Saw this come across my Facebook feed and I have to be honest. I thought to myself. Enough. What connection could the story of Purim, that happened well around the year 357 BCE (i.e. well over 2,000 years ago) have with the Nuremberg trials that took place in 1946. Well, …
Israel is once again facing elections. And once again, Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu timed the elections to fit his hopes and dreams. I had hopes and dreams once of a united Israel that would stand strong. I voted for Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu because my Hebrew wasn’t very good and …
Tu b’Shevat is a holiday that really only makes sense in Israel. It’s considered the “new year’s day” of the trees. We have one, why shouldn’t they. And so, in honor of this wonderful yearly event, Israel’s Ministry of Foreign Affairs released this amazing video of some of the agriculture technologies …
Stanley Goldfoot is often credited with writing an iconic article entitled “A Letter to the World from Jerusalem”. Sometimes, it is called, “An Open Letter to the World from Jerusalem”. Goldfoot was the founding editor of the Times of Israel – no, not the website that exists today (and leans …
You know how you read a story and it touches your heart and how the one thought that keeps going through your mind is, “I can’t imagine.” That was my reaction when I read the words of Tal Ovadia.
Every time I think it can’t get worse on Facebook, Mark Zuckeberg proves me wrong. To start with the obvious, there are, for Jews and ideally for the world, two words in the English language that carry special and tragic meaning. The word, holocaust, with a lowercase “h” refers to …

The survivors are dying…so few are left. They leave behind unquestionable evidence of the horrors committed by Nazi Germany. Unquestionable because there is so much. No other mass slaughter in history was ever so well documented…often by the very people who were committing the genocide. Germans were meticulous in documenting, …
Nikki Haley is fast becoming my hero. I love her accent and I love her heels. But more, I love the sound of her telling the United Nations what we’ve all whispered to each other. You are a bunch of biased, anti-Semites. No, those weren’t Haley’s exact words, but they’re …
