Interview with Ryan Bellerose: Native American Rights Activist, Israel Supporter
I met Ryan Mervin on Israel and Stuff, a pro-Israel Facebook page. He’s always come across as an extremely positive, well-meaning guy with a lot to say. I recently saw a post about Ryan’s attempts to sway Canadian Native Americans to side more with Israel instead of giving in to pressure by Arab advocacy demonizing our country. I felt he did a very good job of “explaining” Israel–perhaps a better job than I could have done.
Be’er Sheva, gateway to southern Israel
Israel has four Holy cities: Yerushalayim, Tveria, Hevron and Safed. But, I have always wondered why Be’er Sheva is not included amongst them. After all, our forefathers spent a great deal of time digging wells, praying and living in Be’er Be’er ShevaSheva.
Hilchot Shabbat: Chicken Grease on Fingers
Avramy ate chicken at the Friday night seuda. Now his hands are greasy. He remembered that last week his father, after eating a pomegranate, cleaned his hands with water as opposed to with a cloth napkin. Avramy is now wondering if he must do the same.
On Parshat Shmot: It’s up to YOU!
In this week’s parsha, Shmot, we witness the coming to power of a new Pharaoh who “did not know Joseph” and the subsequent enslavement of the Jewish people. It’s in this parsha that the baby Moshe is delivered out of harms way; placed and sealed into a tiny basket by his parents, Amram and Yocheved, and found by Pharaoh’s righteous daughter, Batya.
Visit the Mystical Holy City of Tzfat
A winding drive up the northern mountains of the upper Galilee will bring you to the holy, mystical city of Safed, one of Israel’s four Holy cities and the highest city in Israel. Located 900 meters above sea level, the drive alone is sure to bring you to heightened spiritual levels as you gaze out upon the awesomely inspiring vistas of mountains, valleys, and horizon of open, undeveloped land where horses, cattle and other domestic and wild animals graze freely.

Galut Mentality: Israeli Gov’t Provides Aid for the Murderers of Our Children
In the wake of the most severe snow storm in Israel’s history, Israel’s government once again came to the rescue of people who’d waste no time in murdering our children.The “right wing” Likud-Jewish Home government displayed its galut mentality in providing water pumps to Gazans seeking refuge from flooding over the weekend.

Over the past years, Russian-speaking Jews living in the US, Canada, Germany, and other countries have become exceedingly visible in pro-Israel events and demonstrations. This phenomenon can be noted on US university campuses, it’s evident at the yearly “March with Israel “ parade on 5th avenue in New York, as well as in the fight against anti-Israel propaganda in Vancouver, Canada.
Come enjoy the autumn leaves of northern Israel
For us olim from the diaspora, who grew up with four, well-defined seasons, autumn here can seem a bit…well understated to say the least. I remember how everyone eagerly awaited the “fall leaves,” piling into our cars to drive along the narrow mountainside roads to see the amazing palette of colors that HaShem used each year to herald the arrival of autumn.

We need the help of the next generation of Jews. We need you to contact your parents and grandparents and find out if they may have invested in Palestine stocks.
