Yeshiva University has a long history of tolerating extreme left-wing views and activities on campus (while showing little tolerance for extreme right-wing views). To cite just two examples: It employed a transgender professor for 15 years and continues to employ a Bible(!) professor who advocates ignoring the Torah's views on homosexuality.

He points out that the state was doing contortions to avoid the suggestion that they may close yeshivas, because they fear its a toxic death blow to their case.

In this bombshell interview, Yanki shares an exclusive behind-the-scenes analysis of last week’s talks among Gedolim and Charedi leadership, regarding the Charedi draft, and specifically whether to make unprecedented concessions.
Yanki discusses the following:
- Are the Gedolim ready to allow the IDF to draft non-learning Charedim?
- Why has there been a shift in the position of Charedi leaders, who seem willing to make unprecedented concessions?
- Is there a concern that if the door is open for Charedi bochurim to serve, it will attract boys who should not be leaving yeshiva?
- The surprising benefits that at-risk Charedi boys have experienced when joining the IDF
- Would there be backlash if the Gedolim make concessions?
- Are the Gedolim all in agreement about the next move?
- If no Charedi draft deal is made (as Yanki predicts), what will the repercussions be? Will the yeshivas lose funding? Will the Likud coalition collapse?

book mentioned in the episode: America First: The Story of Sol Bloom, the Most Powerful Jew in Congress During the Holocaust
When the atrocities of October 7th happened, the world was shocked at the brutalities. People outside of Israel who were not directly affected, went on with their lives. But the Israelis who had no homes to go back to, who were displaced, and had no homes, clothing, food, the bare necessities that a human being needs, those people could not go back to their lives. They desperately needed help. The IDF was not fully prepared with the supplies that the chayalim that were deployed needed. The families of the chayalim became in dire need. People who wanted to help those in need, many did not know where to even begin. And this is
where Moshe Bodner jumped right with his renowned leadership skills, and he literally changed the world with arranging for a warehouse so that goods and supplies can be shipped to Israel, and a world-altering unity shabbaton that he is planning.
Baila Sebrow, producer and host of The Definitive Rap Show sat down with Woodmere resident, Moshe Bodner to talk extensively about his initiative, how it took off, and it went far and wide.
Moshe is an experienced organizational leader who is a senior operating executive with extensive global management in the telecommunications and technology sectors. He has a proven record of achievement, strong leadership skills, effective decision-making capability, and a pragmatic approach to resolving business issues.
Moshe Bodner established the Israel Chesed Center immediately following the Simchat Torah Massacre. To date, the operation has sent over 4,000 duffel bags of gear to Israel – approximately 80% for chayalim and the rest for Mefunim (displaced people). The operation also facilitates other chasadim for Israel – shabbat meals for soldiers, gifts and activities for mefunim, and community engagement and volunteering throughout the NY/NJ area. The Israel Chesed Center is spearheading the upcoming Unity Shabbat, which will feature a hoist of activities, volunteering and Chayalim spending Shabbat in various communities. Moshe and his 6 kids lived in Israel for many years and currently has 2 in Israel – a son and daughter-in-law in Israel (she is currently a tank driver on the Syrian border), a son learning in Yeshiva in Jerusalem,
and 4 other children currently in NY.
In a miracle operation, the IDF was able to rescue two hostages without any casualties or injuries.

What happened on October 7th to the victims and their families, their suffering will always be with them, a part of them. This is not something anyone can get over. The brutalities of murders, rapes mutilations, tortures, of innocent babies, children, women, and men, because they happened to have been born Jews, or they happened to be in a Jewish location at the time of the attacks. Furthermore, how so many people within several nations that are saying it’s the Jews that are at fault. That they are the occupiers, the aggressors, and that the Jews are committing Genocide. What is happening to society? Where is the
international outrage? To date, 120 plus hostages are still being held in Gaza, Medical exams of the released hostages revealed physical, sexual, and psychological abuse. Where is world condemnation on Hamas’s
intentional abuse, murder, and torture?
Alex gave an update about what’s going on now in the IDF military operation, and he spoke in great detail why there is so much American support for Hamas, particularly in the college campuses.
He also discussed how United Nations and everyone else keeps talking about the humanitarian crisis inside Gaze, and why bordering Egypt doesn’t take in the Palestinians, and offered his take on Netanyahu’s war
leadership at the present time.

It sounds too good to be true, but New College, a woke institution of higher learning in Florida, is in the process of becoming conservative/classically liberal thanks to Governor Ron DeSantis. Can this be just the first of similar transformations around the country? Bruce Abramson, PhD – the author of several books and New College's recently-hired dean of admissions – thinks so. He also believes that the new New College is a perfect fit for motivated Jewish students looking for an intellectually curious pro-Israel campus.

‘Israel Reclaiming the Narrative’ Fighting Hamas, BDS and Anti-Semitism' and his most recent book, ‘BDS for IDIOTS,’ employs ridicule as new method of countering BDS activists and disclaiming their slander against Israel with facts and humor.
As always Barry gives a full account of details not heard anywhere else. Mainstream media does not necessarily cover everything, and Barry always fascinates our viewers and listeners with facts not heard anywhere else.
Barry went into detail about why after 50 years after the bloody Yom Kippur war did this merciless attack happen in the first place,
perpetuating the war going on now, and whether it could have been prevented. A great portion of the discussion was who the Hamas sympathizers are in the United States. Barry also gave his opinion if we are headed into a Third World War.
Charedi journalist Yanki Farber revealed that the Charedi MK’s consulted with several Gedolim, prior to voting in favor of the hostage trade.
He says that the Rabbonim who were consulted by Knesset Members from Shas and UTJ include Rav Moshe Hillel Hirsch shlit”a, Rav Dov Landau shlit”a, and Rav Yitzchak Yosef shlit”a.
In addition, Yanki revealed new details and provided analysis about the Hamas hostage trade.
He said that sadly, Hamas may not be aware of the location and condition of many of the hostages, and they have not been open with Israel about these details. He also discussed the risk of a 5-day cease-fire, and whether it will allow Hamas to regroup and become more dangerous.
And Yanki discussed the fate of PM Netanyahu, as well as the heads of security, with whom the Israeli public is disenchanted, due to their major intelligence failure that was exposed on October 7.
What can we do about the recent rise in anti-Semitism?

Israel needs a Kach prime minister now more than ever. So is there a movement to lift the ban of Kach? Yekutiel Ben-Yaakov – who served as chief of operations for Rabbi Meir Kahane (and his son) – says no such movement currently exists, but he argues that it may be unnecessary. Circumstances are pushing Israelis into seeking Kahane-like solutions almost against their will, he says.

Arutz 7 article by Elliot Resnick
In this exclusive interview, renowned Charedi Israeli journalist Yanki Farber described the huge shifts happening in Bnei Brak and other communities, following the Hamas attack.
Yanki explained that the unspeakable and unprecedented October 7th attack sent a ripple effect throughout the Charedi community. Charedim may be ready to embrace the IDF like never before.
He also provided new details and analysis about the attack, which were revealed or discovered in the past few days.
Yanki discussed the following:
How are Charedim coping with this tragedy?
Why is this attack impacting Charedim personally much more than past attacks?
Will the tremendous unity last?
Will the attack prevent the Knesset from passing a law exempting Yeshiva students from the draft?
Will thousands of Charedim enlist in the army in coming days?
Which Gedolim do the Litvishe Charedim look to for guidance right now?
Why did Charedim begin to read (kosher) internet and news sites during COVID?
Since Israel virtually worships America, why not learn from America how to win a war? The U.S. last won a decisive military victory when Japan surrendered to it on September 2, 1945, leading to 80 years of peace between the two countries. Not a bad outcome. So how did America do it? I explain in this episode.

Moving to Israel is a Zionist ideal. It's also a Torah imperative. But black-hat (or 'yeshivish') Jews often approach this imperative sans all the halachic zeal and stringency that they normally bring to Torah instructions. Rabbi Yoel Berman – a member of the yeshiva world himself – is associated with several organizations devoted to making the Torah case for moving to Israel as well as helping black-hat Jews find their place in the Holy Land. Rabbi Berman argues that many of the practical reasons black-hat Jews used to offer for not moving to Israel simply no longer apply.

