The Iranian Foreign Minister says Tehran has "never asked for a ceasefire" in the war with Israel and America. Yesterday, President Trump said that Iran wanted to make a deal, but that he felt the terms were "not good enough". In Israel, an Iranian missile hits residential areas near Tel Aviv.

The History and Heart of the Tabernacle, Part 3: In Israel's ancient Tabernacle, the Israelites immediately arrived at the altar, where they met the Lord through sacrifice. Just beyond the altar in the courtyard stood the laver, the bronze basin where the priest met God through cleansing. As the altar demonstrated God's desire to forgive sinful man, the laver demonstrated ...

We are an unbelievable people...In most countries, when war erupts and missiles begin falling, governments scramble to evacuate their citizens from the war zone. In Israel, the opposite happens: planes are organized to fly Jews back into a country under missile fire, and we call these flights “rescue missions.”Join Our Whatsapp Channel: https://chat.whatsapp.com/GkavRznXy731nxxRyptCMvFollow us on Twitter: https://x.com/AviAbelowJoin our Telegram Channel: https://t.me/aviabelowpulseFollow us on Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/pulse_of_israel/?hl=enPulse of Israel on Facebook: https://www.facebook.com/IsraelVideoNetworkVisit Our Website - https://pulseofisrael.com/Donate to Pulse of Israel: https://pulseofisrael.com/boost-this-video/
Im Podcast "Blick in die Bibel" spricht DOMRADIO-Redakteur Jan Hendrik Stens mit Kristell Köhler vom Erzbistum Köln über ihren Job. Sie leitet im Erzbischöflichen Generalvikariat den Bereich Glaubensorte & Verkündigung. Im Gespräch erzählt sie, wie Büchereien, Chöre und Treffpunkte zu "Glaubensorten" werden – Orte, wo Glauben gelebt und weitergegeben wird.Dann geht es um Jesus in Nazareth: Warum er in seiner Heimat auf Ablehnung stößt, obwohl er Gutes tut. Köhler erklärt, wie Jesus mit seiner Botschaft provoziert – nicht aus Bosheit, sondern um zum Nachdenken anzuregen. Das Ende der Szene bleibt rätselhaft: Statt Gewalt geht Jesus einfach durch die Menge hindurch. Ein spannender Blick darauf, warum Propheten oft "zu Hause" nicht ernst genommen werden – und was das heute bedeutet.Hört rein, um zu verstehen, warum manchmal nur ein Blick von außen die Wahrheit zeigt!Aus dem Lukasevangelium:In jener Zeit begann Jesus in der Synagoge in Nazaret darzulegen: Amen, ich sage euch: Kein Prophet wird in seiner Heimat anerkannt. Wahrhaftig, das sage ich euch: In Israel gab es viele Witwen in den Tagen des Elíja, als der Himmel für drei Jahre und sechs Monate verschlossen war und eine große Hungersnot über das ganze Land kam. Aber zu keiner von ihnen wurde Elíja gesandt, nur zu einer Witwe in Sarépta bei Sidon. Und viele Aussätzige gab es in Israel zur Zeit des Propheten Elíscha. Aber keiner von ihnen wurde geheilt, nur der Syrer Náaman.Als die Leute in der Synagoge das hörten, gerieten sie alle in Wut. Sie sprangen auf und trieben Jesus zur Stadt hinaus; sie brachten ihn an den Abhang des Berges, auf dem ihre Stadt erbaut war, und wollten ihn hinabstürzen. Er aber schritt mitten durch sie hindurch und ging weg. (Lk 4,24-30)(© Ständige Kommission für die Herausgabe der gemeinsamen liturgischen Bücher im deutschen Sprachgebiet)
B"H Jewish life is on fire, and I want to share a bit of that positivity. This is a very difficult time to be Jewish. In Israel and in the diaspora there is fear, tension, and real danger. Nothing I say here minimizes that. I see it as a rabbi and in my work as a therapist supporting people in the Jewish community. Every attack, every threat, every moment of fear is real and painful. But there is another truth at the same time. For generations we have often lost the propaganda war. We try to respond, we try to explain, but so much of that is beyond our control. Yet while that battle rages, Jewish life itself is thriving. Tel Aviv is alive with simchat chayim. The Land of Israel is flourishing in ways our ancestors could only dream of. Chabad centers across the world are bursting with Ahavat Yisrael, welcoming every Jew with love. Our hopes go even deeper than this. A world where Beit Tefillah yikareh lechol ha'amim, where all humanity gathers in Yerushalayim to serve Hashem together. Until that day, we keep fighting antisemitism, we keep supporting our people, and we keep standing strong. But we should also recognize the moment we are living in. Jewish life is burning with an aish tamid, an eternal flame, inside every one of us. Thank Hashem for that fire. And may we soon see days of peace for Am Yisrael and for the entire world. #AmYisraelChai #Judaism #Israel #Chabad #JewishLife To watch Torah Thoughts in video format, click HERE Subscribe to the Torah Thoughts BLOG for exclusive written content!

