VOLODYMYR ZELENSKYY AND THE EVOLUTION OF UKRAINIAN IDENTITY Colleague Professor Eugene Finkel. Finkel profiles Volodymyr Zelenskyy, noting his background as a Russian-speaking Jewish media entrepreneur and comedian who built a career in Moscow. Zelenskyy's rise illustrates a shift in Ukrainian identity from ethnic definitions to a civic nationalism based on loyalty to the state. Elected as an outsider to replace failed politicians, Zelenskyy initially hoped his background and communication skills would allow him to negotiate peace with Putin. His presidency challenged Russian propaganda painting Ukrainian nationalists as extremists, representing instead a diverse, modern nation unified by political commitment rather than language.

What if God is working powerfully in your life, even when your circumstances feel wrong, unfair, or out of your control? In Esther 2, we see how God can still work all things for good even when obedience, safety, and faith feel compromised.In this episode of our Esther Bible Study, we walk through the historical reality of King Xerxes and the forced gathering of young women into the Persian harem. Moving beyond the "romance" myths, we uncover the dark and uncomfortable reality of Hadassah's transformation into Queen Esther. We'll explore:The Intriguing Power of Two Names: Why the author introduces her as both Hadassah and Esther and what it means for her hidden identity.The Saul-Mordecai Connection: Uncovering the "Bible Bender" linking Esther's uncle Mordecai (son of Kish) to King Saul's ancient conflict with the Amalekites.Finding Favor: How God used Hegai (the king's eunuch) and divine providence to position a Jewish orphan for a royal crown.The Book of Esther holds powerful wisdom we can apply to our lives today and we'll dive deeper into these three themes from Esther 2:God is the Master Strategist: Even when you feel like a pawn, God is moving the board to position you for a purpose you can't see yet.You don't have to be perfect for God to use you: Esther's story proves that God works through "imperfect faith" and complicated situations to bring about good.Favor is a Gift, Not a Hustle: We explore how Esther "won favor" not through manipulation, but through a divinely-guided character that stood out in a crowded room.This episode invites you to stop judging appearances and start trusting God's unseen work in your own life, even when your story doesn't look the way you expected.We love feedback, but can't reply without your email address.

Klezmer music may have its roots in the Jewish communities of Eastern Europe, but it found a home here in NY in the 1920s and 30s, and the klezmer revival that began almost a half century ago was also centered in New York. Clarinetist Michael Winograd has been a major figure on the klezmer music scene for a couple of decades now, both as a composer and as a kind of music historian. His current project is a remake of a 1955 album that flopped at the time and is now considered a classic meeting of klezmer and jazz. That album was called Tanz!, Yiddish for dance, and Michael Winograd leads a stellar lineup of musicians to play some of the tunes, in-studio. 1.

From June 18, 2024: On June 2, Mexico held one of the largest elections in its history and the electorate voted in the country's first women, and Jewish, president, Claudia Sheinbaum. Sheinbaum was endorsed by outgoing President Andrés Manuel López Obrador (AMLO), who critics charge as pushing a series of anti-democratic policies including a substantial judicial overhaul. To discuss this historic election and what President-elect Claudia Sheinbaum may do in office, Lawfare Associate Editor for Communications Anna Hickey sat down with former United States Ambassador Roberta Jacobson. They discussed the issues voters were concerned about, political violence by cartels plaguing the country, and whether Sheinbaum will follow AMLO's trajectory as a populist or chart her own path.

Tariff authority by second-term Republican President Donald Trump was not decided by the U.S. Supreme Court on Friday, meaning the federal government can continue to collect the revenue for now.

