Inspiration from Zion: Purim: Not to Speak is to Speak
Purim tells us about the power of one person to change the fate of our people. Esther is not described as particularly brilliant or talented. She is just a woman, with a big heart who, with courage and feminine intuition, changed the world.

Inspiration from Zion: “The Temple Mount is in Our Hands!”

The Dangers of a Wikipedia World
In a Wikipedia world, in a world where my outlet to discuss the injustice of Facebook is – Facebook – is there any hope of building a solid truth based, fact-based, reality?
The Boy I Once Knew
The boy I had known years ago, the one I had liked, the one I had talked and laughed with and even kissed once or twice… He had grown up and then he had been killed. Murdered by Hezbollah.

Watching him, I felt sorry for Gantz. He was trying to make the gestures and say the things he was told would make the best impression but his body language expressed louder than words just how uncomfortable and unsure of himself he was.
Why do Companies Like Amazon and Sears Think it’s OK to Profit from Jew...
It is up to decent people everywhere, Jews and non-Jews, to make it very clear that it is unacceptable to profit from hate against ANY group. So speak out against it on social media
Running While Jewish
An Esther neighborhood. Horgen Hill. A place where more Jewish children can live, grow and thrive in the land of our ancestors. That is how it is done.
Inspiration from Zion: The US Embassy in Jerusalem and Hamas Riots
The embassy move is important. It is an end to ambivalence, a declaration of understanding that the Jewish people have always been connected to Zion and will never leave. It is up to the rest of the nations of the earth to make the same decision and officially give up the secret, or not so secret hope, that the Jewish people will somehow disappear.
Ending Apartheid in Israel

Inspiration from Zion: Gun Control: America, Israel and the Chasm in Between
In Israel gun control is very strict and most Israelis are against easy access to guns. Israelis tend to be dumbfounded by American attitude towards guns – we see guns as necessary tools to be used to defend lives, nothing else.

Inspiration from Zion: HaShomer HaChadash
What kind of modern child would willingly put down their phone, turn off the tv and go outside to sweat in the sun? What for? They don’t know what hard work is and why in the world would they want to do any kind of physical labor? There is no necessity that could drive them, no demand. It could never happen. Or at least that’s what the founders of the Shomer HaChadash Youth Movement were told.
Inspiration from Zion: The People Who Dance with their Book
Joy is a simple but profound emotion. Not one usually evoked by a book. But this is not “a book”, it is “The Book.”
This is the book of life, of civilization, of morality and humanity.
Inspiration from Zion: Poland, Holocaust Denial and Relegation of Responsibility
The sins of the fathers do not stain the children – unless the children deny them.
Haifa Town Hall
With Gantz the issue is more his incoherent sentences which seem to reflect very confused thinking. But many Israelis want anything that isn’t Bibi.
Inspiration from Zion: How do you Feel about the Color Red?
Children’s thoughts about colors should not be dictated by a terrorist organization. Children should be free to play outside, free to walk from their home to visit a friend, without having to worry about where the closest bomb shelter is.
Baby Blames Bibi

“If I don’t do it, who will?”
On the anniversary of the heroism of Ro'i Klein
I Laugh at their Rage
Israelis have a spirit of wild defiance that is incomprehensible to our enemies; the defiance of freedom to determine our own destiny. The idea that Israelis would cringe at the disapproval of other nations or swayed by terrorism is laughable.

The Eagle has Landed: From Israel to Syria and Back Again
So, what does this story mean? That there are good guys on the other side? That peace is possible? No. It means that Israeli compassion to Syrians in need has made an impact.
