The Israeli-Palestinian conflict: A store owner faces hooligans who throw rocks at his windows each night & claim his store is theirs. The police come and advise the owner to give up half his store to the hooligans. Store owner = Israel Hooligans = Palestinians Police = UN

Do you know the difference between pride and arrogance? In this video, I explain the difference and explain the major focus of the Torah on pride.

A Book Can Change Your Life Over 30 years I was trying to find myself. I was studying Torah full time in yeshiva in Israel and found myself attracted to the passion and enthusiasm of Hassidus and the intellectual rigor of Litvak Torah study. While many succeed at combining both

In a recent column published in the Jerusalem Post I wrote, “The fidelity Israel shows in championing freedom, reason, and human rights is why Western countries dedicated to the same values, especially the United States, stand alongside it.” Link to the column in the comments

Is there really a prohibition of stealing someone’s sleep by keeping them awake? In this video I examine whether this is a real prohibition or just a misconception.

In my latest column in The Jerusalem Post, I argue that Zionism thrived on diversity without red lines; emerging orthodoxy risks shrinking the tent. Yet minorities must accept democratic defeat gracefully instead of walking away or demanding veto power over the majority. Link to

I was honored to be the first person to be gifted the U.S. Embassy in Jerusalem's new "Challenge Coin." I love historic memorabilia, especially those that reflect the strong U.S.-Israel relationship. This is a stunning coin that perfectly reflects the strong connection between

I rarely post professional accomplishments, but every once in a while I feel it's important for people to know the great things that are happening in Israel. With gratitude to Rabbi Yehoshua Fass and Tony Gelbart, the leaders and co-founders of Nefesh B'Nefesh, Rabbi Josh

Stiched by Dovie Neuburger I was recently the focus of a “stich” by comedian Dovie Neuburger. Stitch on Instagram lets you clip and react to someone else’s video in your own post — your screen splits to show their clip beside yours for funny, clever, or supportive responses.

Although I am a big crier I can usually hold back my tears when I teach. Last week I taught a class and I couldn’t hold my tears back. I was talking about the Jewish people’s reaction to the October 7th attacks. We saw great kindness to victims, soldiers, and soldier families.

Rabbi Reuven Mann זצ״ל The Jewish people have lost one of their master teachers this week. Parents, siblings, grandparents, other family members and friends leave a gap in the world when they pass away, but a master teacher leaves a gaping hole that can never be filled. To their

Finally, my Amazon packages are arriving.

I recently received the following note of criticism from someone who listened to one of my talks: “Dear Rabbi, Hazak Ubaruch!... I was really disappointed that I didn’t hear you say even once: “Baruch Hashem,” “Hashem” “G-d.” We would expect to hear these expressions of Yirat

When you weaponize international law and take out all justice from its indictments, the world will begin to ignore it. Exhibit A. ⬇️

I've never understood how parents are well fed and their children are starving. This is how EVERY starving-child picture in Gaza is presented, well fed parent and starving child. I used to think that parents were taking food from their kids, and I didn't think that Palestinians

WARNING: Inspiring video. On October 7th, 2023 as Simchas Torah and Shabbat came to an end, the nightmare of what Palestinians had been doing to us throughout the day started to become clear. We knew we were at war, but hadn’t fully comprehended what that meant, or tragically,

Good morning from Ma’ale Adumim right outside of E1! I found the end of the rainbow but no leprechaun! I think since they’re Irish they don’t appear at rainbows in this region 😂

They’d have no problem passing through them all because they’d be citizens of Israel and pose no threat, just as every Israeli Jew and Arab has no problem today. Common sense dictates that checkpoints be put up to ensure Palestinians don’t have bombs.

We always see the big stories of Israelis helping in foreign countries, the earthquakes, flooding, and building collapses, but Israelis help all over the world everyday in so many ways. My nephew, Shmuel Somer, a doctor and mohel in Israel, has travelled to Tanzania to teach
