Israel at 78: The Future It Must Build

2026-04-24T13:59:00.004-04:00

Please see my new article in The Times of Israel called "Israel at 78: The Future It Must Build."

Israel’s 78th Independence Day serves as a powerful reminder that Jewish sovereignty is a lived reality, balancing the unrestrained joy of the next generation with the steady resolve of those who defend it. This restoration of dignity and agency defies centuries of displacement, asserting a permanent right to self-determination that persists despite modern challenges and critics' double standards. Rooted in the ethic of teshuvah, the nation embraces a culture of self-reflection and responsibility rather than a claim to perfection. As Israel looks toward its 80th year, it remains committed to a future defined by regional cooperation, global innovation through Tikkun Olam, and an unyielding security that protects its moral purpose.

Politics Must Never Trump Morality

2026-04-19T16:28:12.805-04:00

Please see my new article in The Times of Israel called "Politics Must Never Trump Morality."

The United States is currently experiencing a dangerous lapse in strategic judgment by allowing partisan politics to undermine its essential alliance with Israel against the Iranian regime. While Iran continues to fuel global instability through terrorist proxies and nuclear ambitions, American leaders must reject baseless conspiracy theories and the rising tide of antisemitism that seeks to recast democratic defense as aggression. True national security requires the maturity to prioritize the victory of our warfighters and the integrity of our borders over domestic grievances or ideological activism. Ultimately, America must reclaim its moral clarity by standing unapologetically with its allies and maintaining a firm distinction between democratic partners and terrorist adversaries.

Holy Math: Why the Number 8 Changes Everything

2026-04-12T06:38:00.002-04:00

Please see my new article in The Times of Israel called "Holy Math: Why the Number 8 Changes Everything."

The "Eighth Day" is our sacred mandate to stop escaping the physical world and start sanctifying it, merging the raw materials of our lives with the fire of the Divine. From the act of circumcision and the inauguration of ancient Tabernacle to the miraculous oil of Chanukah, we see that the number eight is the heartbeat of Jewish resilience and the ultimate key to rededication. Even in our darkest modern moments, like the transition from the agony of October 7 to the unified defiance of October 8, we prove that pain can be transmuted into a powerful, holy purpose. This is the secret of our existence: taking every cry, every coin, and every breath to build a home for G-d right here in the thick of human experience.
