Passover’s Eternal Flame David WilderMarch 29, 2013 This time of the year is always special. Spring is arriving, the weather becoming really beautiful, and lots and lots of people in Hebron. Hebron’s Passover celebration included, this year, well over 50,000 people. Wednesday and Thursday were the ‘big days’ with all of Ma’arat HaMachpela open to Jewish visitors, including the Isaac […]

Over the past few days I’ve seen numerous articles, effectively open letters to Obama, suggesting courses of action while here in Israel. I believe it much more important, not to advise the President, rather to speak to Israeli leaders, those now holding the reins of power in our country.Most groups that I guide here in Hebron visit, among other places, […]

Friday Mar 15, 2013 Black Smoke Let’s play a little name recognition game: Esther Ochana – ring a bell?

Standing outside was Rabbi Moshe Levinger, taking in the scene. Which was, dozens of children playing outside. I could almost feel his fulfillment, […]

Bibi and Bar IlanDavid WilderFebruary 20, 2013 Many years ago, when I first came to Israel, I lived on the Rav Berlin Street in Jerusalem. I later learned that the name “Berlin” belonged to a great Torah sage, Rabbi Naftali Tzvi Yehuda Berlin, known as the ‘Netziv.’ Years later I knew his great grandson, a Torah scholar with the same […]

Yeah – Hebron has an MK! David WilderJanuary 25, 2013 Well, the election is history. The results weren’t exactly what we’d have prayed for, nor were they what we expected. The polls showed slightly different results. On the other hand, despite errors similar to those made in 1992, the left-wing dream of a ’mahapach,’ that is a ’revolution,’ a changing of the guard, a total defeat of […]

Shevat 3, 5773, 1/14/2013 Reverse Russian Roulette This morning I received word that an unusual event was about to take place. Former Foreign Minister Avigdor Yvette Lieberman was coming to visit in Hebron.   Why unusual? Numerous diplomats, including ministers and MKs visit Hebron fairly frequently. What was different this time was the personality, the visitor. I have no recollection when was the last time Lieberman visited Hebron. […]

A few of them:  No number 1: This morning on IsraelNationalNews (Arutz 7): Prime Minister Binyamin Netanyahu […]
