This week’s ARZA E-Alert focuses on negotiations to form the new Israeli government coalition, with special attention on the role of Avigdor Lieberman.  Rabbis Eric Yoffie, Jeffrey Salkin and Ira Youdovin analyze the dangers Lieberman poses to Israel and world Jewry. Rabbi Michael (Micky) Boyden,  Director, Rabbinic Court of the Israel Council of Progressive Rabbis, writes from the perspective of Yahadut Mitkademet (Israeli Reform Judaism). 

Included also are articles by Shlomo Avnery, a long-time leader of Israel’s left (reprinted from The Forward); Rabbi Daniel Gordis, senior vice president and senior scholar at the Shalem Center, a conservative Israeli think tank (reprinted from the Jerusalem Post), and Aaron David Miller, policy scholar at the Woodrow Wilson International Center for Scholars, author of “The Much Too Promised Land: America’s Elusive Search for Arab-Israeli Peace,” and foreign policy advisor to six American presidents (reprinted from The Forward).