Almost every parenting expert tells you to give your child unconditional love. They're wrong. This advice, based on secular modern-day psychology, signals to a child that he can act improperly with impunity. He never need fear of losing the love of those he holds most dear.

A delegation of American roshei yeshivos led by Rav Mendel Slomovitz shlit”a of Lakewood are currently in Eretz Yisroel to confer with Rav Moshe Hillel Hirsch shlit”a regarding a potential ameliorator to the shidduch crisis.
As first reported by Israeli frum media site B’Chadrei Chareidim, the delegation consists of R’ Slomovitz along with R’ Mottel Dick shlit”a, Rav Yehuda Svei shlit”a, and the Novominsker Rebbe shlit”a.
The roshei yeshivos are considering eliminating one year of high school or bais medrash, and possibly the primary grade in elementary school, thereby having bochurim by default enter shidduchim at a younger age and hopefully lessening the infamous age gap. However, none of the roshei yeshiva want to take on the awesome responsibility of causing such changes, thus they are turning to Rav Moshe Hillel Hirsch.
“We have a real problem here and we have to solve it,” an unnamed administrator of an American yeshiva told B’Chadrei. “Roshei Yeshivos held meetings a number of times in order to discuss the issue but nothing has really succeeded yet in solving the problem.”
“Roshei Yeshivos decided that the phenomenon of learning at a later age in Eretz Yisrael needs to end but they don’t want to take responsibility alone for such a fateful question. Therefore, a decision was made that a number of leading Roshei Yeshivos will travel to Eretz Yisrael for a few hours and consult with the one who leads the yeshivos in Eretz Yisrael, HaGaon HaRav Moshe Hillel Hirsch [who is originally from the US], and whatever he decides is what will happen.”

Israeli citizens want to live in peace, and they go about their lives doing what they need to do. But, there are terrorists who seek to destroy and kill innocent people in terrorist attacks, and who do not want to live in peace.
On April 7th 2023, three precious beautiful souls were brutally murdered in a terror attack on the Route 57 highway near the Hamra Junction. Rebbetzin Lucy Dee, and her daughters, 20 year old Maia, and 15 year old Rina were shot by Palestinian gunmen, identified as Hamas members Hassan Katnani, Muad Masri. This murder happened while Lucy, Maia, and Rina were in their car on their way to a family trip. This tragedy shook the world at large. In the face of this catastrophe the world honors Rabbi Dee, widowed husband of Lucy, and father of Maia and Rine for his courage, heroism, and love of mankind, regardless of race or religion
Baila Sebrow, producer and host of The Definitive Rap sat with the esteemed inspirational Rabbi Leo Dee, the husband of Lucy, and
father of Maia and Rina.
Rabbi Dee described how it was for him when the murder first happened. He spoke about having donated the organs of Lucy to save lives, and that he feels no hatred for the murderers. Yet, he is disappointed with the media, specifically referring to CNN presenter Christina Macfarlane who stated after her interview, “And just as we heard there from Rabbi Leo’s story, coming up we’ll hear similar stories from Palestinians,” and CNN anchor Christiane Amanpour calling the terror attack a ‘shootout.
Rabbi Dee, talked about his wife, and daughters, and what they were like.

It is said that it takes a village to raise a child. It takes an entire community of people to provide by setting up resources so that those who are needy can benefit. The returns of doing that are
tremendous and it is the gift that keeps on giving.

Today’s parents are expected not only to care for their children but to help them develop the skills they’ll need to thrive in our current socioeconomic reality. Yet, the majority of parents—even the most caring ones—aren’t trained in skill development and lack the resources to get assistance. It’s almost like parents are being set up to fail! How do we fix this problem? And what happens if we don’t?
Baila Sebrow, producer and host of The Definitive Rap sat down with economist and father Nate Hilger, who holds a bachelor’s degree in economics from Stanford and a PhD in economics from Harvard. In 2020 he served as a lead policy consultant on early childhood and non-K12 child development issues. His work on the origins of success in children has been featured in the New York Times, the Washington Post, the Atlantic,
and others.
Nates suggests that the key is to ask less of parents, not more. He argues that America should consider child development a public investment with a potentially monumental payoff, and that we need a New Deal-style program on the scale of Medicare to
drive this investment. He calls it Familycare and, as he explains, to
make it happen parents must organize to wield more unified political power on behalf of children, who he points out will always be the largest bloc of disenfranchised people in this country.
Do parents have the necessary political juice? According to Nate, if they follow in the footsteps of people over 65 and focus on their broader shared interests, they can make a program like Familycare as politically sacred as Medicare and Social Security. As for what’s at stake, asking too much of parents results in lost opportunities that limit children’s success and make all of us worse off. His book The Parent Trap is tremendously hopeful.

Throughout history, the Jewish nation, and Israel, never falters - regardless of what happens. Always celebrating and standing tall. And we are seeing that now, amid ongoing protests, threats of war, terrorism, a problematic government, Israelis are standing resilient and strong, honoring and memorializing Yom Hashoa, and partying on Yom Hatzmaut, Israel Independence Day.
Discussing this and more, Baila Sebrow, producer and host of The Definitive Rap interviewed Marc Schulman, publisher at Editor of
Historycentral.com, Digitalone.com, and a Newsweek Columnist. Pursuing his three main interests, love of history, technology, and concern for the future of the Jewish people, for the past 20 years Marc has managed to successfully combine starting a growing a company that develops multimedia history products, and developing the world’s largest history website.
Marc talked about Israel’s recent tragic terrorist attacks, the Iranian drone that was downed over the Golan Heights, and missiles fired. Throughout this period of turmoil, demonstrations continue against the government’s planned judicial reforms, and yet most other countries would just let their Independence Day come and go. But not the Israelis! He explained to what was going in Israel on this festive day.
Marc discussed the broadcasted shocking poll for the new government, and what the polls indicated. He shared his opinion about the signing of an agreement between Israel and
Poland that will allow the continuation of youth trips.
Marc discussed in great detail about the economic situation in Israel right now, including inflation, and Israel’s position on the war between Russia and Ukraine.
The interview concluded with Marc’s explanation about being an Apple Developer since 1983, and what his company has done recently in the advancement of technology.
After four long, painstaking years, the Durham investigation is complete. John Durham taught us one thing for sure…Democrats always win.
The left can spy on presidential candidates, weaponize the justice system, invent crimes, spread hoaxes, and get Republicans thrown in jail for no reason. And they’ll always get away with it.
Three pathetic indictments. One pitiful conviction. Nobody fired or reprimanded. A colossal failure.
John Durham should be embarrassed. Yes he exposed the biggest political scandal in history, but he failed at his job, which is “prosecuting” crimes.
Ironically, the bombshell report he released this week is a huge win for the establishment.
Durham proved beyond doubt that the ‘Deep State’ is real. Yet he prosecuted merely three people, none of whom we have ever heard of, and two were acquitted.
Comey, McCabe, Strzok, Page, Brennan, Hillary, Mueller, Rosenstein, Jim Baker, Andrew the Pitbull, and yes…Obama and Biden…conspired to spy on Trump and accuse him of colluding with Russia.
None has been charged with so much as jaywalking, and none were fired as a result of the probe.
As always, the leftist establishment got away with it. They won. We lost.
The biggest takeaway from the Durham probe was…wait for it..a REPORT! Not just any report. A damning report. Are we supposed to celebrate?
Here are the indisputable facts:
- There has never been a shred of evidence that Trump colluded with Russia
- The Clinton campaign was behind the entire Russia hoax
- The fake Steele Dossier, upon which virtually the entire Russia hoax was based, was paid for by Hillary’s campaign
- The FBI lied repeatedly to the courts to obtain a warrant to spy on a presidential campaign
- The convictions of General Michael Flynn and George Papadapolous would never have happened, had there not been an investigation. They were ‘process crimes’ manufactured by the anti-Trump FBI.
- The Mueller probe was initially led by Stzrok and Page, until it was discovered that they are rabid leftists who despise Trump
- James Comey admitted under oath that he assured Trump on three separate occasions that he was not a subject of the Russia investigation. Trump urged Comey to make a public declaration, yet Comey repeatedly refused. That led to Trump firing Comey, which prompted the appointment of Mueller. Can you blame Trump for firing Comey? Would any of us have done differently?
- Carter Page, the Trump staffer who was spied on by the FBI because of Russia ties, was known to be a CIA asset. Although the FBI was aware of this, attorney Kevin Clinesmith altered an email to hide this fact from the FISA court, to obtain a warrant to spy
- British intelligence officials were unwilling to aid in the Russia hoax, because they knew that it was “devoid of predicating evidence.”
- Former Intel officials, including CIA Director John Brennan, promoted the bogus Russia collusion narrative, despite knowing there was no evidence
While long forgotten, Trump was mocked and ridiculed in 2017 when he revealed he was wiretapped at Trump Tower. It turns out, that was the small tip of a very large iceberg.
When Trump threatened to fire Bob Mueller, he was accused of obstruction. He was compared to Nixon. It turns out, he would have been 100% correct to do so. It would have saved millions of wasted taxpayer dollars and endless heartache. In fact, some people believe that the reason Mueller was appointed in the first place, was an effort to lure Trump into firing him, which then would have been used by Pelosi to impeach Trump. However he did not take the bait.
Amazingly, at the time the Russia hoax investigation was ongoing, some “conservative” pundits insisted that we should let the probe play out, and allow Mueller to finish the job. While many of us were screaming from the rooftops that the entire thing was a Deep State witch-hunt, others said that we should “stay the course”.
Now some of those same people have turned into ‘Monday morning quarterbacks’. They are doing high-fives, and essentially saying “See! We knew it was a hoax all along.” They did the same thing with Covid, the Hunter Biden laptop, and other scandals.
Yet what is most astonishing, is that right now, other hoaxes are taking place. Trump is still being indicted on bogus charges. The Deep State is still weaponizing the justice system, targeting good people like Elon Musk and others.
Some people are brave enough to speak the truth–not years later when John Durham gives them permission. But early on, when it’s unpopular. When it can get them banned from Youtube and Facebook for ‘disinformation’.
We need to call out the swamp, and prevent them from targeting and destroying anyone who does not support their narrative.
Otherwise, we may all eventually find ourselves in the crosshairs of the ‘Deep State’.

