This war is about one thing; To prove that Allah, the Koran, Islam and the Moslem people are more powerful that HaShem, the Torah, Judaism and Am Yisrael.
This is what Israelis should really be demanding.
Voices around the world were screaming that there was no food for the people in Gaza.
At the end of the day – the only thing that really matters is who leads Israel, not America.
It has been 76 years and it feels as though we have been at war every one of those years! This is not an exaggeration.
There is one “thank you” that has been greatly forgotten.
While everyone agrees with those saying “Bring Them Home” – we completely disagree with the weak and defeatist attitude of those willing to free the next Sinwar, as he was freed in the Shalit deal!
After October 7th, what actions are we expected to take?
My Rabbi is in Miluim this summer. Where is your rabbi vacationing?
What about the line that “we both come from Avraham”?? Wouldn’t that make us one big happy (or miserable) family??
I have spoken in over 500 Jewish communities in the USA and Canada and love the Q&A session that follows my presentation. This is where people get to ask what is truly bothering and/or confusing them. Once – at a hotel in the Catskills – a young woman gave an introduction to her question by […]
I feel ashamed from the gigantic sign that has been posted at the entrance to Herzliya. It’s a quote from Golda Meir...
You do not fight a war to free hostages. You fight a war to destroy the enemy.
People are walking around these days depressed, disappointed and frustrated. Things in the Jewish community – both in Israel and throughout the world – have become quite challenging… and it’s taking its toll. Many of us are asking questions that don’t have good answers: What will happen with the hostages? When will rockets stop falling […]
I have been living in Israel for 34 years and have always taken Yom Ha’Zikaron very seriously. Unlike the fun, shopping, vacation and BBQ day in America called “Memorial Day”, Yom Ha’Zikaron is a very meaningful, somber and emotional day. This year, however, there really is no more Yom Ha’Zikaron (Remembrance Day)… because it has […]
The often-repeated-story of how willing the “friendly” neighbors were to do the dirty work, even before the Nazis arrived....
A response to Rabbi Eli Buechler, the director of the OU-JLIC at Columbia/Barnard.
We had two great Rabbinic leaders who were crystal clear in what the State of Israel needed to do to defeat the enemy, but their words fell on deaf ears...
I recently visited a kindergarten in northern Israel...
Why is it so challenging to find people capable of leading the Jewish Nation?
The question is not "When will it end?" but rather "How do we win?"
The Jewish people need to stand proud and begin educating the world - even the founding of America was inspired and motivated by many of our Jewish leaders and warriors.
The world can’t figure something out; Why are Jews in the Diaspora helping Israel in enormous proportions and – even more unbelievable – why, specifically now, are more Jews talking about Aliyah than ever before! A good friend of mine, who is a real estate broker in Israel, told me that his phone is “ringing […]
Jews of the world; read my words carefully, not because I am anyone special, but because I say what others are afraid to.
The last thing we need is another museum of dead Jews.
For all people who claim that they are now “more Kahane than Sackett”, have them take this simple 5 question test...
A person I know well – who has been a proud leftist from the day we met – recently said to me that Kahane was right.
We are here to stay and – like it or not – we will conquer Gaza and destroy whoever stands in our way
How many times has the IDF attacked Hamas… only to have them come back bigger and better shortly thereafter?
I’ll get right to the point: Every Jew needs to see this movie.
Stop listening to the media and open your eyes to the truth; Life in Israel is wonderful!
I can’t get this headline out of my head; “Terrorist who killed IDF soldier, entered Israel legally.”
Over and over again the Torah tells us how to fight the enemy, but these guidelines don’t fit well in the “play-nice” world of 2023.
Question #1 to my fellow AI Jews; When is the last time you stopped to actually look at the words of “Al ha’Michya”?
For the first time, there was not one person under 40 in any of my presentations!
“You are Shmuel Sackett? Wow! My wife and I read all your articles and are your biggest fans!”
People throw around the term “Jewish unity” all the time, but what does it mean and how do we achieve that important goal? Do we have to agree with everyone?
Someone asked Eli why we stopped at this spot to read these verses in Shmuel Aleph. He smiled and then said words that I will never forget...
Recently, Israel’s Ambassador to the USA, Michael Herzog, was summoned to a meeting with Deputy Secretary of State, Wendy Sherman...
His question is actually one that many people have been asking lately. Why not simply finish the job with these terrorists?
It is very common to read about the problems in Israel and to hear the criticism. How about pausing that for a while and trying to focus on the good?
Huh! Not worried about the protests? Not worried about the hatred in the eyes of the left? Not worried about the lack of unity among the people?
I joined the Jewish Defense League in 1972 because of their slogan “Never Again”. The JDL had been formed 4 years earlier and I loved what they were doing. Rabbi Meir Kahane, may his blood be avenged, was the founder and charismatic leader of this tough, proud group of Jews who held their heads – […]
First the good news. Pesach is next week and despite the nonsense and all the noise, 98% of Am Yisrael in Eretz Yisrael will sit and enjoy the seder.
The biggest danger we face is not from social media, antisemitism, cellphones, addiction, or poverty. It's...
The town of Hawara got what they deserved and the next time a brick is thrown, the response will be even more severe.
I have spoken to thousands of people about making Aliyah and have received some very interesting reasons why – even though they would love to make Aliyah – have decided not to. I must state that my focus and direction on speaking to my brothers and sisters about this life-changing move is different from almost […]
Many of my friends have bitterly complained against these protesters, and their actions, but I strongly disagree.
