On The Wings of Eagles
Please see my new article in The Times of Israel called "On The Wings of Eagles."The importance of making Aliyah may seem counterintuitive given how anti-Zionist not only many Pro-Hamas supporters are, but also some diaspora and even Israeli Jews are. However, it is actually all the more reason for people who understand Israel's holiness and centrality to Jewish life, prayer, and tradition to make the leap. I think in the future, we will look back at this time and the immense pressure to abandon Israel, and we will recognize the strong souls who defied the mob.

The Coming Great American Aliyah
Please see my new article in The Times of Israel called, "The Coming Great American Aliyah."
May G-d bring us in peace, prosperity, and health to fulfill His promise of the ingathering and to rebuild the Temple and bring Mashiach to the world.
If you just open your eyes and have faith, you will know that you will be going to Israel–the question isn’t if, but when! What G-d has decreed, no man can annul. There are three types of ways things will unfold for American Jews: Some will go to Israel on their own,”nicely.” Others will be going only when they absolutely have to–“not so nicely.” The third group will not be going–unfortunately, as difficult as it is to say, they won’t make it. While this is all about the fulfillment of messianic times, and we don’t know when precisely it will all transpire, I pray that people (including myself) will choose to plan intelligently for the future to make aliyah in good times, and that their shouldn’t be pain and suffering for the Jewish people in getting there, but rather that it is an amazing experience filled with endless blessings.
May G-d bring us in peace, prosperity, and health to fulfill His promise of the ingathering and to rebuild the Temple and bring Mashiach to the world.

Aliyah: To Go Up
"As Jewish people yet around the globe plan for their futures, they need to consider carefully “the place that G-d has chosen” and where they and their families will be at the fateful conclusion of the Redemption and the arrival of Mashiach. Perhaps, while the road to Jerusalem requires our dedication and hard work, the choice is not that difficult as the Land of Israel flourishes and the people of Israel yet lives–Eretz and Am Israel Chai!"
Hope you enjoy. ;-)

Happy 70th Birthday to Israel
What a beautiful Shabbat today at Magen David Synagogue celebrating the 70th Birthday of the State of Israel.
Prayers, blessings, song, waving flags, and a lovely Kiddish feast following services.
Immediately after the genocidal Holocaust that exterminated six million Jews - 1 out of every 3 in the entire world - the modern State of Israel was founded in 1948.
With thriving cities, arts and culture, flourishing farming, science and innovation, Holy religious sites, a rich history everywhere, and a formidable military.
There is so much to be proud of and to thank G-d for.
Oh G-d, we praise you in that you have returned your children to Zion as you promised from Biblical times and breathed fresh life into their dry bones.
Only you can revive an entire people and a land.
Only you can create a blooming Garden of Eden from barren desert.
Only you can make a strong and just a nation from one that once was carted away of crowded train cars to the death camps and crematoria
Throughout 2,000 years of exile, we remembered your promise and we prayed for redemption, and you showered your gracious mercy on us and brought us back on wings of eagles.
For 70 years now, nations have risen up against Israel to try to destroy it, but only you have saved it through the brave arms of the Israeli Defense Forces (IDF).
Praise to G-d Almighty. Praise be to G-d in Heaven and on Earth. Praise be the creator and sustainer.
We honor you through keeping your Holy Torah commandments and remembering that you Hashem, are our G-d and you are One.
It is our job to live a life of integrity, to do good whatever we do and wherever we go, as your children and as a light along with America unto the other nations.
As we sang in the Holocaust, "I believe with a full faith in the coming of the Messiah, and thou he tarries, I will never-the-less wait."
The waiting was over 70-years ago, and we are living in the age of redemption.
Miracles abound and the world progresses scientifically and technologically and with a spirit of doing good and justice.
The nation of Israel lives!

Tunnel From Egyptian Bondage
On Passover, we celebrate G-d's redemption of the Israelites and the great miracles he wrought in bringing them from slavery to freedom, giving them the sacred Torah, and taking them to the Holy Land of Israel.
His mercy and kindness endures forever!
While many people think that the Israelites crossed the Red Sea and the desert...
Little do most people know that there is also this miracle tunnel that many Israelites took when G-d took them out of Egyptian bondage and exile.
It connected them from Egypt and straight to the IRT subway train, which took them to the shuttle that then got them to John F. Kennedy International Airport and on to El Al planes to the State of Israel.
In G-d's world, there is no limitations of time and space...and He literally brought them on wings on eagles to live in Israel and worship at his holy Temple in Jerusalem.
For 3,500 years, the Israelite Jewish people have inhabited the land of Israel--from their days and until ours, may Judah be saved and may Israel dwell securely, and let us bless and thank G-d, and say Amen! ;-)
