Could the Arrest of Senior Fatah Terrorist Signal Future Instability in Judea and Samaria?

Yaakov Lappin

Absurdity of Land Swaps
Headline

Jewish
Parshas Vayakhel

Rabbi Yaakov Klass
.


Beauty In The Service Of God

Rabbi Lord Jonathan Sacks
The idea that one might worship “the work of men’s hands” was anathema to biblical faith. More generally, Judaism is a culture of the ear, not the eye. As a religion of the invisible God, it attaches sanctity to words heard, rather than objects seen. Religious art is never “art for art’s sake.” Unlike secular art, it points to something beyond itself.


Torah From A TV Anchor

Sivan Rahav-Meir
“The boy from Russia who was not accepted to study physics because he was a Jew is now part of a team that is sending off a spacecraft containing a disk with the entire Hebrew Bible scanned onto it and an Israeli flag.”


Parshat Vayakheil

Rabbi Dr. David Hertzberg
It is not enough to assemble one's people in one place. There must be a unifying mission.


Vayakhel: The End of Innocence, the Beginning of Life

Rabbi Dr. Gidon Rothstein
The Mishkan we eventually had could have become the place where the Jews connected with Hashem more fully or strongly even than at Sinai, perhaps. After the sin of the Golden Calf, it could never be the place of innocent joy it was meant to be.


Light Bulb Lady

Rabbi Hanoch Teller
A bright idea...


The Taxi Minyan

Rebbetzin Miriam Gross
That night a memorable prayer rose to Heaven and went straight to the Throne of Glory. It was offered by an unusual gathering, a minyan of Jews that one doesn't see every day.


Murder Is Now Legal in America

Rabbi Raphael Fuchs
Aren’t these basic common-sense laws that every civilization abides by? Why would anyone not accept the rule of law that banned such evil practices?


Is It Proper…? – Is There Anything Wrong With a Frum Jewish Man Looking Super Stylish?

Is It Proper…? – Is There Anything Wrong With a Frum Jewish Man Looking Super Stylish?


You Didn’t Need To Dress That Fancy

Rabbi Meir Orlian
The default assumption is that the other children allow this expense. However, they can protest, and are entitled to prohibit him from dressing henceforth at their expense.


Should You Light Shabbat Candles When Invited Out?

Rabbi Yaakov Hoffman
There is another course of action to consider: not lighting Shabbat candles at all! Before you are scandalized by my suggestion, allow me to explain.


Lights In The Corridor

Adena Hershberg
If I had had the chutzpah which I now possess, I would have loudly protested and demanded equal rights. Since I was a 15-year-old, well behaved student I obeyed him.


Daf Yomi

Rabbi Yaakov Klass
Stricter Than A Prohibition ‘We Rely on a Gentile…’ (Chullin 97a)


Everybody Wins

Rabbi Efrem Goldberg
Real faith means taking God to work with us and feeling not only His presence everywhere we go, but His partnership and investment in us and in our success.
