Russell Robinson, the Chief Executive Officer of the Jewish National Fund, joins Yishai. Together they discuss the difference between Jews living in Israel and those living in the United States and how important it is to make Israel appealing for all Jews.  They move to talk about how JNF helps give North American Jews a voice in Israel and Robinson outlines the various projects that the JNF are involved in including projects in the Negev and also in the Galilee.  They end the segment by discussing those that perform fire watches on the JNF forests planted around Israel and how their involvement in this program is creates proud, Zionist, Jews.

Holy Humor

Comedian and Reform Rabbi Bob Alper and Lawyer and Community Activist Azhar Usman are a comedy duo known as ‘Comedy’s Odd Couple’ performing together in an act titled: “One Muslim, One Jew, One Stage.” I’ll bet a show with a Muslim and an Orthodox Jewish comic would be even funnier—especially since the Jewish comic would [...]

Straight forward halacha from the Web Yeshiva – because I was curious. If I didn’t know better, I’d wonder if Rabbi Chaim Brovender, dean of WebYeshiva, wasn’t filmed at 5 in the morning, Shavuot day, after staying up learning all night… But the clip was probably just shot a the end of a very long [...]

“Six13 is celebrating Shabbat with the debut of our fun, energetic new music video, Good Shabbos, and we would be honored if you’d post it. We figured the world had enough Purim, Passover and Chanukah tunes and videos – so why not one for the most important day of all?” Excellent point.

I can’t have enough of these. The Internet can’t have enough of the Harlem Shakes. In this case, the residents of the Golden West Senior Living in Boulder, CO, the oldest of whom are 100 years old, participate in the HS.

Jerusalem Day (Yom Yerushalayim) is an Israeli national holiday commemorating the reunification of Jerusalem and the establishment of Israeli control over the Old City in June, 1967.

Yishai and Malkah talk about living in Jerusalem on Yom Yerushalayim.

Yes, he tells it like you’d imagine Bill Shatner would tell a joke. In fact, this one is all about the delivery, not the punchline. And so you’ll get the punchline if you’re under 70 and don’t live in Florida: the Hialeah Park Race Track is one of the oldest existing tracks in southern Florida, [...]
