Are you passionate about Jewish issues? Can you articulate your opinions in clean, unadorned prose that's engaging and culturally relevant? Are you able to write thoughtful, authoritative, factual pieces about Jewish history, food, philosophy, holidays, current events, wisdom, or the intersection between Judaism and science geared for a wide Jewish audience?

If yes, Aish.com, one of the world's largest Jewish content sites, is looking for writers. Please send two samples of your writing – published work is better, but we'll accept blog posts or unpublished pieces, too – and a blurb about your background, interests, and experience.

We're open to any style – being your genuine self is a must – but appreciate edge, personality, humor, and even some snark. We pay competitive rates for quality writing.

  1. All large donations should be regulated. They should have to disclose where they come from. Professors shouldn’t be allowed to teach or probate against anyone!

  2. Nothing new here. A century ago it was American robber barons who were the big donors. The US decided even longer ago to inadequately fund it's educational institutions and as a result they are all susceptible to influence from anyone with money. I can show you an academic cancer center named for someone who owned a cigarette company! We aren't willing to pay the needed taxes to eliminate the temptations.

  3. Here's an excellent and unbiased source: sites.ed.gov/foreigngifts/ Type in any country, school name, or state (USA) you wish and you can see at a glance how just how much has been given, exactly when and and exactly where. Indiana University of Pennsylvania received $6,600,000 from the Palestinian Territories. Why are they giving this money abroad rather than taking care of their own impoverished people?
    The site also lists 33 pages of gifts from Qatar, 58 pages from Oman, 100 pages from Kuwait, and 421 (!) pages from Saudi Arabia.

  4. A very sad and deeply disturbing article. At least I now know why there is so much anti-Jewish and anti-Israel rhetoric from these institutions. Do not bite the hand that feeds you, id est, do not offend your benefactor. The only antidote to falsehood is truth, may all lovers of the truth rise in united voice to demand transparency of these institutions.

    1. I've read about this at National Review in articles by Andrew C. McCarthy, a former Federal prosecutor who prosecuted the Blind Sheik for the first bombing of the World Trade Center. He wrote extensively about the hold that Muslim Brotherhood affiliates have in the US.

  5. After reading this one can assume that the anti-Israel demonstrations on campuses right after the Oct. 7 progrim are linked to Qatari et al "influence". And this to D.E I. and you create a pressure cooker that can only end up demonizing Israel and Jews everywhere. Sad.

    1. I have been in academia for about three decades and have participated in many DEI events. Never have I been demonized.

  6. Money always buys influence.
    If Americans want less Arab influence, it will have to make these donations illegal. Jewish money will not be treated differently.

  7. Thank you for the sensible conclusion, but I wonder if it isn't too late to undo the damage caused by Arab states buying into American universities; after all, "money talks"—even dirty money.
    Ironically, Arabs are actualizing the false charges against Jews in the anti-Semitic Protocols of the Elders of Zion, which declared that Jewish presence throughout the world was an intentional ploy to take over the globe – as if we desired the Diaspora!

    Please research the number of Arab/Muslim voluntary immigrants worldwide, and compare their dubious, self-serving "contributions" to society with that of Jewish refugees' wherever the latter found a safe haven. Jews show their gratitude by benefiting their host countries, unlike Arab hordes who wreak havoc with their funders' megabucks.

    1. Your final paragraph is a gross generalization. I have known several Arab, Persian and/or Muslims who have immigrated, in part due of the greater freedom in the US. I can’t think of any who were antisemitic or anti American. All were grateful to be here. Some practiced Islam, others did not, and one is a Coptic Christian whose family immigrated from Egypt.
      Arab hordes? Please give a US example, not a few isolated incidents.