A Place Where God Will Live Ephesians 2:11-22 by William Klock In today's Old Testament lesson we hear King Solomon praying at the dedication of the temple. The temple was finally completed and Solomon gathered the elders of Israel at the tabernacle, where they offered sacrifices too many to number. Then with the priests leading them with the ark of the covenant, they processed up the mountain to the temple. When they'd placed it in the holy of holies, the presence of the Lord, the shekinah, the cloud of his glory descended to fill the temple as it once had the tabernacle. And Solomon prayed. He prayed for the new temple and he prayed for his people. He prayed that they would be faithful. And then, our lesson today, he prayed for the foreigners, for the gentiles who might come to the Lord's temple having heard of his great name, his mighty hand, and his outstretched arm—that coming to the temple, they would know his glory. Solomon's kingdom was, however imperfectly, a fulfilment of the Lord's promise to Abraham to make Israel a light to the nations. And the nations came to Israel and to Solomon, because they saw and because they heard of the Lord's reputation. Not only had he blessed his people, but in him they saw a god unlike their own. And so they came, and they saw for themselves the goodness of the Lord, the God of Israel. And Solomon knew, too, that they would come to the temple that he'd built. So he prayed that when these foreigners came and prayed, that the Lord would answer them, that he would make himself known to them, so that “all the peoples of the earth may know your name and fear you, as do your people Israel.” Again, this wasn't some one-off prayer that Solomon came up with. Solomon's prayer is rooted in the promises of God and in the story of his people. Solomon knew that the world is not as it should be; Solomon knew the Lord's promises to set it to rights; and Solomon knew that God had given an integral role to his people to bring the fulfilment of those promises. And Solomon great desire was for his people to be faithful to that calling, to that vocation—faithful to be a temple people. Now, this imagery and idea of the temple wasn't new with Israel; it goes all the way back to the beginning of the story. The garden was God's first temple. And the man and woman he created—he created them—us—to bear his image. That means to be his representatives in the temple, to serve him, and steward his goodness to the rest of creation. We rejected that vocation and the story ever since has been about God restoring his temple and his people. Two weeks ago, when we looked at Ephesians 2:1-10, we saw how Jesus—the one in whom God and humanity have come together—represents God's work to restore his temple, but we also saw there that, as Paul stresses so much, what is true of Jesus is also true of those who are in him. One day his people will be raised to be like him—heaven and earth people—but in the meantime, God has filled his church—filled us—with his Spirit as a foretaste and a down payment of that hope. Brothers and Sisters, that means that we, purified by the blood of Jesus and filled with God's Spirit, we're now the temple—not a temple of bricks and mortar, but a temple of people filled with God's presence. Just as Solomon prayed that the nations would know the glorious reputation of the God of Israel through his people and come to meet him at his temple, our prayer, our desire, our commitment ought to be that the world will know God's glorious reputation through us and come to meet him here. What God promised to Adam and Eve, to Abraham, to Moses, to the people through the Prophets is now reality in us. The promise isn't completely fulfilled. One day the knowledge of the glory of God will fill the earth. On that day the new creation that began when Jesus rose from the dead will come to full fruit. Creation and us with it will be made fully new. God will wipe every last remaining bit of evil from the world and sin and death will be no more. But, Brothers and Sisters, here's the really important thing here: The church—you and I and everyone else who is in Jesus the Messiah—we are God's vehicle to get the world to that point. The church is God's means of making his glory known until it fills the earth. And that ought to get us reflecting on how faithful we are to our mission. When the world looks at the Church, when it looks at Christians, does what we say and do and live declare the glory of God: his great name, his mighty hand, and his outstretched arm? (To put it as Solomon did.) Does what we say and do and live give the world a desire to come to the church to meet God? Do we at least make the world constructively curious? If not, we need to reflect on our priorities and on what we're doing. And this is true of everyone who is in Jesus the Messiah, but Paul, writing to the Ephesians who were mostly gentile believers, wants to stress to them just how significant it is that through Jesus and the Spirit they have been made a part of this temple people. Brothers and Sisters, this is something that we don't spend enough time talking about and reflecting on. For Paul, the unification of Jews and gentiles in the Messiah was at the heart of the gospel. It was the proof that God was fulfilling his promises. This church, made up of Jews and gentiles, men and women, rich and poor, slave and free, all together, unified, one body was a testimony to the glory of God. In fact, for Paul, it was the testimony of the gospel's power. And I don't think it's even on the radar for many of us today, because we've become so used to and even so complacent about divisions within the church. Anglicans, Presbyterians, Methodists, Baptists, Lutherans, Mennonites, Romans, and Eastern Orthodox—and those are just some older divisions amongst us before we got really split-happy in the last century or two. And it's not just theology and polity. I suspect Paul might have at least a little sympathy for those sorts of divisions, especially over serious, gospel-compromising theological matters. But Paul would be furious to see how we divide over things like language and ethnicity. The English are here and the Germans are at that Lutheran church and the Swedes at that other Lutheran church and the Italians and Spanish and Filipinos are at the Roman church and the Greeks at the Greek Orthodox, the Russians at the Russian Orthodox, the Ukrainians at the Ukrainian Orthodox, the Syrians at the Syrian Orthodox. The Dutch are in their Reformed church and the Scots are in their Reformed church. And there's a church just for Chinese-speakers and another for Afrikaans