Tag: Jewish prayer

Unlike American Jews who want their own share in the Kotel when they come to visit, the WOW are not interested in compromises.

What's religious about holding up empty Torah covers by the Kotel? It's a purely political act.

Now, this is a fine issue over which Israel should go to another election: Jewish prayer on the Temple Mount.

Presumably, the change in police attitude regarding open Jewish prayer on the Temple Mount has to do with the man who runs the police these days, Minister of Public Security Amir Ohana (Likud).

Rabbi Shlomo Riskin is in quarantine, and has issued instructions to the town of Efrat.

Maimonides rules that a Jew is obligated to offer the Passover sacrifice even when the Temple has not yet been built.

The first recipients of the grant will help strengthen seven small European communities in Helsinki, Finland; Riga, Latvia; Oslo, Norway; and Warsaw, Szczecin and Wroclaw, Poland.

Is a landmark US state senate resolution to combat BDS having a domino effect? On April 21, 2015, Tennessee Governor Bill Haslam became the first elected state official in the US to sign a landmark resolution to confront the anti-Semitic BDS movement. Yishai is joined in-studio by Laurie Cardoza-Moore, the force behind the resolution, to further elaborate. Yishai talks to Temple Mount activist Rabbi Yehuda Glick, who was targeted for assassination six months ago by a terrorist who shot him in the chest four times. This was an attempt to silence Glick's demand for equal rights on the Temple Mount, the holiest place on earth for Jews. Finally, Yishai is joined by RustyBrick CEO Barry Schwartz to talk about Jewish app innovation; the future of smart watches; and to engage in the age-old debate: Android or Apple?
