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? How is it that smaller parties can MERGE with larger ones to make a union, and then dissolve themselves from this union they made, after they are elected into the Knesset?

Well, Tamar Yonah and her guest, Michael Cohen, a veteran military, political and security strategist, from MCohen.US explain Israeli politics to you so you can understand just how things work!
Israel 'launched' a bunch of things last week; a spacecraft to the moon, and two big political mergers.

All of a sudden what you thought about someone or something looks completely different? On today’s episode of Leap of Faith, Penina will be speaking with Kenreanne Davis, a woman who suddenly saw a verse she had read a million times, in a completely different light and it turned her world upside down.
In France and the United States antisemitism is out from under the rug and has gone mainstream
Have Jews - both in Israel and the Diaspora - lost their moral compass? Worshiping at the feet of those who abhor traditional values, too many scurry for acceptance in lieu of Torah's eternal blueprint for ethical, meaningful existence.
A young Jewish woman is brutally murdered in Israel, where are the strong Jews? Synagogue desecration, cemeteries attacked, where are the strong Jews? The silence from the Jewish Community is deafening...

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. What is Area C, and what would giving half a million Arabs citizenship mean to Israel and it's security? 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? Many get frustrated when they try to make a change for the good, and feel that their efforts were in vain as little change takes place. 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?

Fascinating interview as Tamar Yonah speaks with Dr. Adalbert Lallier, a man who describes what it was like when the Nazis invaded Hungary and forcefully drafted him and his brother into the German military of the Third Reich. The killings, murders, rapes and atrocities of war that he witnessed, propelled him to do something that was quite unexpected! Hear this first-person historical account of someone who served under the Nazi regime, and now wants to speak to Israelis and Jews about what really happened, and what he is doing about it now.
Israel needs to reboot its treatment of its Muslim murderers and their families
Transparency and Truth, VS. Sensitivity and Pain Avoidance. The government has put a gag order on the more ugly details of the murder, and we ask the question, what is more important, truth and transparency, or do we refrain from sharing these details in sensitivity to the surviving family members and any police investigation?

In this fast-paced conversation interspersed with banter, we address the conundrum of Trump’s withdrawal from Syria and Afghanistan, truculent relations with the US intelligence community over threats from Iran, North Korea and Turkey to the Kurds in Syria and Israel. We noted the comment of Lenny Ben-David former high ranking diplomat with the Israeli Embassy in Washington, now with the JCPA in a recent Jerusalem Post commentary on this issue saying: "[Secretary of State Mike] Pompeo and [National Security Adviser John] Bolton [who both recently met with Netanyahu] see the need for U.S. troops to be in Syria, period”

While Rav Yitzchak and William try their hand at singing, the show is not about the famous song. Last week we discussed the four stages of Divine Providence, and this week we discuss the four levels of Love related to our connection to the Creator. You will need these tools to learn how to draw closer to and cleave to G-D!
And : Rabbi Shmulie Boteach arranged a meeting to discuss 'The Global Battle For Israel's Good Name' with several famous personalities including Rosanne Barr and Uri Geller. Unfortunately both had few positive ideas to contribute. Also on the platform were the ex-spokesperson of the Pentagon Dana Whyte who quit with US Defense Secretary John Mathis - and Seth Franzman the Op-Ed editor of the Jerusalem Post, who both saved the day!
Tamar's guest, Rivka Malka Pearlman is an icon. She makes videos on youtube, and talks about everything from her near death experience, to fashion, to the redemption or Messianic era (Geula), and she talks about 'royalty', female modesty and how to dress. She has 8 children, yet looks like a queen. How does this orthodox Jewish woman do it all? Check out her website at: www.RIvkaMalka.com & www.GeulaGathering.com

How can we improve Israel's image in the world? Tamar invites on again journalist and Jewish activist, Shannon Nuszen, who weighs in on a conference that was held last week in Jerusalem on how best to promote Israel in the media. Also, should you vote for the LIKUD? Tamar invites on Gidon Ariel, a delegate to the Likud Party Central Committee, and grills him on the issue. 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!
Have you ever been so hungry, you’d consider looking in the garbage can for food? In today's segment Penina talks with author Bracha Goetz who talks about her own search for spiritual nourishment.
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? My mind and heart are generally the two parts of myself that I consult in any decision. Should one take a primary role over the other or do both get equal weight?
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. Tamar also weighs in on the topic and will continue the interview with Shannon on her next show. Connect with Shannon at: www.facebook.com/shannon.nuszen
Jono and Ross discuss several stories that are in the news this week which involve rabbis who "behave in ways that are not expected." Will the Messiah appear before the Israeli elections of April 9th? At least one rabbi has made the claim. Another claims he can raise the dead.....for a fee of $5,000. 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...

80 years ago, they yelled to boycott the Jews, and then to kill the Jews, and they did. Today, they are smarter and are re-marketing their genocide-call to say 'kill the ZIONISTS' or Israelis.
Jealousy is a natural human trait that ultimately hurts us more than those of whom we are jealous. How can we get to the very root of our jealousy, our thinking, and create a perspective on life that will keep us mindful of our own blessings and happy for the blessings of others?
Two weeks ago my husband Pinchas lost his father and we are currently in the US for the funeral and visiting with his family.

He was a knesset member while in the Likud party some years ago, and is now running again for the Knesset with ZEHUT.

She's Israel's fault. Really.
There is an innate need in every person to feel good about themselves. Why is it that for some, feeling good comes at the expense of putting someone else down. The higher road that leads to longer lasting feelings of real self-worth come from doing good for others. Raising another up through kindness and compassion are the true source of internal strength and self-worth. How can we help ourselves...and others choose the higher road.

"Deal of the Century"? Worth less than the paper upon which it was written, the American president joins the conga-line of do-gooders who aspire to appease unappeasable Arabs; Also, Mahmoud Abbas named Chairman of UN Group 77 & China, largest bloc of member states.

Why are Jewish communities in Judea & Samaria still under contention? Recently, Prime Minister Netanyahu said that he wouldn't destroy any more settlements, however, just this last week two structures in Amona, a small community north of Jerusalem, were bulldozed down.

During our journey of life we will go through varying degrees of painful to tragic circumstances. There are many life situations that we have not chosen, yet, whose effects can be very challenging. How do we find purpose and meaning within the challenge? How do we choose mission over misery?
Israeli politics can be confusing. Israel's parliamentary members can jump ship, and go from one political party to another political party, OR, they even create a NEW political party. So much movement reminds one of the game, Musical Chairs.