and so on and on. And you've got Messianic Jews forming their own synagogues. And Paul would be shouting at us and asking, “Haven't you read a single thing I've written to you? Your divisions are undermining the very gospel you claim to preach!” Paul did not want this to happen in the Ephesian churches, but even more than that, he wanted the people in those churches, especially he wanted them to appreciate just what God had done for them in Jesus and the Spirit, because if we understand what God has done to make us one, we'll hopefully be far less likely to let it be undone. So, Paul writes in Ephesians 2:11-12 and reminds them of what they used to be: “Therefore, remember this: In human terms—that is, in your ‘flesh'—you are ‘gentiles'. You are the people whom the so-called circumcision refer to as the so-called uncircumcision—circumcision, of course, being something done by human hands to human flesh. Well, once upon a time you were separated from the Messiah. You were alienated from the community of Israel. You were foreigners to the covenants of promise. There you were in the world, with no hope and no God.” You were gentiles. Of course, Gentiles didn't think of themselves that way. They were just regular people; it was the Jews who were weird. But the fact that Paul can say this to them, “You were gentiles” means that they've now been brought into the family of Israel. And just in case they might have forgotten the significance of that, he describes them as having been outsiders with this string of descriptors that work up to a crescendo of alienation. First, they were separated from the Messiah—from the rightful King. The Messiah was some weird thing the Jews were into. What would Greeks or Romans—who were oh, so superior—want to have to do with him? And even if they did, the Messiah wasn't part of their story. Then second, Paul says that they were alienated from the community—the commonwealth as the King James puts it—of Israel. They were foreigners. Israel was not their nation and Israel's God was not their God. Even if they did see something attractive in Israel and went to the temple in Jerusalem—think of Solomon's prayer for the foreign visitors who would come—there was a wall between the court of the gentiles and the court of the women. In Paul's day there was an inscription on that wall warning that foreigners passed it on pain of death. Gentiles could look from a distance, but they were cut off from the living God. And third, they were foreigners to the covenants of promise. Most of them had never heard of Abraham or Moses, but if they had, that simply wasn't their story and it certainly wasn't their family. They didn't belong there. Whatever promises the God of Israel had made, those promises were not for the gentiles. And Paul then sums it all up and says: You were in the world without God and without hope. I think Paul intends a bit of irony there. When he says they were without God he uses a word that essentially means they were atheists. And “atheist” is exactly what the gentiles called Jews and the first Christians. Because Jews and Christians worshipped only one God and one God might as well have been no god to them with their vast pantheons. And Jews and Christians refused to take part in the pagan worship and festivals that ran all through gentile life and society. And so Paul flips it around. “No, it was you gentiles, separated from the Messiah, alienated from Israel, foreigners to the covenant promises—it was you who were the atheists. You were the ones without God. And because of that you had no hope. And if being called atheists didn't make an impact, I have to think this would have. Because it's not that the Greeks and Romans didn't understand the idea of hope; it's that they had no reason, no grounds to live with hope. No one in their world believed in progress the way people do today. That idea is rooted in our biblical heritage. They thought things just went round and round in cycles—forever stuck. And while their philosophers might talk about life after death, it was all very vague and not hopeful at all. Hesiod imprisoned hope in the bottom of Pandora's box, lost forever. Aristotle and others wrote about hope as fickle and treacherous—a foolish thing to trust in. Things could go wrong just as easily as they could go right. Hope just wasn't a big deal for the Greeks. But in stark contrast, hope was at the centre of the whole Jewish and early Christian worldview. As I said last time, no one in the pagan world would have ever dreamed that the gods loved them or even really cared about them, so why would anyone in the pagan world have reason to hope? So Paul sums it all up: Without God and without hope, the gentiles were alone and lost in the world. Paul reminds them just how bleak things were for them before they were captured by the gospel. I think it's a good thing for us to reflect on this ourselves and if we did, I think we would have a greater appreciation for what God has done for us and for what he has made his church. So after painting this bleak and pitiful picture of where these people were before Jesus, Paul cuts through the hopelessness and despair. Like he did with that great, “But God!” in verse 3, now in verse 13 he practically shouts out, “But now!” “But now, in Messiah Jesus, you who used to be far away have been brough near by the Messiah's blood. He is our peace, you see. He has made the two to be one. He has pulled down the barrier, the dividing wall, that turns us into enemies of each other. He has done this in his flesh, by abolishing the law with its commands and instructions.” Paul wrote about the Messiah's blood back in Chapter 1. Jesus' blood is the means through which God has accomplished redemption and forgiveness. This was the great, once-and-for-all-time sacrifice that the Old Testament sacrificial system was pointing to all along. In the Old Testament, sacrificial blood was like a disinfectant. It cleansed the tabernacle and later the temple; and it cleansed the people of Israel so that the holy God could come to his people and dwell with them. Pagan sacrifices were all about killing valuable animals to placate the gods. In Israel, the sacrifices were all about the blood—a symbol of God-given life—and that blood was shed to wash away the stain of sin and death so that God could come and dwell and fellowship with his people. Brothers and Sisters, the blood of Jesus, shed at the cross, has fully accomplished once and for all and for everyone what the Old Testament sacrifices did partially and temporarily. And in doing that, God has abolished the law. You see, the law was