However, in Laya's latest book, "Sisterhood of the Copper Mirrors," she brings the story of the Jewish matriarchs and their great legacy in participating sometimes with holy tears in forging what we know as the Jewish nation.

In this episode, your hosts relate how crazy things have become since last week. Last week's show ended with speculation concerning what was then to be a visit to Israel by Congresswomen Tlaib and Omar. That didn't happen after all and the fallout has been hard to keep up with. Progressives screamed, "I told you so....Israel is an apartheid state." Some conservatives even said Israel played right into the hands of Israel's enemies. As if that wasn't enough, President Trump shared a quote claiming his greatness for the Jews and Israel, and his opponents are having a field day. Is he claiming to be the messiah? The King of the Jews? Has the much anticipated Anti Christ finally been revealed?

Rav Yitzchak and William are joined by Lorelai Kude. Lorelai has over forty years of experience in astrology as it relates to Jewish tradition. Her Master's thesis "Yesh Mazal B'Yisarel," translated as "There is Mazal in Israel," is the answer to the often quoted source by most Jews that there is in fact no mazal or constellation in Israel. Meaning that Jews don't believe in, or shouldn't be involved in astrology. However, there are numerous sources from the sages of Judaism that speak otherwise. This is a fascinating show that will challenge your beliefs on the role of astrology in Judaism specifically, as well as for all the rest of the world.

A new flavor of ice cream for supporters of Bernie Sanders provides progressives with a leftist lick, and a new device for canceling unwanted noise is launched, which your hosts think might help those who are triggered by any noise that doesn't agree with their views.

In this week's show, Ross and Jono share the latest good and bad news out of the UN. It seems that they have taken up the noble cause of finding those countries that abuse the rights of women. The bad news is that Israel was identified as the world's only violator. A Saudi blogger is assaulted on his way to pray at Al Aqsa, Ahmadinejad sets the record straight on his Antisemitism, and the US House of Representatives (or most of them) vote against BDS. A Bedouin stole 1/2 ton of chickpeas, prisoners claimed to be Jewish to get better food, and a weed cafe concerns a certain rabbi.

Tensions escalate after Iran says that they arrested 17 spies for the CIA. However, U.S. President Trump denies Iran's claims.

With a returning punch? -Or a total knock-out blow?
While you were sleeping.... Iran has established military and economic bases across the Americas: South, Central and North America. How do they do this? Through drugs, crime, forgeries, and missile bases pointed towards the USA.
There’s a concept in Judaism called middah k’neged middah. Literally translated it means that one attribute draws another, or more idiomatically, measure for measure.

Listen in to learn some amazing facts about the planet and its connection to this Torah portion.
The next holocaust is a very loaded topic. It is up to us to see the signs, signals, and trends, and then immediately act in earnest! One can't 'beat' or win, against the wave of antisemitism. History has shown us this, and has taught us that the only real way to survive and live in safety is to move, and Israel is the only home for the Jewish People, and the safest place to be. Tamar dishes it out and pleads for her brothers and sisters to see the signs, and realize that not even in the academic world, on college campuses, can a Jew be free.

Palestinians are disappointed with their leadership for reasons that have nothing to do with its inability to destroy Israel
This week Rav Yitzchak and William discuss Parshat Chukat and the incident of Moshe (Moses) striking the rock, rather than speaking to it as commanded by HaShem. Can we find some connections to Kabbalah and the way in which we learn Torah today, and is there a repair for this seemingly great sin that kept Moshe from entering the Land? Listen to hear what the sages of Judaism have to say, and to gain insight into why the apparent argumentative style of Talmudic discourse was all part of the plan.
Do wearing rose-colored glasses and speaking kindly have the power to change people and even nations? Are all prophets created equal? Laughter, Torah, fish-and-chips and more!
Rod Reuven Dovid Bryant and Jerry Gordon bring back Gil Hoffman, pollical analyst and columnist of the Jerusalem Post to assess the political dynamics of the first historic Israeli do-over election on September 17th. The April 9th election failed to result in Bibi forming a ruling coalition because he couldn’t get Avigdor Liberman of Yisrael Beiteinu to join or even Labor party leader Gabbay to join. Hoffman’s bottom line is that it will be hard for Netanyahu to reach the required 61 Knesset seats to form a ruling coalition. There is the reforming of the United Arab -Balad party list with currently 9 seats in the polls to foil a possible ruling coalition.
Were the violent demonstrations by many Ethiopians that closed down the roads across the country really about the death of a 19 year old man? Or is there something more sinister involved? Tamar explains what's REALLY going on.
The Left's alliance with the "Zionism is racism" crowd

On today’s show Penina speaks with Jono Vandor, Host of Israel on My Mind, who will be sharing with us his inspiring journey from Evangelical Christianity to Torah. Jono talks about how his search for truth brought him to see things that he just couldn’t unsee, that once they took ahold of him, he had no choice but to choose a path that conformed with what he saw, no matter where that led. Another inspiring episode of Leap of Faith you don’t want to miss!
