The Unthinkable Things Inside and Under Gazan Hospitals
The other day, I was reading my grandson the Dr. Seuss classic, “In a People House.” It was a needed respite for me, a break from incessantly following the news of the war in Israel, albeit that the Red Alert app on my phone sounded throughout, indicating continued rocket fire from Hamas terrorists in Gaza …

2 Radically Different Perspectives on Preserving Life
On Oct. 16, I had an appointment at Jerusalem’s Shaare Zedek hospital. There are many places in which one observes the peaceful and respectful interaction between Jews and Arabs throughout Israel, but none more than in a hospital, and no hospitals more than a Jerusalem hospital. Reflecting not just the demographic that 20% of Israel’s …

This is Not the Time for Ambiguity About Islamic Terrorism
During its inhuman assault and massacre of Israelis on Oct. 7, leaving more than 1,400 dead, and thousands injured, Hamas also kidnapped an estimated 240 people and took them back to Gaza to imprison them. Laying bare the lie of their being “freedom fighters,” or being for a Palestinian state or anything else, what’s clear—and …

You’re Fired, ‘Prophet’, and You Know Why
If you’re following the war against Hamas now, you’re likely bombarded by news of suffering of Palestinian Arabs, almost as much as we have been bombarded by Palestinian Arabs’ rockets. Much of this is fake news, perpetrated by Hamas and other Arab/Islamic terror groups using images and “statistics” of “suffering” to play to your sensibility. …

If You’re Pro-Life, Does That Mean You’re Anti-Hamas?
If you’re concerned about the murder of babies in the womb, you need to be concerned about the murder of babies after they are born. This past week in Israel we have seen a gruesome evil massacre of over 1,400 people, including men, women and children, in some cases entire families and in some cases, …

Should You Ever Believe the ‘Word’ of a Terrorist?
Watching the war unfold against Hamas, a terrorist subsidiary of Iran, an ideological clone of the Muslim Brotherhood, there are many questions. One that’s been burning for me is when in the context of this war, or ever, to actually believe Hamas and Islamic terrorists in general. The short answer is believe them when they …

Israelis Finding Ways to Smile in the Middle of a Horrific War
I’m still processing all the incredible things that happened this week. Thanks to my good friend David Nekrutman of the Isaiah Projects, who spearheaded an incredible initiative to relocate and care for the needs of scores of people evacuated from the Gaza area, and my good friend, Jeffrey Mark, owner of J. Mark Interiors, who …

The Ethical, Essential and Imperative yet Mythical Blockade of Gaza
Days after more than 1,300 people in Israel were slaughtered in the most vulgar way—men, women, elderly, entire families, children and babies raped, burned alive, brutally tortured, beheaded and impaled—the world has started to complain about Israel’s “siege” and “blockade” on Gaza, the territory ruled by the evil Iranian-backed Islamist terror organization, Hamas, which perpetrated …

God’s Mighty Hand Strengthening and Unifying Israel
In the summer of 2014, my 17-year-old daughter knocked on my bedroom door late one night shortly after my wife and I had gone to sleep. She asked us not to come downstairs, saying that she had just brought two guys home. But she didn’t use the word guys: aid soldiers. Israel was embroiled in …

Israelis Miraculously Uniting Against Inhumane Enemy
Since the brutal horrifying attack by the Iranian-backed Islamist terror organization Hamas on Saturday, more than 1,200 Israelis have been killed, most of whom were civilians murdered in cold blood. Bodies continue to be found. Most recently, 40 babies. Some with their heads chopped off. It’s inhuman. There are no words. More Jews were murdered …

Sounding the Shofar as a Wake-Up Call for Jews
In the month preceding Rosh Hashanah, Jews sound the shofar as a wake-up call and reminder that it’s time to take into account shortcomings and outright sins, and to seek forgiveness from one another and from God. Throughout our Rosh Hashanah worship services, the shofar is sounded repeatedly, reminding us of this yet again. If …

Celebrating a Modern Persian Heroine
Marzi Amirizadeh is not a Persian queen. Unlike Esther, an orphan in Persia expelled from Judea following the Babylonian conquest of Jerusalem and exile of the Jewish people, Marzi is a native of Persia. Today, that’s Iran. She lives in the United States, her adopted country where, like Esther, she has risen to the occasion …

Everything You Wanted to Know About Hanukkah But Were Afraid to Ask
Read Time: 4 Minutes 42 Seconds Recently, I was asked to teach about Hanukkah with a church group in Dallas. I entered the conversation thinking it was really quite straight forward, that most Christians at least in America surrounded by a Judeo-Christian culture know the basics about the holiday.

Why Kanye’s Antisemitism Matters
Read Time: 5 Minutes 32 Seconds One doesn’t just wake up and make a string of anti-Semitic remarks without some deep seeded hatred of Jewish people. The latest example came from none other than the famous entertainer/designer Kanye West (Ye). His mental illness is not an excuse. Kanye’s hateful rants demonstrate a great paradox of …

Orthodox Jew: The October I Didn’t Get Married
Read Time: 5 Minutes, 20 Seconds In July 1985, I got engaged. The plan was to get married in October 1987, or at least begin the process to get married. Under the circumstances, I couldn’t have just eloped, gone to a local court or organized a more traditional Jewish wedding as would have been my …
