Yishai and alternative peace activist Baruch Widen discuss whether Jerusalem is truly united or divided.

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 [...]

Yishai is joined by Aryeh King, director of the Israel Land Fund to discuss the hills around Jerusalem.

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

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, [...]

I realize the whole thing is mildly racist, but the cartoonish qualities of the event are worth the itzy bitzy sense of discomfort. The official title of this clip is “President Obama Performs at a Sheva Brochos in Borough Park @ Shlomo Bochne’s simcha.” Mr Chaim Ziegler is the host. It was published on March 20, [...]

Yishai interviews two Olim on during his return flight to Israel from tour in the US.
