Social pressure? Or buyer’s remorse? John Cleese didn’t cancel his Israel shows for “safety.” After months of sharing fake news about Israel — and then deleting it — there’s more to the story.

Haaretz makes wild claims about our practice. History — and lived Jewish experience — say otherwise. Here’s why…

״קטיעות חלקיות״ ״עשרות סיבוכים״ נשמע מפחיד — עד שמבינים שמדובר בפאניקה מלאכותית. הסכנה האמיתית? לאפשר לבירוקרטים ולכותרות להגדיר מחדש את המצווה הקדושה ביותר שלנו

“Partial amputations.” “Dozens of complications.” Sounds terrifying — until you realize it’s manufactured panic. The real danger? Letting bureaucrats and headlines redefine our holiest mitzvah.

They call us the aggressors. The truth? We risked everything to save life — not just our own, but even theirs. And when we needed help, the world turned away.

The world says we’re wrong but we keep dancing anyway. A reflection on healing, faith, and the fight to reclaim our joy.

They call it “child abuse.” We call it tradition. From viral hate campaigns to government bans, the fight over Brit Milah has never been fiercer. Find out what’s really happening behind the headlines.

When satire abandons truth, it stops being comedy — and starts becoming complicity and it can have deadly consequences.

A botched bris is tragic. Turning it into a media crusade against Judaism is dangerous. The New Yorker & Shteyngart are at it again — here’s why it matters.

Murder on a train in Charlotte, riders froze as tragedy unfolded. Israel suffered similar cases yet with differing outcomes. When good people act — lives are saved. When they don’t — evil wins. It’s time to honor courage and stop excusing indifference.

Mary Ann Sorrentino’s instruction at URI helped shape a future rabbi. Years later her own spiritual journey took a turn.

Israel is accused of using famine as a weapon of war. But the facts on the ground tell a different story. So, the question is: who’s starving Gaza?

Until recently, my alma mater was a source of pride. I did go to the same high school as Reggie Jackson and Benjamin Netanyahu. But when part of the student body voted to remove Bibi from the Hall of Fame, everything changed. Read why now, more than ever, he deserves to be there.

It began as a regular Brit Milah. But when the bandage fell off and the local Mohel refused to help because it "wasn't his Bris" - it became clear that the calling of Mohel requires character traits more than just professional skills.

הכול התחיל כברית רגילה. אבל כשהתחבושת נפלה והמוהל המקומי סירב לעזור כי "הברית לא שלו" - הבנתי עד כמה שליחות המילה מחייבת מידות, לא רק מקצוע. כך למדתי מה באמת נדרש ממוהל

זה היה צליל שלא אשכח לעולם. בלי אזעקה. בלי התרעה. רק פיצוץ. אבל מה שבאמת קרה — ומה שלא מדברים עליו — אולי החלק הכי מדהים בכל הסיפור. איזה ניסים אנחנו מפספסים?

Five young soldiers. One roadside bomb. A chief rabbi’s response that stunned the nation. Some words lift us. Others land like a blow. What happens when faith tries to explain the unexplainable — and gets it wrong?
