Israeli surfer Anat Lelior just made history — but her flag was missing. In Morocco, she had to compete without it — not out of protest, but for protection. When even surfing isn’t safe from politics, it’s time to ask: What are we willing to hide just to stay safe?

Some stories are too interconnected to be random. A mohel’s final moments. A mother’s emotional blessing. A name whispered in tragedy—and echoed in justice. These aren’t just events. They’re reminders. That even when we don’t see Him, Hashem is still guiding the world. Sometimes, you just have to look a little closer.

I never thought I’d feel this conflicted about the place I once called home. Something recently happened in Rhode Island that left me stunned — and heartbroken. As a proud alum living in Israel, I had to speak out.

פשיטות משטרה. סכינים הוחרמו. טקס שנתפס בין הפטיש לסדן — אבל לא מהסיבות שחשבתם. מה שקורה בבלגיה צריך לשמש קריאת השכמה לכל מי שאכפת לו מהמסורת היהודית. למה האיום האמיתי על ברית המילה עלול להגיע דווקא מבפנים

Police raids. Confiscated knives. A ritual caught in the crossfire — but not for the reasons you’d expect. What’s happening in Belgium should be a wake-up call for anyone who cares about Jewish tradition.

I’m a mohel. I don’t just perform a ritual — I help preserve a people. Esquire claims circumcision is a form of harm. But it’s something deeper: a sacred act, a covenant, a legacy. One family at a time, I help that story continue.

My kids keep asking if the celebrities they love hate them for being Jewish and lately, I haven’t known what to say. But if they’re trying to scare us into silence, they’ve chosen the wrong people.

Fires canceled events, and cast a shadow over Yom Haatzmaut—until an unexpected shift changed everything.

Wounded in Gaza, Bedouin IDF tracker Hadi Falach had one request — to buy Hametz (leavened bread for Passover). With the help of a friend and Rav Yosef Rimon, that wish came true, sparking a wave of national support.

מכירת חמץ בדרך כלל עוברת בלחיצת כפתור – אבל השנה זה שונה בגלל מי שקונה אותו

Selling Hametz usually passes with no more than a click of a button. But this year is different because of who’s buying it.

The Gaza protests are the first glimmer of hope for ending this war. So, why is the media downplaying the story?

The circle of those who are blind to their own self-destruction seems to widen on a daily basis.

כאשר קיבלתי את שיחת הטלפון באמצע השבוע על ברית מילה שהתבקשתי לערוך בשבת, לא הרגשתי את ההתרגשות הרגילה שלי. גם הפעם משפחתי לא תוכל להצטרף אלי

When I received the midweek call for a Shabbat Bris, I didn’t feel my normal rush of excitement.

Hate-filled actors in Gaza and Australia show their true colors, and it’s causing a shift in public opinion.

As I looked around the plane and noticed I was one of the only white people on board, the reality of traveling to Kenya started to set in.

Terrorists released those who were in better physical condition first so that the world could once again turn its back on the Jewish state.

ישבנו מול אדם מדהים שכל רצונו להצטרף לעם שלנו, בעוד אחרים מהאזור שבו גדל רוצים רק להרוג אותנו — וגם אותו בקרוב

We sat across from an amazing person whose only desire is to join our people, while others from the area he grew up want only to kill us
