B”H The core and essence of Judaism is Am Yisrael’s exodus from the galut in the Land of Egypt. And Pessach is the holiday that celebrates and prepares us for just that, the exodus. That is, The Exodus is THE paradigm journey. It is a concept and reality at the …
There is a battle raging in Israel and sadly, it is between Ultra-Orthodox Jews and non-Ultra-Orthodox Jews. On the bright side, it is a battle that unifies many diverse communities. On the negative side, they are unified against one of our own. In the last few weeks, the debate has …
Let me preface this by saying that I did not, and still do not think that any candidate in the Presidential election in 2016 was capable of leading the United States. Right now, Donald Trump is the President, despite what the #notmypresident fans think. The United States has a serious …
B”H Iran wants credit for having saved Am Yisrael three times. How the newscaster on the radio was able to read this without choking, or laughing, or gagging – I don’t know. Iran is putting forth that King Achashverosh saved Am Yisrael, when in fact he was the one who …
B”H Bayamim hahem – those days just as today. Am Yisrael has been up against more than one Final Solution plan to completely wipe us out. With all the merriment of Purim, we still need to remember that our joy and celebration are because we were able to not only …
B”H Since the “indigenous” issue has cropped up yet again, I will add my two cents in hope of helping it finally be laid to rest. Basically, the question is simply: ‘Is Am Yisrael indigenous to Eretz Yisrael?’ The answer, though, is not so simple. The answer is neither yes …

What is disputed is only whether the vows are still valid and in effect.
It is high time we break out of this terrible impasse and deadlock. It is high time we respectfully request all the rabbanim to come together to provide a concrete Step No. 1 – if not Nos. 2 and 3 too – to finding a solution to the rift, as we also request all to acknowledge and accept Torah.
How can it be that there are Jews right here in Eretz Yisrael who know nothing about Torah and Judaism?!
The closer we get to geula, the stronger and clearer the rift and antagonism between Am Yisrael and the Erev Rav. It all boils down in the end to Am Yisrael versus the Erev Rav, though the two opposing camps are still intertwined and mixed together. Am Yisrael stands with …
B”H This morning, “My Nation – Ami Chai” posted a pic of the monument erected in She’ar Yeshuv, the village over which the two helicopters crashed, with the caption reading “Today marks 20 years since the Israeli Helicopter Disaster”. It then adds – “On February 4, 1997, two Israeli helicopters …
