I expected to walk into a house of silence. Instead I found one filled with song. As a mohel, my days are spent welcoming new life. But last week I sat with a family mourning the loss of the same boy whose bris I had performed six months earlier — and they taught me something I won't forget.

We must not return to being the defenseless, pre-Holocaust Jew. With the US changing its tune on Iran and restricting Israel's ability to defend against Hezbollah, the alliance we’ve relied on for decades is cracking. We can no longer afford to seek out false saviors. So, where does Israel turn when Washington starts pulling back?

The luxury of naive Western moralizing is dead. Living under attacks from all directions forces a clarity that many people abroad never have to confront. It’s time to delete the soundtrack of illusions.

I practice male genital mutilation. At least, that’s what the anti-circumcision movement would have you believe. This piece exposes exactly how secular columnists are weaponizing extreme clinical imagery to target our ancient traditions. We cannot afford to let them dictate the narrative.

The bans are coming… Three European countries are making moves to outlaw Brit Milah. Jonathan Lieberman argues that altering Metzitzah is the solution. Appeasement is never the answer.

“Look Aba,” my eldest said as she showed me her phone. A video played of a Eurovision audience member holding his phone above his head displaying a Palestinian flag. I felt slightly dejected. “But look,” she continued. “He’s dancing.” I couldn’t believe my eyes. In the midst of his protest, this person couldn’t help but shake his head to the beat of Noam’s song. I hoped it was a sign of what was to come.

Belgium just indicted three mohalim for performing a Bris. Austria and Switzerland are following suit. None of this is theoretical anymore.

When they came for the mohalim, I criticised the American ambassador’s claim — everything can’t be antisemitism. But now they’re censuring the only Jewish MP in Belgium’s Parliament. How is this not a double standard?

This is a critique of the mohel's story who involved in the baby's death after circumcision and warns against a dangerous pattern of negligence. Responsibility does not end with the ceremony - and requires close monitoring and full protection of the newborn.

זה ביקורת של גרסת המוהל המעורב בפרשת מות התינוק לאחר ברית המילה ומזהיר מפני דפוס רשלנות מסוכן. האחריות אינה מסתיימת בטקס - ומחייבת מעקב צמוד והגנה מלאה על היילוד

For those of us spending more time in bomb shelters than in the water… This one’s for us. The full feature on Anat Lelior’s historic qualification and the resilience of the Israeli surf inside.

90 seconds to find shelter. 10 minutes of interceptions. 20 minutes until sunset. For the first time in years, my hand shook as I took the knife. Performing a Brit Milah during a ballistic missile alert isn’t just ritual — it’s a stubborn refusal to let the sirens dictate our lives. We finished the Simcha as shrapnel fell.

How does a godfather become a "partner in crime"? Circumcision is the most sacred moment, but it must also be the safest. In this piece, I tell the story of the harrowing encounter at the Britot of twins, and of my struggle as a Mohel to ensure that no baby is harmed in the process.

איך הופכים מסנדק לשותף לפשע ברית מילה היא הרגע הכי קדוש, אבל היא חייבת להיות גם הכי בטוחה. בטור חדש בערוץ 7, אני מספר על המפגש המטלטל בברית התאומים, ועל המאבק שלי כמוהל לוודא שאף תינוק לא ייפגע בשם "מנהג" שאפשר לבצע אחרת

“I'm not doing this!” That’s how the morning began — with sirens, uncertainty, and a mother determined not to hold her baby’s Bris under rocket fire. What followed was a walk through empty streets, split-second decisions, and a reminder of what it means to celebrate Jewish life in the shadow of war.

84 years old. Abducted. No medications. No answers. For more than two weeks, Nancy Guthrie—the mother of Savannah Guthrie—has been missing. Her family is pleading. The clock is ticking. And the world is watching. From Israel, this story feels hauntingly familiar. I wrote about why this case strikes a nerve—and what it reveals about our shared commitment to human life.

Is crying “antisemitism” putting Brit Milah at risk? After raids on mohalim in Antwerp and a forceful response from Bill White, the Jewish world reacted instantly. But what if our reflex is weakening our defense? When every regulation is labeled antisemitic, governments stop listening—and real antisemitism becomes easier to dismiss. From Belgium to London, this essay asks a hard question few want to face: Are we protecting Brit Milah strategically—or emotionally?

“No one likes a Jew who stands up for himself.” Even some rabbis are micro-analyzing Israel’s every move. But what if Jewish strength—not apology—is actually the antidote to antisemitism.

האם יהודים בטוחים בספרד? ביצעתי שני גיורים במדריד בשבוע שעבר. לפני שיצאתי, קיבלתי עצה: “יש לך כובע? זה הכרחי כאן.” זה היה יום הזיכרון הבינלאומי לשואה. ספרד וישראל לא מדברות. הצל של האינקוויזיציה הרגיש ארוך באופן לא נוח. האם השלג היה זיק של תקווה — או איזשהו דז’ה וו אנטישמי?​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​

Are Jews safe in Spain? I performed two conversions in Madrid last week. Before I left, I was given advice: “Do you have a hat? It’s necessary here.” It was International Holocaust Remembrance Day. Spain and Israel aren’t speaking. The shadow of the Inquisition felt uncomfortably long. Was the snow a glimmer of hope — or some sort of antisemitic Déjà vu?
