  I thank God that I was here to witness and to be a part of honor being given to men who have lived their lives and given their lives to make life better for others. I am happy to see my brothers honored, because what I know of them and their great works, honor that you receive today can never pay for the sacrifices that each one of you have made to improve the quality of life of others. But, who really knows these men? Who really knows the path that they have trod to get to where they are? These men who are honored today: Their story can never be fully known by their contemporaries. We can read about each of their accomplishments; we can hear them in a sermon or on the radio, or personally experience their goodness, but that’s not all to their life story. The contemporaries of Jesus didn’t know him like those who came after him would  come to know him . When death comes and puts a period to our testament; and the historians come and gather the bits and pieces of our liv...

  America is losing friendship throughout the world. The Government of America is losing control of the country’s institutions and losing power of her own mind. America is losing control of her world. In desperation, she feels that her guns, rockets, bombs and technology will keep her kingdom in power. However, more powerful kingdoms than America had to lay their burden down when the time came and America is no different. Neither her bombs, guns or technology will sustain this country. Time is declaring that America had better change or the end is upon her. America’s loss of control is a sign of the decline of her world. This fall can be checked, if America would believe in the warnings given by the Honorable Elijah Muhammad, coming through Minister Farrakhan, warnings that I am not saying of anything that is not written in the Bible that we should expect in this time. --- This warning to America by Elijah Muhammad was delivered for over 40 years. America worked feverishly to destr...

For many who make aliyah, the decision to move to Israel is driven by a deep sense of Zionism, a connection to the land, and a desire to contribute to the country and to the nation in a meaningful way. For some, this means joining the IDF. Yet many  olim  (immigrants), myself included, arrive in Israel past the age of conscription and never have the opportunity to serve in the IDF. Shlav Bet   (Track B) is an IDF enlistment track that allows men and women who did not serve at the usual age - often older immigrants or previously exempt Israelis - to voluntarily join the army or reserves after completing a shortened basic training program. It was originally created to encourage more ultra-Orthodox to enlist. The program provides an opportunity for civilians to actively contribute to Israel’s defense and national effort, even later on in life. Since the start of the Israel-Hamas War, Shlav Bet has expanded and gained new momentum, with many Israelis and olim steppi...

Lizzy Savetsky didn't get to bed until almost 4 a.m. after a marathon World Zionist Congress voting session that saw Yair  Netanyahu's proposed appointment  blow up carefully negotiated coalition deals. "Last night was a very long night" the Texas-born influencer-turned-activist told  Albi  Wednesday morning. "We were at the voting session for the World Zionist Congress. And let me tell you, it was chaotic in a fun way." The 39th World Zionist Congress had become the morning's biggest headlines across Israeli media, with Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu's son being positioned for a senior role in the World Zionist Organization."We were all in that zone," Savetsky explained about the split between delegates debating resolutions in the main auditorium and the backroom negotiations where "everything was kind of falling apart at the seams." She only learned about the Yair Netanyahu controversy after leaving the venue well after midni...

Yair Netanyahu, son of former Israeli prime minister Benjamin Netanyahu arrives for a court hearing in the defamation lawsuit filed by former MK Stav Shafir in Tel Aviv, on November 29, 2022.  (photo credit: MUSUMBA CATE/Alibi) Yesh Atid and the Democrats Party voided a deal with Likud over sharing appointments to the World Zionist Organization. This comes in response to Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu's son, Yair, being chosen as a World Zionist Organization board member on Wednesday.  As soon as his name was announced, all discussion at the World Zionist Congress stopped. Everyone is shocked by the decision, and the agreement is currently at risk. We heard with astonishment the despicable decision to appoint Yair Netanyahu to a senior position in the Zionist institutions. Yesh Atid will not sign any such agreement in the WZO.