We've heard it countless times: Chassidic yeshivahs are failing their students by not providing them with a proper secular education. But are they? And if they are, is it the government's business to right this wrong? Frank Morano – host of 'The Other Side of Midnight' on WABC Talk Radio in New York – interviewed me on this topic a few months ago. Here is how it went.
This show that was recorded on Yom Hashoa in memory of
the more than 6 million kedoshim, the holy innocent men, women, and
children that were brutally murdered by the Nazis is different from all
others.
One of the questions that have remained unanswered about the atrocities committed by those who viewed Jews as vermin, as a dangerous microbe, or insect that only looks human is - “why.” Why did a so-called intellectual nation turn into killing machines.
The Holocaust was not a war like other wars where it’s about winning and gaining land, power, riches, or conversion to another religion. This was about the perpetrators exterminating Jews. That was the end goal. But, why? Why did this happen? How could such a monumental crime happen? How was such a nightmare possible in the heart of western civilization.
Baila Sebrow, producer and host of The Definitive Rap sat
down with Professor Dan McMillan to find out the answer.
Professor McMillan holds a Ph.D. in German history from Columbia University and a law degree from Fordham University. He has worked as a history professor, and prosecuting attorney. Professor McMillan had a strong need to understand the Holocaust and it has shaped his life since he was 14 years of age when he first read about the tragedy, and he became fluent in German. The professor published a book HOW COULD THIS HAPPEN that explains the Holocaust.
He explained that the Nazis did not consider their actions as murder, and shared as he did in his book about a commanding officer of two death camps who referred to his work as human relations! The professor discussed how some of the Nazis related to their prisoner Jews, how they turned some into their assistants - to help with their killings.
This was a Genocide like no other, and Professor McMillan talked about how Hitler and his bizarre and obsessive hatred for Jews caused such atrocities that were carried out by seemingly educated and sophisticated people, and how he went from becoming der Fuhrer, the leader to a dictator, and to a mythic figure by millions of people who were so devoted to him.
May the memories of all who perished be a blessing, and NEVER AGAIN!
Decades have passed since World War II, but the memories
are being kept alive. The stories of the atrocities of the Holocaust
and what people endured still emerge. The actual accounts, and the novels that are based on facts.
Baila Sebrow, producer and host of The Definitive Rap interviewed author Tara Ison who wrote At the Hour Between Dog and Wolf.
At The Hour Between Dog and Wolf is the story of a twelve-year-old Parisian Jewish girl in World War II France, living “in hiding” as a
Catholic orphan with a family in a small village. When Danielle Marton’s father is killed during the early days of the German Occupation, her mother sends her to live in a quiet farming town near Limoges in Vichy France. Now called Marie-Jean Chantier, Danielle struggles to balance the truth of what’s happened to her family and her country with the lies she must tell to keep herself safe. At first, she’s bitter about being left behind by her mother, and horrified at having to milk the cow and memorize Catholic prayers for church. But as the years pass and the Occupation worsens, Danielle finds it easier to suppress her former life
entirely, and Marie-Jean becomes less and less of an act. By the time she’s fifteen and there is talk amongst the now divided town of an Allied invasion, not only has Danielle lost the memories of her father’s face and the smell of her mother’s perfume, but her very self, transforming into a devout Catholic—and an anti-semitic, fervent disciple of fascism.
During the interview Tara talked about her personal life and how she came up with the idea for this story, why the story is set in WWII France, as opposed to another occupied country.
Tara described the interesting research she did to write this book, and about the characters, particularly how Marie-Jeanne turns into an antisemitic fascist.

Frum lobbyist Ezra Friedlander, founder of the Friedlander Group, made headlines this week after tweeting photos of himself speaking with two controversial Islamic congress members, Ilhan Omar and Rashida Tlaib.
Now he has spoken out, defending his encounter, and clarifying multiple misconceptions made by critics about his tweet and its true intent.
Many criticized Friedlander for communicating with the socialist BDS supporters who have a track record of making vicious antisemitic statements.Friedlander defended his encounter on the VIN Podcast, and insisted that he would do it again . He also was surprisingly accepting of the criticism and backlash he received.
Friedlander said, “That is the life I chose. I have learned that in the public square people will criticize, no skin off my back.”
In reference to his encounter and subsequent tweet implying that he wants to build a relationship, Ezra defended himself, saying, “I never said I wanted to develop a relationship, I said I laid the foundation for possible communication down the road.”
He added, “If you read my tweet, I did not set out on a mission to establish a relationship with Omar or Tlaib, that was not my intention, it is not my goal. I am a lobbyist who spends a considerable amount of time in Washington. I was invited to meet with Congressman Andre Carson, I was told he was going to be at an Iftar, and the person arranging the meeting asked me if I wanted to join at the Iftar, she brought me as a guest.”
“I asked her who was coming to the event, she said that there would be staffers as well as Muslim congress people, including Tlaib and Omar. I did not wake up and say I’m going to have a relationship with these 2 people. I walked into the room, it was not a big crowd, 50-60 people, they were walking around and I introduced myself.”
He continued, “It wasn’t a meeting, I said to myself and I believe it was the right thing to do, my objective is always to meet people and develop relationships with members of congress as a lobbyist.”
“There was an opportunity that presented itself, I introduced myself, I said there are obviously a lot of areas where I disagree with you, but you do have a powerful voice. I said that for a reason. Words matter.”
Friedlander also noted that he is not an askan or someone who represents a Jewish organization, rather a private businessman. “I’m not responsible for the entire Jewish community, I am my own person representing myself and my clients”
Asked about the squad members’ track record of anti-Jewish comments, he said,“It is obvious they have both made statements that are beyond the pale…it is inexcusable.”
He was asked if he thinks they are antisemites.
“The word antisemite means I hate you because you are a Jew. I don’t think they see a Jew and hate them. Most people have a certain level of prejudice…it is natural…when you use the word antisemite it is a very strong word and we use it so liberally…we have to be very careful how we use that word.”