The next thing we saw were drones, a lot of drones, flying over our positions. We didn’t know how to react. Interviewer: So what happened next? How was the main attack? Security Guard: After those drones appeared, some helicopters arrived, but there were very few. I think barely eight helicopters. From those helicopters, soldiers came down, but a very small number. Maybe twenty men. But those men were technologically very advanced. They didn’t look like anything we’ve fought against before. Interviewer: And then the battle began? Security Guard: Yes, but it was a massacre. We were hundreds, but we had no chance. They were shooting with such precision and speed… it seemed like each soldier was firing 300 rounds per minute. We couldn’t do anything. Interviewer: And your own weapons? Didn’t they help? Security Guard: No help at all. Because it wasn’t just the weapons. At one point, they launched something—I don’t know how to describe it… it was like a very intense sound wave. Suddenly I felt like my head was exploding from the inside. We all started bleeding from the nose. Some were vomiting blood. We fell to the ground, unable to move. Interviewer: And your comrades? Did they manage to resist? Security Guard: No, not at all. Those twenty men, without a single casualty, killed hundreds of us. We had no way to compete with their technology, with their weapons. I swear, I’ve never seen anything like it. We couldn’t even stand up after that sonic weapon or whatever it was. Interviewer: So do you think the rest of the region should think twice before confronting the Americans? Security Guard: Without a doubt. I’m sending a warning to anyone who thinks they can fight the United States. They have no idea what they’re capable of. After what I saw, I never want to be on the other side of that again. They’re not to be messed with. Interviewer: And now that Trump has said Mexico is on the list, do you think the situation will change in Latin America? Security Guard: Definitely. Everyone is already talking about this. No one wants to go through what we went through. Now everyone thinks twice. What happened here is going to change a lot of things, not just in Venezuela but throughout the region. https://twitter.com/WarClandestine/status/2010081288804499739?s=20  Trump To Meet Venezuelan Opposition Leader María Corina Machado Next Week President Trump plans to meet with Venezuelan opposition leader María Corina Machado next week during her planned visit to the United States. This development comes despite his earlier reluctance to back her for the country’s top leadership role. Trump told Fox News host Sean Hannity in a taped interview that aired Thursday night that he understands Machado is “coming in next week sometime” and looks forward to saying hello to her.  Source: zerohedge.com https://twitter.com/ElectionWiz/status/2010085234415714622?s=20 https://twitter.com/jk_rowling/status/2010189173937058174?s=20 https://twitter.com/AutistDivision/status/2009937092608983066?s=20  https://twitter.com/disclosetv/status/2010217195415236641?s=20 https://twitter.com/DataRepublican/status/2009953358581485759?s=20 while still buying Russian oil; sermonizing about democracy while condemning Maduro's ouster; ignoring protests in Iran while fretting over the return of a king… all contradictions that conveniently sustain NGO growth and EU rent-seeking. Like it or not, Trump is dismantling your grift and rewriting the world order. You don’t have any logical reason to oppose it, except you hate that your era of dependence on US taxpayers is finally ending. So all you can do is appeal to emotions and invent a war out of thin cloth. War/Peace Russia Strikes Back Using Hypersonic Missiles Against Kiev Following Drone Attack on Putin's Residence Someone launched the drones from Ukraine and targeted them at Putin's residence to send a message.  There is considerable debate online about it, but if President Trump and Volodymyr Zelenskyy are speaking truthfully, the most likely suspect who launched the drones was British intelligence inside Ukraine.  Then again, if the CIA was factually involved, everyone would have to deny it. In retaliation for the December 29th attack, yesterday Russia fired a hypersonic Oreshnik missile and counterattack drones directly into the heart of Kiev, Ukraine. The use of the Oreshnik missile comes just hours after Russian President Putin asserted publicly that Ukraine, Europe and NATO have no defenses against the hypersonics. President Zelenskyy said the Russian attack involved 242 drones, 13 ballistic missiles, one Oreshnik missile and 22 cruise missiles. However, as with all things Zelenskyy, this dramatic claim seems to be slightly exaggerated. Russia claims they targeted key electricity infrastructure as well as the production facilities for building drones in Kiev which are collocated in residential areas.

His “trilogy” strategy is a purposeful plan, to remove the cabal control over our national security, by investing in new companies that are focused on advanced technologies for our military. The military industrial complex is being FORCED to compete with these new companies aligned with Trump. Which companies? 1) Palantir > expertise in data intelligence. 2) Anduril > autonomous weapons systems. 3) General Matter > next generation energy infrastructure. These three companies are the tip of the spear, when it comes to future warfare. Trump is funding their technological advancements and they are playing critical roles in our defense and the country's future. It's not a coincidence that Trump has recently criticized the big defense contractors. “Ah, the military industrial complex (MIC), that great behemoth blob that eats your tax dollars as a fat kid eats fried foods. Trump announced Wednesday that he plans to trim some of its fat and crack down on a notorious practice among defense companies: stock buybacks.” “Trump on the defense contractors focusing on Wall Street instead of production: “Defense contractors are currently issuing dividends and massive stock buybacks, at the expense of investing in plants and equipment. This will no longer be allowed or tolerated!” “All United State Defense Contractors, and the Defense Industry as a whole, BEWARE: While we make the best Military Equipment in the World (No other Country is even close!), Defense Contractors are currently issuing massive Dividends to their Shareholders and massive Stock Buybacks, at the expense and detriment of investing in Plants and Equipment,” Trump said. “From this moment forward, these Executives must build NEW and MODERN Production Plants, both for delivering and maintaining this important Equipment, and for building the latest Models of future Military Equipment,” the president went on. “Until they do so, no Executive should be allowed to make in excess of $5 Million Dollars which, as high as it sounds, is a mere fraction of what they are making now.” A stock buyback is when a company uses its own cash to buy its own shares on the public market to reduce the total number of shares and juice the shares' value.” https://dailycaller.com/2026/01/09/donald-trump-defense-contractors-military-stock-buybacks-dividends-tax-dollars-ceo-salaries/ This has been a huge scam on Wall Street for a long time. A company uses their cash or debt in order to buy back their own companies stock, which drives up the price. Their bonus and salary are based on that stock price, not their company's performance or whether or not they are fulfilling their contracts. That crooked scam is ending. They will build plants, hire more workers and complete their obligations on time and on budget or lose government contracts. Trump has the ability as Commander in Chief, to take over these defense contractors because of “national security.” And that leverage will be applied. The Commander in Chief has extraordinary power during WAR and national emergencies. The military industrial complex is now being dismantled. But have you heard what else, Thiel is deeply involved in? Thiel is also helping to transform our financial system too. This transformation is focused on “stablecoins.” It's another trilogy strategy. Thiel is building a comprehensive ecosystem, based on “compliance,” infrastructure, and financial control. Have you heard of these companies? 1) Bullish Exchange > front end trading platform for a “stablecoin” ecosystem. 2) Erebor Digital Bank > backend infrastructure for “stablecoin” transactions. 3) Ubyx > “stablecoin” clearing protocol. Trump is pushing “stablecoins” because of NATIONAL SECURITY.