the thing that set Israel apart from the rest of the world and Paul saw that wall in the court of the gentiles as symbolic of it. The law, like that wall, kept the gentiles out of God's people, out of his covenant, and out of his promises. The law marked out the gentiles as idolaters and as unclean—unworthy of God's presence. But Jesus' blood has washed us clean—Jew and gentile alike—making both the law and the wall that kept the gentiles out irrelevant. In Jesus, God had brought these Greek believers into the family—fully and no longer aliens and foreigners. And why? Paul goes on in the second half of verse 15: “The point of doing all this was to create, in him, one new humanity out of the two, so making peace. God was reconciling both of us to himself in a single body, through the cross, by killing the enmity in him.” Do you remember the first thing the risen Jesus said to his disciples when he entered that locked-up house where they were hiding after he'd been crucified? It was “Peace”. Shalom. Peace is what the world looks like set to rights. And so it makes perfect sense that “Peace” would be the first thing Jesus would say to his disciples after rising from death and inaugurating God's new creation. He'd just begun the work of setting the world to rights. And for Paul, this new humanity—Jews and gentiles, once divided by the law, but now brought together—this new humanity, the church, is the first sign of God's peace breaking out into the world. The church is the sign of the new age. As I've said before, we are God's working model of his new creation. Jesus has killed the enmity that was once between us and he has reconciled both to God and, through that, to each other. Jesus' blood as washed us clean and Paul stresses regularly to his fellow Jews, this means there's no longer any reason to consider gentile believers in Jesus to be unclean. We gentiles, with hearts renewed by the Holy Spirit, have turned away from our idols to serve the living God and by the blood of Jesus he has washed us clean. And if there's any doubt, Paul would point to the fact that the same Spirit has come to fill the gentile believers who first filled the Jewish believers. So he goes on in verse 17: “So the [he Messiah] came and proclaimed peace, to you who were far off and to those who were near. Through him we both have access to the Father in one Spirit.” Again, it's all the fulfilment of God's promises. In Isaiah 57 God had promised that he would heal the broken and humble in spirit and give peace: peace for those far off and peace for those who are near. He's now done that in Jesus and the unity of the church—these people who were once separated, these people who once hated each other—their unity in the Messiah as one people is the proof, the testimony, the witness of God's faithfulness and the power of the gospel. And Paul, again, wants to drive this home. Look at verses 19 to 22: “So then [—this is the result—] you are no longer foreigners and aliens. No, you are fellow citizens with God's holy people. You are members of God's household. You are built on the foundation of the apostles and prophets, with Messiah Jesus himself as the cornerstone. In him the whole building is fitted together, and grows into a holy temple in the Lord. You, too, are being built up together, in him, into a place where God will live by the Spirit.” The point of all this is that through Jesus and the Spirit, the living God has welcomed us into this amazing story. We've been adopted into a family that was not ours. We were poor, dirty refugees without hope, but God has washed us clean in the blood of Jesus, he has made us welcome members of his family, and most importantly, he has come to dwell with us. He has filled us—aliens, foreigners, strangers, gentiles—with his Spirit—the presence that he had promised to his own people and in doing that he has made us holy. And just just because. God has a purpose for us. He always has. And this is where Paul stops hinting at things with temple language and imagery and comes out and says it: God has done this in order to establish a new temple. For centuries the Jews had been waiting for God's presence to return to the temple, not that unlike the way so many Jews today go to the Western Wall and pray for a new temple and God's return. Brother and Sisters, Paul's stressing that God has, in fact, returned, that he has built a new temple, and that he now dwells with his people. But not in a stone building on the mountain above Jerusalem. He has built is new temple and returned to live with his people through Jesus and the Spirit. And, again, that means that we—the church—are God's ongoing means of fulfilling his promises to set creation to rights. God's presence with us is the sign that one day his presence will fill all of creation. We are the temple, the working model of new creation. As we proclaim the gospel, we proclaim the glories of God to the world. As we live the gospel, we put on display the glories of God to the world. And our unity in Jesus and the Spirit—something we've often forgotten—is one of the most important ways we ought to be living out the gospel. Just as there was one temple in Israel, there is only one church. By our divisions and schism and arguments, by our elevating language and race and nation over the gospel, we've often obscured this reality, but Brothers and Sisters, there is but one church and the unity of that one church across our natural divisions of language and race—and class, and status, and every other way the world divides and separates us—that unity is meant to be a witness. A witness to the power of the gospel. A witness to the power of Jesus and the cleansing power of his blood. A witness to the Holy Spirit who indwells every believer. And most of all, witness to the faithfulness of God, who has been true to his promises. And through that, our unity becomes a witness to a bleak and hopeless world of God's coming new creation—not just of the world set to rights, but of humanity set to rights within it: one people, renewed and purified, in fellowship forever with the living God. Let's pray: Gracious Father, you have purified us by the blood of your Son and filled us with your Spirit to make us your temple. Pour out your grace that we might be faithful stewards of the gifts you have given us. Teach us to guard the unity of your church, so that the nations will see in us a witness to your mighty hand, your outstretched arm, and your great name. And when they draw near, hear their prayers, we ask, that they might know your great name as we have, through your Son and through your Spirit. Amen.
