All this, not for a rock star, politician, or even a charismatic influencer. Rabbi Chaim Kanievsky was a vessel of Jewish knowledge, an example of Jewish scholarliness, of putting learning, wisdom, and faith above all worldly comforts.
“G-d spoke to Joshua saying…Prepare for yourselves the cities of refuge, about which I spoke to you through Moses, where a killer may flee – one who kills a person through carelessness, unintentionally…They designated Kedesh in the Galilee in the mountains of Naphtali (Joshua 20: 1-7)”
Netzach Yisrael is the first Charedi school in Israel to compete in this international competition
Zionism doesn’t maintain Jews have a right to the land of Israel so that Jews will have a place of refuge, the Jewish right to their ancestral homeland stands irrespective of Jewish safety and security.

In Israel, this war provides a convenient excuse for our media to not cover many uncomfortable and critical issues including dangerous lack of sovereignty and frightening levels of corruption...
The Biden Admin. is Obama’s third term. Its foreign policy team, and especially those responsible for negotiations with Iran, are made up almost entirely of former Obama Administration people. Although I can’t prove it, I believe that Obama, Ben Rhodes, Susan Rice, and others are pulling the strings.
Today, we will visit an important example of a site mentioned in Tanach (Bible), where G-d saved the Jewish people through an open miracle.

There are many voices, particularly those backed by progressive Jewish, American-based organizations declaring that Israel needs to stand on the side of morality and help ALL Ukrainian refugees, without inquiring if they are Jewish or have any connection to Israel. I say, "No. Just no."

Israel's government needs to wake up
After Biden’s announcement that he had chosen Ketanji Brown Jackson as his nominee, the majority of Americans continue to reject Biden’s racial determinism for the Supreme Court.

Most Israelis are familiar with the Hilltop Youth only through the mainstream media that stigmatizes them and that negative picture is stuck in their minds. Viewed as violent unruly young people, they are accused of regularly harassing Arabs just going about their daily lives, yet the opposite is closer to the truth, unless one considers that the mere presence of Jews in Judea-Samaria is harassment enough.
The ordinary Israeli sees Reform Judaism for what it is, a politically left-leaning, spiritually vacuous, non-Jewish religion. But it is the 800-pound gorilla of the non-Orthodox world, with money, clout, and people that it uses to project its influence here in Israel, where, in my opinion, it does not belong.

J Street is a progressive PAC first and foremost, which thinks nothing of standing alongside left wing groups that despise Israel.
A major injustice is occurring in Israel that I wanted to bring to your attention.

This war is NOTHING like the Holocaust
Come visit the prophesied site of the "End of Dayss' beforehand-less traffic; better parking
It's hard to ignore the growing trend on social media in the last couple of days, taking shape right before our eyes. I will call it: "The Ukrainianization of the Palestinian narrative."
I was familiar with Congressman Deutch’s work on Israel in Congress and before that the State house but was in shock that he would volunteer to speak without even being asked!
Apartheid is a term used purely for propaganda purposes when applied to Israel

The response to the destruction of Jewish property and land rights? Nothing but the sound of crickets.
The Synagogue from Roman/Byzantine times was only discovered in 1965, when workers of nearby Kibbutz Ein Gedi were plowing the field and found a well preserved Mosaic floor.

The problem with President’s Day is that it homogenizes all the great deeds done by individual presidents into a meaningless amalgamation.
This morning’s paper discusses the plans being made for the possible aliya of the roughly 250,000 Ukrainians who are eligible for Israeli citizenship under the Law of Return. Several government ministries and the army are making preparations to bring them to Israel, provide identity documents, places of temporary residence, and financial aid for them, if […]
As much as the Arab and charedi sectors must begin participating in Israeli national life, the rest of Israeli society must incorporate Arabs and charedim into Israeli society.
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.”
By Paul Gherkin
The war against the Jewish State began militarily at Israel’s inception, as the armies of five Arab nations invaded Israel in 1948 in a war to annihilate it. In June 1967, the Arab world attempted the same but failed spectacularly. Since that time, the armed conflict by Muslim countries has continued with more modest ambitions, as the […]
I see Ben Gvir as no-nonsense, and tough-talking. He is committed to protecting Jewish rights in the land at a time when many play fast and loose with those rights.
I want to be more specific about the meaning of Zionism today: I say it is the belief that the State of Israel is the state of and for the Jewish people, and not a “state of its citizens.”
Tel el Ful, rarely sees visitors but this unique treasure is our next stop.
What’s happening to the ADL is what has happened to countless Jewish, Christian and non-sectarian organizations that were once liberal and are now just leftist fronts. What the Soviet Union failed to accomplish in its infiltrations, two generations of activists backed by powerful and wealthy men have done by turning every liberal group into the same front.
You would think that we are all on the brink of World War III.
I have learned that the EU (an enemy of Israel) has paid the anti-Israel NGO Breaking the Silence a very substantial sum to raise public awareness of “settler violence.”

