“Golda” as “whiteness” triumphant

Last updated on: August 26, 2023 at 5:37 pm By Dan Peterson

I’ve read Noah Berlatsky’s review of the new film Golda (CNN: “Opinion: The Golda Meir movie starring Helen Mirren fails the test of history”). Although written from a Leftist perspective, it manages to make a few points worthy of consideration and discussion. But — I’m sorry –this is flat nonsense, and almost the stuff of self-caricature: Mirren is not Jewish, and she wears heavy makeup to look like the unglamorous, chain-smoking politician. Accordingly, the movie is inevitably fodder... Read more

“A Mystery to the World”

““A Mystery to the World”: A New Proposal for Isaiah 22:20-25,” written by Spencer Kraus Abstract: Isaiah’s oracle in Isaiah 22 regarding a man named Eliakim employs significant and unique language regarding a “nail in a sure place.” This language is accompanied by clear connections to the ancient temple, including the bestowal of sacred clothing and authority, offering additional significant context through which to understand this phrase. Additionally, according to early leaders of the Church, this oracle may... Read more

One of the things that I like most about the place that we stay when we’re here is that it’s only a few minutes away from the Newport Beach Temple. We attended a session there last night (with a friend, her daughter, and her son-in-law), and so this article caught my particular attention when I saw it this morning: “A Deeper Look into the Power of Latter-day Saint Temples: Why do others see Latter-day Saints as so good?

My remarks at the 2023 FAIR LDS conference (“Understanding History Backwards”) are now available via YouTube. I am so surprised that Yevgeny Prigozhin appears to have died in the catastrophic crash of a private jet. (One of its wings apparently fell off in mid-flight, at about 26,000 feet.) Could anybody possibly have seen this coming? (Out of the clear blue sky, as it were.) But I’m reassured by the fact that a Russian government investigative committee... Read more

My wife and I spent a significant portion of the day visiting the graves of my parents in Rose Hills Memorial Park and, in San Gabriel Cemetery adjacent to the Episcopal Church of Our Saviour, the grave of my brother and the as-yet unmarked and recent grave of his widow. Their youngest daughter, Melissa, has now been reinterred there with them. When she was born, the umbilical cord became wrapped around her neck, and the medical personnel were... Read more

My wife and I left Cedar City fairly early this morning, Friday morning, and headed for the town of Monroe, Utah — not far from Richfield — to attend the funeral of her remarkable 91-year-old aunt, who lost a brief battle with cancer after a very active life. We were representing my wife’s father and her siblings. It was good to be there, and to gather with many members of my wife’s extended family at the graveside service... Read more
