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.
"Whoever harms us, we'll harm them sevenfold," vows Defense Minister Israel Katz • "It is Iran that is firing ballistic missiles at the State of Israel, and it must bear responsibility," says National Unity chief Benny Gantz.
A ballistic missile fired from Yemen struck near Israel's Ben-Gurion International Airport on Sunday morning, lightly to moderately wounding six people and disrupting takeoffs and arrivals.
The attack triggered air-raid sirens across central Israel, including in Tel Aviv, Jerusalem and the Shfela/Judaean Foothills. Several attempts were made to intercept the missile, according to the Israel Defense Forces.
A ballistic missile fired from Yemen struck near Israel's Ben-Gurion International Airport on Sunday morning, lightly to moderately wounding six people and disrupting takeoffs and arrivals.
The attack triggered air-raid sirens across central Israel, including in Tel Aviv, Jerusalem and the Shfela/Judaean Foothills. Several attempts were made to intercept the missile, according to the Israel Defense Forces.
The U.S.-made THAAD system attempted to intercept the missile but failed, as did Israel's Arrow system, Channel 14 military correspondent Hillel Bitton Rosen reported. Authorities are investigating whether the blast near Terminal 3 was caused by a direct hit, missile fragments or interceptor debris. Police bomb squads and security forces remain on scene.
Magen David Adom updated its casualty figures on Sunday afternoon, reporting that six people were treated and transported to hospitals: a man in his 50s in light-to-moderate condition with limb injuries; two women, ages 54 and 38, in light condition due to blast-related trauma; a 64-year-old man lightly wounded by flying debris; and two women, aged 22 and 34, who were hurt while running for shelter.
The victims were evacuated to Shamir Medical Center (formerly known as Assaf Harofeh Medical Center) in Be'er Ya'akov, and Sheba Medical Center at Tel Hashomer in Ramat Gan.
The incident sparked panic at Ben-Gurion Airport. Police and rescue personnel quickly cordoned off the impact area at Terminal 3 and dispatched fire teams to check for additional hazards.
The chairman of the airport workers' union said one person suffered a confirmed minor injury in the vicinity of Terminal 3, and that authorities are investigating whether further safety procedures will impact upcoming flights.

The greatest Holocaust memorial is not a museum, it is Israel
The Mandate for Palestine conferred the right of the Jews to settle anywhere between the Jordan River and the Mediterranean Sea. This entitlement has not been changed in international law. Opinion.
The National Day of Prayer has been held every year since about 1952. This year, 2025, was the first time it was held at the White House.
President Donald Trump invited about 200 persons to attend the National Day of Prayer in the Rose Garden.
While there, he made a special announcement. He created the Presidential National Commission on Religious Liberty.
We have had such a commission for international issues. This is the first time we have had one for our own nation.
Why did he do this? Evangelical Christians and traditional Catholics, under the Biden Administration, have experienced religious persecution.
This is an enormous step forward for our nation, bringing us back to our original founding roots. It was such a joy and delight to be present for this ceremony in the Rose Garden.
