Israel's Imperative: A Swift and Successful Finish

Please see my new article in The Times of Israel called "Israel's Imperative: A Swift and Successful Finish."

Confronting Hamas’s dual threats requires unwavering transparency and resolve. Israel must accomplish the near-impossible task of winning its military objectives and freeing all hostages, while minimizing the duration of the conflict to deprive Hamas of its propaganda weaponry. Only by acting swiftly and decisively can Israel break the destructive cycle of violence, victimhood narratives, and delegitimization, safeguarding its future and securing lasting peace and dignity for its people.

Echoes Across Realities: The Soul’s Journey

Please see my new article in The Times of Israel called "Echoes Across Realities: The Soul's Journey."

The concept of multiple realities, embraced by both scientific theory and imaginative storytelling, proposes that countless alternate histories unfold from pivotal moments, each yielding distinct outcomes. Personal experiences, such as vivid and inexplicable dreams, invite us to consider the existence of parallel worlds and deeper spiritual dimensions where our souls may journey. These experiences underscore how our free will—our choices to act for good or evil—intertwines with billions of others in a complex tapestry of cause and effect that only G‑d can fully comprehend and graciously guide. Ultimately, our actions carry profound significance, influencing not only this reality but countless others, revealing that the truths shaping our lives and the universe are far more expansive than we may realize.

Voting Against Ourselves

Please see my new article in The Times of Israel called "Voting Against Ourselves."

Despite rising antisemitism and mounting threats to Israel, a surprising number of American Jews continue to support political figures who criticize or undermine the Jewish state—often through double standards—and tolerate or excuse antisemitic rhetoric. This article explores both the political and psychological reasons behind this paradox, from progressive values and generational divides to identity struggles, assimilation, and intergenerational trauma. As attacks on Jews escalate across the U.S., the piece urges Jewish voters to reflect deeply on the implications of their choices—for their safety, their identity, and the future of Jewish life in America and Israel.