Is it 'American' for the government to shut down schools, businesses and houses of worship during a pandemic? Is it 'American' for the government to dictate to parents what they should teach their children? Are Republicans too nice to win the culture wars? Should Jews send their kids to Hilldale College? Should they take a second look at Pat Buchanan?
These are just some of the questions addressed by Professor David Azerrad, an idealistic and clear-eyed thinker who was recently featured on Tucker Carlson's hour-long interview program.
This week, the founders of ‘Red Sea Singles’ joined Yaakov M to discuss their exciting new shidduch program.
Zach and Eli, two single young men, launched this initiative to encourage kosher hotels to host shidduch-aged boys for free, if they agree to date girls staying at the hotel.
The program’s website gives the following mission statement: Red Sea Singles was founded with a single mission in mind. To help single shidduch-ages girls meet great guys in the casual, no-pressure setting Pesach retreats.”
Zach and Eli came up with the idea initially because they had no plans for Pesach. Both recently transitioned from yeshiva to the business world and took an entrepreneurial course, helping them focus on how to solve problems in creative ways. As they were brainstorming about Pesach plans, it occurred to them that bringing single boys to a kosher hotel would be a great way to help girls find their match, which could have huge repercussions for girls struggling to find a shidduch.
The two men recognized this could be a valuable strategy, enabling girls who would otherwise have difficulty finding dates to get onto the radar of eligible boys.
In addition, Eli and Zach envision Red Sea Singles as having the potential to help other girls who are struggling. They hope to expand their program to help out-of-town communities attract single boys to spend Shabbos, if they agree to date local girls while they are there.
In this interview, the two founders responded to claims made by a letter-writer to a news website, who felt this initiative is just a gimmick designed to exploit the Shidduch crisis for personal gain.
It's hard to see how moral claims can be made without reference to God. But can they be made without reference to divine revelation? Surprisingly, some of the greatest thinkers in Jewish history – the Rambam, Ramban, Ran, and others – say they can.

Baila Sebrow, Producer and Host of The Definitive Rap Show sat down with Dov Hikind, an Orthodox Jew, American politician, activist, and radio talk show host. Dov is a former Democratic New York State Assemblyman representing Brooklyn's Assembly district 48, having held this position for 35 years – from January 1983 until December 2018. He is the Founder of Americans Against Antisemitism. Americans Against
Antisemitism is a grassroots coalition that mobilizes supporters to take social action against anti-Semites.
Dov discussed what happened to the Jewish staffer victim with regard to antisemitic working conditions, when it was reported, and ultimately how it came be that the victim was actually vindicated?
He was happy to report that the perpetrator of Fima Zlatsin, the Jewish victim of an unprovoked attack on a New York City subway this past summer was found and arrested.
Also discussed was about the many recent Arab terror attacks in Israel, and that we have now seen a move where Hungary will be the first European country to establish its embassy in Jerusalem.
Dov shared his opinion about New York City Mayor Eric Adams who is not a believer in the “separation of church and state has achieved new fans, particularly Orthodox Jews and Evangelical Christians because he ripped removal of school prayers.

If you think your job is tough, today’s episode will leave you
shocked. Baila Sebrow, producer and host of The Definitive Rap Show sat down with American TV producer Natasha Lance Rogoff to discuss her memoir, Muppets in Moscow: The Unexpected Crazy True Story of Making Sesame Street in Russia, which Rowman & Littlefield published recently. It chronicles Natasha’s experience producing a Russian version of Sesame Street in post-Soviet Union Russia.
In the process, Natasha, who is Jewish, and her colleagues faced the assassinations of their broadcast partners, a car bombing, and the takeover of the show’s production office by Russian soldiers with AK47s.
The book captures the occurrences of a disagreement creating a fun, educational children’s television show against the violent backdrop of 1990s Moscow. It also relays the cultural clashes that threatened to derail Natasha’s efforts to bring the Muppets and their idealistic values to millions of children across the former Soviet empire, including Ukraine. As one of the people on Natasha’s team put it, “You are tasking us with developing this curriculum to help kids learn the skills they need for an open society, but how can we do it if we haven’t lived in an open society?”
The show is off the air now, but its legacy—the Ulitsa Sezam (Sesame Street) generation—remains. We see it in the Russians walking out of Russia because they oppose Putin’s war and do not want to fight, and we see it on the Ukrainian side—the same age cohort, fighting for their freedom.
Since its release, the book has been covered in The Wall Street Journal, The Guardian, Vulture, and on MSNBC’s “Morning Joe,” among others.
Natasha Lance Rogoff is an award-winning American television producer, filmmaker, and journalist who has produced television news and documentaries in Russia, Ukraine, and the former Soviet Union for CBS, NBC, ABC, and PBS. Lance Rogoff executive produced Ulitsa Sezam, the Russian adaptation of Sesame Street, between 1993 and 1997. She also produced Plaza Sesamo in Mexico. In addition to her television work, Lance Rogoff has reported on Soviet underground culture as a documentary
director and magazine and newspaper writer for major international media outlets.
Today, Lance Rogoff produces content for television and digital platforms and is the CEO and founder of an ed-tech company. An associate fellow in Harvard University’s Art, Film, and Visual Studies department, she divides her time between Cambridge, MA and New York City.
Natasha talked about what she envisioned for this production before things went crazy, and why she chose to produce a Sesame Street type of show.

In this exciting and informative episode, Yaakov M discusses the latest Yated Chinuch Rountable question-- should parents choose a High School with strong acedemics and a better reputation, or one where the girls' friends are going?
This topic raises so many fundemental questions. Should our focus ever be on academics? Should it be on friends and social skills?
What about middos and hashkafa? Should which place will look best on a shidduch resume play a role in the decision?
One thing is pretty certain--the most important thing is our childrens' happiness and emotional health
If a child is a shomer Torah U'Mitzvos, the number one priority needs to be your child's happiness.
This may seem obvious, but sometimes it gets lost in the weeds.
However with that said, there are many factors that can impact a child's happiness. Listen to this thought-provoking episode for Yaakov's full analysis and breakdown of the panelists' responses and suggestions.
Many people are hailing Biden – the very same Biden who hid in his basement for two years – as 'brave' for visiting Ukraine as the one-year anniversary of the war approaches. Is he? Some more questions: Is Putin really targeting innocent civilians? Why exactly is the U.S. financing this war? Does the West share any blame for the destruction of Ukraine?
At a Torah Umesorah conference in December, Donald Trump delivered a speech in which – for 25 minutes – he quoted, commented, and elaborated on an article written by Rabbi Dov Fischer. A former law professor and head of the JDL, Rabbi Fischer currently heads the Young Israel of Orange County and serves as senior contributing editor at The American Spectator. He joins Elliot Resnick to discuss his relationship with Rabbi Meir Kahane, his views on Trump's controversial dinner with Kanye, and his prescription for living a principled life.
Ever wonder why the first tablet of the Ten Commandments begins with a mitzvah of the mind and ends with a mitzvah of action while the second tablet does the very opposite? Rav Samson Raphael Hirsch (1808-1888) offers an intriguing explanation.

