When it comes to faith, we sometimes don’t realize we overstep the balance and push people away from our faith rather than drawing them towards it. Today on Leap of Faith, Penina will be speaking with Rabbi Yitzchak Michaelson, who walked away from his Jewish faith when he was pushed over the edge by that lack of balance, and who will share with us how he came back and what he’s doing to make sure that others don’t get pushed over the edge as well

It's 43 days until Israel will be going to new elections! They will be held on Tuesday, April 9th. How exactly does the Knesset (Israel's Parliament) work?

Israeli Justice minister, Ayelet Shaked, who is very popular among many in Israelis, came out with an astounding statement, that she would be willing to give citizenship 2 half a million Arabs living in Area C.

Also, last week several Arab countries sat down with Israel at the same table in order to fight their common enemy, Iran. This is a historical event. What does it mean?
Have you ever experienced a moment of absolute clarity, where you know without a doubt that you are in the right place, doing what you are supposed to be doing?
When you see injustice and hear about a wrong, what do you do? Some are apathetic, some cry 'for shame' and others take action. How should we respond to the many wrongs that come to our attention?

Is it our responsibility to try and make a difference in the face of the myriad corrupt and unfair proceedings that go on around us?

The Likud and PM Netanyahu have made some impressive strides in promoting Israel and moving Israel forward towards prosperity, but what about the Likud's land give-aways and sticking to its own platform/charter? Gidon Ariel handles himself very well under fire!

To what extent should we take our feelings into account when we make a decision. For small decisions like what I am going to eat for breakfast to much larger decisions like who I am going to marry, how great a role should my feelings about the matter effect my final decision?

Tamar speaks with Shannon Nuszen, a journalist, photographer and Jewish activist about an evening they attended on how to improve Israel's image in the media.

Yet another, a former chief Rabbi of Israel was denied clemency by President Rivlin. Hear about these stories and more in this week's show...
