Jamshid Sharmahd - a name you have probably never heard of before, is an Iranian revolutionary supporter working out of America, trying to OUST the present Islamic regime in Iran. The Islamic Iranian government terms him a 'terrorist', and some are saying that they may have lured him to Dubai, and then kidnapped him into Iranian custody. He may be tortured, and quite possibly hanged. What are Jamshid Sharmahd and many other 'revolutionary' Iranian citizens trying to do, and what other important insights into future relations with Iran can happen following any collapse of the current Islamic regime? Tamar speaks with Dr. Daniel Dana, an Iranian now living in Israel, and founder of PLIM or 'Peace and Love International Movement' to bring the message of peace and love between the nations of Israel and Iran.

Many Arabs mourn on their yearly ‘Nakba’ day (The Catastrophe) – meaning, the rise of the Modern State of Israel. With Israel rising, it has brought a better life for Arabs, with health, education, and financial prosperity. Yet the Jewish People, after 2,000 years is still suffering from its own national tragedy, or ‘Nakba’, and that is the loss of the Holy Temple. The fact that Jews (and the world) do not have the Holy Temple is a gashing wound that still has not healed. On this show, Tamar Yonah speaks with Rabbi Avraham Shira from www.avrahamshira.com as he explains the meaning of the Tisha B’Av holiday, the customs Jews still observe today, and the future prophesies that have yet to materialize, – may it be soon.

Now that we have left the days of mourning behind us and come into the days of comfort, tonight we will celebrate the minor holiday of Tu B'Av. The 15th of Av has a connection to biblical times as well as a connection to a modern world. In some ways it is viewed as the Israeli version of Valentine's Day. What do the Jewish sources teach us about this little known holiday and what we can learn about love and elevation?

We are in the three weeks, the period between the 17th of Tammuz and the 9th of Av. This is a time of mourning in Judaism, the culmination of which takes place on the 9th of Av when we mourn the destruction of both holy temples. It is considered a time of diminished joy, however, there are teachings from the Arizal and Rebbe Nachman related to redemption and the world to come, which are both times of joy. How do we reconcile having joy during a time of diminished joy, and what in the world does this have to do with “skeletons in the closet?”

Hezbollah's Islamic Anti-Jew Crusade

Israel has a major decision to make regarding application of sovereignty against a background of political and physical chaos

Tisha B'Av is a difficult day. It's a day of fasting and sadness when we are supposed to feel the loss of the Beit Hamikdash. Yet, it's a day that is hard to relate to as I never experienced life with the Beit Hamikdash that I am mourning and therefore have a hard time fully relating to the loss. Tisha B'Av is a day to mourn many tragedies throughout Jewish history and as real as those tragedies are, how can I personally relate to them and make this day of sadness meaningful?

One of the reasons given for the destruction of the second temple is sinat chinam-- baseless hatred. Is it really common for people to hate with no justified cause? It would seem to be more common for people to dislike, despise or hate another for what sounds like a legitimate reason. What is the true definition of 'sinat chinam' and how can we eradicate it from within?

Corona wages war and we, the "sitting ducks", can't even identify the weapons in our arsenal! With no end in sight, how many of us are beginning to go mad with fear? And who among us are still gloaming onto moments of light and laughter?

The Middle East is witnessing a new form of kinetic cyber warfare that has dramatically set back Iran’s nuclear program. Dr. Stephen Bryen, former Reagan era Deputy Under Secretary of Defense for Technology and Security, noted military technologist and Asia Times columnist calls it “Son of Stuxnet”. That is a reference to the joint US-Israel malworm virus attack in 2009 -2010 on the Natanz enriched uranium cascade facility that destroyed an estimated 1,000 of 5,000 centrifuges. The difference this time was the cyber-attacks may have generated explosions.