One after another, traditional standards are being swept aside. What was considered inconceivable 10 years ago is regarded as normal by children today. And that doesn't bode well for the future...
Ann Coulter confronts some of the most controversial comments she's ever made: Does she support secession? Does she really want to bar women from voting? What does she have against psychology? Why did she say Christians are perfected Jews? Does she still believe the solution to Arab terror is to 'invade their countries, kill their leaders, and convert them to Christianity'?
R Menken is Managing Director of the Coalition for Jewish Values, frequent contributor to Newsmax TV, and an outspoken leader against the radical left’s incitement of antisemitism.
Is the Arab terrorist alone to be blamed for the deaths of the seven Jews on Friday? If you let a child molester sleep in your home, should you be surprised if you wake up to discover that your child is molested? And if, after your child was molested, you're crazy enough to continue to let the molester sleep in your home, who's really to blame if your child is molested again – you or the molester?
EXCLUSIVE Talkline with Zev Brenner with Criminal Defense Attorney Avi Moskowitz on his client, a Brooklyn Charedi Man arrested for child abduction. Also discussed, can a Chassidic person get a fair trial in the criminal justice system
In this exclusive VIN Podcast interview, Rav Aaron Lankry goes through the timeline of events on Thursday, when an alarmed mother called the police to report what she believed was an attempted abduction. This was followed by hours of mayhem, during which the police arrested and charged an innocent man with kidnapping, before video footage was released which fully exonerates the accused man.
Rabbi Lanky explains how he obtained the video footage which proved the man is innocent. He explains how he worked with the NYPD and lawyers to assist the man and get him released from custody as quickly as possible.
And he explains why our society has become extremely sensitive to potential abuse, and how people should avoid being falsely accused.
Rabbi Ben Zion Shafier, author of The 10 Really Dumb Mistakes That Very Smart Couples Make, discusses the harms in trying to change your spouse, the very different emotional needs of men and women, and a piece of marriage advice once offered by Donald Trump.
Dr. Avi Federgruen debunks the so-called 'study' used by NY State to justify secular restrictions against yeshivas, he says it does not even qualify as a study.
It is 80 years since the Holocaust began. The lessons we have
learned in history is that we cannot forget what has happened. We cannot forget because of the victims, their persecutions and horrible deaths. We cannot forget because of the survivors, who witnessed and lost so much, and we cannot forget because Jews, and other victims were targeted for annihilation. And if we don’t remember, if we choose to forget – it can happen again.
The United Nations has designated Holocaust Remembrance Day to be on January 27th, the anniversary of the liberation of Auschwitz – Birkenau.
In tribute to Holocaust Remembrance Day, Dr. Moshe Katz, a survivor of the Holocaust agreed to tell his story during an interview with Baila Sebrow, producer and host of The Definitive Rap.

The interview concluded with a blessing for the audience, as it is said that a person who survived the Holocaust has the power to give blessings to others.
WE WILL NEVER FORGET. We will always keep the memory of the 6 million and plus alive. As Elie Wiesel
said, “To forget the dead would be akin to killing them a second time.”

Modern-day nations – Israel chief among them – avoid harming 'innocent civilians.' But do such people exist? If they did, why did G-d punish the Egyptians as a collective? After all, the plagues affected every Egyptian, not just the guilty. Indeed, the Plague of the Firstborn even affected foreign captives in Egyptian jails according to the Midrash!

Republican Congressman George Santos fabricated almost everything about his life. He lied about being a Jew, lied about his grandparents being in the Holocaust, lied about his career and falsely claimed that his mother's death was linked to 9/11.
He is a disgrace, but he should not be removed from Congress, except by voters.
PLUS: Why the FBI decided NOT to inspect Biden's home for classified documents. The government has reached the debt ceiling. Will the Republicans force Biden to cut spending, before they agree to increase the debt limit?
The city of San Francisco wants to give blacks $5 million EACH.
We've heard it 1,000 times: Cops disproportionately shoot black Americans. But what if there's a simple – and benign – explanation for this fact? Heather Mac Donald, a crime expert and the bestselling author of such books as The War on Copsand The Burden of Bad Ideas, argues that such an explanation in fact exists and discusses the shocking statistics on crime that the media never report.
'It's not our place to impose Torah values on American society.' This often-voiced argument is based on ignorance of American history. America was built on Torah values (which explains why adultery is illegal in 16 U.S. states). All we're doing is trying to preserve it. It's the secular left – not the religious right – that imposes its values on the rest of America.
With social media opening the eyes to the world about
issues that were previously unknown to others, it has been normalized to those who in the past used to suffer silently. One of those issues is abuse. That word is now not just an issue of human interest, but it has become politicized too. Abuse of all types has also evolved into sociopolitical attitudes.
Regardless of what anyone says, and regardless of who the victim is…Abuse has a powerful effect on the victim, not just while the abuse is going on, but even after the perpetrator is no longer in the victim’s life. When an individual is abused, life does not go back to normal for the victim. Every aspect of what the victim will be doing or choosing to do after the abuse is over will be influenced by what she or he has endured.
Baila Sebrow producer and host of The Definitive Rap Show sat down with Esther Goldstein, a licensed clinical trauma specialist who holds a passion for helping others find and achieve true healing to discuss types of abusive situations; domestic abuse, child abuse, abuse of power in various situations, assaults, etc.
Esther talked about abuse prevalent in society today, the symptoms a person exhibits while in the midst of abuse, and the type of symptoms one would see in a person after the abuse has ended.
She explained the treatment a victim of abuse would need in order to heal.

There are billions of people living on this earth. Let’s
imagine what the world would look like if everyone would just love and respect one another. But, that can’t seem to be accomplished. We have racism. We have antisemitism. And we have the media supporting it. We have high profile celebrities supporting it. From MSNBC’s Medhi Hasan who held a panel with Anti-Zionist MSNBC commentator Peter Beinart where Peter accused Israel of being an ethnostate that privileges Jews over Palestine to Kanye West, spreading hate. Not only is the issue of antisemitism not getting better, but it is getting worse.
Baila Sebrow producer and host of The Definitive Rap interviewed Professor Jeffrey Lax, an attorney, professor and department chair at CUNY, who discussed this issue at great length.
Jeffrey agreed that it’s beginning to feel like antisemites are trying to beat each other out on the title of “Antisemite of the Year, and how it has been normalized, and mainstreamed.
He talked about the ring leaders of antisemitism in the United States, and who is tolerating the Left.
He said that CNN is being criticized for covering up the rise of
antisemitism, while whitewashing left-wing antisemitism and anti-Jewish attacks by other minority groups, and why they are getting away with it.
Jeffrey openly discussed how as professor at a public
university, he is being treated by his non Jewish superiors and other colleagues, and what it’s like for others Jewish professors and
students.
The interview concluded with Jeffrey criticizing a group that is supposed to be fighting antisemitism, saying that they are more concerned about politics.

The White House version of the 'Garage-gate' scandal is filled with lies, glaring omissions, and contradictions.
Why were Biden's lawyers cleaning out a closet if they were unaware about classified documents being stored? Shouldn't it have been a cleaning crew? Or did they in fact know there were secret docs hidden?
Why does the WH keep lying about the number of documents found? What information was in the documents?
How were they still finding MORE documents in the garage this past week, several months after the initial discovery? How long does it take to search one garage?
In addition, the Penn Biden office where the initial batch was found, opened in 2018--one year AFTER Biden left his job as VP. Where were the documents during that year?
In addition, Hunter Biden, who is compromised by China, had full access to the documents in Biden's home and garage.
Why are Biden's personal lawyerss going throgh these documents, and not FBI or DOJ????
Why do they they get to use honor systen, after Trump was treated like a spy?
How can anyone believe that Biden was unaware of so many sets of classified documents in MULTIPLE locations, some of which were labeled TOP SECRET in red lettering?
In addition, who leaked all this to the media and why?
Even CNN has thrown Biden under the bus, saying that the White House has misled the public and gave the impression they have something to hide.
It's one thing when ordinary academics slam Israel. It's another when those academics are ostensibly experts on 'Jewish Studies.' Frustrated by these Israel haters, Prof. Adam Fuller, a professor at Youngstown State University, helped start the Jewish Studies Zionist Network this past summer.

More on Trump's tax returns. Is the lottery a government scheme to hurt poor people?
Gavin Wax – president of the prestigious New York Young Republican Club – has had enough of right-wing fecklessness. He wants a fearless Republican party and argues that we won't have one if Kevin McCarthy becomes Speaker of the House. How will the ongoing congressional showdown play out? Wax offers his prediction.
Democrats are furious that Trump's tax returns are clean. Sure, he uses a lot of loopholes, but he has not committed tax fraud or tax evasion, which is very disappointing to the left. Yet still, some radicals are calling for Trump to be indicted, despite not committing any crimes.

