Biden Should Go Back To Supporting Israel In Full Force
Israeli Prime Minister Netanyahu formed a unity government on Oct. 12—just five days after the terrorist attacks in southern Israel by Hamas—and no longer is the Israeli government a so-called “narrow right-wing government.” Despite that fact, the Biden administration has made clear its goal to have the democratically elected prime minister removed from office. Senate…

Friends of Israel – Academy Awards
This year’s Academy Awards was marred by “Zone of Interest” filmmaker Jonathan Glazer’s libelous tirade against Israel. Hollywood does not reflect reality. Even its so called “reality shows” are manufactured and contrived. The real Academy Awards should be handed out to those heroes who have brought truth to the current world of lies and misinformation.…

The Real Value Of The Mishkan
This week’s Parshah starts off with an accounting of the materials and monies donated by the Jews for the construction of the Tabernacle. The first verse contains a noticeable and rather perplexing redundancy [Shemot 38’ 21’]: These are the records of the Tabernacle, the Tabernacle of Testimony, which were drawn up at Moses’ bidding—the work…

Shabbat As The Vehicle To Build The Temple, And Keep The Flame Of Hope Alive
This week’s parshah (Torah portion) primarily deals with the construction of the Mishkan (Tabernacle), as the Torah gives extreme detail of its architecture and design. Commentaries offer much depth behind the repetitive nature of these pesukim (verses); the only other parallel we have in the Torah of this much seemingly extraneous information being presented would be…

The Biden Administration’s Plan to Fight Antisemitism Has Failed
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…

PRESS RELEASE: IHF Letter on Kamala Harris
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…

Parshat Tetzaveh: The Might of The Shoham Stones
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…

Parshat Terumah: The Mystical Representations of The Aron
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…

Defeating Genocidal Hamas is Noble, Not Genocide
“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…
