Reflections on Yitzchak Shamir (from a new film by JEM)


Latest update: July 6th, 2012

In tribute to former Prime Minister Yitzchak Shamir, who passed away this past Shabbos at the age of 96, JEM has posted an excerpt from the film exploring his relationship with the Rebbe.

About the Author: Yocheved Seidman is co-producer of "The Yishai Fleisher Show" on Galey Yisrael and Chief Operating Officer of Kumah, an NGO dedicated to strengthening Jewish identity, Torah education, pride in the Jewish State, and knowledge of the history and heritage of Israel and the Jewish people.

    My prayers are with his family! Such a wonderful gentleman. God be with you all! I know how we grieved when President Reagan died. I am from Oxnard, and we stood out on Las Posas Road in the farmland of Oxnard/Camarillo and there were miles and miles of us standing in love & sadness when the Reagans drove by us from Point Mugu.

    Always know, only a few loudmouthed idiots in America are stupid and hurtful to Israel! Most of us stand strongly with you!!! With great love, honor & deep respect for our Israeli brothers & sisters!!! God Be With You All!!! Pray for America! Obama needs to go!!!

It’s Purim and Iran’s planning nuclear genocide against Israel. This might be an appropriate Video of the Day. On the other hand, it might not be an appropriate Video of the Day too. It’s tough to tell on Purim.


 
Celebrating Jewish Survival and Strength
Media → Radio

Across Eastern Europe, more than a million Jews were killed by Nazi paramilitary death squads called “Einsatzgruppen,” and their bodies were thrown into mass graves. Many of these grave sites remained unmentioned and untouched for decades. On the Fast of Esther, Father Desbois joins Yishai to convey a message of Jewish strength. Then, VOI’s Binyamin Nakonechny joins Yishai in-studio to tell stories and play music in preparation for the Purim holiday — and in keeping with the verse from the Book of Esther: “The Jews had light and gladness and joy and honor.”

Pro-Israel Arabs, AIPAC Speeches, and Israeli Debates

Fred Maroun — a Canadian of Arab origin, who lived in Lebanon until 1984 (including during 10 years of civil war)– supports Israel’s right to exist as a Jewish state. He tells Yishai the ironic tale of how Israel brought him back to a relationship with the Arab world, and the sad reality of how pro-Israel Arabs cannot speak freely in Arab countries. Then, Paul Miller — executive director of the Salomon Center and a highly regarded writer and political consultant — joins Yishai from the AIPAC policy conference in Washington, and reports on PM Netanyahu’s speech in preparation for his big Congressional address. Finally, VOI’s Jeremy Saltan join Yishai in-studio for an analysis of Israeli debates and the lead-up to PM Netanyahu’s speech before the US Congress.

Rev. John Counsell is a pastor, a radio show host, a biker and an Israel-lover. Together with one of Ottawa’s top rabbis, he is leading a tour of the Holy Land for his listeners. John joins Yishai to talk about living an inspiring biblical life; hosting a religious, call-in talk-radio show on a secular station in Canada; ministering to bikers; and supporting Israel with all his heart. Then, Yishai hosts Brig. Gen. Avi Yaakovi, recently retired from the Israel Air Force, after flying more than 4,000 hours on an F-16 — thereby setting an Israeli record and becoming part of an exclusive international club consisting of only a few dozen elite pilots.

These ‘Cynical Elections,’ and the Moses-Amalek Face-Off
Media → Radio

The worsening housing crisis, the worsening Iran crisis and other problems that Israeli politicians can’t seem to solve — and with Knesset elections taking place a mere two years after the previous ones — are causing many Israelis to be cynical about the political process. The voter has a desire to see something different, but will they be disappointed again? Dr. Seth Frantzman, op-ed editor of the Jerusalem Post, joins Yishai in-studio to discuss the state of the Israeli electorate.

How can the most famous man in history also be the most humble? Why are we commanded to remember to destroy the memory of Amalek (Israel’s arch nemesis)? These and other conundrums are the topics of discussion between Rabbi Mike Feuer and Yishai on the segment that gets you ready for Shabbat.

Baratz analyzes the “new Israeli,” whose identity is formed in a mixed and tolerant religious environment; the rare “new Arab,” who accepts Israel; and PM Benjamin Netanyahu’s efforts to stop Iran’s nuclear ambitions and his call to European Jewry to immigrate to Israel. Then, VOI’s Raoul Wootliff joins Yishai to share audio clips from the latest English-language press event, during which Zionist Union party leader Isaac Herzog shared his vision for an alternative to PM Netanyahu.