I am a father not a mom. But sums it up pretty well, what was she thinking?I'm a mother, so I'm going to comment right now. I will say this exactly the way a mother thinks it, raw, direct, and without pretending this is complicated.A 37-year-old woman. Three kids. Middle of a work week. The father of those children is dead. She is the parent left. The one job she has above every cause, every protest, every headline, is getting home to her kids.And what is she doing instead?She's out of state (other reports claim she lives there), in the street, in her car, blocking federal agents who are doing their job. Not alone! Her partner is right there filming her like this is some brave little documentary moment. Around them: sirens blaring, people yelling, pure chaos, manufactured chaos, so agents can't do their lawful duty.Her window is down. She hears the orders. She understands the orders. She ignores the orders.Then she puts the car in reverse.Still doesn't comply.Then she puts it in drive, NOT park! She moves forward into the agent.That's not “confusion.”That's not “panic.”That's decision after decision after decision.Now put yourself in the agent's shoes for half a second. A driver is already in an unlawful act! refusing commands in a hostile, chaotic scene, and now that driver uses a vehicle to move toward you. You get a split second. You don't get the luxury of “Maybe she's just stressed.” You have to assume the worst, you have to think of protecting other people like the partner at the window, because if you assume the best and you're wrong, you don't go home or someone else.So the agent fires after she makes an intentional and aggressive move toward him, because he has no idea what her intentions are, and she just demonstrated she's willing to escalate.Now… imagine her three kids. At school. Sitting there like any other day. Not knowing their mother is out playing street-hero games for criminals in the middle of a work week, with the two adults responsible for them!She didn't think about them.She didn't think, “If I get arrested, who picks my babies up?”She didn't think, “If I get hurt, who raises them?”She didn't think, “If I die, they have nobody.”She thought about protecting criminals.She thought about interfering with federal agents.She thought about the camera.She thought about the crowd.She thought about the moment.There is no amount of evidence, money, tears on TV, or news spin that can make this make sense.As a mother: NOTHING about this makes sense.At minimum, she knew her actions could get her arrested. At minimum. And she still chose it. She chose strangers. She chose chaos. She chose lawlessness.Make it make sense, because the only thing I see is three kids who just got abandoned by the only parent they had left, not by accident… but by a series of deliberate choices.  https://twitter.com/mattvanswol/status/2010336379721425112?s=20  me.

Arrest this man. https://twitter.com/CynicalPublius/status/2010045509776576779?s=20   nice effort in their eyes, but not good enough because we all saw the video. They need SOMETHING where the dead protestors are blameless. They are DESPERATELY seeking an image like the one below. Keep this in mind in the days and weeks ahead. Chicago Police Superintendent Reminds the Public ICE Is Law Enforcement and Has Authority Over Citizens Instagram and other social media posts have spread false claims that ICE agents are not law enforcement, have no authority over citizens, and that citizens or even illegal aliens should resist them. These posts also falsely claim that people are not required to comply with ICE orders, that ICE lacks arrest power without a warrant, or that ICE cannot arrest a citizen. All of this is untrue. These misconceptions are fueling resistance to ICE, including escalating violence and chaos. Chicago Police Superintendent Larry Snelling said during a press conference the day after an ICE agent shot and killed Renee Nicole Good in self-defense that ICE personnel are sworn law enforcement officers and must be treated as such. Snelling said that when federal agents are boxed in by vehicles, it is reasonable for them to believe they are being ambushed and that the situation could quickly become deadly. “If you box them in with vehicles, it is reasonable for them to believe that they are being ambushed,” he said, adding that officers are justified in using force in self-defense under those conditions. He warned the public not to interfere with law enforcement operations, stressing that boxing in any officer is illegal and dangerous. “You are breaking the law when you do that, and you are putting yourself in danger,” Snelling said. He added that officers are justified in viewing individuals who persistently follow them as potential threats.

