We’ve all been asked a question that sets our nerves ablaze. It’s a question that shouldn’t have been asked but more, it is a question that should not HAVE to be asked. The answer is obvious, isn’t it? We each have our own “offensive” question. Offensive in quotes because perhaps, …
Do you love your country, your land? There is a parable told about King Solomon, who is remembered as an exceptionally wise man. Two women came to him, both claiming to be the mother of the infant they brought with them. The king listened to each woman and then instructed …

The last time Persia/Iran set a deadline for when it planned to kill the Jews, the leader of the plot was left hanging from a tree. As I sat on the beach watching the planes, surrounded by hundreds of people, I knew that Israelis were anything but afraid.

My name is Yaakov Mandell. But my friends call me Koby. I am 13 years old. I was born in the United States and lived in College Park, Maryland. In 1996 my parents, Sheeri and Seth, decided we should make aliyah to Israel, taking along myself and my siblings Daniel, …
