Love Yehuda Lave Join my blog by sending me an email to YehudaLave@gmail.com Now is a good time to start reminding my readers about two Kiddishes I will be sponsoring in honor of my recent birthday. Please mark your calendars as they are both on Shabbat when you can't use your phone. The first will be this Shabbat, May 11 at Shier Hadash with Rabbi Pearl. Shier Hadash is in the German Colony/ Baka area. Please contact me if you need the location. The second will be the following Shabbat May 18th at my Yeshiva, Ner Avraham in Rehavia. I will also be sponsoring the third meal here. Again please contact me if you need the location. You only have a birthday like this one once (of course that is true for all birthdays) so, I would all my friends to come to help me celebrate. I am doing it in both places because I daven in both places. Each has a beautiful spiritual energy to them. The Three Musketeers at the Kotel 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. Strangling Israel slowly by Melanie Phillips A remarkable realignment may be under way: Israel and the Arabs v America and Iran. https://www.israelnationalnews... Eight Israeli Prime Ministers Thomas Friedman Has Attacked Perhaps the most remarkable chapter in Friedman's history of verbally accosting Israeli prime ministers concerns the tenure of Ehud Olmert, whose policies and positions arguably were the most left-of-center of any Israeli leader in many decades.  Dr. Rafael Medoff https://www.israelnationalnews...