Diplomatic correspondent Lazar Berman joins host Amanda Borschel-Dan for today's episode. Iran’s parliament speaker has threatened to attack Israel and US military and shipping targets, were the US to launch a strike on the country that is increasingly isolated from the world by the theocratic regime. As nationwide protests reached the two-week mark today, we discuss how Iran’s Crown Prince Reza Pahlavi is trying to position himself as a player in his country’s future and the nexus between the anti-regime protests and Israel. The US military said on Saturday that it had carried out multiple strikes in Syria targeting the Islamic State terror group as part of an operation that Washington launched in December after an attack on American personnel on December 13. At the same time, after talks in Paris last week, Israel and Syria agreed to create a mechanism that will facilitate de-escalation, diplomacy and commercial opportunities between the two countries, according to a joint statement from the two countries and the US that was released by Washington. We unwind what is happening on the ground. Under a military aid package negotiated in 2016, Israel receives some $3.8 billion annually from the US, mostly in the form of subsidies to buy American-made arms. The aid package, which took effect in 2018, is set to expire in 2028. Recently, Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu is making statements that add up to a growing interest for Israel to wean itself from this aid. Berman weighs in.

Our Parsha begins in the middle of the dialogue between Moses and God. Moses' initial foray into saving the nation has gone horribly awry. Instead of alleviating the pain of the Jewish nation; his intervention exacerbated it, and he returned to the Almighty asking for an explanation. In His response, God tells Moses that he will yet see the tremendous miracles and signs of the pending Exodus. In our parsha, that plan begins to unfold, and we read about the first seven of the eventual Ten Plagues.– – – – – – – – – – – – – – – – – – – – – –DONATE: Please consider supporting the podcasts by making a donation to help fund our Jewish outreach and educational efforts at https://www.torchweb.org/support.php.

In this Mussar Masterclass (Day 116) from Orchos Tzaddikim's Gate of Silence, Rabbi Aryeh Wolbe teaches the seven hallmarks of a wise person (chacham) versus a fool (golem): a wise person speaks only after greater/older people, avoids interrupting, answers thoughtfully and in order, admits "I didn't hear" or "I don't know," and concedes truth—while a fool does the opposite.Silence earns reward when listening to the wise, but becomes sinful when rooted in arrogance ("I know more"). Wise speech adds flavor like salt or a ruby in gold; weak or foolish words are ignored. If your advice is rejected, quietly share it through someone influential instead of persisting.Idle chatter (sichah betelah) destroys concentration in prayer and fear of heaven—guarding speech like precious jewels in layered safes is essential. The episode concludes with an introduction to four categories (mockers, liars, flatterers, slanderers) who cannot receive the Divine Presence, promising deeper exploration next time.Recorded at TORCH Centre in the Levin Family Studios (B) to a live audience on July 1, 2025, in Houston, Texas.Released as Podcast on January 11, 2026_____________This series on Orchos Tzadikim/Ways of the Righteous is produced in partnership with Hachzek.Join the revolution of daily Mussar study at hachzek.com.We are using the Treasure of Life edition of the Orchos Tzadikkim (Published by Feldheim)_____________Listen, Subscribe & Share: Apple Podcasts: https://podcasts.apple.com/us/podcast/jewish-inspiration-podcast-rabbi-aryeh-wolbe/id1476610783Spotify: https://open.spotify.com/show/4r0KfjMzmCNQbiNaZBCSU7) to stay inspired! Share your questions at aw@torchweb.org or visit torchweb.org for more Torah content.  _____________About the Host:Rabbi Aryeh Wolbe, Director of TORCH in Houston, brings decades of Torah scholarship to guide listeners in applying Jewish wisdom to daily life.  To directly send your questions, comments, and feedback, please email: awolbe@torchweb.org_____________Support Our Mission:Our Mission is Connecting Jews & Judaism.

Stop and think about who Jesus was speaking to when He said the following: "Come to me, all who labor and are heavy laden, and I will give you rest." Of course, it was directed specifically at those (Jewish people) who had been held under an unprofitable law which required them to work at hearing and *doing* all of it in order to *try* to attain to right standing with God. There was no rest for them to enter into within that system of the stone-tablet ministry. Unfortunately, some of that obsolete arrangement has trickled down similar concepts to corporate Christianity today. God has not placed you *under arrest* only to be released on parole based upon rehabilitation and good behavior. Through Christ, He has placed you under *a rest.* He is the One who sets captives free. This is the reality and truth for you right now, even if you don't always feel as though you are experiencing such perfect peace and rest at all times. While the religious world loves to strike a "balance" ... and will try to regulate your rest based on regulations and law-like lifelessness planted in decrees and ordinances, we have been given something much better in the New Covenant of Jesus Christ. It's God's grace—and it will bring internal and eternal peace when we embrace it. He died so we could live in it. --Available on Amazon - "Clash of The Covenants: Escaping Religious Bondage Through the Grace Guarantee" https://www.amazon.com/dp/B0713ZSKY7

