The Three Musketeers at the Kotel

The Three are Rabbi Yehuda Glick, famous temple mount activist, and former Israel Mk, and then Robert Weinger, the world's greatest shofar blower and seller of Shofars, and myself after we had gone to the 12 gates of the Temple Mount in 2020 to blow the shofar to ask G-d to heal the world from the Pandemic. It was a highlight to my experience in living in Israel and I put it on my blog each day to remember.

The articles that I include each day are those that I find interesting, so I feel you will find them interesting as well. I don't always agree with all the points of each article but found them interesting or important to share with you, my readers, and friends. It is cathartic for me to share my thoughts and frustrations with you about life in general and in Israel. As a Rabbi, I try to teach and share the Torah of the G-d of Israel as a modern Orthodox Rabbi. I never intend to offend anyone but sometimes people are offended and I apologize in advance for any mistakes. The most important psychological principle I have learned is that once someone's mind is made up, they don't want to be bothered with the facts, so, like Rabbi Akiva, I drip water (Torah is compared to water) on their made-up minds and hope that some of what I have share sinks in. Love Rabbi Yehuda Lave.

The 18 Day War: 50 years ago Israel was nearly destroyed

Heroism held the line, turning the tide to victory, but did not excuse the disastrous failures that nearly ended the State of Israel.

The Portion of Miketz

Light at the End of the Tunnel

Years of darkness pass over Joseph after being thrown into prison for no legitimate reason

Even Pharoh's Chief Butler, in whom Joseph at placed his hope, forgot all about him.

Pharoh then dreams a dream which no one is able to interpret.

And then the Chief Butler remembers Joseph., who is summoned to the palace to interpret Pharoh's dream. As a result of the successful interpretation, Joseph is appointed to a senior position, symbolized by his being given Pharoh's ring. Joseph is enrobed with royal garments and here the darkness gives way to the light at the end of the tunnel.

All this transpires as Joseph is thirty years old and this is alluded to by the addition to the letter "lamed" (whose numerical value is thirty) in the word "vayalbeish" (and he attired him) (Genesis 41;42). (Remazei Rabbenu Yoel)
