Pray Like Moses, Fight Like King David
Please see my new article in The Times of Israel called "Pray Like Moses, Fight Like King David."The Bar Mitzvah boy’s defiant spark—proclaiming his identity to a world that would dilute it—ignites a timeless truth: Jewish survival is a masterpiece painted in both prayer and steel. Moses stands as our supreme intercessor, the man who stormed the heavens to split the sea, struck the rock to quench a nation’s thirst, and raised his arms to crush Amalek, proving that a plea to the Almighty is an act of supreme strategic power. Yet, we must also channel the thunder of King David, the warrior-poet who felled Goliath with a single stone, carved Jerusalem from the wilderness, and shattered the armies of Moab and Edom to ensure our physical sanctuary. Today, as Iran’s proxies rain fire upon Israel and antisemitism poisons the Diaspora, we cannot choose between the pulpit and the perimeter; we must pray with the soul of Moses and fight with the iron resolve of David. United in this sacred duality of faith and force, we do not merely endure—we become an unbreakable wall against the shadows.

Each of Us Can Defend Israel
Please see my new article in The Times of Israel called "Each of Us Can Defend Israel."As an American Jew, I see in Israelis a courage and vitality born from living under constant threat yet choosing life with fierce resolve. Their resilience—rooted in faith, sacrifice, and purpose—reminds us that Jewish strength has always been both spiritual and physical. While those of us in the Diaspora fight through advocacy, education, and solidarity, only in Israel do Jews truly command their own fate, defending their land and people with their own hands. Across oceans and generations, we are bound by one calling: to stand together in the timeless struggle for freedom, faith, and the survival of our people.

The 250th Hostage: A Divine Homecoming
Please see my new article in The Times of Israel called "The 250th Hostage: A Divine Homecoming."

After 843 days in captivity, the recovery from Gaza of the last hostage, Ran Gvili—a hero who fought through pain to save a hundred souls—is a breathtaking modern miracle that echoes the sacred moment Moses carried Joseph’s bones toward the Promised Land. This homecoming reveals the profound power of Ezem, the Hebrew "essence" within the bone, proving that for the Jewish people, the remains of the righteous are not mere dust but a foundational spark awaiting the glory of resurrection. Through the divine "fingerprint" of Gematria and Ran’s miraculous return, we see the Almighty’s hand actively weaving the fabric of our redemption. It is a stirring herald of the coming dawn, where the dry bones of our history are reclothed in sovereignty and the light of the Third Temple finally pierces the darkness.

Bibi Was Right All Along
Please see my new article in The Times of Israel called "Bibi Was Right All Along."Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu was right all along in his steadfast leadership during the complex and perilous Gaza conflict, maintaining clear strategic objectives despite criticism. His vision to bring hostages home, demilitarize Gaza, and eradicate Hamas ensured that terror would not dictate the region's future. After over two years of war and sacrifice, including the loss of nearly 1,200 IDF soldiers, a ceasefire has been achieved and the release of hostages is set to begin imminently. The successful peace plan, strongly supported by President Donald Trump’s diplomacy, marks a profound moment of joy and unity for Israel and the Jewish people worldwide, confirming the wisdom of Netanyahu’s approach.

When Beautiful Music Becomes a Mantra of Hate
Please see my new article in The Times of Israel called "When Beautiful Music Becomes a Mantra of Hate."Music festivals and concerts, long celebrated for fostering unity, are increasingly being used to spread hate and divisive rhetoric. High-profile incidents—such as Bobby Vylan’s anti-Israel chants at Glastonbury, Roger Waters’s provocative performances, and inflammatory statements by artists like Kanye West and Imagine Dragons—illustrate how musicians, seeking to be seen as edgy or socially conscious, often promote distorted messages that can influence youth and normalize hate. The failure of media and institutions to intervene exacerbates these dangers, raising concerns about the responsibility to protect shared values of justice and respect. Ultimately, music must remain a force for peace and unity, not a vehicle for hatred or bigotry.

Defeating “The Giants” of Iran With Tikkun
Please see my new article in The Times of Israel called "Defeating 'The Giants' of Iran With Tikkun."As we witness miracle after miracle in Israel’s current struggle against Iran, it is natural to praise the meticulous planning, skillful execution, and exceptional intelligence that have led to these achievements. We owe immense gratitude to the brave men and women of the IDF who put their lives on the line. However, let us never forget that, much like the giants the spies once feared, Iran presents a formidable challenge in the region. Only through faith in the Master of the Universe can we truly understand that our victories are part of a greater, divine plan—a merciful redemption promised to Abraham, Isaac, and Jacob.

IDF Fights Iran: A Fusion of Force and Faith
Please see my new article in The Times of Israel called "IDF Fights Iran: A Fusion of Force and Faith."As Israel and Iran engage in a historic confrontation, we must be aware of the remarkable fusion of faith and military prowess that defines Israel’s response. Central to the nation’s achievements is the recognition of Divine providence—Hashem’s guiding hand—alongside the extraordinary courage and skill of the Israel Defense Forces (IDF). In just two days, the IDF has confronted existential threats, neutralizing key Iranian leadership and infrastructure while demonstrating operational excellence and moral leadership.

To Understand Israel, Look to Taiwan
Please see my new article in The Times of Israel called "To Understand Israel, Look to Taiwan."
Despite being separated by more than 8,300 kilometers, Israel and Taiwan share striking parallels in geography, population, political values, economic dynamism, and military strategy. Both face existential threats from far larger adversaries and rely on innovative military deterrence doctrines—Israel’s Cactus and Taiwan’s Porcupine—bolstered by strong U.S. support. Their resilience and commitment to democracy and independence not only shape their futures but also serve as fortresses of stability and hope in regions marked by uncertainty and contestation.(AI generated image via Meta)

Israel & Gaza: Separating Fact from Fiction
Please see my new article in The Times of Israel called "Israel & Gaza: Separating Fact from Fiction."
Eighteen months into a conflict marked by unfathomable loss, one of the most disturbing things we see is the reinvention of what actually happened. The terrorists and their supporters spew an endless stream of hate and lies. It is crucial to continue to dispel their myths and hold on to the truth.
Hamas’s ideology of hate and annihilation meets Israel’s resolve to survive and achieve a lasting peace. Amid the ashes of Gaza, faith remains our compass and the Jewish state, our beacon.
