לקבוע תור אצל מוֹשֶׁה, האורטופד המפורסם, שמעולם לא נרתע מלהתמודד עם מקרים קשים.En: After days of hesitation, he relented and decided to listen to her — to make an appointment with Moshe, the famous orthopedic doctor who never shied away from challenging cases.He: יום הייעוץ הגיע.En: The consultation day arrived.He: יַרְדֵן נכנס לקליניקה של מוֹשֶׁה, חש את ריח הפריחה הנכנס מהחלונות הפתוחים.En: Yarden entered Moshe's clinic, feeling the scent of blossoms coming in from the open windows.He: תמונות של נופים וקירות צבועים בגוונים שלוויים קיבלו את פניו.En: Pictures of landscapes and walls painted in soothing tones greeted him.He: מוֹשֶׁה התבונן בו בעיניים חדות והאזין בסבלנות לסיפורו.En: Moshe looked at him with sharp eyes and patiently listened to his story.He: לאחר בדיקה יסודית, הוא הציג את תוכנית הטיפול.En: After a thorough examination, he presented the treatment plan.He: "יַרְדֵן, תצטרך לקחת הפסקה מהעבודה לפרק זמן קצר," אמר מוֹשֶׁה בקול יציב.En: "Yarden, you will need to take a short break from work," said Moshe with a steady voice.He: "נוכל לשפר את מצב הברך אם נשתדל ביחד.En: "We can improve the knee's condition if we work together.He: זה דורש שינוי בהרגלים אך זה חיוני.En: It requires a change in habits, but it is essential."He: "הלב של יַרְדֵן נלחץ.En: Yarden's heart sank.He: לוותר על העבודה?En: Give up work?He: איך יסתדר עם ההתחייבויות שלו?En: How would he manage his commitments?He: אך המבט על פניו של מוֹשֶׁה, והמילים המרגיעות של אִילְיָנָה שמילאו את ראשו, עשו את עבודתן.En: But the look on Moshe's face, and the calming words of Iliana that filled his mind, did their job.He: יַרְדֵן החליט להקשיב, להכניס איזון לחייו.En: Yarden decided to listen, to bring balance into his life.He: עם החזרה הביתה, הוא התחיל ברצון להסדיר את לוח הזמנים, לשלוח פרויקטים לעובדים ולחפש דרכים לשלב את הבראה יחד עם קריירה.En: Upon returning home, he began with the resolve to reorganize his schedule, delegate projects to colleagues, and find ways to combine recovery with his career.He: במשך הזמן, הוא הבין שהבריאות חשובה לא פחות מהעבודה, ואפשר לנהל את הזמן בצורה חכמה ואחראית.En: Over time, he realized that health is just as important as work, and it's possible to manage time wisely and responsibly.He: הנחישות של אִילְיָנָא והתמיכה שלה הצילו אותו.En: The determination and support of Iliana saved him.He: כשסוף סוף הברך החלימה, ההרים חיכו גם הם לו, והפעם הוא יצא אליהם לא רק מחדש, אלא גם מחוזק יותר מתמיד.En: When the knee finally healed, the mountains awaited him too, and this time he embarked on them not only renewed but also stronger than ever.

Nations of Canaan were completely fearful after miracles of crossing the Yarden, the Jews performed a communal mila, they celebrated Pesach and manna stopped, a Malach (Michael) conversed with Yehoshua signaling he'd help them conquer Yericho

Jews finished crossing the Yarden and the Aron miraculously floated over the Yarden carrying it's carriers with it, 2 sets of stones were erected as monuments for future remembrance of that days miracles

Jews are commanded in the unique ways they would travel moving forward, Kohanim carry Aron and miracles of the Yarden occur with the Jews crossing to the mainland and the Kohanim remaining inside the dry riverbed

It was an astonishing moment in the White House last night, as Donald Trump was interrupted by his secretary of state Marco Rubio during a press conference discussing radical ‘Antifa' groups with some major news - a peace deal in Gaza was close to being struck.If Trump can pull off peace in the region, then calls for him to win the Nobel Peace Prize, which happens to be announced on Friday, will only grow louder.On today's Daily T podcast, we speak to Gili Roman, whose sister Yarden was amongst the first hostages to be released by Hamas in November 2023, Israeli deputy foreign minister Sharren Haskel, and Trump's great friend Piers Morgan who all agree on one thing - the President must win it.► Sign up to our most popular newsletter, From the Editor.

