More than nine months has elapsed since the Biden administration released its self-proclaimed ‘first-ever U.S. National Strategy to Counter Antisemitism” with great fanfare. It has proved to be an abject failure. Many of us warned that the plan was fatally flawed from the beginning because of its failure to adopt the International Holocaust Remembrance Alliance’s…

In what is yet the harshest condemnation of the State of Israel by a member of the Biden administration, Vice President Kamala Harris has demanded an “immediate ceasefire” and insisted Israel “must open new border crossings and not impose any unnecessary restrictions on the delivery of aid” to residents of Gaza. Speaking in front of…

In an expression of gratitude and solidarity, a Jewish delegation, led by Israel Heritage Foundation, met with President Trump at Mar-a-Lago this week. The meeting, which took place on Monday, February 26, demonstrates the foundation’s outreach towards those who support the Jewish people, advocate for Israel and combat antisemitism.  Israel Heritage Foundation Executive Director Rabbi…

This week’s parshah primarily focuses on the making of the garments of the kohanim [priests] of the Tabernacle. [Interestingly, it is the only Parshah after Shemot where Moshe’s name cannot be found – much ink has been spilled to offer varied approaches to why that is the case]. There were a total of eight articles…

This week’s Parshah contains the commandment to build a Tabernacle for G-d, what the Pesukim call the “Mishkan.” Ramban [25’ 10’] comments on a seeming inconsistency in the text–when G-d issues the command to build the various components of the Mishkan [such as the Menorah and the copper Altar], the command is always given in…

“Despite the unique challenges Israel faces in its war against Hamas, it has implemented more measures to prevent civilian casualties than any other military in history,” wrote John W. Spencer, the chair of Urban Warfare Studies at the Modern War Institute at West Point in New York. Israel is conducting a just and legal defensive…

This week’s parshah (Torah portion) represents the paradigm shift of the Torah, where, right after the giving of the Torah at Har Sinai, the narrative shifts from that of a [mostly] sequential storyline, into the gritty details of what it means to be a Jew – i.e., knowing and following the commandments and mitzvot. Towards…

Last Monday evening I was invited by Israel Heritage Foundation (IHF) for an intimate dinner with Ministers of the Knesset Simcha Dan Rothman and Ohad Tal, both members of the reigning Religious Zionist Party, the far-Right voice where much of our readership is aligned. The duo arrived in the United States to share the realities…

The “day after” Israel’s war with Hamas, the United States must help ensure that nothing like the Oct. 7 Hamas massacre can ever happen again. Yet even now, Washington is pressuring Israel to replace Hamas in Gaza with the Palestinian Authority. This would be a serious mistake. First, no P.A. government would last. Among the…

Israel is on the front lines of a war against the U.S. launched by Islamic radicals led by the Iranian regime and its proxies, including Hamas. Hamas and its supporters are not only antisemites. They also hate all non-Muslims, the West in general and especially the U.S. Their ultimate goal is to conquer the world…
