Hanukkah Is About Fortifying the Family
Please see my new article in The Times of Israel called "Hanukkah is about Fortifying the Family."
Modern Hellenism is when Judaism becomes less and less Jewish and more and more like another “value system” that is “politically correct” or “in style.”
To be clear, not every Jew is going to be “religious” in the same way, but still, each of us can contribute to the welfare of the whole. The point of Hanukkah is that Torah-true Judaism exists, even if we as individuals struggle to fulfill it. The task at hand is for each family and each of us to model proper behavior (thought, word, and deed) and to educate our children in the same so that the Greeks of our time do not win.

With The Courage Of The Maccabees
This is a phenomenal speech by Israel's Prime Minister Netanyahu to the United Nations on October 1 2013.
Some highlights from the speech:
- Iran is building underground uranium and plutonium enrichment facilities, using advanced centrifuges, conducting enrichments to near dangerous levels, and developing the ICBMs to deliver the nuclear weapons.
- Iran threatens to wipe Israel off the map and chants death to Israel and America.
- Iran is smiling and negotiating, while positioning themselves for a dash over the nuclear finish line.
- Iran is seeking to provide meaningless concessions and empty promises in return for sanctions relief.
- Nuclear weapons in the hands of the rogue regime of Iran makes nuclear terrorism a clear and present danger.
- Israel will never acquiesce to nuclear weapons in the hands of a rogue regime that threatens to wipe them off the map.
- If Israel is forced to act alone, it will and in so doing be safeguarding many other nations as well.
- A bludgeoned Jewish people left for dead [after the Holocaust] will defend themselves with the courage of the Maccabees and not compromise on security.
If you get a chance, it is worth watching the whole thing.
