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!

The US finally fights back after 40 years, and FOX's Tucker Carlson exposes himself.

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?

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.

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?

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!

Antisemitism is alive, spreading, and growing all over the world!

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?

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!

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!

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.
This week Rav Yitzchak and William discuss the weekly Torah portion where we read the story of a supposed deception played out when Rebecca convinces her son to fool his father who is about to give a blessing to Esau. Does this raise any ethical questions, and how does it relate to our struggle and the consequences we experience in life?

What now in Israeli politics? Will they actually indict PM Netanyahu? Will the Likud have primaries, and will a new leader be chosen? Will we go to third elections in spite of everything? Does the State of Israel have to be attacked before the Nation of Israel can usher in the Messiah? How could a scenario like this happen?
Once again, the mandate to form a government returns and Israel plods along like a motherless ship. New elections loom on the horizon while the left-and-right duke it out. Kingmaker-apparent, Avigdor Liberman, addsfuel to the fire of verbal fisticuffs.

Rav Yitzchak and William address the concept of Ger Toshav (Resident Alien) from the weekly Torah portion of Chayei Sarah. There has been so much controversy over this term and it is time for people to just learn what it means, who it is speaking about, and if it is something that applies today?
