With all the rioting and protests going on today, we may be seeing even MORE violence, -but not in America. Take a look across the pond, to northern Africa and the Middle East. Libya, Turkey and Egypt are all embroiled in a power struggle that looks like there could be war. Libya's UN-recognized Government of National Accord (GNA), and Turkish imperialism and interests, claim that Egypt's military threat is a 'declaration of war'. Egypt sees a threat to it's own border with Libya and the Turks, and have threatened a 'direct' intervention in Libya if necessary in order to protect its porous border. What will be, and how will it affect us all?
The "Deal of the Century" is Oslo 2.0

How far will some Jews kowtow to be part of the crowd, even when said crowd calls for a Judenrein society as well as the destruction of the Jewish state? Void of the accompanying dignity that comes with observance and continual study, Jewish lemmings race headfirst into a sea of sycophancy.
So many of us are weighed down in life due to carrying excess emotional baggage. We may have been carrying the weight of negative emotions for so long that we may not even be able to identify the source of our load so we can more easily let it go. We may know exactly why we are carrying around emotional baggage and see how it's damaging us and our relationships, but still can't let it go. Why is this? How can we break free from emotional baggage that is holding us back from being the best version of self and fly forward towards the healthy, happy me!
Well, with US President Donald Trump's 'Deal of the Century' Peace Plan, which is the same formula as the failed 'two state solution' and goes against the Bible, and the fact Mahmoud Abbas has already refused and rejected it, this plan has no where to go.

How does one live life forward in the face of challenge, tragedy or illness? What are the tools and perspectives of women who stay strong in spite of the pain of their circumstances?
The Zohar on Behaalotecha the Torah portion describing the Aaron the High Priest ascending to light the Menorah (Lampstand) starts out speaking about the fires of illumination. However, it soon speaks about Noah's Ark and the concept of judgment related to Yom HaDin (Rosh Hashana), the Jewish New Year. There is an interesting connection and distinction to be made based on what we learn in this Torah portion related to the destructive fires that are burning around the world. Fire can be positive or negative depending on one's perspective. What is your perspective?
Albert Einstein: Was right. Our politics are insane. We have not learned from Moshe Dayan’s inexcusable error and the consequences today. The skills of a General do not lend themselves to diplomacy.

To what extent are the events in our life a result of choices that we have made or determined by G-d as a part of His divine plan? This is a huge question that is important to think about not only on a philosophical level, but in the way it practically affects our lives and our well-being. Understanding the answer to this question is the secret to inner peace.

The next few months will be among the most important in the history of the Jewish People
Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu has been meeting with leaders of the Yesha Council in an attempt to resolve disagreements over the proposed map outlining the borders of a prospective Palestinian state. Netanyahu’s efforts come among stark interim opposition to the U.S. peace plan, by some settler leaders, led by David Elhayani, Yesha Council Chairman, and head of the Jordan Valley Regional Council. More moderate settler leaders, such as Efrat mayor Oded Revivi, back the U.S. vision and support the fresh unity government, in the Jerusalem Post’s recent article “Trump’s Peace Plan Pits Settler Ideologues against Pragmatists,” which captures this tension. Defense Minister Benny Gantz has instructed the IDF to prepare for the application of Israeli sovereignty beginning July 1, 2020. The Western media and many in the EU are “anguishing’ over this prospect.
Orly interviews Lotem Finkelstien from Check-Point about the impotence of cyber security and to not put yourself in a vulnerable situation online.
Many say that we are living in the Messianic era. Tamar's guest, Lowell Joseph Gallin, Biblical Researcher and Founder of the Root and Branch Association, joins Tamar and talks about the Messianic era. He speaks about the latest world events, the Messiah ben Yosef and the Messiah ben David, what their jobs are, and perhaps most interestingly, that the Messiah ben David will soon be emerging on the scene and restoring the Davidic Monarchy to our modern world. This is a fascinating show, that at the very least, stretches the mind to consider what he says MAY be happening today. Check out his new talk show on youtube called, "Dark to Light from Jerusalem" which he co-hosts monthly with Hollywood star, Rosanne Barr at: www.youtube.com/user/roseanneworld/
Rabbi Yitzchak and William discuss concepts discussed by the sages of Judaism about the process of redemption and the footprints or footsteps of Messiah. In this turbulent world it is easy to lose focus. To simply be distracted by the numerous voices and the barking of dogs. However, everything has to play out in a certain way. The question is whether or not there is something we can do about it? Listen in to learn more.
What is a 'Pidyon HaBen' and why do we have to 'buy' our first born male babies back from a Priest? Also, why are many secular Jews Liberals? Tamar speaks with Rabbi Avraham Shira, who is a Therapist, Teacher, and Author. You can visit his website at: AvrahamShira.com
The Deal of the Century exposed as grievously defective.
Both the streets and the international arena are heating up. Throw on top of that a world-wide pandemic. Is War On the Horizon?
This may sound counter-intuitive, but if you want to make drastic change in your life, you need to admit that you are powerless. Only a power greater than yourself can help you. That power is G-d!
On Shavuous we re-commit, re- 'convert' and re-receive the Torah. The ultimate marriage of both custom and commandment and a deeper understanding of the Book of Ruth. Whew!

