- Radioactive: The Father Coughlin Story

- Description
- Before CNN and Fox News, before shock jocks and powerful pundits, there was Father Charles Coughlin, an ambitious priest who invented political talk radio as we know it, brought down one president and crowned another, and was himself at one point considered the most powerful man in America. He was also a rabid anti-Semite who wrote fan mail to Mussolini and cheered on Hitler, and who used his enormous platform to rail against the cunning international bankers who robbed decent, Christian Americans of their hard-earned dollars.
This limited-run podcast, hosted by Detroit journalist Andrew Lapin and produced by Tablet Studios, weaves together archival materials and dramatic recreations as well as interviews with radio hosts, historians, and others to tell the story of Father Coughlin's rise from humble beginnings in a sleepy Canadian town to the pinnacle of influence, a cautionary tale, very much still relevant today, of how an unscrupulous bigot can manipulate mass m...

Preheat the oven to 375 degrees
Mix the cake meal, the baking soda, and the salt.
Beat the butter, the granulated sugar and the brown sugar, and the vanilla extract in a mixing bowl (or stand mixer?) until creamy.
Add the eggs, one at a time, beating well after each addition. Gradually beat in the cake meal mixture, and then stir in the chocolate. I like to add really good high quality chocolate so I might just break it up or use chips.
Drop by rounded tablespoons onto parchment paper-lined cookie sheet.
Bake for 9 to 11 minutes or until brown. Cool on the baking sheets for 2 minutes.
