In two earlier posts, here and here, we reported on the fallout from Tikkun’s decision to publish on its website an article by an antisemitic writer who uses the name “Israel Shamir.” The article has now been removed from the website.

Karl’s last email to Michael Lerner, the editor of Tikkun, is republished below, as is Michael Lerner’s response.

Karl Pfeifer has kindly given Z Word permission to publish the following email correspondence between himself and Tikkun assistant editor Dimitri Zagoroff (see my previous post).
Tikkun is an American Jewish magazine on the left which takes its name from the theological concept of tikkun olam - repairing and improving the world through the promotion of social justice.
