When leaders behave like brats and celebrity icons declare that "filth is fine," can parents take to regain control and impart values or should they throw in the towel and let MTV raise the kids? And does the Torah have anything to say about Super Bowl Sunday and other miracles?
Orly talks with her guest, Dr. Brandon Shapiro, about being resilient and that the key to fighting off sickness is to first start out with a healthy body and lifestyle.
The recent commemoration of the 75th anniversary of the Liberation of Auschwitz - Birkenau death camp by Russian Forces on January 20, 1945 and the gathering of 50 world leaders at the World Holocaust Forum at Yad Va Shem in Jerusalem brought new focus on the question of why didn’t the allies Bomb Auschwitz? A BBC/PBS documentary, “Bombing Auschwitz” was accused of being a “whitewash” of FDR’s betrayal of the six million European Jewish men, woman and children murdered in unspeakable ways during the Holocaust. Those accusations and more were the comments of a frequent guest on Israel News Talk Radio – Beyond the Matrix, Dr. Rafael Medoff, executive director of the David S. Wyman, Institute of Holocaust Studies. Rod Bryant and Jerry Gordon discussed these issues with Dr. Medoff.
This week Rabbi Yitzchak and William look at two very interesting verses in the book of Exodus related to the pillar of cloud and the pillar of fire. Early on in chapter 13 we see that Hashem goes before the children of Israel in the pillar of cloud, however, in chapter 14 we see that the angel of Elokim is now moving from before the children of Israel in the pillar of cloud to behind the camp. The pillar of fire also moves and now these two pillars separate the camp of Israel from the camp of Egypt after the Egyptians change their minds and come after the children of Israel. Listen to the very interesting discussion from commentaries of the sages to bring light to these verses.

We are told "And you should love the Lord your G-d with all of your heart...." There are times in life when we feel tremendously blessed with our lives and 'loving G-d' can be easy. There are times when we are in pain and struggling with challenges and 'loving G-d' can be difficult. What does it mean to 'Love G-d' and how can I love G-d during difficult times in my life?
The 'Deal of the Century' looks a lot like the Two-State Solution - with some adjustments. But will the same tired idea of 'Land for Peace' formula really work? Will making a PLO state inside the belly of Israel really bring peace? Can Arab-Muslims be 'bought off' by Western money and investments? The business it would bring could bring prosperity to the Arabs in the Palestinian Authority, but is that what the 'really' want? Tamar discusses the issue with her guests:
This week on Israel On My Mind, Jono and Ross discuss the recently released Peace to Prosperity plan. They cover a lot of ground for one show but clarify some of the details and misconceptions of the plan along the way. Ross has spent the past couple of days going through the entire plan in order to grasp the details of the plan. In addition to the content of this show, Ross is posting notes to explain various aspects of the plan on his personal Facebook page and sharing them on the official Israel on My Mind Facebook Page.

Sovereignty, the elections and Trump's peace plan have been destroyed with a single interview, but Israel can still make it happen...
The Tower of Babel worked to break us up into many cultures and languages. However, Isaac Mozeson, author of the book, 'The Origin of Speeches', is showing us the way back to the original language, the one spoken in Eden, which he refers to as 'Edenics'. Tamar reads his dramatic personal story, and then speaks with this fascinating man!
Tamar does an extra, special broadcast examining the Deal of the Century and the ramifications, with guest, Alan Silver.
This week Rabbi Yitzchak and William discuss the connection made in the weekly Torah portion of "Bo" (Come), to crocodiles, the Pharoah of Egypt, and the biblical character of Job. Many of the Jewish sages believe that Job was one of the advisors of Pharoah, who remained silent when Pharoah wanted to kill all the male children of the Hebrew slaves. It is taught that this is the reason he suffered such terrible physical loss.

The Weekend Edition of the Wall Street Journal on January 18-19, 2020 had a provocative essay by controversial Dr. Martin Indyk, currently a distinguished fellow at the Council on Foreign Relations, former Clinton era Ambassador to Israel, State Department Assistant Secretary for Near East Affairs and Obama era Special envoy for Israel- Palestinian negotiations: “The Middle East Isn’t Worth it Anymore”. Indyk’s bottom line was the US has few vital interests at stake in the Region and should set aside its “grandiose ambitions”. Takeaways were “a two-state solution to the Palestinian problem is a vital Israel interest, not a vital American one” and “We should be wary of those who should rush to battle stations on Iran”.
In today’s episode of Leap of Faith, Penina is joined by Erin Shoshana, who shares her incredible journey from growing up in an Episcopal family in Texas to a Torah Observant Jewish woman raising a family in Israel.