This week in preparation for Shavuot our team speaks about the weekly Torah portion of Naso. How we are to understand the ritual of the Sotah, the woman suspected of committing adultery and the juxtaposition of the Nazir. The Nazirite who takes a vow to refrain from drinking wine or having anything made from grapes. Rabbi Yitzchak and William speak about both of these concepts connecting back to the sin in the Garden of Eden, and how all this relates to our own preparation for the reception of the holy Torah on Shavuot.
What really happened at Mount Sinai? What lessons do we have to learn from angels, lies, and other fake news? Tamar Yonah speaks with Rabbi Avraham Shira, about Jewish mysticism, the story of Shavuot, and the fake news that leads people the wrong way from pandemics to idol worshipping.

If Convicted, How Long Could Netanyahu Serve?
Shavuot is the holiday when we celebrate the giving of the Torah. The Torah includes many rules and restrictions according to which we are expected to live our lives. Why do we celebrate a life of commands and responsibility?

"The Temple Mount is in our hands!" Saluting the eternal capital of the Jewish people, Andrea reflects upon Jerusalem's reunification.
Orly also explains the impotence of the Temple Mount and criticizes PM Benjamin Netanyahus decision to close the Mount only to Jews.
here is a burgeoning economic cold war between China and the US during the COVID-19 Pandemic. It is triggered by accusations of a coverup of the breakout of deadly virus with over 90,000 fatalities and massive negative economic impacts on employment and growth. Then there are accusations of theft of an estimated $6 trillion dollars of US Intellectual Property rights by the Xi-Ping Communist regime in Beijing. There are proposals for sanctions and possible suits for damages in proposed legislation introduced by US Senators Rand Paul and Lindsey Graham. They will likely come a cropper because of US courts granting sovereign immunity to China.
Howie feels that since Abbas has unilaterally cancelled all peace deals with Israel, including the Oslo Accords, Israel should consider the deals cancelled and should hold the PLO accountable for their actions.
Many are predicting that with the end of the lockdowns, we will see a possible round 2 of the coronavirus. If that happens, what should we be doing now, with this 'window of opportunity' as stores and businesses re-open? Also, are Jews living outside of Israel living on borrowed time? Joshua Wander, Founder of www.BringThemHome.org.il joins Tamar and explains the challenges we may face including food shortages, unemployment, power outages, the lack of ability to communicate with our phones or the internet, and our lack of knowledge on knowing generally how to survive.
Jews have rights too, ya know, but they never demand them.
The 35th Knesset sees Binyamin Netanyahu sworn in as Prime Minister for the fifth time! But will anything change, or will his new left-wing partner Benny Gantz pull him over to the Left? What about sovereignty in Judea & Samaria? And will the economic crisis from the coronavirus have any influence on how long this new government will last? Tamar speaks with Alan Silver from 'A. Silver News', the news that the world is not told!
Israel has a new government, and the right wing Yamina party is not in it. With Netanyahu working with the Gantz's Left-leaning party, how long will a government like that last?
On today’s leap of faith, Penina speaks with William Hall, former Evangelical and Messianic Pastor and Creator and Host of Tenak Talk, whose exploration of the Tenach in its original Hebrew turned his life upside down as he discovered that things didn’t actually mean what he had always thought they meant.
One of the most important components of inner well being and healthy relationships is having proper boundaries. When a relationship of any kind is thriving, it likely has healthy boundaries. When a relationship is struggling, it's boundaries likely need to be re-assessed. How can one go about setting strong, balanced and healthy boundaries? This is an essential question that needs to be evaluated throughout the life of any relationship.

