From the Binding of Isaac to October 7

Please see my new article in The Times of Israel called "From The Binding of Isaac to October 7."

The story of Abraham and Isaac reveals how fragile life can be, yet also how faith transforms fear into purpose. For centuries, from Egypt to the Holocaust to October 7, the Jewish people have faced the knife at their throat, believing that G-d would not abandon them. Time and again, His hand has guided us from despair to renewal, from persecution to promise. When we live with righteousness and steadfast faith, the knife meant to destroy us turns instead upon the ram caught in the thicket of evil.

The Imminent Danger of Zohran Mamdani

 
Please see my new article in The Times of Israel called "The Imminent Danger of Zohran Mamdani."

The rise of radical socialism in New York threatens not only democracy but the safety of its Jewish community. As antisemitic incidents surge, Zohran Mamdani manipulates and gaslights the public, hiding behind claims of social justice and anti‑genocide rhetoric while refusing to condemn Hamas or calls for global intifada. His deception weaponizes resentment and division, turning ideology into an instrument of hate and racism. This escalating threat puts Jews and the city’s moral foundation at grave risk. If New Yorkers do not awaken quickly, history may again repeat its darkest chapters.

When a Jew is Torn Between Freedom and Family

 
Please see my new article in The Times of Israel called "When a Jew is Torn Between Freedom and Family."

Shulem Deen’s All Who Go Do Not Return is a powerful memoir chronicling his escape from the insular Skverer Hasidic community. Deen’s world was shaped by strict prohibition of secular influences, arranged marriage, and demand for total conformity, enforced by harsh punishments and social control. After being cast out for his growing doubts, Deen lost his family, faith, and community, and struggled through loneliness and depression. His story is both a lament for what was lost and a testament to the steep, lasting price of freedom, raising profound questions about the cost of authenticity and the challenge of losing everything.
