Delighted to share that my new article, “Anti-Zionism, Antisemitism, Antidiscrimination,” is now published. It examines how courts have approached anti-Zionism under Title VI and the broader questions these cases raise for hostile environment law. papers.ssrn.com/sol3/papers....

The Supreme Court has allowed lower courts to turn religious liberty into license on vaccinations. But Judge Wilkinson holds the line in CA4 — tells the Court it’s time to get serious. @zalmanr.bsky.social with the run down.

Opinion | What makes this appeals court decision on vaccines so noteworthy

Constitutional law on vaccines was long settled. Now, the Supreme Court favors religious exemptions.

My job market paper has finally been published! So grateful to so many for helpful conversations (@micahschwartzman.bsky.social @samuelmoyn.bsky.social @katieeyer.bsky.social @sherifgirgis.bsky.social @nelsontebbe.bsky.social @williambaude.bsky.social and others not on Bluesky) shorturl.at/cEnTS

.@zalmanr.bsky.social's The Right to Exit Religion argues Wisconsin v. Yoder implicitly recognized a right to exit religion that states/courts do not do enough to protect, leaving it superficial & hard to effectuate. He uses NYC’s Hasidic community to show state-aided barriers to exit.

I wrote a reflection on my friend Rabbi Eli Schlanger, murdered in Sydney a week ago. (Gift article, scroll down). www.nytimes.com/2025/12/21/b...

He was killed doing the work he’d dreamed of.

"The High Holidays are a call to temper our certainties, to confess our arrogance, and to recognize that courage and wisdom are found not in silencing disagreement but in learning how to live with it," @zalmanr.bsky.social writes. https://wapo.st/424oNZP

Opinion | The Jewish High Holidays teach this lost democratic virtue

These days demand humility, which includes acknowledging that we do not have a monopoly on truth.

Today’s WaPo opinion page strikes a conciliatory tone with columns by @shadihamid.bsky.social and @zalmanr.bsky.social. Crucial reading in this fraught moment, when people are being silenced in the wake of Charlie Kirk’s killing and the potential for more political violence has risen exponentially.
