Taking on Water
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?

It's Not a Coincidence
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.

Rhode Island, Tear Down That Flag
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.

ברית המילה עומדת שוב תחת מתקפה
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

Circumcising Our Judgement
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.

The Case For Circumcision
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.

Are You on Are Our Side?
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.

A Hero's Reward
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.

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

כשהמטרה מוצאת אותך
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

They all want to kill us – are you sure you want to convert?
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
