Hard-Code G-d Into AI

Please see my new article in The Times of Israel called "Hard-Code G-d Into AI."

Artificial intelligence is often framed as a problem of obedience: can we keep machines under human control? But human commands are not always moral, and an AI perfectly aligned with a terrorist, authoritarian state, corrupt corporation or reckless commander would not be safe—it would simply be efficient at doing wrong. This article argues that AI must be built not only with technical guardrails, but around a moral reality higher than machine, market and human command: the sanctity of life, the dignity of every person created b’tzelem Elokim, truth and the duty to protect the vulnerable. That standard does not demand weakness or unilateral disarmament; it calls for AI strong enough to help free societies defeat terrorists, protect civilians and defend themselves, while never confusing power, permission or technological capability with moral authority.

Israel Must Act. G-d Determines the Outcome.

Please see my new article in The Times of Israel called "Israel Must Act. G-d Determines the Outcome."

Israel’s recent military achievements show the extraordinary courage, skill, and resolve required to defend a people surrounded by enemies committed to its destruction—but they cannot guarantee that danger will disappear. The horror of October 7 showed, at terrible cost, that even a strong and technologically advanced country must never allow confidence or complacency to replace vigilance. Through Moses standing at the Jordan, the article reminds readers that we may not control the future or see the final results of our efforts, but we are never excused from doing what is right and necessary today. This Rosh Hashanah, it calls on Jews everywhere to stand with Israel, protect Jewish life, care for those carrying the wounds of terror and war, confront antisemitism without fear, strengthen Jewish unity, and join prayer to courageous action.

Israel Needs a Drone Army—Before the Next War

Please see my new article in The Times of Israel called "Israel Needs a Drone Army—Before the Next War."

Israel helped pioneer military drones, but a recent exercise in Germany—where Ukrainian drone teams rapidly exposed US troops and armored vehicles—shows that even advanced militaries must adapt faster and field drone capabilities at scale. Ukraine has demonstrated how drones can help a smaller force find attackers, slow advances, protect troops, and learn more quickly than a larger adversary. Israel needs both a drone sword to identify and disrupt confirmed threats before they strike, and a layered, affordable shield to protect soldiers, communities, and critical infrastructure when prevention fails. That requires a permanent joint drone, counter-drone, and electronic-warfare effort; AI-enabled command systems; domestic production; trained operators; and the ability to field, sustain, and replace drones at scale across the IDF—before the next warning becomes another tragedy.

Eyes That Do Not See: The Moral Vanity of Anti-Zionism

Please see my new article in The Times of Israel called "Eyes That Do Not See: The Moral Vanity of Anti-Zionism."

A blind woman regains her sight only to reject the man who loved her, and the story becomes a metaphor for the deepest moral failure: refusing to see the truth once it is in front of you. The piece argues that much of the world treats Israel the same way, condemning the Jewish state through distorted morality while ignoring its history, its self-defense, and the reality of the war it faces. It says critics apply double standards, overlook October 7, and dismiss Israel’s contributions and repeated efforts toward peace. The central message is that the world’s problem is not lack of information, but a refusal to recognize truth, history, and Jewish sovereignty honestly.

Israel Must Win the Information War

Please see my new article in The Times of Israel called "Israel Must Win the Information War."

For over three thousand years, the Jewish people have maintained an unbroken connection to the Land of Israel, making the modern Jewish state a restoration of an indigenous people to its ancestral homeland rather than a colonial anomaly. Today, however, this historical and legal reality is obscured by a powerful campaign of narrative inversion that frames Israel’s defensive actions as oppressive aggression while portraying terrorist groups as “resistance” movements. Lasting peace requires not only security and political compromise, but also a clear global recognition that Israel’s existence is legitimate and permanent, and that ideologies calling for its destruction must be rejected in favor of coexistence. To meet this challenge, Israel must transform its hasbara into a proactive, sophisticated, and morally grounded effort that tells its story clearly, confidently, and compellingly in the digital age.

The Illusion of Safety Is Fading Fast

 

Please see my new article in The Times of Israel called "The Illusion of Safety Is Fading Fast."

Jews in America have long lived with the mistaken belief that comfort equals security, but rising antisemitism is exposing how fragile that assumption really is. The threat now cuts across every kind of Jewish identity, because hatred targets Jews as Jews, regardless of observance, politics, or views on Israel. Jewish history warns that danger grows when people delay taking warning signs seriously, which is why Israel stands as the one sovereign homeland where Jews can protect their future. Aliyah should therefore be seen not as panic, but as a responsible and courageous act to secure Jewish continuity for the next generation.

Politics Must Never Trump Morality

Please see my new article in The Times of Israel called "Politics Must Never Trump Morality."

The United States is currently experiencing a dangerous lapse in strategic judgment by allowing partisan politics to undermine its essential alliance with Israel against the Iranian regime. While Iran continues to fuel global instability through terrorist proxies and nuclear ambitions, American leaders must reject baseless conspiracy theories and the rising tide of antisemitism that seeks to recast democratic defense as aggression. True national security requires the maturity to prioritize the victory of our warfighters and the integrity of our borders over domestic grievances or ideological activism. Ultimately, America must reclaim its moral clarity by standing unapologetically with its allies and maintaining a firm distinction between democratic partners and terrorist adversaries.

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.

Goodbye Khamenei (It’s Hard to Die)

 
Please see my new article in The Times of Israel called "Goodbye Khamenei (It's Hard to Die)."

This rhythmic condemnation chronicles Ayatollah Khamenei's reign of terror—from 1979's revolution to repression of the Iranian people, proxies like Hamas, Hezbollah, and the Houthis fueling global jihad, October 7's massacre, and atrocities like Buenos Aires. It weaves nuclear ambitions and Sharia dreams against U.S.-Israeli strikes crushing Iran's arsenal and sparking uprisings.The repeating chorus contrasts decades of chaos with triumphant justice in the war of good over evil. Celebrating Trump, Netanyahu, and redemption's dawn—perfect for sharing defiance against tyranny.

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.

Israel's Doctrine of Deterrence and Survival

 
Please see my new article in The Times of Israel called "Israel's Doctrine of Deterrence and Survival."

Israel, guided by G-d’s divine providence, decisively crushed the Iran-backed Houthis in a precision strike in Sanaa, eliminating their leadership for attacking Israel and strangling Red Sea trade routes. In 2024 and 2025, Israel’s strategic doctrine of deterrence and escalation delivered justice, eliminating Hamas leaders Ismail Haniyeh and Muhammad Sinwar, Hezbollah’s Hassan Nasrallah, and 41 key Iranian military and nuclear figures, while dismantling Syria’s military capabilities. Despite being surrounded by adversaries denying its existence, Israel’s unmatched ingenuity and faith ensure its survival, offering enemies a stark choice: be deterred or be removed.