You are to talk about them when you sit at home, when you are traveling on the road, when you lie down and when you get up.Genesis 50:1 Yosef fell on his father's face, wept over him and kissed him. 2 Then Yosef ordered the physicians in his service to embalm his father. So the physicians embalmed Isra'el. 3 Forty days were spent at this, the normal amount of time for embalming. Then the Egyptians mourned for him seventy days.Genesis 50:4 When the period of mourning was over, Yosef addressed to the household of Pharaoh: "I would like to ask a favor. Tell Pharaoh, 5 `My father had me swear an oath. He said, "I am going to die. You are to bury me in my grave, which I dug for myself in the land of Kena`an." Therefore, I beg you, let me go up and bury my father; I will return.'" 6 Pharaoh responded, "Go up and bury your father, as he made you swear."Genesis 50:7 So Yosef went up to bury his father. With him went all Pharaoh's servants, the leaders of his household and the leaders of the land of Egypt, 8 along with the entire household of Yosef, his brothers and his father's household; only their little ones, their flocks and their cattle did they leave in the land of Goshen. 9 Moreover, there went up with him both chariots and horsemen — it was a very large caravan.Genesis 50:10 When they arrived at the threshing-floor in Atad, beyond the Yarden, they raised a loud and bitter lamentation, mourning for his father seven days. 11 When the local inhabitants, the Kena`ani, saw the mourning on the floor of Atad they said, "How bitterly the Egyptians are mourning!" This is why the place was given the name Avel-Mitzrayim [mourning of Egypt], there beyond the Yarden.Genesis 50:12 His sons did to him as he had ordered them to do — 13 they carried him into the land of Kena`an and buried him in the cave in the field of Makhpelah, which Avraham had bought, along with the field, as a burial-place belonging to him, from `Efron the Hitti, by Mamre.Genesis 50:14 Then, after burying his father, Yosef returned to Egypt, he, his brothers and all who had gone up with him to bury his father.Genesis 50:15 Realizing that their father was dead, Yosef's brothers said, "Yosef may hate us now and pay us back in full for all the suffering we caused him." 16 So they sent a message to Yosef which said, "Your father gave this order before he died: 17 `Say to Yosef, "I beg you now, please forgive your brothers' crime and wickedness in doing you harm."' So now, we beg of you, forgive the crime of the servants of the G_d of your father." Yosef wept when they spoke to him; 18 and his brothers too came, prostrated themselves before him and said, "Here, we are your slaves." Genesis 50:19 But Yosef said to them, "Don't be afraid! Am I in the place of G_d? 20 You meant to do me harm, but G_d meant it for good — so that it would come about as it is today, with many people's lives being saved. 21 So don't be afraid — I will provide for you and your little ones." In this way he comforted them, speaking kindly to them.Genesis 50:22 Yosef continued living in Egypt, he and his father's household. Yosef lived 110 years. 23 Yosef lived to see Efrayim's great-grandchildren, and the children of M'nasheh's son Makhir were born on Yosef's knees.Genesis 50:24 Yosef said to his brothers, "I am dying. But G_d will surely remember you and bring you up out of this land to the land which he swore to Avraham, Yitz'chak and Ya`akov." 25 Then Yosef took an oath from the sons of Isra'el: "G_d will surely remember you, and you are to carry my bones up from here." 26 So Yosef died at the age of 110, and they embalmed him and put him in a coffin in Egypt.https://www.biblegateway.com/passage/?search=Proverbs%2022%3A6&version=CJBProverbs 22:6Train a child in the way he [should] go; and, even when old, he will not swerve from it.Credit to:Photo by Melvin Matute from Pexels: https://www.pexels.com/photo/close-up-of-parents-and-child-palms-together-6211446/Photo by RDNE Stock project from Pexels: https://www.pexels.com/photo/close-up-shot-of-a-tombstone-6841236/