Iran: Khamenei tot - Sirenen in Tel Aviv - Baden-Württemberg vor der Abrechnung Irans oberster Führer Ali Khamenei ist bei den gemeinsamen US-israelischen Schlägen getötet worden. Trump spricht von „Gerechtigkeit“ und kündigt eine massive, fortgesetzte Operation an: Raketenindustrie, Luftabwehr, Marine und Stellvertreterstrukturen sollen zerschlagen, ein iranisches Atomwaffenprogramm endgültig verhindert werden. Gleichzeitig richtet Trump eine Botschaft nach innen: Für die Iraner sei dies die größte Chance, „ihr Land zurückzuerobern“. Iranische Stellen bestreiten die Darstellung – die Lage ist unübersichtlich, die Eskalation aber real. In Israel herrscht Ausnahmezustand. Sirenen in Tel Aviv, Abfangmaßnahmen gegen Drohnen und Raketen, Alarmbetrieb in Kliniken. Die Folgen reichen weit über das Militärische hinaus: Nach iranischer Vergeltung gerät der zivile Luftverkehr im Golf ins Chaos. Der Flughafen Dubai meldet Schäden an einem Terminal und Verletzte, mehrere Golfstaaten schließen ihren Luftraum. Emirates, Qatar Airways, Etihad setzen Flüge aus, Zehntausende stranden – ein Einschnitt in eine Region, die als globales Drehkreuz den Welthandel verbindet. Ein aktueller Lagebericht aus Tel Aviv von TE-Israel Korrespondent Godel Rosenberg. Danach richten wir den Blick nach Baden-Württemberg: In genau einer Woche wählt das Land einen neuen Landtag. Diese Wahl ist mehr als ein Personalwechsel – sie ist eine Abstimmung über 15 Jahre grüner Industrie- und Energiepolitik, über wirtschaftliche Substanz, kommunale Kassen, Energiepreise und den Kurs eines Landes, das einst als Musterländle galt. Der heutige Wecker wird unterstützt von durch den Zukunftswiesnsummit: Unternehmen kämpfen mit Unsicherheit. Start-ups und Innovatoren mit fehlender Sichtbarkeit. Talente mit Orientierungslosigkeit.

Elsewhere in the Middle East, women ask for permission. In Israel, they command warships.
Most people spend significant time planning how to build wealth, but far fewer consider how their family would access that wealth if something unexpected happened. For Americans living in Israel who maintain U.S. brokerage or retirement accounts, that question can be more complex than it appears. The challenge usually involves authority, documentation, and cross-border procedures. From the outside, U.S. accounts often appear unchanged after someone relocates to Israel. Statements arrive, online access continues, and the accounts seem stable. That familiarity can create comfort, but it can also hide administrative challenges that surface during estate transitions. When inheritance meets two legal systems Inheritance is often assumed to be simple. A relative passes away, assets transfer to heirs, and accounts continue under new ownership. Cross-border estates rarely follow that pattern. Consider a common situation. A son lives in Israel while his parent maintains brokerage accounts in the United States. The parent passes away and the will names the son as the heir. From the son's perspective, the next step seems straightforward. Notify the financial institution, submit documentation, and transfer the accounts. Instead, access to the accounts often stops immediately after the parent's death. Financial institutions typically freeze accounts once they receive notification. This step protects assets and ensures that only properly authorized individuals can act. At that point, the focus shifts from who should inherit the assets to who has legal authority to act on behalf of the estate. That distinction frequently creates confusion. Family expectations often rely on intent. Legal systems rely on documentation and verification. When required paperwork is incomplete or delayed, inheritance can slow significantly. Beneficiary designations and wills Many retirement and brokerage accounts use beneficiary designations on their retirement accounts. When completed correctly and kept current, they normally allow assets to transfer directly to heirs without probate. Financial institutions still require verification before releasing assets. But regular brokerage accounts don't usually have the possibility of a beneficiary designation. "What about transfer-on-death accounts (TOD)?" you might ask. If the account owner and heirs all live in the United States, that might work, but for people who live overseas, the TOD may not work and the brokerage firms may require a probated will. Probate is the court-supervised process that confirms who has legal authority to inherit assets. Depending on jurisdiction and estate complexity, it can take considerable time and delay account access. Power of attorney can create misunderstandings. While it may allow someone to manage accounts during a person's lifetime, that authority generally ends at death. Even if a family member previously helped manage accounts, that control disappears once the account holder passes away. Online account logins do not replace legal authority and continued use after death can create additional complications. Additional documentation cross-border families often face Cross-border inheritance frequently introduces procedural steps that families do not anticipate. Documents may require notarization, apostilles, or translation. Financial institutions may request tax clearance