“Gender Resource Fairโ For Students
Did you ever look at historical events & got puzzled at how anyone can be so blind/stupid to believe/follow/ participate in anything like that? Such easy clear choice. How could they? Easy?

The Jewish experience ascending the Temple Mount
My thoughts after reading an article in the Jerusalem Post. It’s a great improvement, yet it’s not a true freedom to pray in the holiest place for every Jewish person.

Tragedy
G-d creates everything and everyone. People aren’t able to understand anything. We can learn, try, struggle – however the more we learn, the more we appreciate our ignorance. Tragedy struck on this Lag B’Omer. What happened to all the lessons and inspirational stories? What happened to understanding? Why do I feel numb? Numb and ignorant……… Continue reading Tragedy
The Hate is Blind
We all remember endorsement of Nazism by mufti of Jerusalem and his personal friendship with Hitler… we remember the history.

In the time when we remember victims…… Continue reading The Hate is Blind
