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.
This: Programme brings you two events of the Heart.
Trump's peace plan is being opposed by many here in the region. Tamar's guest, Ted Belman, founder and editor of Israpundit.org tells Tamar that there may be a better plan, called, the 'Jordan Option'. Find out about it on this show.

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. Don't miss, Peace to Prosperity Plan this week on Israel on My Mind.
The Arabs reject the latest do-gooder peace initiative and the winner is Israel! The Torah explains Arab resistance in clear detail. Eerie, magical or, indeed, holy? You decide!
There is never a dull moment in Israel which is a mixed blessing
Orly speaks about the Trump peace plan and the liberation of Auschwitz.
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.
Hear: A comprehensive report from the World Holocaust Forum Held in Jerusalem, attended by 46 World Leaders, Kings Presidents, Princes and Prime Ministers, as well as excepts from some of the speeches.
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. She shares with us about how she had to learn to let go, trust the process and realize that family can be made up of people you aren’t related to by blood. Another incredibly inspiring episode you don't want to miss!
Another misdiagnosis of the homicidal, anti-Jew violence of Muslims
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. Visit his website at: www.KnessetJeremy.com
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. Streets will be closed, parking will be a nightmare, and cars and public transport will need to be re-routed for security reasons in the capital city. Some of the dignitaries expected to arrive are; Russian President Vladimir Putin, U.S. Vice President Mike Pence, the Swedish, Danish, and
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. Another incredibly inspirational episode you don’t want to miss!
A special guest as an INTR Listener, Shoshana and her dog 'Moteck' visit Israel and join us on air. A very inspiring interview!
On the evening of January 7, 2020, Iran’s Revolutionary Guards launched more than a dozen short range ballistic missiles from Iran that hit US coalition bases at Al – Sad and Irbil in Western and Northern Iraq. There were initial unconfirmed reports of possible casualties. Early warning of the attack may have sent both Iraqis, US and other coalition military personnel to safety in bunkers.
The response of American authorities to antisemitism is disappointing

In this: packed programme Walter talks about his resolution for 2020 and the details of the Likud Primaries.
This week Rav Yitzchak is joined by his wife Leah. He continues the discussion started with William last week about rights versus responsibilities. However, in this week's show through the teaching of Rebbe Nachman, Kabbalah, and other sources we see the connection that halakha has to Shabbat and its ability to bring illumination into all of aspects of our lives.
Asara B’Teves, the 10th of Teves, commemorates the beginning of the siege of Jerusalem by the Babylonian ruler Nebuchadnezzar that ultimately culminated with the First Temple’s destruction on the 9th of Av the following year.
The US finally fights back after 40 years, and FOX's Tucker Carlson exposes himself.
As threats are thrown from both sides of the world at each other, both the USA and Iran have chosen their first targets to hit. Who will hit next, and what will the targets be, whether military or cyber-terror? Tamar Yonah's guest, Alan Silver, fills us in on everything.
How can we better understand rituals and their importance. How can we connect to ritual...especially those that we cannot logically comprehend? Where do ritual and faith in G-d meet and why can't one stand without the other.
After the killing of top Iranian player, Quasem Soleimani, Major General of the Islamic Revolutionary Guard Corps, and responsible for military and clandestine extraterritorial operations, the discussion focuses on if a major military conflict will breakout?
On today’s episode of Leap of Faith, Penina speaks with Rachelle Silver who shares the story of her journey from secular Judaism to Torah and how throughout all the challenges in her life, she came to recognize the incredible power of prayer and community. Another inspiring episode you don’t want to miss.
Jews in the U.S. are being targeted daily, assaulted in broad daylight by myriad anti-Semites and the secular Jewish establishment remains, remarkably, silent. Is there a reason for the disunity?

