It was a highlight to my experience in living in Israel and I put it on my blog each day to remember. The articles that I include each day are those that I find interesting, so I feel you will find them interesting as well. I don't always agree with all the points of each article but found them interesting or important to share with you, my readers, and friends. It is cathartic for me to share my thoughts and frustrations with you about life in general and in Israel. As a Rabbi, I try to teach and share the Torah of the G-d of Israel as a modern Orthodox Rabbi. I never intend to offend anyone but sometimes people are offended and I apologize in advance for any mistakes. The most important psychological principle I have learned is that once someone's mind is made up, they don't want to be bothered with the facts, so, like Rabbi Akiva, I drip water (Torah is compared to water) on their made-up minds and hope that some of what I have share sinks in. Love Rabbi Yehuda Lave. Blackstone president Jonathan Gray donates $125 million to Tel Aviv University This donation, the largest in the history of the university, will fund the development of new facilities and scholarships for the School of Health and Medical Sciences.

Love Rabbi Yehuda Lave. What Israel's Enemies Don't Want You to Know I was shocked, and you will be too, by the calculated, weaponized Arab campaign to deny the Jewish people's historical claim to Jerusalem. I lived for 39 years in the Old City of Jerusalem, so I saw firsthand the abundant archeological proof of Jews having been here for a thousand years until the Romans exiled us in 70 CE. Only when I read the gripping new book, When the Stones Speak: What Israel's Enemies Don't Want You to Know did I realize that these archeological discoveries were a hot political issue. The protestors in American university campuses shouting, "From the river to the sea…" have no idea that the Jews are the indigenous people of the patch of land between the Jordan River and the Mediterranean Sea. What Israel's Enemies Don't Want You to Know | Aish Rare discovery at capital of the Kingdom of Israel After nearly a century of archaeological silence, the ancient stones of Sebastia are speaking again as Israeli excavators uncover remarkable finds. Hanan Greenwood Rare discovery at capital of the Kingdom of Israel - JNS.org Remains of the palace of Ahab, the seventh king of Israel, at Sebastia in Samaria. Aug. 23, 2007. Photo by Daniel Ventura  (June 7, 2025 / Israel Hayom) After nearly a century of archaeological silence, the ancient stones of Sebastia, once known as the city of Shomron (Samaria in English), are speaking again as Israeli excavators uncover remarkable evidence of the grandeur that defined the biblical capital of the Kingdom of Israel. The excavation launched two weeks ago has already yielded extraordinary discoveries, including an elegant stone pavement that formed part of a ceremonial street leading from the city's heart to its main gate. Aaron Lansky built a home for 1.5 million Yiddish books. Now he's handing over the keys. The founding president of the Yiddish Book Center is retiring, confident that Yiddish literature has a future. Aaron Lansky built a home for 1.5 million Yiddish books. Now he's handing over the keys. - Jewish Telegraphic Agency Steven Spielberg had already donated money to the Yiddish Book Center when he asked if the center's founder, Aaron Lansky, might fly out to Los Angeles and drop by his office. The filmmaker doesn't usually meet with the beneficiaries of his philanthropy, Lansky told me recently, but wanted to explain his support for what is now the Steven Spielberg Digital Yiddish Library at the YBC, an online collection of more than 12,000 Yiddish titles. "'You have to understand,' he said, 'that what I do for a living is I tell stories,'" Lansky recalls Spielberg telling him. "'The idea that you have miles of Jewish stories that have yet to be told, that's just irresistible to someone like me.'" Aaron Lansky speaks at a Yiddish Book Center gala, May 4, 2025. (Susan Magnano/Magnanimous Pictures) Architect Allen Moore's design for the Yiddish Book Center in Amherst, Massachusetts echoes the roof lines of a typical Jewish shtetl.
