A formerly cooperative relationship now fraught with disagreement
By Ariela Davis
Since our aliyah, my husband, who was a pulpit rabbi in America, gets constant calls from rabbis and principals in America who are considering aliyah. Many have since arrived. Some are still figuring out how to make it work. But it seems there is scarcely a Jewish leader in America who doesn’t have aliyah in the back of his or her mind.
"Any aid to Hamas must be conditioned with disarming its forces and returning all hostages"
The distinction between Hamas and “ordinary” Palestinians is largely spurious.

Within weeks, many people completely forgot about October 7, as if it somehow never happened, and began focusing exclusively on the plight of Gazan civilians,
I would also be remiss not giving a shout out to the myriad Jews who are going on missions to Israel, attending rallies, donating funds, advocating on social media, picking vegetables, cleaning hospitals, etc.
It’s incumbent on parents and educators to take a more proactive approach in shielding children from triggering images and educating them about responsible media consumption.
I offered to coach her through her fear, if she wanted, but she declined. I shook my head in disbelief. I have managed very well without waterskiing for the last 52 years, but how on earth do you live without going on elevators?
There are two that would seem to me to be exactly on point, that should be better known. I hope that you will consider adding them to your daily tefillah, and perhaps suggest them for the congregation with whom you daven.

10:00 a.m.: You try to use your USB thumb drive on your computer. No go. Thumb drives (a.k.a. flash drives or memory sticks) were invented by Dov Moran at Msystems, and acquired by SanDisk.
Along with the initial, existential shock, a miracle occurred: The vicious and vociferous arguments were seemingly set aside. The mutual hostility and suspicion seemingly disappeared.
By Bassam Tawil
By ignoring the profound suffering of the Palestinians in Syria and Lebanon, these self-proclaimed "pro-Palestinian" activists and groups are once again proving that their goal is not to help Palestinians, but only to make Israel into a pariah state.
Hizbullah ties its attacks on Israel with the Gaza war
Few know his name, but John Dalberg-Acton, otherwise known as Lord Acton, gave us insight and a warning that millions of people recite, perhaps now than ever. A British historian, politician, and writer from the 1800s, he told posterity, "Power tends to corrupt, and absolute power corrupts absolutely." Today we are faced with centers of […]
Recent developments indicate a significant departure from Hamas's previous policy of restricting its actions to "occupied Palestine."
This leads us to consider a military solution to the problem with Hezbollah. Simply put, the IDF will have to fight and defeat them
By Jewish News Syndicate (JNS)
As we wonder how so many western liberals have been drafted into the patently un-liberal cause of Hamas, we must recognize that a significant part of the problem is that Jews and our allies have been too passive.
The international press in Israel had become less an observer of the conflict than a player in it. It had moved away from careful explanation and toward a kind of political character assassination on behalf of the side it identified as being right
The storms of change are raging around us. The current is getting stronger and stronger and sweeping more and more people away. The only way to stay safe, and remain true to our values, our traditions and our obligations, is to make a commitment to not only hold on to Torah, but to demonstrate a willingness to swim upstream at times, to go against the tide, to dare to be different and to be willing to stand out.

The French writer Emile Zola penned a newspaper article in 1898 in which he called out his government for its mishandling of the Dreyfus Affair. The article, entitled “J'Accuse!” (I accuse!), served as a wake-up call for people to see the blatant anti-Semitism that was masquerading as a military trial. Today too we see Anti-Semitism […]

As the Biden administration doubtless knows, replacing Hamas with the PA will change nothing in the Gaza Strip.
Will Sinwar leave Gaza to fight another day or go down in a blaze of glory?

Israel’s Ethiopian community is about 180,000 strong. Exiled from Judea before the Second Temple, and before Rabbinic Judaism, the Jews of Ethiopia suffered religious persecution, forced migration, forced conversion, and horrific trials before they could make aliyah to Israel.
So, the seeds of Jew hatred lie in the belief of our enemies, from Sefer Shemot, that we witnessed G-d as a people. But the story of Sefer Shemot also provides us with hope.

