Liberation’s Call: From Venezuela to Iran

 
Please see my new article in The Times of Israel called "Liberation's Call: From Venezuela to Iran."

The Jewish and Zionist narrative is a foundational saga of liberation, transforming the ancient Exodus into a modern divine mandate to confront tyranny and uphold human dignity. Through the lens of tikkun olam, the recent collapses of the Maduro and Assad regimes are seen as more than geopolitical shifts; they are moral victories that prove principled leadership can dismantle industrialized cruelty. Today, this imperative focuses on Iran, where the regime’s systematic repression and export of terror represent a modern "Pharaoh" that must be countered to protect both regional stability and universal human rights. Ultimately, the Zionist model of reclaiming indigenous sovereignty serves as a global blueprint, asserting that the transition from bondage to self-determination is a sacred birthright for all oppressed peace-loving peoples.

Journeys of Faith in an Uber Ride

Please see my new article in The Times of Israel called "Journeys of Faith in an Uber Ride."

After attending a Hanukkah celebration, the author meets an Uber driver who, though long disconnected from Jewish life, still feels a deep love for her heritage. Her story reflects the quiet struggle of assimilation and the enduring spark of Jewish identity in the diaspora. Soon after, an antisemitic act in Kew Gardens—where a menorah was torn from a car and desecrated—underscores the persistence of hatred against Jews. Together, these moments reveal both the inner and outer challenges facing the Jewish people and affirm the need to keep the light of faith and knowledge burning brightly.

The Last Candles of Bondi

Please see my new article in The Times of Israel called "The Last Candles of Bondi."

This poem is a indictment of rising antisemitism and moral decay in Australia and the West. It opens with the massacre of Jewish worshippers on Bondi Beach and portrays the event as both tragedy and omen. The piece condemns political hypocrisy, cultural cowardice, and the normalization of anti‑Jewish hatred under the guise of social justice. Ultimately, it warns that society’s failure to confront this hatred will erode not only its morality but its humanity itself.