"In this week's episode, we sit down for a natural, open conversation with Tzvi Blumenfeld — a legend in the heimish music industry and one of the most respected bandleaders in Jewish music. As the leader of Freilich, Tzvi has played a major role in shaping the sound of weddings and large-scale Jewish events.We cover a wide range of topics, including the major shift we've seen over the last few years in Jewish music — moving from long, complex, and heavily arranged tracks to shorter, lighter, and more accessible songs, often built around clear messages that people connect to. Tzvi shares his perspective on why this shift is happening and where he sees Jewish music heading. He also breaks down the real process of preparing a full music band for weddings and major events, shares practical tips for beginners entering the industry, and explains the key differences between Chassidish and Litvish weddings.Along the way, we get into the behind-the-scenes realities and some of the lesser-known secrets of the industry — from working with different types of musicians and singers to what really happens offstage. Tzvi also shares interesting stories from his career and explains how he handles situations when things go wrong, both live and in production.""And as always feel free to share your feedback

BEST OF TST: Violent crimes rates in cities like Washington D.C. might be falling but they remain hundreds of times above the national average. Their drop may also be a result of a neglect to even report crimes. National Guard troops being sent into the city will do very little if anything to stop non-violent crime either because crimes are usually reported after the fact, both violent and non-violent. Troops are not going to stop burglary, larceny, and grand theft auto. Besides, why is crime so bad and how do these conditions develop? Also, what is the point of going after drug cartels south of the border if pharmaceutical cartels are left alone? Few know that south and Central American drug cartels get funding, weapons, and training from the Israeli government, just as that country's military and former IDF train U.S. police departments. The increase in crime, drug use, illegal immigration, etc., is not just the result of social democracy but according to Israeli newspapers a punishment for the U.S. not taking enough Jewish refuges during WWII, even though they took the most. A recent Times of Israel article also claimed that Trump is burdened with Epstein controversy because he dared to question the Israeli Prime Minister, i.e., he isn't Israel-first enough. This is precisely how Zionist terrorist groups treated British mandated Palestine, with acts of terrorism against British officials because they didn't give them enough of what they demanded. Israel has also killed 6 journalists recently, and hundreds since 2023, blaming their deaths on affiliations with Hamas, while ignoring thousands of protestors in Tel Aviv who would be hard to classify as Hamas supporters. Netanyahu's announcement that he is losing the “propaganda war” is itself propaganda considering how much control his people have over the White House, social media, and mainstream media, even having recently met with podcasters and influencers to give them talking points.*The is the FREE archive, which includes advertisements.

A father and son sit down for an unusually honest conversation about Jewish identity, continuity, and choice. Allen Horowitz was raised with a strong cultural Jewish pride but little religious observance; his son Meir grew up the same way, until a series of experiences slowly pulled him in a radically different direction. What begins as a familiar American Jewish story turns into something far more complex, touching on interfaith dating, generational expectations, and the quiet questions people are often afraid to ask out loud. As Meir's curiosity deepens, through travel, community, and personal struggle, father and son find themselves navigating a widening gap in worldview while trying to preserve trust, respect, and love. This episode isn't about convincing or converting; it's about watching a relationship adapt in real time as one person changes and the other learns how to respond. A raw, thoughtful look at faith, fear, autonomy, and what it really means to support someone you love, even when their path isn't the one you imagined.

Charlie Kirk's murder wasn't a chance—it was a calculated Zionist takedown of the last barrier to Jewish control of America, unleashing Venezuela invasions, Mexico wars, and rigged civil riots straight from Tel Aviv's playbook. With Kirk erased, scheming Israeli donors and their DC puppets sacrifice American blood for stolen oil and endless foreign schemes, prepping their jets to flee while we burn.  

The Satmar Rav, Rav Yoel Teitelbaum, was rescued on the Kastner train. How did this great leader of Hungarian Orthodoxy and chassidic community, who was well known for his vocal opposition to Zionism, receive a place of rescue on the train which was organized by the secular Zionist Aid and Rescue Committee of Budapest? Insights into his inclusion broadens our understanding of how the rescue train story developed. Other famous individuals were rescued on the Kastner train as well. In conclusion it's worth summarizing the entire story of the negotiations with the SS and the rescue train's departure from Budapest, through its stay in Bergen-Belsen. Clarifying the chronological sequence of events will provide a good review of the entire train story, so that we can transition to the story of the trial in the next installment.  Subscribe to Jewish History Soundbites Podcast on: PodBean: https://jsoundbites.podbean.com/ or your favorite podcast platform Follow us on LinkedIn, Twitter or Instagram at @Jsoundbites For sponsorship opportunities about your favorite topics of Jewish history or feedback contact Yehuda at: yehuda@yehudageberer.com