before releasing assets. Communication often involves multiple time zones and unfamiliar regulatory processes. Each requirement exists for protective and regulatory reasons. Financial institutions must verify identity, confirm authority, and comply with legal obligations. For families managing responsibilities from another country, the administrative process can still feel overwhelming. Many individuals assume that having a will resolves these challenges. A will remains an important estate planning document, but it functions within the legal system where it was created. When heirs live abroad, additional validation steps may still be required. Why inheritance paperwork often continues after assets transfer Inheritance rarely ends when accounts transfer. It often unfolds in stages that may include estate administration, account restructuring, and tax considerations across multiple countries. In the United States, estate taxes may apply depending on estate size and applicable thresholds. In Israel, receiving inherited assets may create reporting obligations depending on the circumstances. If inherited investments are later sold, capital gains rules in one or both countries may apply. Retirement accounts such as IRAs can introduce further complexity. Required minimum distributions may create ongoing reporting responsibilities and potential taxable events based on the heir's individual situation. This article is intended for educational purposes only and should not be considered financial, legal, or tax advice. Each situation involves unique factors and should be reviewed with qualified professionals. Planning that may help reduce future delays Cross-border estate planning does not eliminate complexity, but it can reduce uncertainty and help coordinate financial, legal, and administrative processes. Families who experience smoother inheritance transitions often share several habits. They periodically review beneficiary designations to confirm they reflect current intentions. They maintain organized records of accounts, financial institutions, and contact details. They revisit estate planning documents after relocating to Israel to confirm the structure remains effective. When planning evolves alongside life changes, families often encounter fewer unexpected administrative obstacles. Practical steps that may improve preparedness Americans living in Israel who maintain U.S. investment accounts may benefit from several foundational steps. Maintaining a consolidated list of accounts can help family members identify financial institutions and contact details if needed. Reviewing beneficiary designations can help confirm retirement accounts align with estate planning goals. Discussing financial account access with family members may help clarify who should contact financial institutions and which documentation may be required. These steps do not eliminate every challenge, but they may reduce uncertainty and help families navigate complex situations more effectively.

Episode summary Computer-science-turned-cognitive-science researcher and yoga therapist Chen Or Bach joins Amy to share a candid journey from academia to cancer survivorship, from mat-based practice to living yoga moment-to-moment. We trace how the pañca-kośa model reframed her healing, why standards and accreditation helped yoga integrate into Israeli healthcare, and what it means to let go of familiar tools and still remain fully in the path. It's a forward-looking conversation about bringing steadiness (sthira) and sweetness (sukha) into real life—mountain trails, laundry folding, and all.Listen forNature as practice: Boulder's mountains as living teachers of stability in change.Pañca-kośa in plain life: tending annamaya, prāṇamaya, manomaya, vijñānamaya, and especially ānandamaya—not as theory but daily design.When the practice stops “working”: giving yourself permission to let go of certain tools (āsana, set routines) and allow yoga to become how you meet each moment.Healthcare integration: how Israel's modular 1,000-hour training (500 teacher + 500 therapy with specialty tracks) supported hospital uptake.Karma yoga without burnout: serving the field while protecting one's vitality (tapas with svādhyāya and īśvara-praṇidhāna—Kriyā Yoga in action).Key takeawaysĀnanda is not optional. Many of us optimize the outer layers (food, steps) and starve ānandamaya kośa. Intentionally design joy-creating activities; the outer layers flourish downstream.Your practice can change shape. If a tool stops serving, it's not failure—it's viveka (discernment). Let the aim (clarity, compassion, steadiness) stay constant while methods evolve.Standards serve people. Thoughtful accreditation isn't bureaucracy—it's ahimsā and satya for clients and health systems: clear scope, reliable skills, safer care.Karma yoga needs boundaries. Service without self-regulation fuels burnout. Pair tapas with rest, supervision, and community—abhyāsa with vairāgya.Practical micro-practices (try today)Joy audit (5 min): List three ordinary tasks. For each, name one sensory element you can savor (temperature of water while washing dishes, sound of leaves on a walk).Kośa check-in (2 min): Ask: What does my body/energy/mind/wisdom/joy need right now? Choose one small