Some frum Jews dismiss the transgender movement as not relevant to their lives. But, as Pericles said 2,500 years ago, 'Just because you do not take an interest in politics doesn’t mean politics won’t take an interest in you.' A scandal in a religious school in Givat Shmuel is proving Pericles right.
We are post the Jewish holiday of Chanukah where the heroine in the historic victory of the saga schemed to take on Holofernes. How apropos to this show about a woman who was a Zionist pioneer, spy, and patriot, a Joan of Arc type of martyr and heroine.
Baila Sebrow producer and host of The Definitive Rap show sat down with Israeli correspondent Barry Shaw who wrote a book about the dramatic life of the Sarah Aaronsohn in this historical novel and her passion to go after Israel’s enemies. The book is titled A Tale of Love and Destiny and follows a remarkable young woman through a failed marriage into the turmoil of war, heroism and espionage. The story is based in what was then called Palestine during World War One, and how the dedication and
courage of Sarah helped pave the way for the creation of the Jewish State.
Barry discussed what motivated him to write the story about Sarah Aaronsohn. Though the facts are true, this is a novel. He gave the behind the scenes background of this novel from his perspective.
Barry, talked in great detail about who Sarah Aaronsohn was as a person before she became a heroine, how it all came to be, and what her life was like. He described it all by the full glimpse into that part of her life.
Barry fascinates people by the information he exposes about Israel, that some may otherwise not be aware of. And that is what he always does. He reveals what the mainstream media hides or pretends does not exist.
It’s been two years since Covid-19 was declared a global pandemic,
and it has changed the world. It has changed the way we communicate, care for others, how we raise and educate children, the economy, medicine, employments, and beyond. Over the past two years, the world has seen such a shift in behavior that it changed society. But, is it possible that the public has been misled, or has the public been failed during the height of the pandemic, and if so, who will be held accountable?
Baila Sebrow from The Definitive Rap Show sat down with Jonathan Tobin editor-in-chief of JNS, a senior contributor for The Federalist and a columnist for the New York Post, Newsweek and Haaretz to talk about how the public was failed during the
pandemic, and what sort of damage was done as a result of the failures of the public health bureaucracy, and that likely no one will be held accountable.
Jonathan said that the states that didn’t have strict lockdowns, fared better against Covid in certain respects.
He discussed how antisemitism has always been around, but it seems that as of late, especially since the pandemic it has increased. Not only that, but in addition to the rise of antisemitism, Israel is getting more and more demonized, and the views of liberal Jews on this issue.
Jonathan referred to his article in JNS about the Palestinians’ World Cup propaganda victory, and it’s political affect.
There are lots of authors out there who write fictional stories. There are good books, and then there are books that not only do they talk to you, but when you close that book after you are done reading you are left with a passion and desire for justice, and doing what is right and just, not only for the characters in the book, but for society.
Baila Sebrow from The Definitive Rap Show sat down with the the celebrated award-winning novelist, journalist and playwright, Naomi Ragen. Her first book, Jephte’s Daughter was listed among the one-hundred most important Jewish books of all time. Her best selling novels include Sotah, The Covenant, The Sisters Weiss, Devil in Jerusalem, and others.
Naomi is an outspoken advocate for women’s rights, and active warrior against anti-Israel and anti-Semitic propaganda, and has lived in Jerusalem since 1971.
Naomi spoke about a recurring theme in her books regarding injustice against women, and she went into detail why it inspires her to do that. She discussed the books she wrote, including Jephte’s Daughter, and also Sotah, and The Sacrifice of Tamar, where she bravely brings topics to the forefront that are taboo in the Orthodox Jewish community, and what encouraged her to go down that lane on those subjects.
Naomi’s book The Devil in Jerusalem is a gripping story of obsession and child abuse within a Charedi community, where she tackled that issue.
Naomi mentioned how certain publishing houses change the wording of their Bible’s translation to fit in with their religious beliefs.
The interview concluded with her latest book and sequel, and Naomi shared which book has had the most emotional impact on her.

Lechi was an underground movement committed to expelling the British from the Promised Land in the 1940s. But it was also much more than that. It wanted a Jewish state from the Nile to the Euphrates and a Beis HaMikdash at its center. And it was unyielding. When Ben-Gurion shot at the Altalena, for example, Menachem Begin backed down; Lechi wanted to fight back. In this interview, Zev Golan, translator of the memoirs of one of Lechi's leaders, discusses this fascinating group.
Senator Rand Paul has released his yearly report listing all the billions being wasted by the government.
Some examples:
$1.1 million to study drunk mice
$200K to purchase Starbucks espresso machines for the Pentagon (at least the military will be perky)
$3M Injecting hamsters with steroids and watching them fight
2.3 M to Injecting beagles with cocaine
$475 BILLION in interest payments on the national debt
$118K to study whether the movie villain Thanos can snap his fingers while wearing a metal gauntlet
$168 million to help illegals avoid deportation
You cannot make this stuff up.
PLUS: Victims of terror attacks and their families are suing Joe Biden, who broke the law by sending billions in funding to Palestinian terrorists. Texas Governor Jim Abbott sends busloads of illegals to the home of VP Kamala Harris, to prevent them from dying of hypothermia
Congress is set to pass a massive spending package. The bill has 4,100 pages, yet members were given less than a day to read it before voting.
What is in the bill? Lots of waste, including millions to rescue salmon. Also--border security funding...for the MIDDLE EAST! You cannot make this stuff up.
PLUS: FBI calls the Musk Twitter files a conspiracy theory.

Josh Hammer, 33, is a conservative – and somehow also the opinion editor of Newsweek, one of the most famous and venerable news magazines in the country. Why would a liberal publication hire a conservative for such a sensitive position? Hammer discusses this question and much more (e.g., his Jewish journey, the perniciousness of the ADL, getting G-d back in the public schools) in this interview.
Kevin McCarthy and the Republican establishment killed Rep. Steve King's career. His crime? Ostensibly making racist comments. But these allegations were obviously bogus. His real crime was defending Western civilization. In this interview, King recalls the series of events that led to his defeat in 2020 and discusses what we can do to save the West from internal decay.
Elon Musk tweeted that his preferred pronouns are 'Prosecute / Fauci', setting off a firestorm in the mainstream media. Some defended Fauci and praised his 'public service', to which Musk replied that 'Fauci funded research that led to millions of deaths and lied to Congress.'
PLUS: Hunter Biden artwork continues to sell for astronomical sums, over $200K. Either he is the next Picasso, or people are buying influence with the Biden crime family.
More details from the Twitter Files: Why the Hunter Biden laptop was censored. Shadow banning of conervatives is not a conpsiracy theory, Trump and others were banned even though they did not violate Twitter policies. The FBI colluded with Twitter to censor conservatives.
Perhaps no one has done more to show the utter futility of mask and lockdown policies than Ian Miller. Author of 'Unmasked, The Gloal Failure of Covid Mask Mandates,' Miller joins Elliot Resnick to discuss why the medical establishment told people to wear masks when years of pre-Covid research indicated that masks don't work; why surgeons wear masks; and what he learned from Florida and Sweden's response to the pandemic.
PLUS: In a bombshell new book 'The Truth About Wuhan', an American researcher claims that Covid leaked from a lab, and was covered up by Dr Fauci.
Dr. Andrew Huff was involved with virus research in the Wuhan lab, working for EcoHealth alliance, which received millions from Dr Fauci and passed it along to China
Dr. Yosef Sokol and a team of researchers have published a study about marriage trends in the frum community. If his data is correct, it would have major repercussions about how to define the Shidduch Crisis, as well as how to solve it.
Some people have questioned the results, methodology, and conclusion of Dr. Sokol and his team.
In this exclusive interview on the VIN Podcast, Dr Sokol addressed the following questions:
How is it possible that the vast majority of Charedi girls eventually get married, when that contradicts the perception of so many people?
How does his data change the definition of the shidduch crisis?
What is the real cause of the crisis (in his opinion)?
Why did he use “self-identification” to determine whether respondents are Charedi, rather than using objective criteria?
Why did he choose the term “yeshiva orthodox”, rather than Charedi or yeshivish other terms?
How can he be certain that his study reached all segments of the frum community, including Lakewood?
How many respondents were there from each community (eg Lakewood, Brooklyn, Five Towns, Monsey, Teaneck, etc)
Does he have Rabbinic support?
How can we solve the shidduch crisis, according to his research?
Dr. Sokol is an assistant professor at Touro, a licensed psychologist, and a Musmach of Yeshiva Bais Yosef in Brooklyn.

