An important lesson of the Now Jewish Nanny’s journey and the families that inspired her is to ask ourselves, if someone worked in our home, lived with our family, was involved in our lives and lifestyle, would that draw them closer to Judaism or push them away?
The Trump proposal comprises a point of singularity reflecting a sharp break from past trends, and a sober recognition of the futility of the past pursuit of some mythical Palestinian “peace partner.”
Like the anti-Trump “resistance,” the country’s liberal establishment is waging a war against the prime minister as a bid to hold on to power, not an effort to save democracy.

Hamas left Israel no alternative but to resume the war.

As recently as March 7, Congressman Jerrold Nadler and Congressman Adriano Espaillat issued the following statement: Revoking federal grants to Columbia University isn’t about combating anti-Semitism; it’s about the Trump administration’s war on education and science. Suuuure it is Jerry. Try telling that to the Jewish students who faced violence and threats there since the Hamas mini-Holocaust.

Do the Arab leaders really believe that Western donors would rush to invest tens of billions of dollars in the Gaza Strip while terrorists belonging to Hamas, Palestinian Islamic Jihad and other groups continue to roam the streets?

The notion that Trump’s refusal to let Zelenskyy dictate U.S. policy sets a precedent for the Jewish state is a partisan talking point. The two relationships have little in common.
For an industry still powered by Jews and obsessed with the making of superhero movies, the Oscar for Jewish Cowardice continues to have far too many nominees.

If Trump successfully manages to overcome the pressures and obstacles placed in front of him, what he is setting in motion today can magnificently transform the Middle East.
602 living terrorists are being exchanged for the bodies of four murdered hostages.
The completion of Wednesday night’s exchange will mark the conclusion of the first phase of the ceasefire agreement.

It has been one month since the start of the ceasefire, and uncertainty looms over what comes next.
As the State of Israel achieved more international recognition, including peace deals with Arab neighbors, many Israelis saw this recognition as the basis of our rights to the land. They no longer felt a need to rely upon the Bible as the basis of their rights and, thus, of their identity.