step.Walk as yoga (10–20 min): No metrics. Attend to breath cadence, ground contact, and horizon/sky—let attention, breath, and body cohere.Resources mentionedPātañjala Yoga Sūtra (as study companion during illness)Bhagavadgītā (as a source of resilience and meaning)IAYT-inspired standards and Israel's modular specialty pathways (trauma, oncology, etc.)About our guest — Chen Or Bach Chen Or Bach blends cognitive/neuroscience training with decades of yoga practice and service. In Israel, she helped advance standards that enabled yoga and yoga therapy to integrate into mainstream healthcare, including rehabilitation settings (e.g., TBI). Now based in Boulder, she continues to teach, mentor, and model a life where all life is yoga.Pull quotes“Once your attention, breath, and body are in the same place, the game changes.”“If one tool stops serving you, the tradition still has a thousand doors.”“I stopped ‘doing' yoga and started being it—moment by moment.”“Standards aren't red tape; they're how we protect people.”School of Integrative Health at NDMU: https://www.ndm.edu/academics/integrative-healthMaster of Science in Yoga Therapy at NDMU https://www.ndm.edu/academics/integrative-health/yoga-therapy Explore NDMU's Post-Master's Certificate in Therapeutic Yoga Practices, designed specifically for licensed healthcare professionals. https://www.ndm.edu/academics/integrative-health/yoga-therapy/post-masters-certificate-in-therapeutic-yoga-practices Try our Post-Bac Ayurveda Certification Program at NDMU: https://www.ndm.edu/academics/integrative-health/ayurveda/post-baccalaureate-ayurveda-certification#IntegrativeHealth #HealthcareEducation #InterprofessionalEducation #GraduateSchool #NDMUproud #SOIHproud #SOIHYoga #SOIHAyurveda #NDMUYoga #NDMUAyurveda #SOIHGraduateSchool

In Israel, families whose sons have died in the war in Gaza have the option of having sperm samples retrieved for future offspring. Many have agreed to the procedure. That has raised complicated questions of what can and should be done with this genetic material. Learn more about sponsor message choices: podcastchoices.com/adchoicesNPR Privacy Policy
If conspirituality names the ways religion and spirituality are weaponized to justify power, prospirituality points to religious traditions doing the opposite: grounding resistance, ethical clarity, and solidarity in moments of crisis. So: is there a growing prospirituality response to fascism, genocide, climate collapse, and AI-driven labor precarity? Matthew argues that yeah, there's some good news. In Israel, scripture has been mobilized by political and religious leaders to sacralize violence in Gaza. But there's also a surge of Jewish religious resistance among U.S. rabbis and Peter Beinart's On Being Jewish After Gaza sets a new landmark of reckoning. Mona Haydar's rapping and chaplaincy models a form of Muslim spirituality that is feminist, anti-genocide, and rooted in mutual aid, while resisting both Islamophobia and liberal domestication. Then there's Pope Leo's escalating critiques of U.S. immigration policy and his renewed emphasis on liberation theology.

In Israel erodiert die Rechtsstaatlichkeit. So lautet die Einschätzung des Historikers Omer Bartov. Er sieht Anzeichen von Apartheid. Von den zwei Bevölkerungsgruppen besitze eine demokratische Rechte, die andere habe gar keine. Rohde, Stephanie www.deutschlandfunk.de, Interviews
Merriam-Webster's Word of the Day for December 15, 2025 is: dreidel • DRAY-dul • noun A dreidel is a 4-sided toy marked with Hebrew letters and spun like a top in a game of chance. The game, played by children especially at Hanukkah, is also called dreidel. // All the kids in the family look forward to playing dreidel together during Hanukkah. See the entry > Examples: “The Jewish tradition has always been syncretic, adapting and responding to the culture around it, he [Rabbi Steven Philp] said. Hanukkah is ‘a great example of this,' Philp said, noting that the holiday's traditions—like spinning the dreidel, eating latkes or potato pancakes, and munching on ... jelly-filled doughnuts—are customs that were borrowed from neighboring cultures over time.” — Kate Heather, The Chicago Sun-Times, 25 Dec. 2024 Did you know? If your dreidel is spinning beneath the glow of the menorah, it's probably the Jewish festival of lights known as Hanukkah. The holiday celebrates the miracle of a small amount of oil—enough for one day—burning for eight days in the Temple of Jerusalem. And though it's a toy, the dreidel's design is very much an homage: on each of its four sides is inscribed a Hebrew letter—nun, gimel, he, and shin—which together stand for Nes gadol haya sham, meaning “A great miracle happened there.” (In Israel, the letter pe, short for po, “here,” is often used instead of shin). In the game of dreidel, each letter bears its own significance: the dreidel is spun and depending on which letter is on top when it lands, the player's currency, or gelt, is added to or taken from the pot. Nun means the player does nothing; gimel means the player gets everything; he means the player gets half; and shin means the player adds to the pot. Wherever you land on holiday traditions, we wish you words of gimel: gratitude, grub, and, of course, gaiety.

