Why Akiva Shtisel Should be Drafted Into the IDF

When a Breslever Rabbi and an Israeli high-tech marketing influencer share the same solution to the current dilemma of Chareidim and their place in Israeli society, it sheds light on the fact that while the issue of Torah learning and IDF service is a very complex one, the answers are obvious.

Real Peace for Israel

When tragedy strikes the Jewish People, our Sages never blame the Romans, the Nazis, or Hamas. They say it happened because of our disunity and hatred for each other. To achieve the peace we want for each other, we must be strong and acknowledge some hard truths.

Rabbi Arush gives an impassioned plea to live in Eretz Yisrael.  There is no reason to be afraid. The more Jews who come, the greater the blessings will be. We are so close to building the Beit Hamikdash! Now, more than ever, is the time to come!

Often, when we look below the surface of what appears to be a dismal situation, we can find the hidden solution. So too, in our current situation in Eretz Yisrael, we see the glimmer of redemption!

My Lot in the Land of Life

This week, Americans celebrate Thanksgiving. Let’s be thankful for being able to live in Eretz Yisrael! The Land of Israel is stronger than all other mitzvot, and therefore it is important to always remember the greatness of living there!

Our Real National Anthem

Our Holiday, Our Land

How do you describe the simple pleasure of celebrating Chanukah in a place where everyone is also rushing home to light their menorah? Our holiday, our land…

Mighty Warriors of Eretz Yisrael