Without even getting into the Congressional testimony of Harvard’s president, Claudine Gay, on genocide against Jews or her scholarship, or lack of it (against the scholarship of scholars she allegedly plagiarized), this article will focus on the students at Harvard who may still be among the best and the brightest.
So when you watch an anti-Israel demonstration on television, please understand who is behind it and what are their ultimate goals, because the next target is American democracy -- and you.
Teaching positions are a privilege, NOT an entitlement.
Another case of the pendulum swinging in the opposite direction concerns the United Nations and diplomacy in general
This beautiful soul was killed because of a war started by a Palestinian society that produced and still supports Hamas — which seeks not to build and celebrate life, but to destroy it.
Accordingly, the Hamas Massacre has taken “Two-State” off the table, even if Biden and Harvard students don’t know yet, and Israel can and must continue populating Judea and Samaria to one million in the immediate months ahead
Rather than addressing the causes of the conflict, the US and West do not seriously confront the Arabs about incitement against Israeli citizens in their schools, mosques and media and do not hold them accountable for continuing to provide financial support to families of convicted terrorists who are either incarcerated in Israeli prisons or who have died while murdering Israelis. Instead, they blame Israel for intransigence
We are a people of life. We do not support martyrdom. Needlessly endangering a life is considered a serious sin. Saving a life is the paramount act, one that supersedes everything else.
Imagine craving a hug, not from you, but from hundreds, thousands of strangers online. Every like is a pat on the back, every follower is a whispered you're okay. Social media is this crazy dopamine machine, feeding on my insecurities and making me chase validation.
While the gaping wounds caused by their deaths will never truly be healed, the fallen heroes of this war still live!
By Nathan Lewin

By Justin Amler
the UN — whose ideals are supposed to shine like a beacon of light in a murky world — was nowhere to be seen and nowhere to be heard in solidarity with Israel.
It seems that even in the United States, where Jews were once safe those times may also be coming to an end.
The same leftists who maligned whites have now turned on the Jews. When whites were being denigrated, many Jewish leftists either supported the attacks or acquiesced to them. Now these Jews are being included among the “oppressors,” which is the same genocidal hatred that was exhibited in the George Floyd riots.
And still, it can now be stated clearly, the IDF is winning its war in Gaza. In the course of the past two weeks, the signs have become increasingly clear.
Three or Four, Now That's More Realistic
The "DEI" bureaucracies in U.S. colleges are failing to protect Jewish students from a wave of antisemitism. The right reaction is to recognize how pernicious they are, not to plead that Jewish students too are "oppressed."
By Ben Shapiro

How do you take a teacher, a doctor, a plumber, and a student and turn them into an army?... In particular, how do you do this when just a few weeks earlier they were marching against each other in opposing factions down the streets of Tel Aviv and Jerusalem?
Certainly, the masterminds behind this movement understood that students are easily beckoned by social causes that make them feel empowered. By defending the rights of those they feel are less fortunate, they assuage their guilty conscience for enjoying the middle-class comforts that others do not.
Perhaps Joseph recognizes he has an opportunity to help create a different future, one where the brothers will learn to live together in peace and harmony, and where Yaakov will be blessed to once again be surrounded by all of his sons living and working together towards a better future.
No one can deny that the tragic, brutal, genocidal massacre of innocent Jews on Shabbat Simchat Torah brought about at least a temporary ceasefire in the multi-level conflict in Israel – left vs. right, secular vs. religious, Ashkenazim vs. Sephardim.
It creates divisiveness on campuses that makes Jewish students and faculty fearful for their safety when their university president seems unwilling to apply the same standard to those who advocate genocide against Jews as they surely would against anyone who advocated genocide against Blacks or the raping of women or the shooting of gay and transgender people.

“No one knows more about being pushed off land than the Jews,” he said. “Including being kicked out of almost every Arab country they once lived in.”
By Bassam Tawil
