Of course no one is shocked that babies and innocent are being threaded with their lives by having civilian populations fired upon!   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.

(Bettmann/Getty Images) Ethiopia's Hidden Tribes & Unreal Nature—The Budget Adventure No One Talks About |Travel Documentary For those who dare to think Machon Shilo Who are we? Machon Shilo, under the leadership of haRav David Bar Hayim, is dedicated to the promotion, discovery, and dissemination of Torat Eretz Yisrael, the halachic approach and method that the Jewish people need to serve Hashem and keep his Torah as an independent nation in their homeland. The Rav defines this mission as "laying the groundwork for a restatement and reconstitution of Jewish thought and practice, based on the Written Law and the Oral Tradition (Torah ShebiKhtav and Torah SheBa'al Peh), in order to facilitate the realization of the Jewish nation's divinely mandated purpose and duty to establish "a nation of priests, a holy people (שמות יט:ו)". At present, though millions of Jews have fulfilled the dream of their forefathers to return home, they have brought with them their identity as members of a specific galut community. The local customs and traditions of Hungarian, Yemenite, Polish, Iraqi, Lithuanian, Moroccan, and other communities served an essential role in helping the Jewish people survive nearly two thousand years of exile. Today, however, we have more to do than merely survive: we have been given the opportunity, and therefore the obligation, to fulfill the command of the Torah to create a mamlechet kohanim v'goy kadosh, replete with a Jewish king, a Jewish Sanhedrin, and, of course, the Temple in Yerushalayim. The emphasis on preserving ethnic identities and traditions makes it impossible for religious Jews to work meaningfully towards these goals or to provide a credible model of national Jewish leadership. Only by embracing Torat Eretz Yisrael can we fulfil our national mission. Torat Eretz Yisrael The concept of Torat Eretz Yisrael combines many elements: Using the full range of halachic texts bequeathed to us by Hazal, including the Yerushalmi and Tosefta, rather than arbitrarily giving the Talmud Bavli exclusive dominance. Re-examining established practices and rulings that contradict the primary halachic sources from Hazal. Drawing on the liturgical tradition from Eretz Yisrael, which ended with the near-extinction of the community during the crusades. An approach to p'sak halacha that is based on assumption that by adhering to halacha, as defined and transmitted to us by Hazal, we are fulfilling the will of the Creator and that His will is not dependent on which exile community our grandfathers lived in. Back to the future The underlying principle of mainstream orthodoxy is not to change. This ideology was developed in response to the haskalah and resulting reformist movements, and the Jewish people owe an eternal debt to the titanic figures of the past 200 years who ensured the survival of halacha in the face of mass apostasy and assimilation. The truth remains, however, that in many cases the Torah and halacha themselves demand change and today we are clearly mandated to repair many broken elements of the halachic system, and to rebuild others that have not existed for generations. Machon Shilo draws on a tradition going back to the greatest of the rishonim – including the Rambam and Ramban – who were not afraid to correct errant practices according to their considered understanding of primary halachic texts. It also finds inspiration in the writings of haRav Avraham Kook, who articulated the need for an updated halachic system to meet the needs – and duties – of the Jewish people in the era of kibbutz galuyot. These teachings of Rav Kook have been forgotten by most of the National Religious world, but the urgent necessity of heeding them becomes more evident with each passing year.

Israel's generous burial policy will become unsustainable as population ages, study warns With annual death toll expected to double by mid-2040s, report from Taub Center calls for rethinking approach to burials, including adopting higher-density practices to prevent 'cities of the dead' By Zev Stub Israel's generous burial policy will become unsustainable as population ages, study warns | The Times of Israel A view from the Mount of Olives in Jerusalem, with the Old City and Temple Mount in the background, November 17, 2025 (Zev Stub/Times of Israel) Israel drone supplier booted from Brooklyn Navy Yard After NYC Mayor Zohran Mamdani takes office, NYC City Hall evicts Israel drone supplier from Brooklyn Navy Yard. Israel drone supplier booted from Brooklyn Navy Yard | Israel National News RABBI SCHWARTZ'S TERRIBLE IRAN WAR JOKES OF THE WEEK Being an Israeli means to get annoyed that you received an alert in which was never followed up by a siren about a ballistic missile that was on its way to kill you. I just turned off the news and put on a serial killer documentary to relax. A missile fell in Bnai Brak in an open area. The Mayor is wondering where there is still an open area in the city. The heads of all the local organizations are as well on their way to find city budgets to develop it. What do you call a pig with lights and sirens on it's back? Hambulance. A missile fell in Tiverya the city planners said to leave it there. It fits in with all of the other potholes in city. A missile lands in Tiverya and takes one look and turns around and says "it looks like you did the work here already without me. 2026 the year when women in pants dropped bombs on men in dresses IRC General- Should we blow up the Nuclear Reactor in Iran? Ayatolla's heir- Not painful enough. Let's shut down school during Pesach cleaning. Iran warns Israel it has huge stockpile of cardboard Supreme leaders. Today is the tenth day which is one week and three days in the counting of Chol Hamoed Purim. Do not believe the News. The United States and Israel di not bomb Iran. It was mostly a peaceful protest against their Nuclear weapons facilities. Homeland Security has ordered a return to normal schedules conditionally. Parents can decided all children that don't help with Pesach cleaning have to return to school tomorrow. At the rate my family is eating here over the past few days. There won't be anything left to sell for Pesach. Home Front Command/ Pikud Ha'oref clarifies that a refrigerator is not a safe secure shelter. There's no need to go into it every ten minutes. Fun Fact: There have been no flights to Iran for 46 years. For over a week no all flights from Israel have only been to Iran. Talk about making up for lost time… Our Purim food is almost used up. Now what will we eat in the mamad Iran: Our missile accuracy is almost 100% 95 percent of our missiles have made direct hits with Israeli rocket launchers. Israel remains the only country in the world that knows exactly when a missile will fall, but can't tell you when the next bus is meant to arrive.