Having a relationship with G-d is so important. Yet, since we don't hear G-d, or see G-d, how can we cultivate a real sense of connection to our creator? As it turns out, we can hear and see G-d and even feel G-d, but doing so requires our developing our senses to G-ds frequency. How? Listen to Soul Talk with Rabbi David Aaron and Leora Mandel to learn how to Make G-d Real in Such Unreal Times.
The Yamina party under Naftali Bennet and Ayelet Shaked have stated that they may be going to the opposition since PM Netanyahu made an agreement with the Left under Benny Gantz, most likely handing over the Defense and Justice ministries, to the Left, which the Yamina heads have been heading until now. This conflict over control of ministries has most likely brought the Yamina party's decision to opt out of the Netanyahu/Gantz government. "Yamina will prepare for the day after Netanyahu, which will come in a year and a half, and produce from the opposition a real alternative: a right that is not ready to sell the justice system to the left for personal survival". So who is right? PM Netanyahu and his partnership with the Left, or Yamina, and their threat not to sit in this type of government?
Israel is a pioneer in many fields including how a nation can live without a government
Does one have to be rich, religious, nationalistic and/or educated to come home to Israel? Aliyah is for ALL Jews from ALL lands. Rough-hewn and flawed, Israel is only 72 years young and waiting for YOU to come home and be counted.
Orly talks to Anat Gissin and Raanan Gissin about the current Israeli government. she also explains the challenges we face together facing the corona virus threat. Orly also prays for america and better leadership for Israel

The US now has over 1.2 million cases and 72,256 deaths attributable to the novel coronavirus with its spikes of deadly proteins. Israel has 16,289 infected and 238 deaths. The US Departments of Homeland Security and Health and Human Services has made US projections that by June 2020, an estimated 200,000 cases may double the level of fatalities from 1,750 daily currently to over 3,000. Dr. Anthony Fauci of the US National Institute of Infectious Diseases warns that there could be a ‘second wave’ coming this fall. Joint US and UK researcher allege in preliminary research that the novel coronavirus could mutate making it more contagious.
In the age of Coronavirus there seems to be an abundance of conspiracy theories arising. Rabbi Yitzchak discuss how this correlates to what we learn in Torah. The discussion then shifts to a perceived contradiction or paradox that exists, which is related to the free will of man versus the foreknowledge of G-d. Our hosts try to find a center point between extremes to try and resolve these contradictions.
Is this (real) Pandemic Being Used as a 'Tool' To Control Us?
Dr. Martin Sherman, Founder and Director of the Israeli Institute for Strategic Studies www.strategic-israel.org , joins Tamar Yonah and explains what the Israeli public can expect regarding the Coronavirus, and the Supreme Court's examination on whether Netanyahu must step down, and what can happen if they deem this so!
Is there a possibility of a coming breakup of the United States?
Life, especially now, is full of uncertainties. So much feels like it's out of our control. To what degree can we be happy in the face of circumstances that include fear, pain and so many unknowns? The choices that we make, especially now, are crucial to determining our joy. How to make choices that turn challenge into opportunity can be learned and is truly empowering.
With loosening restrictions, many non-essential business owners are opening shop. Does the government know something the population doesn't? Or are we playing Russian Roulette for the sake of a teetering economy?
If Israel is planning to annex the Jordan Valley, the window of opportunity is only from now until the American election in November