Let's enter the mind of the monster in Monsey. What drives such people?
This week Rabbi Yitzchak and William discuss whether or not we have a right to assert our rights, or whether our faith is based on responsibility and obligation. Judaism has much to teach on this subject, and there is even a connection in the weekly Torah portion of Vayigash. We learn how Yehuda (Judah), the brother of Yosef (Joseph) steps up and takes responsibility, which not only brings restoration to his family, but brings him a legacy of kings.
Can a Chanukah menorah and Christmas tree co-exist under the same roof? What makes a miracle a miracle? And can single-men carrying air-fryers find love on the steaming streets of Tel Aviv? This and more on the Festival of Lights show!
Antisemitism is skyrocketing in the USA and all over the world. Can it be solved, or even quelled? Tamar Yonah speaks with Ron Machol from www.ZachorLegal.org and talks about the efforts being made on 'the books' to try to quell this burst of hatred and violence erupting against peaceful and law-abiding Jews all over the world today.
Light and darkness goes beyond a metaphor for good and evil. Inherent in creation, darkness serves a purpose. Understanding the purpose of darkness enables us to gain deeper meaning to the dark times in our lives. How can we enlighten the darkness in the world and in our lives? How can we adjust our perception to use darkness in a purposeful way so that it's elevated and I am elevated through it?

Rabbi Yitzchak and William discuss how the dreams of Pharoah in the Torah portion of Miketz read on Shabbat Chanukah, cannot only be connected to Chanukah but can teach us to bring down light. We do this in order to thank, praise, acknowledge and know the Creator in order to draw closer to Him. When we do this, Rebbe Nachman teaches us that we can experience a taste of the World to Come!
We give you the REAL story of Chanukah - UNCENSORED! Tamar Yonah speaks with Rabanit Rhonda Attar, who teaches a course on the real story of Chanukah, what we fought against, and what we fought for, and how it has changed the world today! A NOT TO MISS SHOW!
He wasn't an Israeli citizen, and he didn't live in Israel, yet that didn't stop him from being a modern-day Maccabee! Hear some inspiring stories of what it's like enlisting in the Israeli army when you come all alone! Meet Rabbi Ari Abramowitz, Executive Director of Nevut - 'International Lone Soldiers' - Their Mission is Empowering Lone Soldier Veterans to Lead Successful Lives after serving in the Israeli army. A 'Lone' soldier is someone who does not live in Israel, but comes here to serve in the IDF and helps protect Israel. These lone soldiers give up everything, college, career, and marriageable years, to become a modern day Maccabee! You can check out more about Nevut at: www.Nevut.org
Hanukkah & Israel's inability to have good PR.
Tamar talks about a famous article written by Rabbi Meir Kahane z"l in 1972 entitled, 'Down with Chanukah'. In it, he talks about the hypocrisy of non-observant Jews who love celebrating the holiday, which, is actually about the right for Jews to BE Jews and keep the Torah commandments. What is the REAL and DEEPER meaning of this holiday? It's not just spinning a dreidle!
In this episode, your hosts share the Top 20 destinations for 2020 (spoiler alert - Tel Aviv is on the list). They also discuss a recent mishap involving an El Al flight in Las Vegas. It seems that Haifa is dealing with wild hogs, the IAA has a better understanding of old fish sauce, Brazil has joined an exclusive club and Boris Johnson defeats Corbyn. Don't miss Haifa Hogs and Fish Sauce this week on Israel on My Mind!
Antisemitism is the measles of humanity
Rod Reuven Dovid Bryant and Jerry Gordon bring back Dr. Stephen Bryen. Dr. Bryen is a former Reagan era Deputy Undersecretary of Defense for technology security, a noted Military Technologist and Asia Times Columnist.
Antisemitism is alive, spreading, and growing all over the world! Don't be mislead by thinking that Britain's recent elections has beaten antisemitism, and don't think that Trump's signing of some document will eliminate antisemitism in the States. We find out the REAL reason for antisemitism, and we can read about it in the Bible. Hear this fascinating show that gives us an inside peak at the political reality in the West, and also examines the lessons of the Bible.
Hear: How it could have been avoided, but for the excessive ego of some of our politicians who plunged Israel into its third election in less than a year.
What is it like to live in the heart of Liberal-Left Tel Aviv, and espouse 'right wing-conservative views? Actor, Journalist and Israeli Activist, Harel Noff, speaks with Tamar Yonah on the price he has paid being vocal about defending Israel and Jewish values. He is a one-man power-house and youtube star for Israel, and you can watch his videos here: www.youtube.com/watch?v=Bu8OaSUeyZE
Trump loves Israel more than the Dejudaized
In today’s episode Penina speaks with Rabbi Dovid Mark who tells the story of his journey from liberal secular Judaism to torah. During the story he talks about reaching a point where he had to stop grasping for money, trust G-d to provide it and just concentrate on doing what he was created to do. Another inspiring episode of Leap of Faith you don’t want to miss.
Israel will now be going to it's THIRD elections inside of a year. However, no laws have been changed and it's still pretty much the same political parties and politicians that are running. So will it make a difference? The definition of insanity is doing the same thing over and over again, and expecting different results. So is the Israeli election process 'insane'? THIRD ELECTIONS: Will It Bring Us Different Results?
America burns while Israel fiddles! President Trump signs Executive Order designed to criminalize campus brutality against Jewish students and, on cue, the American left, right, plebeians and pundits weigh in on ethnicity, loyalty and likelihood of the next War Against the Jews.
In this week's show, Ross and Jono share some stories about public transportation. Jono informs the listeners about a new direct flight from Australia to Israel. This leads the duo into a discussion about previous trips, including Ross' account of an awkward situation with a seatmate on a previous flight to Israel. Jono describes using the fast train between Jerusalem and the airport. They also report on the defacing of an advertisement on a bus. This and so much more in Planes, Trains, and Buses.
Rod Reuven Dovid Bryant and Jerry Gordon interview Dexter Van Zile, Christian Media Analyst of Boston-based Committee for Accuracy for Middle East Reporting and Analysis (CAMERA). Van Zile gave the latest update on extremist Christian and sinister academic groups fostering anti-Semitism and anti-Zionism - “the likes of which we haven’t seen since Father Coughlin of the 1930’s and Henry Ford.” Top of the list is TruNews, a Vero Beach, Florida church with an antisemitic news podcast and YouTube Channel.