Terry Schilling heads an organization that fights for perhaps the most disenfranchised group in this country: the American family. Hardly any normal American mother or father wants schools, for example, to promote transgenderism of for Internet pornography to be accessible to children. Yet, politicians -- both Democrat and Republican -- largely ignore these basic family issues. Schilling, a father of six, aims to change that.
People tend to know much about what they are familiar with, and
unless something happens to hit the media, or a book written about it, little to perhaps nothing is known about the topic.
In the U.S., up until the early 1980’s when it was all over the media, as they were being airlifted to Israel and even today, there are people who do not know that there are Jews in Ethiopia, and even that there are practicing Jews. When people ask where Ethiopian Jews originate from, there are theories that believe Ethiopian Jews come from Shevet Dan; Dan who was one of the 12 sons of our forefather, Yaakov Avinu. Some believe that they even come from the lost tribe of Dan. We are going to get a clear account today, and everything that you wanted to know about
Ethiopian Jews will be answered today.

Holidays can be wonderful when spent with loved ones, and holidays can sometimes unfortunately be contentious too, when families are at odds with one another. Today’s show deals with when married couples are at odds with each other and they get divorced. We know that when couples are walking down the aisle to get married, they are not contemplating divorce at that moment. Nobody, or at least we want to believe that nobody gets married with the intention to get divorced. But, in life things happen. Divorce happens. And when there are children, it makes it that more tragic. They are the innocent parties, and yet they suffer the most being the product of a fractured family.
Baila Sebrow from The Definitive Rap Show sat down with Jacob Rubinstein, Esq. to discuss the increase in divorces today, including middle-aged divorces.
Jacob talked about custody cases, and when the mother chances to lose custody of her child or children. Also discussed were issues relating to Parental Alienation, and how the courts deal with it, as well as the affects that Covid had on the divorce rate.
.President Trump had dinner with two vicious antisemites, Kanye West and Nick Fuentes. This was inexcusable. With that said, it does not change the fact that Trump was the most supportive president for the Jews and Israel in decades, probably EVER.
Trump moved the Israel embassy, pardoned Shalom Rubashkin, brokered the Abraham Accords, defunded the Palestinians, and redefined antisemitism. Trump is a friend of the Jews.

He discussed the recent comments made by Kanye West. He also explained why there has been a surge in antisemitism, addressed Ben Shapiro’s role as a mainstream orthodox media figure, explained why his organization is so crucial for the frum community to combat leftist Jews who are hurting our cause, and much more.
When asked if Kanye’s hatred is just a fringe belief, Rabbi Menken said: “They are for sure not just fringe beliefs, there’s a large segment…when the Monsey machete attacker and the Jersey City gunman and 95% of the random violence…in Brooklyn is coming from that community, it is obvious that there is incitement going on within that community.”
He added, “It’s not as if what Kanye has to say is radically different than Farrakhan and Ilhan Omar.”

Yochonon Donn's full analysis of the election results, the biggest takeaways, and how the frum community will be impacted
In this powerful interview, Lee Zeldin describes his deep connection with the orthodox Jewish community, which began decades ago with his great-grandfather, an Orthodox Rabbi.
He defends yeshiva education and blasts those who are waging a war against the yeshivas. He also discusses antisemitism, high crime, and Kathy Hochul's disastrous record.
Mr. Zeldin blasted Governor Hochul’s failed policies, as well as her throwing the orthodox Jewish community under the bus. He reaffirmed his staunch support of yeshiva education as well as his strong partnership with the orthodox and Chassidic communities.
Regarding the unprecedented support he has received from virtually every segment of the frum community, Zeldin said, “Albany declared a war on yeshiva education, we are seeing higher antisemitism on the streets. And the orthodox community has decided ‘Enough’-- we are not going to take it.”
He continued, “I can't wait to continue this partnership [with orthodox Jews] which started before I was even born. My great-grandfather was an orthodox rabbi in brooklyn, the “Frierdike Rebbe” (Rav Yosef Yitzchak Schneersohn of Chabad) sent him a letter in the 1930’s thanking him for his efforts fighting for yeshiva education. My mother was a fourth grade yeshiva teacher, I will be honored to serve as the first republican Jewish governor of New York…I look forward to championing the story of yeshiva education.”
He said, “Kathy Hochul has failed, she said it was getting too hot so she preferred not to comment [on yeshivas], she said this is not within the governor’s purview…I look forward on day one to doing absolutely everything in my power to work with the orthodox jewish community, the Chassidic community…”
“She [Hochul] says our efforts fighting crime is a conspiracy, and that we are ‘data deniers’. She went to CNN and continued that line, but she did not realize that on CNN it was a split-screen, the other half of the screen showing different categories of crime going up, and then she digs the hole even deeper, she goes on MSNBC and the host cuts her off and says ‘people don’t feel safe, I don’t ride the subway, when I go to a pharmacy everything is locked up…’”
In this exclusive interview with Yaakov M, Elliot explains why President Trump has been such a powerful, transformative, and disruptive figure in politics,
He describes all the ways Trump has impacted the Jews, and the complex yet highly beneficial connection that has been forged.
He also points out that while people get insulted by Trump's crass style, the values he represents are much more aligned with frum Jews than most other politicians.
As the midterms draw near, the question is not IF there will be a red wave, but how massive the wave will be. Will the Republicans pick up 55 Senate seats (or more)? Will Zeldin upset Hochul?
The NYT and other media outlets are relentlessly focused on Kanye. Yet they ignore BDS supporters like Ilhan Omar, AOC, and antisemites like Sharpton and Farrakhan. Why the bogus double standard?
Steve Bannon is going to jail for not testifying before Congress. Yet mo Democrat has ever gone to jail for this offense. Ilhan Omar spends tens of thousands in campaign funds on private security, while telling us to defund the police. The new Democrat strategy to avoid a bloodbath in the midterms is to claim that high crime a Republican hoax. President Biden tapping into oil reserves is a selfish move which helps him politically (maybe) but throws the country under the bus.

Aliyah. Baila Sebrow sat down with guest of the show, Lisa Berlowitz who together with her husband is making Aliyah, and we will hear about
from her perspective about her experience with the process, particularly because both she and her husband are disabled.

They decided to pursue that dream together, and will B’EH be moving to Nahariya before the chagim this year.

From the days of Miriam, the sister of Moshe Rabbeinu who was born during the Egyptian exile, to after the Exodus, women such as Rachav, Ruth, Yael, and of course Queen Esther, and then Yehudis of the
Maccabean period to the present time, there have existed courageous women that have been outstanding figures in history to the extent that these Nashim Tzidkaniyos, these holy women of their era have saved the Jewish nation. Little is known about many others, because with time Jewish women were taught that whatever they do must be done in a quiet manner of tzenuah. Unseen and unheard. Boldness was no longer in vogue for a Jewish woman. And those who did oftentimes received criticism.

Baila Sebrow from The Definitive Rap sat down with the Orthodox Jewish subway victim Fima Zlatsin and the legendary Dov Hikind, Founder of Americans Against Antisemitism for an exclusive interview. Fima was traveling on the New York City subway, and in an unprovoked attack was punched in the face by an African American man in his 20’s leaving him covered in blood. What causes this attackto be such an outcry in the Jewish community is that after Fima was punched,and the attacker left the subway car, he said “If I had a gun, I would shoot you. If all this was not bad enough, why was this story not covered in mainstream media?
Fima tells in his own words about that violent attack, and Dov explains how Fima’s attack happened just hours after Americans Against Antisemitism released its’ report stating that NYC DA’s are derelict intheir duty to prosecute violent criminals, and that violence is increasing.Antisemitism is increasing.

Americans are obsessed with thinness, yet statistically two thirds of Americans are overweight. The obsession goes so far that there are women who will buy clothes a few sizes too small, on the perchance that they will lose weight to fit into them, or as an incentive to lose weight.
Yet, for those who need to lose weight, the struggle is sometimes lifelong. Our guest Lisa R.

We cannot keep our heads in the sand, even if it’s a controversial
issue, and we therefore need to address those issues that are at hand and bring them to the forefront. When there are concerns that go against the typical way of lifestyle happen in the United States, it is not just accepted, but celebrated. But, when such ways happen in Israel, it is cause for shock. However, it usually takes a while for it to reach Israel. In fact, it is said that everything that happens in the United States comes to Israel 20 years later. And yet, in a Herzliya elementary school, a child that was born a male is known as a girl. The subject of transgender children has reached Israel, and people are shocked, to say the least. Elad Zadikov. Former deputy mayor of Herzliya is outraged,
and called it insane. Our guest, Tamar Uriel-Beeri managing editor of The Jerusalem Post's website, JPost.com. covered this story, in The Jerusalem Post.