Christian, John Luke, Al, and Zach reflect on how objectifying women leads to far-reaching consequences, using David's downfall as a sobering case study. They examine how lust distorts responsibility, turns people into collateral damage, and quietly erodes families and faith long before the fallout becomes public. Al uses his own experience with infidelity in a marriage to point to hope rooted in Psalm 51, which urges repentance, humility, and restoration as the only path forward after failure. In this episode: 2 Samuel 11, verses 1–27; 2 Samuel 12, verses 1–14; 2 Samuel 12, verses 15–23; Psalm 51, verses 1–19; Genesis 1, verse 28; Genesis 39, verses 7–12; Exodus 1, verses 1–8; Revelation 12, verse 11; 1 Kings 2, verses 1–4; Ezekiel 23, verses 1–35 Today's conversation is about Lesson 6 of The David Story: Shepherd, Father, King taught by Hillsdale Professor Justin Jackson.

WESTCHESTER AND THE AMERICANIZATION OF JUDAISM Colleague Josh Hammer. Growing up in a secular Jewish environment, dropping out of Hebrew school, and the later discovery of conservatism and Edmund Burke leading to religious observance. NUMBER 21936 RAMALLAH

PREVIEW FOR LATER TODAY ISRAEL AND CIVILIZATION: ANTI-WESTERN SENTIMENT ON CAMPUSColleague Josh Hammer. Columnist Josh Hammer discusses his book Israel and Civilization, arguing that anti-Israelprotests at universities like George Washington University are proxies for anti-Western sentiment. Hammer suggests these activists view Israel as a "little Satan" representing Western nation-states, aiming to dismantle Westerncivilization alongside the Jewish state.1842 MASADA

Zionist vulture capitalist Paul Singer, Trump's mega-Jewish donor, just hijacked Citgo—the only U.S. heavy crude refinery—at dirt-cheap prices after Trump deliberately tanked its value through pirate ship seizures and brutal blockades. Now Trump is siphoning billions in stolen Venezuelan oil directly into Singer's coffers to bankroll Israel's endless wars and globalist schemes.   A white American mom of three was gunned down cold-blood by a faceless ICE agent in Minneapolis. Owen Shroyer teams with Stew to rip open this engineered psyop designed to unleash riots, crush freedoms, and force-feed the AI Gestapo down our throats. Is this the deep-state trigger for martial law? There is no law requiring Americans in the 50 states to file or pay federal income tax—yet trillions are seized to bomb nations for Jewish billionaires and push global degeneracy at gunpoint. Peymon Mottahedeh exposes the century-old fraud and gives you the exact, battle-tested steps to go exempt, keep your earnings, and join the millions already refusing to feed the swamp. Erika Kirk isn't just grieving—she's the centerpiece of a decades-long web connecting Romanian orphanages, U.S. military bases, and accusations of child trafficking that go straight to the top.  

Relations between Jews and Muslims in Morocco have historically been strong unlike elsewhere in North Africa and the Middle East. Although now relatively small, Morocco's vibrant Jewish community is still regarded as an important part of the country's history and culture. In Casablanca there are a number of functioning synagogues, kosher butchers and Jewish schools. More than a million Moroccan Jews now live in Israel and travel freely back and forth between the two countries. So how has the North African country managed to maintain a peaceful harmony while many other nations in the region have failed? And what could unsettle the balance? Mike Lanchin hears from some of the Moroccans from both faiths who have embraced this coexistence.

Israel and the Jewish people always seem to be in the headlines. Terrorism. War. Antisemitism on university campuses and around the globe. Jews are the topics of conversation in podcasts, on school campuses, and in our homes. Yet Christians are wondering about the modern State of Israel and contemporary Jewish people. Are they related to the biblical kingdom of Israel and the ancient Jewish people of the Scriptures? Others question whether Jewish people are only God’s people of yesterday, or do they have an ongoing place in God’s plan? How does the Church relate to the Jewish people and why should Christians care about the Jewish people and their homeland? Dr. Michael Rydelnik joins us to offer clarity and biblical guidance.Become a Parshall Partner: http://moodyradio.org/donateto/inthemarket/partnersSee omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

On today's pages, Zevachim 117 and 118, a poetic verse in Deuteronomy becomes a timeline of Jewish history, tracing how divine presence is experienced across eras. Rabbi Dovid Bashevkin helps us explore the shift from miraculous protection to mature partnership—and why the messianic vision is one of clarity rather than concealment. How does holiness change as we grow into it? Listen and find out.

Episode: 1502 In which the temptress Moon leads calendar-makers astray.  Today, the moon deceives us.