On this week's show Rabbi Yitzchak and William discuss the weekly Torah portion, Vayishlach. It tells the story of Yaakov (Jacob) and the messengers he sent to his brother Eisav (Esau). However, there is a powerful message to be learned about how we are to live in our current exile and the power of the spiritual weapon we possess.
The Trump: Impeachment saga is masochistic self destruction. Walter explains the background.
The "West Bank" proves the non-existence of "Palestinians" and the menace of the disappearing Jews.
It's human nature to believe that we control the world. However, as hard as we may try, the Creator of the universe reminds us that He controls all. As Israel faces a possible third election, possibly even held on the Purim Holiday, it looks like G-d will have the last laugh! So what's really going on in the news that's happening and affecting us all? What lessons do we need to learn, and what do we have to do in order to bring about a pleasant arrival of the Messiah? Rabbi Lazer Brody from www.LazerBrody.net joins Tamar and tells us what we all need to do, and what we might see in the future!

Sign up today for one of these tours while there is still room on the bus!
While the entire world is hungry for real, quality leadership, Israel nonetheless is making huge strides in its Jewish identity and heritage sites.

Rod Reuven Dovid Bryant and Jerry Gordon in Israel News Talk Radio – Beyond the Matrix interviews in November focused on the threat of the Islamic Republic to Israel and other US allies in the Middle East.
This week Rabbi Yitzchak and William discuss Yaakov's (Jacob's) dream of the ladder from earth to heaven and the commentaries that speak about this amazing dream. You will be very surprised to learn that the Talmud and other commentaries bring up the concept of the contraction of the earth, or a supernatural occurrence that allows the distance of travel to be shortened. Something very similar to the scientific concept of time folding in on itself.
Fake news! It's all a distraction, these charges against the U.S President and Israel's Prime Minister. What's really going on that we don't see? Tamar Yonah hashes it out with her guest Professor Francisco Gil-White, as they go head to head about what's really happening behind the scenes!
Hear How: The German Railways were a key element in Hitler’s systematic extermination of Millions. The leading German Rail historian explains their involvement and organisation during the Nazi era and the financial rewards for their business. I'll call you tomorrow.
What would happen if Israel were G-d forbid attacked by Iran and/or its proxies in a multi-front war? Would Israel be able to fend off the missiles, or would its cities be devastated? And what would Israel do to Iran if indeed, it's existence was at the crossroads? Would it be a real doomsday for Iran?
Israel and the West must re-think its way of dealing with Islam.
Two rising stars (or Israeli politicians) on the political scene in Israel are trying to change the policies of Israel. Tamar says one agenda is surprisingly good, while another one is surprisingly bad. Who will get their way to help define the character of Israel?
Thanksgiving is a secular holiday with Jewish religious roots.
American-Israelis celebrate Thanksgiving with their state-side brethren. Ethiopian-Israelis observe Sigd by rededicating themselves to God and Torah. And in a most complex parsha, Jacob and Esau receive very different blessings with everlasting consequences.
