I left the station with the feeling that he had played a game of pinball in my brain.

Lights. Camera Action...
The message of Passover fully begins only when the holiday ends and its habits carry over into our daily lives.
Tourist and religious sites have been packed over the holiday. If infection numbers don't spike the week after Passover, expect whatever restrictions remain to be significantly eased or completely eliminated.
“Friends” in Europe pour massive amounts of money into illegal Palestinian development in Area C – the part of the territory that is supposed to be under full Israeli control according to the Oslo Accords.

The good news is there won’t be a fifth election. The bad news is there won’t be a solid rightwing coalition either.
The good trend continues: All bad numbers are down. However, it does seem that all the folks willing to get the vaccine have received it already. Very few people are going to get it now.
The politicians all like to say, in sepulchral tones, that nobody wants a (second, third, fourth, or fifth) election, but I don’t believe them

Netanyahu is right where he wants to be, with a choice of coalition partners to pick from.
Leaving out the extreme Left and the Haredi and Arab parties, I believe most Israelis more or less agree that our important goals are prioritized as follows...
How does antisemitism fit into all this? Unfortunately antisemitism is becoming acceptable as part of the ‘woke’ culture
Einstein in the book wants to see peace between Jews and Arabs:
One year later, we are free from lockdown, but still unable to celebrate a seder with family, as it is currently nearly impossible to travel between Israel and North America.
Reactions included numerous “Likes” in which the irony failed to resonate.
By Tzvi Fishman
When I entered the Knesset, I was put under a magnifying glass because of who I am – both from secular and charedi society. Instead of evaluating my professional achievements, each side questioned my suitability and tested me.
Prime Minister Netanyahu claimed this week that Israel in on the verge of diplomatic agreements with at least four additional Muslim countries.
What is worrisome is that the people running these corporations are also products of the American university system. They share the revolutionary ideology that is popular there.

He's All About Ego And Power
Israel's newest “war crime” is “killing” Palestinian prisoners with the Coronavirus," "Snow fell in Jerusalem “to clean it” of Israeli “filth”. And that's just this month.
When you have a list of what should be changed in Israel, and only when it is changed will you truly feel comfortable living here, Israel isn’t for you.
The government using race to prioritize medical treatment is horrifying enough, but vaccine passports take the biased vaccine system and embed that bias into everyday areas of life.
Interpol as succumbed to pressure from the Tamimi family, lawyers and clan in Jordan and has cancelled the Red Notice which operated until now to encourage member governments to arrest her if she enters their jurisdiction.

After a lengthy process, a profile on Elayan was removed this week from the Canary Mission website as part of the Ex-Canary program. The program is designed for individuals who have "shown moral courage to recognize their earlier mistakes, embracing tolerance and coexistence – despite social pressure from their peers."
Indeed, I could not believe how grown up she looked at her party. Sitting on her birthday throne, crowned in a wreath of flowers, bedecked in her best party dress, she looked like such a little lady!

There are dozens of other Iran nuke deal-related documents which are not even classified secret but which the Obama administration has nonetheless refused to release. There are broad suspicions those documents contain embarrassing concessions to Iran
So far, Naftali Bennett continues to rise in the polls and his party is now polling in third place overall. This is quite impressive, but Netanyahu still has two weeks to take voters from Bennett, like he has consistently done in the past.
Trump and Pompeo’s sanctions were strangling the Iranian economy, and while there is no doubt that this caused significant hardship to ordinary Iranians, a military confrontation would be far worse for everyone. Had Trump been reelected, the pressure would have continued.
The cat in the hat has left our fair shore, And here we are left, abandoned and poor.
Behind every big WOKE brand is a company slowly going broke and with no clue what to do about it.

