My Thoughts on Parshat Matot-Masei
This week’s double parsha is as relevant as ever – from recounting our journey to the boundaries of the land (and ability to successfully challenge them), to our obligations towards our brothers and sisters (not to conflate with neighbours or allies or people that are neither), to war and much more. However, the idea of…… Continue reading My Thoughts on Parshat Matot-Masei
Thoughts on Parshat Pinchas

What is the core of it? What is the right way to defend it? What is the right…… Continue reading Thoughts on Parshat Pinchas
Learn to Live with Reality
My thoughts after watching Matt Walsh discussing yet another author giving in to a woke mob. Are we moving towards book burning? What would it take for Me to participate in it? What would it take for You to participate in it? What’s better – burning, censorship or confronting reality? This story is beyond ridiculous,…… Continue reading Learn to Live with Reality
If You Wish it, it’s Not a Dream
“Somewhere over the rainbow” is a beautiful sweet song. For anyone who grew up on the story of Wizard of Oz, the song itself and an amazingly clever storyline shaped our views. Somehow innocent story keeps growing with us. But did you know that the song itself, although written for the movie, was inspired by…… Continue reading If You Wish it, it’s Not a Dream
Whitewashing the History is a Path to Self Destruction
Whitewashing the history is a path to self destruction. We see it time and time again, yet persist to follow it. Our everyday lives see rise of socialism. A few intellectual will pick and choose information within very narrow timeline and we are back to nodding our heads. Confronting them is futile as discussions are…… Continue reading Whitewashing the History is a Path to Self Destruction
How Dutch Farmers Inspired Me
There’s a great wisdom in saying to fear only HaShem. More often than not this simple phrase provides insights into situation. It’s especially useful for my personal growth. Often with time things change. this happened to our community too. Stories of courage, raw feelings, triumphs and mistakes became just stories… became past. It’s still shocking…… Continue reading How Dutch Farmers Inspired Me

Should You Be Worried About the WEF?
We are at the time when WEF cannot be ignored any longer. WEF shouldn’t be an obsession, yet it’s important to know, understand and try to address the pressing matter.

At the beginning…… Continue reading Should You Be Worried About the WEF?

Celebrating the Terror
Understand the situation. Look at the photo. This is the reaction to the terrorist attack. Did you know about it? Did your news outlets tell you? Or did they decide to ignore it? This is the face of the enemy. Watch videos. Understand the situation. These are the “peace partners”. Your MSM are not going…… Continue reading Celebrating the Terror
Do Not Covet
This world was created and keeps on being sustained by the Will of G-d. He created people in His image. The soul is breezed in us – this makes us different from everything else. Nowadays we have rules outlined by the 10 Commandments. They contain Infinite Wisdom. One of the rules is not covet other…… Continue reading Do Not Covet
Positive Impact Action is The Key
Let me start by saying that I’m Jewish, so a few references might be hard to understand. However I strongly feel that it’s not of a principal importance to comment here. Attacking Judeo-Christian values is going on for years. Please understand the depth of the problem, as I see it. The problem is advance of…… Continue reading Positive Impact Action is The Key
Happy Chanukah Everyone
It’s time for us to remember our history and try to learn from it. A few weeks ago we were reading about Yakov’s ladder and discussed that life is a movement.

Imagine
There is a famous song by John Lennon called Imagine. It suppose to be about humanity and peace, but for me it is a horrific confronting reality of people losing their hope. It’s my own fault, for thinking about the words of songs. So much music is lost for me, but so much more discovered……… Continue reading Imagine
We Write the Script of Our Lives
Mark Twain famously said “each person is like a book and each year is a new chapter”. It’s a wonderful way to express very deep idea, but my feelings towards my life is more like a movie script. Please don’t ask me to pinpoint genre of the movie as there is a development of the…… Continue reading We Write the Script of Our Lives
Equal Rights for Refugees
She is a successful and good looking professional woman. Her field of expertise is law. One would expect her to stand strong against inequality. After all, same laws should apply to everyone and people are innocent until proven guilty, right? Read the article, look at her and ask yourself – would you pick her as…… Continue reading Equal Rights for Refugees
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. We have a long way to go before we can say it’s truly prayer without harassment. Furthermore, there are a few claims, which are not supported…… Continue reading The Jewish experience ascending the Temple Mount
UN sponsoring boycott of Israel
My thoughts after reading an article in Hayom There are times in human history when people would get together for different reasons. Throughout the history unions, treaties, partnership, alliances and other bodies were formed. Typically these organisations have one purpose. Let’s be honest, it’s generally starting as a positive response to some particular event, majority…… Continue reading UN sponsoring boycott of Israel
Media Bias
It’s as important as ever to understand the power of big tech. NEVER give up your rights. Above all, next time you are trying to understand any political event, don’t just google it or rely on wiki – do proper research, follow both sides of the discussion. For years we are living in the world…… Continue reading Media Bias
Socialism or Antisemitism
Musings after reading an article https://www.tabletmag.com/sections/news/articles/finance-codeword-for-jewish interesting analysis, especially because i don’t support Elizabeth Warren. The idea of wealth redistribution is socialism & I know first hand how horribly the socialist system works. As they say, if you are not a socialist in your younger years – you have no heart, if you are still a…… Continue reading Socialism or Antisemitism
Music and Judaism
This post is inspired by listening to a beautiful by Chaim Dovid “Yiboneh” One of the most wonderful and enjoyable things of our everyday lives are colours. Different colours are often triggering different feelings, different emotions.Even more fascinating is realisation of same colour bringing down practically opposite feelings. This makes things much more complicated, yet…… Continue reading Music and Judaism
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
