Every day of our lives, we have a choice – we can choose bright or we can choose dark. When things get depressing, I do two things. I shut out the news and only listen to silly programs on television. I can’t, simply can’t handle an endless run of sad …
Micha Danzig responds to the ridiculous comments of Tamika Mallory. Who is this woman? Well, as Micha points out, she clearly doesn’t know much about history and seems to have learned the little that she knows straight from a Hamas playbook.

If you live somewhere long enough, you’ll eventually learn the lay of the land. Belonging somewhere means sharing in the national moments as well as the personal ones. As individuals, and as a nation, we go through a wide range of experiences and emotions – love and hate, anger and …
The Israel Defense Forces is an army unlike any other in the world. A soldier in Israel is treated…well, differently than most soldiers in other armies. This is true for many reasons. Our soldiers train like any other army, wear uniforms, have roll call. They eat, sleep on base, do …
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 …

I recall my dear friend Rabbi Mordechai Ganzweig, may the memory of the righteous be a blessing. I was a young man when we had this conversation. He warned me about the problems associated with teaching, of being a teacher, the dangers, the economic hardships, the lack of recognition and …

Guest Post by Dave Bender How many incoming alerts, mortar shells, and possibly larger rockets were intentionally fired towards Israeli civilians, towns, villages, and farms so far, today alone?
