In less than two weeks the month of Elul begins. Every morning, at the end of our prayers, we sound the Shofar to remind ourselves that the Day of Judgment is nearly upon us. It is time for introspection in order to prepare ourselves for the Days of Awe that are coming very soon.

Americans like to look for the promising knight on horseback to lead the nation. Barak Obama is young and charismatic and projects the hope of change. Yet his rhetoric finds him speaking in circles and changing stories. As all politicians he seeks to please everyone. It has been said that he will not advance his [...]
Aside from the pain of seeing two coffins rather than live soldiers, there should also be a reassessment of the deal made to free our soldiers. It is one thing for us to return terrorist bodies for the bodies of our soldiers, but it is outrageous to consider trading live murderers for dead soldiers. It [...]
As I write this I am finishing up my visit to the states. Wherever I went I could feel the undercurrent of worry and fear for the future.

Last week Hizbullah commander Imad Mugniyah was assassinated. It is very likely that the Mosad was responsible. The Israeli government has not only denied involvement, it has issued warnings to Jews worldwide to expect terrorist retaliation.

What do you suppose would have happened had we had leaders with genuine self respect and sincere love for Zion? First of all there never would have been such a thing as an Arab citizen of Israel, let alone member of Knesset. Arabs who wanted to live in peace here as resident aliens with full [...]
