Current events

In the face of unimaginable tragedy, something else happened too: barriers between Jews began to fall. Religious and secular. Right and left. Soldiers and Torah scholars. People who had spent years arguing suddenly remembered something deeper: We are one people. As we mark another anniversary of October 7, Rabbi Lazer Brody—an IDF veteran who later transformed his life through Torah—asks a difficult question: Have we already begun to forget? Drawing on his combat experiences, extraordinary moments of brotherhood between Jews who seemingly had nothing in common, and his journey from a secular soldier to a life of Torah, Rabbi Brody explains what he believes Israel needs most to face the challenges ahead.

On Wednesday, September 30, 2026, FlyDubai Flight FZ1073 from Dubai, UAE (United Arab Emirates) to Tel Aviv, Israel almost became Israel's version of 9/11. Knowing that most of the passengers were Israelis, a frenzied, Jihadi-indoctrinated co-pilot from Oman attempted to hijack the flight and self-destruct by attacking the captain with an emergency hatchet that was in the cockpit. The ruckus forced the Boeing 737 MAX 8 into a dangerous nosedive over Saudi Arabian airspace.
Thanks to the Almighty's string of miracles, the heroic captain, despite serious injuries and severe blood loss, managed to open the cockpit door. 3 alert Israeli passengers from Israel stormed the cockpit, seized the would-be suicide-terrorist co-pilot, and pulled back on the throttle to pull the aircraft out of the nosedive. An off-duty pilot aboard the flight miraculously stabilized the aircraft and made a safe emergency landing at Tabuk Airport in Saudi Arabia. The miracles are mind-boggling:

I don't know how to express my concern for my beloved country that is now the victim of unprecedented intramural hate and discord, so I invented Old Charlie. He's the type of leader we need, especially now.

The Jewish People's turbulent history is one continuous story of Divine Direction. It transcends all logic, military and otherwise. It's beyond nature to the extent that experts in military history and strategy understand everything but Jewish history. That's exactly what Hashem's personal Divine Direction is, constantly defying nature and logic.

Draft the Haredim? Don't draft the Haredim? The debate is meaningless until Israel decides what type of army they want. An army like Gideon's adheres to one set of rules only, and they're neither conventional nor politically correct. And, only the best are fit for service...

Moshiach won't come until we all learn emuna. The Land of Israel is the Land of Emuna and Hashem wants us all here. That way, He can expedite the process of Redemption. If we don't take the initiative, Hashem prods us. Putin's declaration of war against the Ukraine is Hashem's way of prodding the Ukrainian Jews to come home. Zohran Mamdani was elected mayor of NYC for the same reason. Mamdani is an eagle in disguise, to uplift New York's Jews and to bring them home too.
