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.

Some mitzvot stay with you forever. Performing the Bris for the grandson of a beloved mentor was one of those unforgettable moments — equal parts joy, memory, and legacy.

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?

It was a sound I’ll never forget. No siren. No warning. Just an explosion. But what actually happened — and what’s not being talked about — might be the most remarkable part of all. What miracles are being overlooked?

From Bitcoin conspiracies to punk rockers chanting “Death to the IDF,” the rhetoric is only getting worse. So why keep debating? Because the undecided are still listening.

Twelve days of war with Iran. 29 civilians dead. 3,000 injured. One family in Be’er Sheva lost three loved ones in a single strike. And yet, the world barely blinked. What does it mean to live between sirens — the exhaustion, the heartbreak, and the hope that maybe, just maybe, this war has moved us closer to peace?

How could this happen?! Young athletes trained for months. They showed up ready to compete. But when Israelis arrived — the event was shut down. This isn’t just about surfing anymore. It’s about something much deeper.

חתונות. בריתות. אזעקות ברחבי ישראל, רגעים מקודשים מתרחשים גם כשהטילים שורקים מעל. כי גם במלחמה — היום השמיני לא מחכה

Weddings. Circumcisions. Sirens. Across Israel, sacred moments unfold amid the sound of rockets overhead. Because even in war, the eighth day doesn’t wait.

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?
