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

On October 7 Palestinians had a choice. They could be moral and shun the Hamas attacks on Jews in Israel. Or They could join and participate in the murder, kidnapping, and rape. Tens of thousands chose to participate. None shunned the attacks. Palestinians are our enemy.

I know…I know…horrible picture, but I was trying to being inconspicuous when taking the shot. A student and I were walking to the gate at an American airport, both wearing kipot, and this man pats my student on the back and says “Bless you guys!” After days of being cursed

There is no greater privilege than taking my students into The White House to talk to members of the Trump adminstration about their efforts to support Israel during the war. We had the opportunity to spend quality time with White House Jewish Liaison Martin Marks. The students

It has always been my belief that outside of prayer, there is no greater way for American Jews to give concrete support to Israel than to lobby American elected officials. Encouraging elected officials to support greater assistance to Israel, support it during the war, and

If I have to leave the land of Israel it has to be for something great. AIPAC On Campus's 2025 Student Leadership Summit was it! I was able to chaperone students from America I teach over Zoom and teach students at the conference from all over America. It is truly inspiring to

One of my greatest joys is connecting my students to unique people, especially those who try to avoid the spotlight. Stephanie Hallett has a CV that would cause most people’s heads to spin. She is a career foreign service agent for the U.S. Department of State whose most recent

This horrid antisemite walks around Capital Hill harassing members of Congress that are supporters of Israel, many of whom are friends of mine. She fabricates the worst slander about Israel, its people, and the heroic IDF. I know it is mostly best to ignore these people, but my

"Is the only reason you moved to Israel to eat sufganiyot and avoid Santa?" This was a fair criticism of my post yesterday of moving to Israel. The critique isn't aimed at my motivations, but rather doubts my honesty and being completely transparent. "There must be more to it.

I'm assuming 99% of people who read my posts will never know who this Rabbi was. His name was Rabbi Moshe Chaim Dimitman. He passed away yesterday at the age of 94. He was best known for being a Rebbi at Yeshivat Kerem B'Yavneh and a Rosh Kollel in Rechovot. I never studied at

When the right wing Netanyahu led government signed the Abraham Accords the Israeli left wing downplayed the achievement, calling it not a big deal. Now that the right wing might put the Abraham Accords at risk by annexing Judea and Samaria, the Israeli left wing is having a fit

In her latest column in the Jerusalem Post, Aliza highlights the antisemitism of the darling of Palestinians and the Pro-Palestinian movement, Ahed Tamimi. Incredible that Jewish groups like @truahrabbis celebrate this violence and hate. https://t.co/AmUS17bqSz

Tamimi highlighted her belief that “Judaism is an occupation,” and that is how the religion should always be presented to Palestinian children. “We are fighting Jews, not Zionism,” she went on.

Jews that claim that Charlie Kirk was an antisemite, but they're not happy that Charlie Kirk is dead are liars. Why wouldn't you want an antisemite to die? They either don't believe he was an antisemite or they are happy he's dead.