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 Amanda Borschel-Dan for today's episode. Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu will meet US President Donald Trump at 1 p.m. local time at the White House. The two leaders are expected to discuss the new tariffs Trump imposed on Israel, efforts to roll back Iran and its proxy network and hostage talks with Hamas. Taking each point in turn, Magid fill us in on what to look out for from this spontaneous trip and what Netanyahu hopes to accomplish. Hamas is prepared to release all of the remaining hostages at once in exchange for a permanent ceasefire, a senior Palestinian official familiar with the ongoing truce talks told Magid last week. Magid was approached by a Hamas figure who resides outside of Gaza, who wants Israelis to know that amid Israel’s longstanding rejection of this type of trade, Hamas is still prepared to release a number of hostages as part of a renewed temporary ceasefire. We hear more. The Hebrew name of a spotted orange butterfly has been changed to honor murdered hostage Ariel Bibas by the Academy of the Hebrew Language, the Bibas family announced Friday. The academy last week officially informed the family, and on Thursday hand-delivered a letter addressed to Bibas’s father, Yarden — who was also taken hostage but released in February under a ceasefire deal — of the final decision to rename Melitaea ornata (eastern knapweed fritillary). Using one of the biblical names of Jerusalem, Ariel, the name of the butterfly was replaced in Hebrew from Kitmit Yerushalayim (Orange Jerusalem) to Kitmit Ariel (Orange Ariel) in honor of the four-year-old. Borschel-Dan explains the back story behind this change. Please see today's ongoing liveblog for more updates.

Yosi Shnaider's life came to a screeching halt on October 7th 2023, when Hamas invaded Israel, brutally murdered his aunt and uncle and kidnapped his cousins, Shiri, Yarden, Kfir & Ariel. Advocating & fighting for their return for over 16 months, Yosi insists that everyone must continue speaking out against the unimaginable losses, destruction and ongoing hostages in Gaza.

Today's daf is sponsored by Yarden and Guy in honor of Leah Zelda Shechter's birthday! What happens to someone who doesn't teach Torah to others? What happens to someone who does? Rava, Ravina and Rav Ashi brought three more verses to prove the resurrection of the dead. Rabbi Elazar brought a statement relating to the resurrection of the dead. From there, the Gemara brings several statements from Rabbi Elazar about different topics, including the value of de'ah, leaving bread of the table in case a poor person shows up, and being humble. A braita from the school of Eliyahu teaches that when the dead are resurrected, they will not die again. The Gemara brings the verses in Ezekiel where Ezekiel brings the bones back to life. Can this be brought as a source for the resurrection of the dead or to prove that when they are brought back to life, they will not live forever? Various interpretations are brought to explain whether he really resurrected the dead (or was it just a parable) and if he did, whether they lived for a few moments or went on to lead full lives. Another question is who were the people who Ezekiel resurrected? Several suggestions are brought, and the last interpretation leads into the story of Chanania, Mishael, and Azarya.

Host Noam Weissman reflects on one of the most devastating periods since October 7, 2023-- the past week, which brought us the deaths of Oded Lifshitz and 3/4 of the Bibas family. From the abduction of Yarden, Shiri, and their young sons Ariel and Kfir at Kibbutz Nir Oz to the deceptive handling of their remains, the brutal murders have left an indelible scar on Israel. The episode draws parallels with iconic historical images like Anne Frank and Napalm Girl and honors the legacy of peace activist Oded Lifshitz, whose life work exemplified hope amid violence. Join us as we reflect on these harrowing events, expose media manipulation, and call for a future where human dignity prevails over terror. IDF Spokesman Daniel Hagari's televised statement.