In the mid-90’s I went to a lot of demonstrations in Israel. Together with hundreds of thousands of others, we were protesting the signing of the Oslo Accords. We were desperately trying to warn our brothers and sisters what would happen, if those agreements became reality. Unfortunately, the deal was signed and – exactly as […]
It has been my prediction all along that Netanyahu will turn the Knesset upside down just to leave Ben-Gvir out of the coalition.
I will try to explain the complicated Israeli political process in less than 300 words.
What’s wrong with us? The year is ending – and life is racing by – and all we want to do is finish the spiritual stuff as fast as possible so we can devour some chicken?
It's simple, when Jews move back to the Land, the “Geulah” – the redemption – gets much closer!
My wife and I were eating Friday night Shabbat dinner in one of the Israeli hotels, when we noticed a family sitting next to us who were clearly not religious. The kids – and parents - were on their phones and the father had more tattoos than most NBA players. However, even though everyone else […]
The job of Jews living outside of Eretz Yisrael is to do whatever it takes to start living inside!
In short, there are no Pinocchio’s in Judaism...
Don’t just ask when the fast ends… ask when the exile ends.
This is how the daughter of Pharaoh knew the baby was a Jew… by the way he cried! Tears of hope, not despair… weeping of yearning, not hopelessness.
We are clearly the “longshot” in every bet, yet we come through time and time again.
I can live to be 1,000 and will never understand how Memorial Day is commemorated in the USA.
Allow me to answer the question right away; we pray for both! But keep reading....
To deserve Israel is to fight for her.
A major injustice is occurring in Israel that I wanted to bring to your attention.
Listen closely and you’ll Yaacov Avinu; “My dearest children, stop building Jewish communities outside the land. Stop thinking that a trip every few years is enough. The Jewish nation needs you in Israel permanently. Move there with your family. Build a home, support the schools, grow the economy, plant some trees and defend the land.”
129 countries voted against the Jewish people... who do we blame?
Rabbis, politicians, community leaders, activists and successful businesspeople paying their respects to Jonathan Pollard. Where the heck were these people when he sat in prison for 30 years?
Rabbi Kahane gave us answers to "controversial subjects"… and most of them were not “politically correct” … but they were “Jewishly correct!”
Whether we like it or not, the eyes of the world are on little, tiny Israel. The NY times and CNN report about Israel as if we are the size of Russia and China combined!
When I can’t learn Daf Yomi with my regular Rav, I make sure to watch and listen to Rabbi Eli Stefansky’s amazing daf on YouTube. During one of his shiurim on Sukkah, Rav Eli quoted the Vilna Gaon as saying that the hardest mitzvah on Sukkot – and maybe the hardest mitzvah of the 613 […]
Why do several men insist on davening in the women’s section in shul during the week?
Today’s anti-Semite has become very clever. He/she no longer says they hate Jews. That’s not nice and very politically un-correct. The buzz word these days is called “Anti Israel”.
Making the Desert Bloom-Just look at the pictures...
This past week, I read more articles and heard more jokes about Ben & Jerry’s than I have in the last 100 years… ok, only the last 59 years. While everyone meant well, including the “We Stand with Israel” attitude, I have to be straight and honest with you… you’re focused on the wrong thing! […]
No laundries, no showers, no swimming, and no pastrami sandwiches. It seems like the big expression during the Nine Days is: "Just say no!" Please allow me, therefore, to change things up a bit. Here is a list of things you can say "yes" to during this period.
Did anyone change their daily routine or – just like the ‘ol Pharaoh - are we still the same ‘ol Yossi, Rivka, Sarah and Chaim?
Plague after plague… but this time it wasn’t sent to Pharaoh, it was sent to us.
I would guess that you wouldn’t have thought that I would write such an article, but I did…
Jackie Mason made a joke recently that there are 3 things we can always count on: Death, Taxes and Anti-Semitism...
The security forces are baffled… he doesn’t fit the perfect description!
Israel needed to act swiftly and forcefully as soon as the trouble started because the Arab world was watching… and we failed that test.
Can we only help a brother in need if we agree with his ideology?
Does this government – and the system running it – need a major overhaul? For sure! But it’s my imperfect government, so I take the good with the bad.
With Yom Ha’Shoah being commemorated this week, what lessons did we learn from that tragic era?
If you’re not prepared to have the most meaningful Pesach experience of your life, stop reading this immediately!
Every ethnic group in America is growing, except the Jews.
People have been convinced to stop following the Covid safety guidelines. This has resulted in many people getting sick and even dying and I hold this group accountable for their deaths!
The Jewish people went from being an outdoor nation to becoming indoor communities, but the Torah world is definitely returning to the way it was… under the heavens, together as one nation
I will get right to the point. This Rosh Ha’Shanah, we are focusing on the wrong thing. Instead of worrying how many people are allowed in shul and whether or not we need to cover the shofar with a cloth, we need to focus on how to crown Hashem – King of the world! This […]
In 1991 while waiting for a SCUD, I didn’t follow the rules and instead drank a BUD… but in 2020 I am ready for the TASK by caring for neighbors and wearing my MASK.
Discussion on the Trump Peace Plan reminds me of a multiple-choice test: A) I like the plan B) I do not like the plan C) I'm in the middle D) None of the above. My answer is simple. It is a definite, positive “D” – “None of the above”. Let me explain....
For 2,000 years we have been waiting for some hero to ride into town and simply “save the day”. Unfortunately, this is not a Jewish concept.
I cannot stand with those people who are posting – all over social media – that Jews need to “leave America NOW, before it’s too late!”
Be full of joy – yes, real “simcha” – especially now during these challenging days.
If you think that elections in Israel are finally over… think again, because the fun is just about to begin! The only part that’s over is election day
Israel is a Jewish state--heck, even our Ninjas are Jewish!
