“Resistance fighters” that mow down unarmed ravers at a concert. That enter towns slaughtering innocent families. That intentionally burnt down houses with babies inside. That kidnapped grandmothers and infants.
Yes, keep thinking you’re in the moral right on this one.

Yes but was it proportionate to choke the death cult jihadist?

I thoroughly enjoyed @sinakahen's The Battle for the Jewish Mind, a serious, forceful argument for reclaiming Torah-based engagement with science and reason. I hope it spurs my generation to move closer to becoming the "wise and understanding people" we are destined to be.

I am truly honored to have been part of this historic gathering.
For two days in NYC, 150 rabbis and community leaders from around the world came together at the UJA @UJAfedNY for the second Sephardic Rabbinic Conference @SephardiRabbis.
Under this year’s theme, The Art of Leadership, we explored how to cultivate an authentic and balanced Sephardic voice of leadership. A voice marked by integrity, responsiveness, creativity, responsibility, and adaptability; attentive to the changing world around us, deeply rooted in Torah, and unwavering in its commitment to the Jewish people.
The first day concluded with a beautiful evening of music at the historic Shearith Israel synagogue.
I am deeply grateful to every delegate, especially those who traveled from around the world, who made the effort to participate, to the organizations that supported and believed in this gathering, and to all the volunteers who helped make it possible.
And a special thank you to my dear friends and fellow organizers, Avi Garson @AviGarson and Ethan Marcus, for their tremendous work, vision, and dedication that brought it all together.
Difficult to focus on the Purim miracle

This British government oozes weakness.
This moment that demands moral clarity and siding with good versus evil.
Instead we are getting hesitation, appeasement and trembling knees.
In moments like this you need Churchill, not Chamberlain.

This is a clear desecration of G-d’s name and at a time when our IDF soldiers are engaged in the utmost holy work, risking their lives day and night to defend our country and protect every citizen of Israel, turning against them in anger or violence is not only morally wrong, it undermines the very values of Torah and Jewish unity.
Two female IDF soldiers are chased by a mob of Haredi men in Bnei Brak before they are extracted by police.
The servcieowmen serve with the Education Corps, and were in the ultra-Orthodox city as part of a home visit to one of their soldiers. They are not with the Military Police, contrary to some claims.
Footage circulating on social media shows the two women running as they are escorted by police, as a large crowd of men chases after them.
Trash cans are knocked over as the rioting group follows the women through the street in the Haredi-majority city. The crowd also overturned a police car.
Police say in statement that the situation is now under control after the two soldiers were extracted from the area.
The IDF has not yet commented.
There’s a deafening silence from the self-styled “human rights” brigade.
You know why?
Because it’s all façade. They never cared about “the oppressed”. They just despise the West, America, and Israel.
The villains don’t fit the script so they look away.

אני פשוט לא מסוגל לשתוק יותר.
היום נדרס למוות נער חרדי בהפגנה נגד הגיוס בירושלים. תמונות של האירוע הטרגי הזה לא יוצאות לי מהראש. לבי עם המשפחה, באמת. אבל הכאב הופך לכעס גדול.
בזמן שכל הפוליטיקאים, מש"ס, מיהדות התורה, מהאופוזיציה ומהקואליציה, רצים להאשים את הנהג הדורס (שחלק מהדיווחים אומרים שהוא ערבי) ומסירים מעצמם כל אחריות, אני שואל: ומה עם ההנהגה שלנו? מה עם הרבנים והאדמו"רים ששולחים אלפי אנשים, כולל ילדים ונערים, לחסום כבישים בלי שום תיאום, בלי אבטחה, בלי מחשבה על הסכנות?
ההפקרות הזאת מטורפת. הכתובת על האספלט כבר מזמן, ובטח מאז אסון מירון שבו נהרגו 45 אנשים בגלל אותה התנהלות חסרת אחריות בדיוק. למדנו משהו? כלום. שום דבר. ועכשיו שוב משלמים בדם של נער תמים.
נמאס לי. נמאס לי שהמאבקים הפוליטיים של המנהיגים שלנו מסכנים את החיים של הילדים שלנו. נמאס לי שכל פעם שקורה אסון, כולם מאשימים את "האחר" ומתחמקים מאחריות.
אני דורש חקירה אמיתית. לא רק נגד הנהג, אלא גם נגד מארגני ההפגנה, נגד מי שקראו לצאת לרחובות בלי תכנון, נגד מי שמעדיף כוח פוליטי על פני חיי אדם.
די להפקרות. די לסיכון חיי ילדים בשביל נקודות פוליטיות. הגיע הזמן שהקהילה החרדית תתעורר ותדרוש מנהיגות אחראית – לפני האסון הבא.
שתפו אם גם לכם נמאס.
Never apologize for Jewish agency, Jewish strength, or Jewish self-defense.
That is what “Never Again” actually means!
A pro-Maduro march in Switzerland with Venezuelan flags without a single Venezuelan.
Same self-styled “human rights” activists who show up to every pro-Palestine rally. They don’t care about freedom or suffering. They hate America, despise the West, romanticize communism & cheer on dictators.

Over Shabbos I read this fabulous book on the Chacham Zevi. I enjoyed every page, but was especially struck by his stance in the generation after the Shabbatai Zevi crisis. Long after the shock had passed, its echoes still lingered and not everyone was prepared to name them. 1/5