I'm sure you remember the images of Kfir and Ariel Bibas. They were just nine months and four years old when they were kidnapped by Hamas along with their mother, Shiri, on October 7, 2023. It was impossible to look at the image of her shielding them, her eyes full of terror, the children clinging to her, and not think of the Holocaust.  For more than 500 days, people around the world prayed for the safe return of these babies. Our hopes were raised on February 1, when the fourth member of the family—Yarden Bibas—was liberated after 484 days in Hamas captivity. But as this episode goes live, Kfir, Ariel, and Shiri Bibas won't be returning home alive. Hamas instead will hand over their remains.  How can Israel live alongside an enemy that kidnaps and murders babies? And what does it mean for us to live in a world, where people in the West tore down posters of the Bibas children.  My friend, Commentary magazine senior editor Seth Mandel, explains why in The Free Press:  “In a better world, the faces of the Bibas children would be everywhere at all times. In the world in which we live, by contrast, posters with those faces get torn down from bulletin boards. . . . The crimes against the Bibas family are indeed the symbol of the anti-civilizational menace that is Hamas—but also of the cowardice of the political and cultural leaders of the enlightened West. . . . It is impossible for the rest of us to pretend that we didn't see a chunk of society, whether in person or online, rush to cross that line and cheer on the people who kidnapped two babies . . . .Kfir became a symbol because he is the answer to every relevant question about this conflict. His case is the war boiled down to its essence. Kfir is the dividing line. In a better world, there'd be no one standing on the wrong side of it.” Before the devastating news of the Bibas children broke, Bari sat down with Matti Friedman, Free Press correspondent in Jerusalem. They happened to talk on the very day that Kfir and Ariel's father, Yarden, was released after being kept in unimaginable conditions. Now Yarden confronts the nightmare that his entire family was murdered. Bari and Matti talk about the toll of this war, why returning the hostages is so fundamentally important to the future of Israel, about the rise of anti-Jewish hate, and about how to be American, Jewish, and Zionist all at the same time, and how Jews are waking up to a new reality in 2025.  If you liked what you heard from Honestly, the best way to support us is to go to TheFP.com and become a Free Press subscriber today.

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. Editor David Horovitz joins host Amanda Borschel-Dan for today's episode. Three Israeli hostages were freed from Hamas captivity today and returned to their families in Israel: Yarden Bibas, Ofer Calderon and Keith Siegel. Horovitz compares today's two release "ceremonies" with the bedlam experienced on Thursday. We also learn how Hamas symbolically reminded onlookers of the horrors of October 7, 2023. As we are increasingly hearing details of how those who are now released were treated in captivity, the mother of freed hostage Emily Damari revealed Friday that her daughter was held by Hamas at UNRWA facilities in the Gaza Strip, and that her captors refused to give her access to medical treatment. Horovitz weighs in on how seriously the world will listen to the freed hostages. Israel freed 183 Palestinian prisoners on Saturday, shortly after three Israeli hostages taken by Hamas on October 7 were released by the terror group in the Gaza Strip. According to Palestinian authorities, 18 of the prisoners were serving life sentences. Alongside the return of their brothers in arms, what else are Hamas's aims in the release of these terror masterminds? Twelve more living hostages are meant to be freed in the coming weeks of phase one. Later this week, negotiations are supposed to begin in earnest on phase two of the accord. How does Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu's trip to Washington, DC, further Israel's goals? For news updates, please check out The Times of Israel’s ongoing live blog.

Eleven months after Oct.7, Israel and the Jewish people are still grieving. Last week we received the terrible news that six hostages were murdered, after surviving for nearly a year. Navigating grief and hope during ongoing heartache and war is extremely complicated to navigate, especially in the wake of such tragic news. In this episode of Unpacking Israeli History, Noam pays tribute to the six beautiful lives taken too soon: Carmel, Almog, Eden, Alexander, Ori, and Hersh. He then interviews Kibbutz Beeri resident Yarden Tzemach about his family's experience on Oct.7 and its aftermath. Yarden and Noam discuss Kibbutz Beeri's history and future while reflecting on what it means to rebuild.