Contrary to the claims that Israel is taking over so-called Palestinian land by the resettlement of Jewish communities in YESHA, it is the Palestinian Authority (PA) with the help of European $ that is eating away at Area C
Why does Israel permit her enemies to support a subversive fifth column inside the state? I don’t know. Big money corrupts. Maybe enough Israeli politicians have personal connections to these NGOs, and they or friends and family benefit from them, and that’s why the laws that have been passed to regulate foreign money are weak and toothless.

Taharlev, an astoundingly prolific writer, articulated the primal truths of what it means to be part of the greatest love story ever documented – the love story between this Land and her People, between the People and our Land.

Of the 597 citations, 461 of them (77%) came from controversial Israeli NGOs that receive extensive funding from foreign governments.
This one page, when read honestly, proves not only Israel's liberalism but also Amnesty's illiberalism.

The latest news proves that Whoopi Goldberg of the View is an anti-Semite and should be labeled. However, as a critic of cancel culture, I still don’t believe she should be fired.
129 countries voted against the Jewish people... who do we blame?
It’s time more of our columns, op-eds, posts and tweets focused on how well we’re doing and less on what others think about us.
What possesses a teacher, whose job is to be loving and empathetic to all her students, to want to torture Jews. Has he or she become satanically possessed? Does your school district have an exorcism protocol?

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?
Was it really fair, I asked myself, to seek my own closure and need to fulfill my mitzvah of tochechah at the expense of her self-confidence?

Whoopi illustrated perfectly the philosophy of the “woke” brigades who profess a society of inclusivity and racial harmony, but in reality ferment a world of hatred, divisiveness and outright racism.

Silence Will Allow 'Never Again' To Happen AGAIN
Whether or not it is true that more Americans hold antisemitic views than in the past, my guess is that American Jews are right to be concerned, because the fragmentation and disintegration of American society that is occurring now has released numerous demons, including antisemitic ones – and the demons are increasingly violent
By Forest Rain
An International Day for Holocaust Remembrance in today’s world is bizarre and almost laughable. Today Jews are denied the right to live safely in our own land while the world denies that a problem even exists.
So what’s my problem? Why do I insist that the state is in as much danger now as it was in 1948, 1967, or 1973?
Repeated attacks on Jewish synagogues, tombs and people can partially explain why a synagogue being burned to the ground by Palestinians garnered little or no attention.
The Israeli government does sometimes take action, often when prodded by Regavim, but equally often the thefts of land are simply ignored. I think this is because many Israeli officials, even ones that are supposedly “right-wing,” have internalized the idea that a Palestinian state of some kind is both benign and inevitable. It had better not be inevitable, because nothing about it is benign

Angry at the survival of the Jewish nation, Muslim Arab countries purged their Jews. Roughly 99% of the region’s Jews were forced out, an estimated 850,000 Jews
As far back as 2013, Pakistani Muslim terrorists had plotted to take "foreign Jews" hostage to trade for ‘Lady Al Qaeda’. In 2022, a Pakistani Muslim terrorist actually went out and did it.
Zionism is a romantic prophetic vision of the Jewish people put into action daily in the Jewish people’s historic homeland.

The Ra’am Party flexes its muscles, threatens to act against the government (and does act against the government), but does it really want to bring this coalition down—the first one in which an Arab political party has had membership?
We know through painful experience that freedom is never voluntarily given by the oppressor; it must be demanded by the oppressed.

The die was cast. The love affair between Jewish and Black Leadership, fomented by two great men, Reverend Martin Luther King Jr., and Rabbi Abraham Joshua Heschel, was fractured by the Jew-hatred of Dr. King’s successors.
What binds the Socialist Left with the Palestinian Islamic Right?
Unfortunately, many Israeli politicians seem to have internalized the mindset that is promoted by the psywar campaign
I believer that Israel’s future is in the hands of Hashem, but I also recognize that Hashem created a world where we must secure our people’s future. The Jewish people must enlist Christian friends … to ensure America’s support of Israel.
As Jews missed an opportunity to tell their story, their enemies told it for them. Zionism was declared racism and Jewish autonomy became known as oppression.

Kamala’s speech was called offensive, disgusting, and worse.
Here we are in 2022 and our leaders are scapegoating the non-vaccinated, blaming them for the continuation of the pandemic.

Several of these blatantly anti-Semitic events were condemned by State Senator James Skoufis, which was appreciated by the Jews in his district. However, many of those Jews may not be aware of the anti-Semitic controversies surrounding Skoufis himself.
"Those who are happy about the assassination of Qasem Soleimani are the gays of the Arab nation who have normalized relations with Israel"
More insidious an accusation is the denial of the historical connection of the Jewish people to their own land. Anti-Zionists frequently peddle the false claim that Jews are colonialist foreigners who came from Europe to occupy a native people’s land.
The Houthi information minister claimed that the UAE has been pursuing a new strategy against the Yemeni people ever since Israel's prime minister visited there.
Commentators affiliated with Hamas are trying to elevate the firing of the "Sam 7" missiles as a "game-changer" which Israel did not anticipate.

Just another day in the 'glorious' history of the so-called Palestinians
The lack of a definition allowed Zionists to stretch the meaning of Zionism to almost absurd dimensions.
We don’t need these missionaries to “share” their testimonies, and their peace will never be ours until they respect us enough to honor our beliefs as they hypocritically demand we honor theirs.
