Sole Purpose of WOW and Gay “Pride” Parades: To Provoke Religious Sector
Have you ever pondered what the link between gay pride parades and WOW is? I believe the answer is that both have an underlining agenda of provoking Israel’s religious community to show its violent underbelly (yes, wowthe religoius community has a tendency to fight back when provoked just like any other denomination in Israel).
Knesset to Vote on Temple Mt. Sovereignty at 5pm Tomorrow: BE THERE!!!
You may have heard that the Knesset will be debating the issue of Jewish sovereignty on the Temple Mount this Tuesday. I’ll be going. I don’t really like the term “Jewish Sovereignty” because it’s an Orwellian term. It really means that the agents of the State of Israel will control what goes on at the Temple Mount, instead of what the situation is now, which is that the Jordanian state decides it.
How Two Israeli Brothers Spread Good Will to Africa
Two brothers in Israel, Yonatan and Gilad Shilo, have come up with a plan that effectively pairs Israeli know-how and technology with needy residents of Africa.
Boycotting Israel Hurts Arab Interests
You’ve seen them by now: those pesky BDS’ers going around asking people to “boycott” Israel. It doesn’t make too much sense to a mature human being just based on the simple fact that most likely you’re boycotting your own computer or your own veggies, or better yet (or worse perhaps) your own cancer treatment
Some Thoughts Prior to Shabbat Va’etchanan
The man had apparently been in some far-off part of the world–Morocco, I guessed, when two young Arabs approached him and told him to follow them. He realized they were armed and wanted to kill him.
Israel as a High Speed Internet Example to the World
Thanks to John Chambers, the CEO of Cisco, the Start up Nation is about to become digital. It seems as though Israel has been chosen to be the recipient of a new and powerful fiber optic system and will showcase as the first example of an entire state going digital.
Why Tammuz?
This previous Shabbat, we entered the new month of Tammuz. I have always found it fascinating that the names of our months are Babylonian and not Hebrew.
Shabbat in Hevron
If you have never spent Shabbat in Hevron, you have missed out on an incredibly intense experience of tefilah, history and devekut with the roots of our Nation.
Self Pity in Zionist Circles: Good or Bad?
Zionist activists in Israel and abroad seem to have settled on a theme du jour for just about everything they say and do. “Israel is being unfairly treated by the world.” I see it in the news every day and it’s becoming a menace. Not because it’s not true but because it’s being misapplied.
Where it all Began: Tikkun Leil Shavuot in Ramat Hasharon
The night was still young and the yeshiva students were just beginning to get into their groove. It was Shavuot night, when Jews around the world stay up learning as a “tikkun”
Street Food Eating in Israel
One of the nicest and most distinct Israeli traditions is food. Jews coming from the Middle East and Far East, from Europe, Australia, South Africa, North and South America—all adopted the local cooking habits to their dietary laws and passed them on to their children. The cooking style of the countries where they lived came as part of their baggage when they made their way to Israel, and they blended with those who had come before them.
Squeezing Out Lemon Juice into a Salad
It is permitted to squeeze out lemon juice into a salad in order to improve the taste of the vegetables*. One must squeeze the lemon directly on the vegetables (i.e., it is not permitted to squeeze out the lemon juice into a cup and then add it to the salad).
Squeezing out lemon juice into a salad is permitted even if the lemon juice will not be absorbed into the vegetables of the salad.
