Victory at Beit HaShalom: A sweet way to begin the New YearThursday Oct 11, 2012 The new year is starting off on the right foot – and if you didn’t notice, that’s a double entendre. Over the past month and a half, over 150,000 Jews visited Hebron. About half of them arrived during the Succot holidays. That’s a good way […]

DignityTuesday Sep 25, 2012 Yesterday I met with an Australian journalist. He had spent the previous day with Shovrim Shtika – Breaking the Silence, in Hebron. They are far left- and very anti Jewish Hebron. A countryman of the journalist, let’s call him Harry, wanted him to see ‘the other’ so they came over to see me.

Stop spitting in G-d’s face!Sunday Sep 02, 2012 I thought about driving up to Migron, last night, this morning. Many years ago, after moving to Kiryat Arba, while studying in a Torah “Kollel” – study program for married men, I participated in founding the local ‘Chevra Kadisha,’ that being a volunteer organization that prepared deceased people for burial.  While looking […]

1929 Redux?Monday Aug 06, 2012 Last week a young woman from Toronto visited me at my office here in Hebron. She told that her name was Slonim, that her family was from Hebron, that her family was miraculously saved during the 1929 massacre.   I told her, yes, members of the Slonim family were holed up in Rabbi Ya’akov Slonim’s home. The […]

The spring of creationFriday Jul 20, 2012 Wednesday’s terror attack on Ron, from Kiryat Arba, was an example of a true miracle. The boulder hurled at his head, as he prepared to bathe in the Abraham Spring, here in Hebron, was intended to crush his skull. It did leave him with a serious injury, but he is still alive. Only […]

The Authentic G-d ParticleWednesday Jul 04, 2012 This morning we were greeted with headlines explaining discovery of what is called the ‘God particle.’ Decades of research and millions of dollars were invested in this project, which according to an article in Fox explains that this particle ‘gives things mass.’  As elucidated, “”all elementary particles get their masses from their interactions with the [Higgs] field, […]

Despite it all, a dream come true!Friday Jun 29, 2012 The Federman family might be described as ‘controversial.’   Noam and Elisheva have a long history of right-wing activism, working day and night for a continued, strong Jewish presence throughout Eretz Yisrael.  As a result of their continued successful action, they have found themselves the target of numerous indictments and trials. […]

Zionism or Toynbeeism?Friday Jun 08, 2012 The news and photos coming out of Syria are horrid. I’m not a great fan of the Syrians. They’ve been at war with Israel since creation of the State. But the steam of atrocities flowing from there has nothing to do with friends and enemies. Any normal person with any thoughts of civil humanitary […]
