Land of Israel

What do we need a Holy Temple for? Here's a 3-minute message from the holiest place on earth.

Should Haredim serve in the IDF? Israeli media personality and spokesman of Hevron Rabbi Yishai Fleisher interviews Rabbi Lazer Brody. This interview is not at all politically correct, but truth has nothing to do with political correctness. Here's what we need to know to make an equitable draft law.

Draft the Haredim? Don't draft the Haredim? First, Israel must decide what type of army they want. A conventional army sometimes wins, sometimes not. An army like Gideon's adheres to one set of rules only, and they're neither conventional nor politically correct.

"Perek Shira", the "Song of Creation" teaches us that every creation sings its own unique song of praise to the Almighty. Rebbe Nachman adds that when a person prays in the field, all of creation joins in…

King David reviews the magnificent miracles that Hashem did for the Jewish Nation since the dawn of its history. Psalm 105 is also the certificate of birthright that Hashem grants His chosen people – the deed to the Land of Israel.

From the holy gravesite of Rebbe Eliezer ben Yaacov in a cave near Meron, here is a timely message about our enemies and how to defeat them.

Fleeing from the horrific Hamas Nukba-force assault on the Nova festival in Re'im forest, 16 young people took refuge in the "Migunit" at the adjacent bus station. A "migunit" is a small above-ground concrete shelter that shields people from missile attacks. 16 young people crowded into this small space. Hamas terrorists logged grenades inside, but a young hero - Aner Shapira - picked them up and threw them back. He succeeded 7 times, but the 8th grenade killed him. You can see the concrete migunit full of shrapnel holes. The inside walls are covered with graffiti, messages loved ones to their holy martyrs.

The holy Idra is the semicircular cave where Rebbe Shimon bar Yochai would teach the secrets of the esoteric Torah to his disciples. In the northern Galilee not far from the Lebanese border, its surroundings bear witness to the current conflict with Hezbolla.

Seeing the grassroots spiritual arousal of our soldiers on the Gaza border is heartwarming. Their morale is phenomenally high. What's more, there's unity down here, and emuna too. They are my people and my country. I bless them all day long. Regards from the Gaza border.

Imagine that 40 Nakba special-ops Hamas terrorists are occupying your home. You are locked in the house bomb-shelter and they know it. Explosions, screaming, shouting in Arabic, a raging battle outside - and you are living this nightmare. Hear the first-hand story of Racheli Fricker, who miraculously survived the Be'eri massacre of Simchat Torah, October 7, 2023. See how the merit of charity, Sabbath observance and building the synagogue at Be'eri all stood as a protective force for Racheli and her family.

We visit a grueling reminder of the atrocities from October 7, 2023 Hamas attack against the south of Israel. Outside of Tekuma, near the Gaza border, is a car graveyard. Yet it's different from any other car graveyard. Here, all the cars are covered with bullet holes, broken glass and ripped metal. People tragically went to their deaths in these cars. This is a painful reminder why we are at war. It's an existential war, fighting for our lives and our homeland.

With the sounds of war in the background, Rabbi Lazer interviews Racheli Fricker, who built and founded the synagogue at Be'eri. A totally secular kibbutz right on the Gaza border, Be'eri lost 101 of its residents on October 7, 2023, victims of the Hamas onslaught and atrocities. The terrorist abducted another 30 residents and took them to Gaza as hostages. 150 homes were burned and destroyed. In the middle of this devastation, the synagogue remained unscathed. Here is the amazing story.
