Last week, in honor of Israel’s 73
rd birthday, my colleagues asked each other where they would go first when they next visit Israel. As a longtime religion reporter who has never been to the Jewish state, the first image that came to mind was the iconic and sacred Western Wall, one of Judaism’s holiest sites.

Merav Michaeli’s election as chairwoman of Labor, together with the makeup of her party list, prompted a theory that there’s no longer any real difference between Labor and Meretz.
Michaeli and her No. 3, Emilie Moatti, are perceived as left-wing Tel Aviv women who could just as easily have run with Meretz. Reform Rabbi Gilad Kariv’s cause is perceived as more closely identified with the more left-wing party, and Ibtisam Mara’ana-Menuhin has become a more familiar and radical figure than Meretz candidate Ghaida Rinawie Zoabi. Omer Bar-Lev and Yair Golan are also perceived as filling equivalent spots on their parties’ lists.