THE DEAL OF THE CENTURY OR THE SPIEL OF THE CENTURY? (A spiel is a lengthy, often glib talk that's intended to persuade someone about something.) What will be after Netanyahu meets with Trump and the 'Deal of the Century' is presented?
On this show: Israel's upcoming 3rd elections inside of one year, Naftali Bennett's NEW Right Block, and Trump's 'Deal of the Century'. What does it all mean, and why did the 'right' political parties go so wrong? All this on the show with Jeremy Saltan, Political Strategist, Knesset Insider, and the Tenth candidate in Naftali Bennett's New Right party, and #18 on the Yamina list (the right wing block) for these upcoming elections to the Knesset.

As human beings, we recognize that at times, we have to give up or sacrifice something that we want now for the sake of a larger goal. At times, we are willing to make such sacrifices (example; missing a football game to study for medical boards) and at other times, we may not be willing to give up what would truly lead to our greater happiness and well being (example; that piece of cake that is going to ruin my diet). Why is it at times so hard to give something up that would ultimately lead to our greater happiness and well being? Why is it so hard to make sacrifices now for the sake of a better future?

Why Israel should have nothing to do with it.
Orly is back! Welcoming all the dignitaries that descended upon Israel for the presidents forum on antisemitism.
Hear: How Israel tears itself apart from the inside. Instead of Unity there is division. Personal ego and insults are the order of the day. Gone are the times when politicians worked on the basis of 'My country before me'. Now it's reversed. Demonstrated by the Knesset Member's pay rise, and Netanyahu's immunity application. All that, while according to the OECD we have the highest poverty numbers of all their members. Yet According to Jewish law, we must even feed our animals before ourselves.
Rabbi Yitzchak is once again joined by his wife to discuss the book of Exodus and the importance of names. Often times our names in addition to identifying us, also reveal our characteristics. It is interesting to note that many of the people in the opening stories of Exodus remain nameless. Like Yocheved the mother of Moses and Miriam his sister, as well as the Pharoah. Yet, we see that G-d reveals His Name to Moses in a way that He has never revealed it to anyone else. This show will reveal the importance of our names and more importantly the holiness of the name of G-d.
Why are Jerusalemites gearing up for a traffic nightmare? Because this week, 26 presidents, 4 kings and 4 prime ministers are expected to visit Jerusalem for the "International Holocaust Forum", the largest international event held in Israel.

Tamar gives another talk on the Torah portion from last week, where she shows how even the 'meek' can stand their ground and not be afraid to stand up to the biggest and most powerful people in their lives.
Life is full of ups and downs. Good times and times of challenge. Although we all prefer to 'feel good,' we all have times when we have to grapple with painful emotions. This is a part of everyone's human experience. Is there a perspective that can help us to better handle emotional pain? How should we most effectively face our inner self when it's suffering and challenged with real internal pain?
Tamar explains what is going on as Israel gears up for the upcoming THIRD Elections, -with a focus on the right. Who 'might' she vote for, and who will she 'definitely' not vote for? An in-depth explanation.

After four decades the US has recognized the legality of Israeli settlements
If your enemy says he wants to kill you, believe him! And, yet, many Jews are drawn to causes and leaders who aspire to destroy both Jews and the Jewish state. And why was Moses - modest, speech-impeded, identifiably Egyptian - drawn to fight for the underdog? What does it take to defy authority and, indeed, 'become' a Moses?
In my opinion: The main event of the week was not just Netanyahu, but the conference discussing the Pompeo Doctrine regarding the legality of Israeli settlements in Judea and Samaria to which I have devoted a large part of this programme.
For months, we at Israel News Talk Radio – Beyond the Matrix had asked why the Trump Administration hadn’t developed a strategy to confront Iran’s jihadi regime? This was after Iran downed a US reconnaissance drone and launched a drone and cruise missile attack crippling Saudi Arabia’s oil processing and storage facilities.
Rabbi Yitzchak is joined once again by his wife Leah as they discuss the connections made regarding exile and redemption in the Torah portion Vayechi read last week, and the Torah portion of Shemot which starts this week. The connections are made between Yaakov (Jacob), Yosef (Joseph) and Moshe (Moses), as it relates to the beginning of the exile in Egypt and the concept of redemption. Not just the physical redemption of the children of Israel, but the spiritual component that is even relevant today.
Is the tension between Iran and the US really fake news? Is it all 'staged' so a deeper and more secret agenda can move forward?
Is it G-d’s desire that everyone eventually convert to Judaism? Or is there another way? On today’s episode of Leap of Faith, Penina speaks with Shara Chabakji, who shares her journey from Christianity to the seven mitzvot b’nei Noach and the revelation that changed her life.