The pasuk says in this week's parashat Shemot, וַתֵּתַצַּב אֲחֹתוֹ מֵרָחֹק לְדֵעָה מַה־יֵּעָשֶׂה -לוֹ Simply, this refers to Miriam, Moshe's older sister, who was standing by watching what would happen to him when he was put into the Nile River. Rabbi Menashe Reizman quoted the Midrash which explains that this pasuk is referring to the Shechinah, standing there watching from afar. The Midrash proves from other pesukim how every word in that pasuk is a reference to the Shechinah. The Maharsha, Masechet Sotah, explains the Midrash is teaching us that although Moshe being thrown into the river seemed like an act of destruction, the ways of Hashem are very far from us. Miriam had a prophecy that the savior was going to be born, and this looked like a nullification of that prophecy. However, this was actually the way in which the prophecy became fulfilled. It was through this that Moshe was raised safely in the palace by the daughter of Pharoah. It also teaches us that although this took place when the harshest slavery began, it appeared that Hashem was so distant, but He was right there standing with them. During their darkest time, Hashem was making the greatest miracles—causing the daughter of Pharoah to go down to the Nile at the exact time Moshe was placed there, and then making the miracle of her arm stretching out to reach him. Rabbi Reizman pointed out that the Torah only devotes six pesukim to discussing all of the slavery in Mitzrayim. Right after that, begins the story of the redemption—how Moshe was born and how he became the go'el. Even the pesukim that speak about the throwing of the babies into the Nile mention Miryam and Yocheved, the mother and sister of the go'el. Perhaps one explanation of this is that we are not meant to dwell too much on the difficulties that we are given. It is hard for us to comprehend how pain and suffering could possibly be good for us, and therefore it is incumbent upon us not to analyze the details too deeply, but rather to trust in Hashem. When Hashem called to Moshe from the burning bush, the pasuk says that Moshe was afraid to look. Hashem appeared to Moshe in a thorn bush, symbolizing עִמּוֹ אָנֹכִי בְצָרָה -He was with us during that hard time. Moshe did not see all the harsh slave labor because he was in Midyan. The Mefarshim explain that here Hashem began showing Moshe the suffering that the Jewish people were going through, but Moshe was afraid to look because he did not want to lower his level of emunah and potentially have questions on the way Hashem was dealing with them. One of the harshest decrees was that Pharoah was killing 150 babies every morning and another 150 every evening, bathing in their blood because he had tzara'at. When Moshe heard about this, along with the fact that Jewish babies were being built into the walls as bricks, he asked Hashem what they did to deserve this. Hashem told Moshe that all of those babies were from previous generations and were receiving their tikkun. It was all chesed, meant to purify them. Hashem told Moshe that if he really wanted, he could save one—and Moshe did. That one baby-Micha- brought about the worst destruction. He was the one who took the Shem Hashem that Moshe used to bring Yosef's aron out of the sea, threw it into the fire when the Jews were waiting for Moshe to come down from Har Sinai, and caused the Egel(golden calf) to emerge alive. Until today, we are still suffering from the effects of the Egel. He later made an idol when they entered Eretz Yisrael, causing countless tragedies to befall the Jewish people. He was also known as Nevat, the father of Yeravam, who caused the exile of the Ten Tribes. That destruction came from just one of those babies. The Lev Aryeh writes that all those who perished in Mitzrayim were neshamot from earlier generations that returned for a tikkun—the generations of the Mabul, Dor HaPelagah, and the people of Sedom. The Mishnah says in Pirkei Avot, אַל תִּסְתַּכֵּל בַּקַּנְקָן אֶלָּא בְּמַה שֶּׁיֵּשׁ בּוֹ (Avot 4:20) The Lev Aryeh explains homiletically that this also refers to the tragedies in Mitzrayim. The word קן has the numerical value of 150. Do not look at what happened to the 150 babies in the morning and the 150 babies in the evening; rather, look at who those people really were—resha'im who needed a tikkun. Hashem is always standing near us, but He appears to be afar because His ways are so far beyond our understanding. Everything He does is chesed. We do not have the ability to comprehend His ways in this world, but we do have the ability to trust in Him. We should not dwell excessively on the difficulties; rather, we should believe that everything is chesed done out of love. And if we have that emunah, then we will be considered people who are truly loyal. Shabbat Shalom

In Step 7: Remnant, we meet Esther, a young Jewish exile who becomes the queen of Persia. But soon after she becomes queen, a villain named Haman plots to annihilate all the Jews in Persia. Esther, risking her life, enters the king's presence un-summoned and soon pleads for the salvation of her people. With courage and strategy, Esther unveils Haman's evil plan, leading to his downfall and the issuance of a new decree allowing the Jews to defend themselves. On the designated day, the Jews overcome their enemies, avoiding a holocaust.Suggested Readings:2 Chronicles 36:22-23Esther 3:1-15Esther 4:1-17Episode Highlights:The return of Jewish exiles to Jerusalem in three distinct wavesEsther's rise to become Queen of PersiaHaman's plot to destroy the Jewish peopleEsther's courageous intervention to save her peopleGod's providential care in preserving His chosen peopleSupport the showRead along with us in the Bible Brief App!