To celebrate or not to celebrate, that is the question. Howie wonders if he should be celebrating the Independence of The State of Israel...
There is a coalition agreement between PM Netanyahu & Benny Gantz, and some Israelis are saying that this agreement is the most corrupt coalition agreement in Israeli history! In addition, the designation of ministerial portfolios could collapse the deal, and the supreme court can also step in and press its power. How could this bring Israelis to a 4th election inside of two years?
What was it like being a teenager during Israel's War of Independence in 1948, when soldiers from five Arab countries come to annihilate you after a United Nations vote to partition the former British Palestine Mandate into a 'Two State Solution' with an Arab state and a Jewish state? Tamar interviews Ben-Tzion & Chavula Hefter, and Shabtai Katz, all who lived through, and fought through these dangerous and tumultuous times! This interview was originally recorded in the early 2000's.
Imagine this: It’s the Yom Kippur War in 1973. You are a tank commander in a small group with 6 other IDF tanks, battling over 100 invading tanks from Syria. You are outnumbered, and finally fall to their fire-power. Wounded, you open your eyes and find out you are surrounded by the enemy. What now?
The neurotic, bipolar, homicidal enmity of the anti-Jew.
This Shabbat we read the double Torah portion of Acharei Mot and Kedoshim. The first portion deals with instructions for Aaron the High Priest after the death of his sons. He is given instructions for the Yom Kippur (Day of Atonement) service and then we have a seeming disconnect when a long list of prohibited sexual relationships are given. Can we find a connection between the High Priest, these prohibited acts, and a command to be holy? Listen in as Rav Yitzchak and William discuss the thread that ties them all together, as we all strive toward holiness.
Staying inside has been mandated but attitude is all about choice. How we endure our respective quarantines reveals much about how we'll'reemerge' at the end of the ordeal. Whom among us will hold on to disappointments and expectations and who will dedicate their lives to joy and outreach?
The financial loss of the Zionist youth movements may have permanent repercussions
Orly talks about the new Israeli government and corona virus. Orly also speaks to Dr Brandon Shapiro about resilience in this hard time. Orly tells us a unknown story about Jonathan from the bible.
As of April 20, 220, Global COVID-19 infected cases have risen to 2,529,150 and fatalities reached 174,578. The US had 803,018 cases and 43,558 deaths due to the coronavirus. While Israel had 13,883 and 181 deaths There are disputes as to whether the social distancing mitigation has reached the point where gradual phased releases from confinement may shortly be feasible given the drop in new cases indicating plateauing may have been achieved in the major US infected states and hot spots.
On this show, we talk about before the coronavirus, new corona updates, economic developments, ...and a light touch on politics - here in Israel and abroad.
Rabbi Yitzchak is on his own this week talking about the double Torah portion of Tazria and Metzora. In these Torah portions we learn about a woman's purification from giving birth and the Metzora, or someone who is afflicted with the skin condition known as "Tzaraat," which is often translated as leprosy. The teachings of the Jewish Sages and Kabbalah offer a different perspective on these issues, and might change your perspective as it relates to our age of Coronavirus.
Holocaust Martyrs' and Heroes' Remembrance Day - honoring the 6 million men, women, children and babies that perished, and learning the important lessons from that time, to this time.

Uzi Dayan served as head of Central Command, Deputy Chief of Staff, and headed the Israeli National Security Council (2003–2005). He was a member and later head of an elite commando unit that reportedly made eight to ten attempts to assassinate Yasser Arafat. What does he think of Bibi, and does he think Bibi will be able to form a new government?
He was called “Lampshade” for criticizing the lurid anti-Semitic paintings of Italian Catholic painter Giovanni Gasparro. In a painting produced recently, at the end of 2019 and beginning of 2020, Gasparro depicted the fraudulent “blood libel” ritual murder of Christian baby Simon of Trent that triggered the 1475 murder of 15 Jews. He posted images of his work on the internet during the Coronavirus Pandemic of 2020. The target of this internet attack was Dexter Van Zile, Shillman Research Fellow for Boston-based Committee for Accuracy in Middle East Reporting and Analysis (CAMERA).
Jewish tradition should enable us to meet this new and unexpected challenge
We are all locked in, all searching for answers to what has put us into this new reality. Many of us are looking to our spiritual leaders for guidance, instruction and understanding. What should our leadership be telling us?
The Arab-Muslim mind and the impossibility of peace.
Corona is swallowing companies, some with huge bank loans. In fear of financial loss, banks may be calling in their loans and and if they can't pay up, swallowing these companies, including huge oil and fuel companies, Where does that leave us, the 'little people'?