While the chag was still nice, it just wasn’t the Adar excitement we had expected. Reflecting on this over Shabbat, my husband and I decided we still had time to make this holiday special.
Israel is both a democracy and a Jewish state. But by their decision, the Supreme Court has moved the needle. They apparently place more importance on being a democracy than they do on being a Jewish state
Every ethnic group in America is growing, except the Jews.
One of the least likely to be able to influence anything is Benny Gantz and his Blue and White party. Even more of his friends publicly encouraged him to drop out again this week.
I can see one way out of the dilemma
The terms Islamophobia and cancel culture are left wing ideologies working hand in hand to undermine and destroy the West by vilifying critical thinking.
An anti-Semitic canard, it has been going through yet another revival.
I just wanted to reflect on how devastating this disease has been to the world in general and to our community in particular.
In honor of SHushan Purim: Ben-Ami’s organization rose to combat the common misperception that the Jews give monolithic support to their own redemption and restoration.
“Sovereignty will be an official political and national statement that this land is ours.”
This is a brief summary of the narcissistic black supremacist theology of the Nation of Islam which believes that an evil Jewish mad scientist named Yakub (Jacob) used eugenics to create Europeans, Indians, and Asians from the original black master race after leaving Mecca.
Does SNL owe Israel and the Jewish community an apology?
My husband and I debated what was best for the kids. We wanted to do whatever we could to keep them safe, but we also wanted to give them their best opportunities to grow, learn, and have fun.

Purim has a unique status of celebrating two days of the Jewish holiday.

Purim tells us about the power of one person to change the fate of our people. Esther is not described as particularly brilliant or talented. She is just a woman, with a big heart who, with courage and feminine intuition, changed the world.
The declared intent of the curfew is to prevent large drunken parties/festive gatherings in the evenings. The upcoming video footage of attempted enforcement will be incredible!
Leaders of the Conservative Movement keep thinking they are going to innovate themselves out of the mess they got themselves into
There is no reason for Israel to subsidize these enterprises, which are explicitly or implicitly calling for its destruction.

Arabs from the West Bank have a more nuanced attitude towards Israel. Their opinions change depending on current events.
Impeaching elected officials can be political theater or serve a legitimate purpose. Impeaching former officials is never anything except political theater.
For a non-violent society, the Palestinians have gone to great lengths to name stuff after terrorists.

You do not need 100 percent to achieve herd immunity, and I don’t think we should chase after it.
As my kids and I have taken daily walks for a month now, it is not an exaggeration to say that we literally know every crack in the sidewalk within our allowed kilometer.
Things are definitely heating up in the Middle East, despite it being quite cold. Could anyone have predicted this? Everyone did.
Even while the Biden administration is preparing to double down on Obama’s abuse of the national security state to target his political opponents, it’s also giving real terrorists a pass.
Rather than the face of a saint, he had the face of an angel.
Be smart and reject Farrakhan and his racist poison, only then can you proceed with a clear conscience to free blacks from systematic racism.

What I like about Yamina and Naftali Bennett is they talk about doing and when they were in positions in which they could do, they did. They have concrete plans and do not try to sell a fantasy.

Nothing exceeds like excess
Unfortunately Obama's ignorance of history and skewed ideology produced an equally skewed morality, in which there is no room for a Jewish state
They want to silence any other opinions
The continued spread of the virus is mostly being attributed to the "British Mutation.” This strand of the virus has attacked much younger people and specifically late-term pregnant women.

Why do Gazans want the vaccine while West Bank Arabs do not?
Danny Thomas was more than just neutral about the Jewish people. He showed kindness and sensitivity to the plight of a Chasid-- Abraham J. Twerski.

Amongst secular Jews, our rightful attachment to the full borders of Eretz Yisrael is a political bargaining chip, not an iron-clad covenant from Sinai.
In the late 19th century, when the first aliyah arrived in Palestine, the land was a barren desert. Through hard work, sacrifice, and belief (not to mention a whole lot of hashgacha pratis), the land was transformed into the lush beautiful country we all enjoy today.
Blame for the continued spread is mostly being attributed to new mutations of the virus. And anti-Semites are just blaming the charedim.
Palestinian factions have denounced the interview, calling it "illegal" and "normalization."

When a Jewish family needed help with drug abuse, Rabbi Abraham Twerski answered the call.
Ben-Ami insisted that American Jewry in general, but especially his organization, must have a say in what happens from "the River of Egypt to the River Euphrates."
All this requires a government that can pay attention to multiple issues at the same time, a coalition that can work together, and a PM that is not on trial for corruption.
Enjoy unity at gunpoint in the Bidenist banana republic.
RISE UP, for equal rights for all.
Jews have been blamed for conspiracy theories from the very first moment of becoming a people.
Seniors who have been living alone over the past year without family visits may be concealing symptoms of anxiety and mental deterioration that should be addressed.
The items wouldn’t be replaced or refunded. I was informed that they had been delivered by their use-by date and that I could have frozen them.
The enforcement of the lockdown regulations also continues to be quite contentious, particularly since it's only done in charedi areas.