In this Mussar Masterclass (Day 115) from Orchos Tzaddikim's Gate of Silence, Rabbi Aryeh Wolbe explores when silence is not a virtue but harmful. While silence often protects from sin, one must speak up—gently and softly—to correct mockery of Torah/sages, rebuke transgressors, or prevent error, lest fools remain "wise in their own eyes." Harsh words destroy; soft answers turn away wrath.The rabbi stresses extreme care with speech: never shame, embarrass, or pain others (a biblical prohibition, including online); avoid discussing sensitive blemishes (physical, family, past mistakes) in front of those affected; don't remind repentant people of old sins; let others finish known stories without interrupting; and never reopen resolved quarrels, as it reignites conflict or embarrassment.True dignity lies in guarding others' feelings—silence preserves peace, but thoughtful, kind words build it. The class ends emphasizing maintaining human dignity in all interactions.Recorded at TORCH Centre in the Levin Family Studios (B) to a live audience on July 1, 2025, in Houston, Texas.Released as Podcast on January 9, 2026_____________This series on Orchos Tzadikim/Ways of the Righteous is produced in partnership with Hachzek.Join the revolution of daily Mussar study at hachzek.com.We are using the Treasure of Life edition of the Orchos Tzadikkim (Published by Feldheim)_____________Listen, Subscribe & Share: Apple Podcasts: https://podcasts.apple.com/us/podcast/jewish-inspiration-podcast-rabbi-aryeh-wolbe/id1476610783Spotify: https://open.spotify.com/show/4r0KfjMzmCNQbiNaZBCSU7) to stay inspired! Share your questions at aw@torchweb.org or visit torchweb.org for more Torah content.  _____________About the Host:Rabbi Aryeh Wolbe, Director of TORCH in Houston, brings decades of Torah scholarship to guide listeners in applying Jewish wisdom to daily life.  To directly send your questions, comments, and feedback, please email: awolbe@torchweb.org_____________Support Our Mission:Our Mission is Connecting Jews & Judaism.

How Did the Average Israelite View Jesus?: We all see Jesus differently! Over the past two weeks we've explored how the Romans dismissed His ministry and the Jewish religious leaders of His day considered it a threat. But the common Jewish people were much more interested in our Savior. We hear about “The People of the Land,” the average Israelites ...

Ali Siadatan returns to unpack one of the most loaded statements in Scripture: "As it was in the days of Noah, so shall it be at the coming of the Son of Man." But what if Jesus wasn't simply warning about moral decay? Ali argues that Christ's first-century Jewish audience would have understood Him to be pointing to a specific biblical age — one marked by the sons of God descending to earth, passing forbidden knowledge to humanity, and establishing Nephilim kings over an advanced civilization. That world was Atlantis before the flood wiped it from history. And according to the template, it's all happening again.Ali traces a stunning convergence of events around 1947: Israel's rebirth as a nation, the first major UFO sightings, and Jack Parsons conducting satanic rituals at Devil's Gate while the formula for solid rocket fuel suddenly "came to him." From the Nazis reconstructing the altar of Zeus in Nuremberg to declare the laws of the Holocaust, to the fourth industrial revolution now merging biology and technology, Ali makes the case that fallen angels are once again pouring knowledge into human civilization — not to help us, but to prepare humanity for war against the returning King. The sons of God have reappeared, their hybrid programs are underway, and we may soon be ruled by Nephilim kings just as Daniel prophesied. Atlantis is rising again.

Welcome to The Times of Israel's Daily Briefing, your 20-minute audio update on what's happening in Israel, the Middle East and the Jewish world. US bureau chief Jacob Magid joins host Jessica Steinberg for today's episode. Magid reports that despite the difficulties, the Trump administration wants to unveil the various components of phase two of the fragile Gaza ceasefire. This includes the technocratic Board of Peace, which currently has six countries on board from Europe and the Middle East. Magid notes that while senior aides to US President Donald Trump are sometimes frustrated with Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu regarding Middle East policies, the American leader's strategy is to keep the relationship warm, usually siding with the Israeli prime minister to keep moving forward on the various issues. After years of being stuck with third-generation cellphone service in the West Bank due to Israel's security control, Magid reports, Palestinians will now have access to 4G service. Check out The Times of Israel's ongoing liveblog for more updates.

In order to heal the rift between Jewish and Gentile believers, the Apostle Paul was willing to compromise with the very laws and customs he so adamantly preached against. But his plans were not God's plans and despite Paul's good intentions, the Jews of Jerusalem rose up against him. Join Dr. James Boice next time on The Bible Study Hour as he relates a rather bizarre event in the life of Paul and the anger of a mob that almost cost him his life.
