Everybody wants spirituality. To be a good person means to walk in G-d's ways. How does that translate to reality? The only guidebook to spirituality that has stood the test of time is the Hebrew Bible. The Bible says that the Jews will be a light onto the nations. But if you are not a born Jew, you have to convert, which is not so easy!! If you do convert, it is a lot of work to be a Jew (three times a day prayer, keeping kosher, observing the Sabbath).
This blog will show you how to be Jewish without the work!!

Breaking news: Bennett Tells Israeli Citizens ‘It’s Time to Carry the Gun’ By Hana Levi Julian and Jerusalem’s Deputy Mayor Scolds Blinken: You’re Not Welcome Here and The tallest outdoor elevator in the world (In China naturally) and What's My Line? - Final CBS Show; PANEL: Martin Gabel, Steve Allen (Sep 3, 1967) [W/ COMMERCIALS]
Yehuda Lave is an author, journalist, psychologist, rabbi, spiritual teacher, and coach, with degrees in business, psychology and Jewish Law. He works with people from all walks of life and helps them in their search for greater happiness, meaning, business advice on saving money, and spiritual engagement.
The Three are Rabbi Yehuda Glick, famous temple mount activist, and former Israel Mk, and then Robert Weinger, the world's greatest shofar blower and seller of Shofars, and myself after we had gone to the 12 gates of the Temple Mount in 2020 to blow the shofar to ask G-d to heal the world from the Pandemic. 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.
Jerusalem's Deputy Mayor Scolds Blinken: You're Not Welcome Here
Deputy Mayor Arieh King, known for settling Jews in East Jerusalem, accuses Blinken of 'creating a provocation'
FILE - Arieh King at a Jerusalem City Council Credit: Emil Salman Jerusalem Deputy Mayor Arieh King called on U.S. Secretary of State Anthony Blinken to leave the city in a tweet on Monday, saying the visit by the top American diplomat "creates a bad feeling to most of Jerusalem residance [sic]."
Blinken, who visited Jerusalem on Sunday ahead of Israel's Negev Summit, tweeted a condemnation of the terrorist attack in the city of Hadera, saying the U.S. "stands with our Israeli partners and sends our condolences to the families of the victims."
To this, King retorted in a tweet rife with typos: "Dear Sir. May I ask you as a deputy mayor of Jerusalem, the Jewish holy capital, to leave our city? You are not welcome at all. Your visit to Jerusalem is creating a bad feeling to most of Jerusalem's residence. It seems that you intend to create a provocation. Please leave our Capital."
King, who is best known for settling Jews in East Jerusalem and evicting Palestinian families from the city's Sheikh Jarrah neighborhood, was appointed deputy mayor in 2020, and is no stranger to controversy.
In 2018, he pushed to shut down a Palestinian owned bread-stand in the Old City, calling it a step in "the Judaization of Jerusalem."
In 2020, King was caught on tape dragging an anti-Netanyahu protester on the ground, hailing "law and order" for assisting police in detaining him.
Last year, King was sued over threatening comments he made during a Sheikh Jarrah protest, in which he screamed at a Palestinian activist who had previously suffered from a gunshot wound: "How is your ass? The bullet is still there."
It's in China, as you may have guessed. It's 1070 feet high and is in the Wulingyuan part of Zhangjiajie, China.
It reminds me a bit of game of thrones, the wall. That thought is reinforced by the fact that it's called the 100 dragons elevator. But offers a ride for at least 50 visitors at a time. It cost $20 million to build.
If you are afraid of heights it might not be your thing. But it does offer an amazing view if you make it to that area.
Bennett Tells Israeli Citizens 'It's Time to Carry the Gun'
Prime Minister Naftali Bennett on Wednesday night called on all Israeli citizens who are licensed to carry a weapon, to do so.
The statement followed a series of three deadly terror attacks — in Be'er Sheva, Hadera and Bnei Brak — within a seven-day period, the most recent taking place Tuesday night.
Police officers were among the victims in two of the attacks.
Following is the complete transcript of Bennett's remarks, among the most serious to be delivered since Operation Guardian of the Walls, the war with Hamas that took place last May.
"Citizens of Israel, we are currently experiencing a wave of murderous terrorism and, just like in all the previous waves, we will prevail, together.
In the last 24 hours, the security establishment has been acting with full force to restore security to Israel's cities and a feeling of security for you, the citizens.
The IDF, the ISA and the Israel Police have significantly increased their intelligence operations in order to reach, in a timely manner, those who are planning to carry out attacks. We have also reinforced the presence throughout the country of those in uniform and those carrying weapons.
From my point-of-view, there is no limit on resources.
The Israel Police has moved to working in an emergency capacity. At the same time, the IDF will be reinforcing the police, with 15 companies of our best soldiers.
We are also calling up Border Police companies. There are two new companies and another company in the area adjacent to the Gaza Strip.
Also, we have decided to establish the 'Border Police Brigade' – which is new. This is a strategic move, beyond the current wave of terrorism, as a lesson from Operation Guardians of the Walls.
We established an immediate response motorcycle unit; this is the force that eliminated the terrorist in Bnei Brak last night.
As of now, our forces have carried out more than 200 investigation or arrest operations. The home of the terrorist in Ya'bad has already been mapped for demolition – and we are working to demolish it as soon as possible in order to create deterrence.
My directive is to be in contact with everyone who has had a previous connection with ISIS, simply to go to these people and carry out whatever action necessary, including preventive arrest.
We are also expediting the collection of illegal weapons in the Arab sector, which has accumulated an incredible amount over many years. Now is the time to clean this up.
The IDF has reinforced its units in Judea and Samaria and along the seam line with 15 battalions, a very considerable force.
As of now, soldiers in mandatory, career and reserve service, from rifle-level 3 and up, will carry their weapons home from their bases.
We are also currently evaluating a larger framework to involve civilian volunteers who want to help and be of assistance.
What is expected of you, citizens of Israel? Alertness and responsibility. Open your eyes. Whoever has a license to carry a weapon, this is the time to carry it.
I would like to note the heroism and courage of police officer the late Amir Khoury, whose father I spoke with. Amir engaged the terrorist last night and paid with his life. We will remember him always.
Citizens of Israel, this is neither our first nor our second wave of terrorism. We have experience with struggle. Israeli society, when it is tested, knows how to show composure, remain resilient and rise to the occasion. We cannot be broken.
I would like to express my deepest appreciation for the Israel Police officers, IDF soldiers and ISA personnel, who are working 24/7 and are giving their hearts and souls in order to restore the security to us all.
Thank you."