Our story picks up with Joash (the hidden royal) being brought forth at the age of seven and hailed as the king of Judah followed by the death of Athaliah. Peace reigns in Judah as we see over 100 years of four fairly "good" kings reigning in Judah from 835-731 B.C. These kings started well but didn't always finish well: Joash, Amaziah, Uzziah and Jotham. King Joash ⁃ Takes the kingship at age 7 ⁃ Jehoiada, the High Priest, is Joash's mentor, advisor and instructor ⁃ Spiritual reformation was taking place across Judah as Joash starts out so well with Jehoiada as his advisor - until Jehoiada's death ⁃ Joash then gets new advisors (2 Chronicles 24:17-18) and they led him astray, worshiping idols and God's anger came. ⁃ Zechariah is the High Priest after Jehoiada. Zechariah was Jehoiada's son. He tells Joash and his new advisors of their sin against God, so they plot to kill him. 2 Chronicles 24:20. Zechariah is stoned to death. ⁃ Hazael is victorious in bottles over Judah ⁃ Then Joash's assignation follows Amaziah ⁃ Amaziah is Joash's son - Amaziah starts well but doesn't finish well, following the pattern of his father. ⁃ Mercenaries come from Israel ⁃ Amaziah is given victory as he acts on the words of God through a prophet. 2 Chronicles 25:9 ⁃ But then Amaziah brings idols back from that victory. 2 Chronicles 25:15. Again a prophet comes to Amaziah to warn him, but this time Amaziah doesn't listen. ⁃ He is then defeated by Jehoash, king of Israel and he too is assassinated. King Uzziah (also known as Azariah) ⁃ Uzziah is Amaziah's son. 2 Chronicles 26:4-5 tells that he had godly counsel and as long as he sought the Lord, God gave him success. ⁃ He was an extremely capable king ⁃ Ruled for 52 years ⁃ In Israel, Jeroboam II was ruling. Uzziah and Jeroboam II expanded both nations to the original size of the kingdom at the time of David and Solomon. ⁃ New prophets arise during the reign of Jeroboam II and Uzziah: Jonah, Amos, Hosea and Isaiah ⁃ Their kingdoms experienced the glory days of David and Solomon ⁃ But then Uzziah does not finish well. His pride went to his head and he usurped the role of the priests in burning the incense and immediately gets leprosy. 2 Chronicles 26:16-17 King Jotham ⁃ Uziah's son, Jotham becomes king of Judah. 2 Chronicles 27:2. He did what was right in the eyes of the Lord, but the people, however, continued their corrupt practices. ⁃ Battle with the Ammonites - Godly king who is victorious over the Ammonites. 2 Chronicles 27:6 ⁃ Prosperity & Spiritual decline begins. The renewal did not spread throughout all the people. ⁃ We see the growing power of their enemy in Assyria Next week our story continues with the rise of the power of the Assyrians. Now What?

Welcome to The Daily, where we study the Bible verse by verse, chapter by chapter, every day. Today's shout-out goes to Andrew Leck from Rosehill, KS. Your commitment through Project23 helps deliver God's Word daily with clarity and conviction. This one's for you. Our text today is Judges 13:2-3 There was a certain man of Zorah, of the tribe of the Danites, whose name was Manoah. And his wife was barren and had no children. And the angel of the Lord appeared to the woman and said to her, "Behold, you are barren and have not borne children, but you shall conceive and bear a son." — Judges 13:2-3 In Israel's darkest moment, God zeroed in on a barren woman from an obscure tribe. She had no children, no status, and no future by cultural standards. Yet it's here that the angel of the Lord appeared, promising not only a son but a son who would begin to save Israel from the Philistines. This is God's pattern throughout Scripture: He delights in breaking into barren, hopeless places—Abraham and Sarah, Hannah, Elizabeth—and now Manoah's wife. Where human strength fails, divine power shines through. We all know what "barrenness" feels like. It may not be a womb, but it could be a dream that won't come alive, a marriage that feels stuck, a career that's dried up, or a prayer that seems unanswered. Barrenness whispers to us all, "Nothing will ever change." But God specializes in stepping into impossible situations. He doesn't just comfort us in our emptiness—He often uses it as the very stage to display his power. That's what he did here: from a barren woman came Samson, a deliverer. And from another barren womb centuries later came Jesus, the ultimate Deliverer. Never despise those barren seasons. They may be the very soil where God plants his greatest miracles in your lives. Instead of despairing, bring your barrenness to him in prayer today—write it down, speak it out, and surrender it. Hope grows when we put our barrenness into his hands. ASK THIS: Where do I feel barren or hopeless in life right now? Do I believe God can step into that place with power? How can I shift from despair to expectation in my prayers? DO THIS: Write down one area of life that feels barren. Instead of hiding it, bring it before God in prayer today, asking Him to show His power in what feels impossible. PRAY THIS: Lord, meet me in the barren places of my life. Where I see hopelessness, bring Your promise. Where I see emptiness, bring Your power. Help me trust that You can do the impossible. Amen. PLAY THIS: "We Need A Miracle."

Two very different experiences — one rooted in quiet, personal hauntings, the other in a dangerous game gone horribly wrong — combine to create one unforgettable episode of true paranormal stories. The first comes from Jamie in New York, who has always sensed things others miss. In Israel, standing among ancient mountain ruins, Jamie felt a tap on her shoulder though no one was near. Years later she saw a TV investigation filmed at the same ruins — capturing footsteps and voices exactly where she'd been touched. Back home, tragedy struck when Jamie's uncle passed away. Days after his death, she entered his apartment to feed the cats… and saw him sitting calmly at the kitchen table, gazing out the window. He disappeared the moment she blinked, but the unsettling feeling of being watched lingered — in the apartment hallway, even in the empty gym at night where a treadmill mysteriously shut off on its own. The second story shifts from eerie to downright chilling. A caller describes performing what was supposed to be a “safe” Reddit ritual at a friend's sleepover — a hypnotic game meant to reveal something about your life. Instead, her friend entered a vision where an unnaturally tall shadow figure appeared, whispered in her ear, and followed her down a hallway she claimed to see behind closed eyes. The friend awoke gasping for air and was never the same again. #TrueGhostStory #RealHaunting #ShadowFigure #RitualGoneWrong #HauntedRuins #ParanormalExperience #GhostEncounter #UnexplainedEvents #ScaryStoryTime #RealGhostStories Love real ghost stories?
