It’s Not Our Fault When Arabs Kill Each Other

But even if there is an unacceptably low police presence in the Arab sector: Is that a reason for people to kill each other? I rarely see police in my own neighborhood. We don't kill each other. In my brother's charedi neighborhood, one never sees a cop. Zero homicides.

The most negative attitudes were shown among the “Western democracies” while in non-democratic states the US scored much better.

Shocking! Palestinians Steal Electricity, Then Blame Israel

Going the Wrong Way

Make time to learn with your children. Sit with them, not just on Shabbat, but during the week as well and light their neshamas on fire! Make Torah fun for them and show them you genuinely care about their connection to Hashem. Show them how you are growing closer to Hashem and they will want to do the same thing!

Repentance and Gratitude

As a community, our behavior over the past year has been shameful. We have demonstrated an utter lack of hakarat hatov—recognition of the good—the virtue of gratitude.

Berlin: Capital of European Antisemitism

Berlin has surpassed Malmö as Europe’s antisemitism capital, with a wide variety of anti-Jewish and anti-Israel attitudes on display.

We Have A Job To Do

Israel is the body, and Torah and mitzvot are the soul. The people who founded Israel established an important base. Now it’s our turn to take the torch and bring Israel to a higher, spiritual realm. It’s our task to infuse the land with Torah and mitzvot so that knowledge of Hashem’s existence permeates every street corner and home.

How Hamas Leaders Fool Palestinians

The problem... is when your father is a senior terrorist leader who devotes himself to inciting against Israel and Jews and encouraging other young Palestinians to sacrifice their lives in the war against Israel. Hamad, like the rest of the Hamas leaders, would never send his own son to attack soldiers at the border with Israel.

Denying Jerusalem’s Jewish History Despite Archaeological Evidence

"Rewriting the history of the Land of Israel in order to deny Israel's right to exist is central to Palestinian Authority (PA) policy.
