The Pulse of Israel

Israel is under attack again. Hundreds and hundreds of rockets have been launched by Arab Muslim terrorists in Gaza, literally only feet away from residential homes. Israel is currently attacking terror targets in Gaza as we speak. However, this will not end the terror from our enemies in Gaza. The solution is simple and it is up to us. Do not miss hearing the politically incorrect truths about ou...

Yisrael & Nechama are modern King Davids standing up as proud Jews, protecting the Jewish people and the land of Israel just by how they are living their lives. You do not want to miss being inspired by their story. Unfortunately, Yisrael was recently attacked by Arab Muslims. They need our help. Please help Yisrael & Nechama while Israel is in the hospital. Yisrael & Nechama are proud...

This week Jewish people around the world will be celebrating the holiday of Lag Ba’omer. Why? Israel will be filled with bonfires up and down the country. Again, why? There is so much depth to this holiday that even many Jews don’t even grasp. What are we celebrating???This morning’s Pulse of Israel Torah Talk with Rabbi Shlomo Katz breaks down the powerful and deep meaning of the Lag Ba’omer holi...

The anti-democratic, anti-judicial reform movement is using the Declaration of Independence as a prop "proving" that the much needed, and democratic, judicial reform is anti-democratic. When was the last time you read or heard the words of Israel's Declaration of Independence? Once you do, one understands that nothing can be further from the truth. You do not want to miss hearing how...

Many European Jewish youth do not attend Jewish dayschools and lack proper Jewish education. While on a short family getaway to Venice, Italy I met up with Tali Basali who is providing a solution to solve that problem. Join me in the famous Venice Ghetto as I speak to Tali about life in Venice and her special educational project for European Jewish youth. I promise, more Pulse of Israel episodes w...

Talking truth about Israel with Dave Rubin as we walk to the Old City of Jerusalem, the eternal, Biblical, beautiful and indivisible capital of the Jewish people since King David’s time! Since Dave is someone who understands that the cultural/political upheaval in the US is similar to the one going on today in Israel, I asked him for words of advice/encouragement for the Israeli people. Let’s just...

This is one of many, many examples of legal injustice which highlights the need for judicial reform in Israel.

Learning about a hero.

The Jewish people usually enters our national days of mourning and celebration as a unified nation, despite the social tensions that exist. This year is different. This year, a tiny elite extreme left has taken over and created a public atmosphere of division, even though we are not divided! As I keep on emphasizing, in reality we are one united people here in Israel, with a tiny, yet rich and pow...

Moral equivalency and political correctness has killed morality today. Period. Unfortunately, due to this publicly accepted and condoned culture of immorality, innocent Jews are being attacked, and even killed, daily. Why should our Arab Muslim enemies stop? Their acts of violence against us are being condoned by the Western world. Rabbi Shlomo Katz's blood was "boiling" after I shar...

Besides saving our lives, this is the #1 reason that is hardly ever mentioned. I would love to hear your thoughts.

I had the merit of interviewing Boca Raton Synagogue Rabbi Efrem Goldberg and Rabbi Shay Shachter of Woodmere Synagogue after their special visit to Leo Dee, a student of theirs that neither had a chance to personally meet. You see, both of these Rabbis record Torah lessons online with people all over the world who listen/watch to learn their Torah. When they heard from Leo Dee’s public remarks th...

As the Jewish people around the world, especially in Israel, are experiencing divisive times, it was a pleasure to speak with Ori Sobovitz about the amazing projects he works on to unite all Jews. While Ori works fulltime for OurCrowd, a top crowdfunding venture capital fund that invests in Israeli businesses and startups, he also finds the time for these special and needed projects. One of the pr...

Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu flew into our community to visit Leo Dee and his daughters. Join me as I share important words of truth about our situation as I was waiting for the Prime Minister to drive by and fly off.

We here in the community of Efrat, in the Judean Hills, home to the Dee family, are still very much experiencing the effects of the tragedy that befell the Dee family, our friends and neighbors. I sat down with Rabbi Shlomo Katz, my friend and Rabbi, to discuss what we are all experiencing, how it has impacted the Jewish people and most importantly, how we move forward as a people to put an end to...

I'm blessed to call Rabbi Leo Dee a friend.  While mourning for his wife and two daughters, murdered in a terror attack just last Friday, he is inspiring the whole Jewish people.

Our enemies don't stop. Rocket attacks during the Passover holiday and a terror attack hours ago that killed two daughters of a friend of mine in a shooting attack as they were driving. The wife/mother is in serious condition having surgery as I write these words. Please pray for the mother Leah bat Tziporah. We need to keep on telling the truth to wake people up. Please help me accomplish thi...

The judicial reform in Israel, currently stopped, has thrown Israel into a societal crisis as we have never experienced, including the insubordination of some of Israel's elite airforce pilots. Join me to understand, in a much deeper way, the societal impact this is having on Israeli society, how it is actually leading to the very positive outcome of many more Israelis waking up to the existen...

As Jews around the world prepare for Pesach/Passover, I just enjoyed a fabulous and extremely insightful interview with Rabbi Eli Mischel connecting the very saddening state of current events today in Israel to a beautiful teaching of Rav Kook and the redemption story that we celebrate on Passover. The bottom line, we have to view what we are experiencing today as a people with regard to the judic...

What a fascinating conversation with Rabbi Neil Winkler, a Rabbi I have had the privilege of knowing and learning from most of my life. Rabbi Winkler writes a weekly Torah column in the Orthodox Union's Israel Center's Torah Tidbits. I reached out to him after one of his thought-provoking articles about the Jewish people being the Chosen People. There is so much depth to understanding how...

Congressional staff members told me that I was on Capitol Hill on one of the craziest days in Congress. It was almost impossible to schedule a meeting with Congressman Jim Jordan since he was participating in back-to-back committee votes and meeting all day long. Thanks to the close relationship that we, at the Yes! Israel project, have developed with many US Congressmen, including Congressman Jor...

We are all being manipulated. Almost nothing we are being told about the judicial reform is true. Yet, it is causing tremendous damage to the unity of the Jewish people and the international standing of the Jewish state of Israel. Do not miss this episode to understand why this is being done and by whom.

Last week, Israel's Parliament, the Knesset, passed an extremely important law regarding the area of 4 destroyed Jewish communities during the 2005 Gaza disengagement. The passing of this law corrects a huge injustice that was done. It is a sign that the Jewish state of Israel is back on track. However, it is only the first step toward truly correcting the injustice of the summer of 2005.

I was not planning on recording this blessing at our private event, but my wife recorded me and I thought that the message is important to share with you as well. I would love to hear your thoughts. May the Almighty Above look after all of our soldiers standing on the front lines protecting us all in the freedom-loving world.

The latest report by Palestinian Media Watch shows the direct linkage between US funding of the Palestinian Authority and  UNRWA and the murder of Jews. Speaking with Maurice Hirsch, Legal Director of PMW about this latest report. This is an absolute immoral disgrace and the US government does not care. Instead, the Biden administration has recently promised more money to fund and train an even mo...