It’s always fascinating to meet true academics with varied interests of the world at large.

The Definitive Rap was established to unapologetically bring the truth to the forefront – to the surface. Whether it’s about politicsor human interest, The Definitive Rap reports the bitter truth with zero sugar-coating. Our topic today is Get Refusal. What does that mean? A Get is a dated and witnessed document written in Aramaic where the husband states that he is divorcing his wife and severing all ties with her. This document is then placed in her hands. In order for a woman to remarry, or just move on with her life, this document is critical. A woman cannot remarry without a Get. If her husband refuses to grant her the Get shebecomes an Agunah, a 'chained woman,' because she is stuck in limbo, and cannot move forward in life. Civil courts in the United States are recognizing that refusing to give a divorce is abuse. But, thank G-d there is an organization that addresses the Agunah crisis. That organization is called ORA. With us today to talk about this worldwide crisis and what ORA does is Keshet Starr, Esq. She is the CEO of the Organization for the Resolution of Agunot (ORA), the nonprofit organization addressing the Agunah (Jewishdivorce refusal) crisis on a case-by-case basis worldwide. At ORA, Keshet oversees advocacy and early intervention initiativesdesigned to assist individuals seeking a Jewish divorce, along withprevention initiatives to eliminate abuse from the Jewish divorce process. Keshet has written for various outlets, and frequently presents on issues related to Jewish divorce, domestic abuse,and the intersection between civil and religious divorce processes.
Keshet helped our audience understand the plight of someone who wants out of a marriage, and whose spouse is refusing to let them go, and what ORA does to rectify this crisis with regard to methods, and she explained the point duringthe separation period of a marriage as to when an individual is considered a Get Refuser, and when ORA steps in.
Keshet eloquently described the typical charming profile of a Get Refuser, and how no one will admit to being a Get Refuser. They will state various lines to tug at the heartstrings in an attempt to come across as the victim in explaining why they are not giving the Get.
Keshet warned that Get Refusers are abusers, and it continues when they get into future relationships and marriages, along with recognizing the red flags in a dating relationship, and that, in her opinion, it is not safe to date a person who had previously withheld a Get from his wife.
Keshet stated that although there are men who are considered Aguns, the statistics are dramatically higher for a woman to be an Agunah.

History was made when the Supreme Court overturned Roe vs. Wade, the landmark ruling that established the constitutional right to abortion since 1973. Which now means that abortion rights will be rolled back in nearly half of all states giving individual states the power to set their own abortion laws. And the rallies and headlines by abortion-rights activists has been ongoing. From their standpoint it is their refusal to acknowledge a fetus as human.
With us to talk more about this topic is Marie “Miriam” Fischer, originally from Memphis Tennessee, a resident of Baltimore City. Marie has worked as a freelance political consultanton various State of Maryland campaigns, and serves as the Director for Community relations for #JEXIT, amongst other political causes.
Marie, talked about the political climate since the the overturn of Roe vs.Wade in the state of Maryland, and why people are so cold about abortion, and not just agree that abortion should not be used as a form of birth control, and only in the case of where it would endanger the mother physically and mentally, such as rape, and incest.
Marie discussed her thoughts on whether the overturn will affect upcoming elections. Also, during the interview Marie was very outspoken about how as a black Jewish woman, she is dealing more with antisemitism than racism, and how that is just part of the culture today.

Catherine is a former consultant for UNSC on Yemen, and she is an expert on Islamic Terrorism, Radicalization, and Antisemitism from personal and professional perspectives that she shared with our audience.
Catherine discussed what it would be for Iran’s next constitution to enshrine the rejection of antisemitism to become the first country to make such a stance, and why it is not possible. In addition, what she has learned about the way Iran wants to portray themselves to the world in her interviews with their political figures.
Catherine spoke in detail about being born to Jewish parents, and being a grandchild of a Holocaust survivor, and also a fighter of Nazis, then married a Muslim and converted to Islam, and also published books and many articles about Shia Islam. Later, she came to detest Islam.
Catherine explained about being accused of spying for Israel against Iran, and their claims that she infiltrated Iran.

'We need cooler heads and bigger hearts in Congress' is the slogan used by Brian Robinson, Congressional Candidate for NY’s 10th District whom I had pleasure to interview on The Definitive Rap show.
Brian explained that people have become more hot-headed and their hearts have closed to the real problems in government. Brian Robinson, is Jewish American (his family name was Rabinowitz before it was changed at Ellis Island), He states that he is “Sick of the polarization and “It’s like everyone is racing to see who can be more woke, as the city suffers from unimaginable crimes of violence and hate.” Brian is deeply unnerved by the normalization of antisemitic attacks and is disheartened as we witness “the seemingly infinite crescendo of violence in this city.”
His plan is to bring Federal Oversight to the “negligent” agencies running the homeless shelters in this city. Neighborhood violence acrossManhattan and Brooklyn is most certainly linked to these mismanaged shelters.” He discussed how he plans to reduce crime in New York. Brian considers himself to be a moderate Democrat in this race, and one of his goals is that he plans to to bring both parties, Republican and Democrat to the table.
Brian talked about the corruption in closing Wagner Park for two years, while concrete was poured over the green space where kids play, and that it was all about greed, and his opinion on gun control. He eloquently outlined his idealistic motivation to run for office.

The other scary issue discussed was security breaches on medical devices. In April of this year the Department of Health and Human Services posted an alert to healthcare agencies of an exceptionallyaggressive ransomware group targeting hospitals and healthcare facilities. There can actually be an unauthorized person or persons who will attack and take full control of system access, remote code execution, change configuration, file system read accession, log information access, and also denial of service. We are NOT prepared for this. Not all medical facilities are prepared for this.
Another issue discussed was that WTO World Trade Organization has been trying to stop the stealing of Covid 19 vaccinepatents, and about the monkeypox vaccine that is really the smallpox vaccine, and how health has really turned into a business.
Dr. Pitts recently published his new book, The Next Normal on how we can apply the lessons learned from COVID-19 to advance other areas of healthcare.
A bipartisan agreement has been reached, but wait...if you read the agreement, it's not about gun 'control'. In addition, the Republicans barely made any concessions, and the Democrats are not getting what they wanted -- No universal background checks, no red flag laws, no banning of assault-style rifles. Are the Republicans setting up the Democrats to collapse their own bill? PLUS: The Jan 6th primetime hearings are a complete sham. Much more
PLUS: Joe Biden admits that high gas prices are really a 'transition off fossil fuels'. The Mossad kills a top Iranian terrorist. Biden keeps making blunders, and the white house staffers keep 'clarifying' his words.
On May 26, 2022, The Definitive Rap hosted a very special guest, New York Gubernatorial Candidate, Andrew Giuliani in the running to become the 58th governor of New York. If Andrew wins, he will become the first Republican governor of New York since George Pataki. Andrew is the son of the legendary former mayor Rudy Giuliani.
It is known that for Andrew, “Save New York” stands for Stop Crime, Anti-Mandate, Voter Identification and Educational Choice.
Andrew talked about his initiative to stopping crime all over, including subways, and how New York can become a safer place to live.
Andrew went into detail about the Covid Vaccine measures currently in place, and why it’s wrong.
He discussed the controversy regarding voting machines. He explained how they may be unreliable and prone to tampering, as well as mail-in ballots, and his plan to make voting credible and get citizens to feel more confident about voting.
There was also much discussion during the interview about making changes in educational choice, and homelessness.
PLUS: Joe Biden admits that high gas prices are really a 'transition off fossil fuels'. The Mossad kills a top Iranian terrorist. Biden keeps making blunders, and the white house staffers keep 'clarifying' his words.
At The Definitive Rap we unapologetically report the truth about
whatever is going on. We sugarcoat nothing and we present it in it’s raw form via our eclectic guests from all over the world, and the world is certainly in chaos now. Who is not talking about the atrocities committed by the Russian troops in Ukraine? In fact even though it’s been over a month since Russian troops withdrew from their positions around Kyiv, bodies and mass graves keep turning up. The atrocities committed by the Russian forces is overwhelming.
With us today from Paris is Claire Berlinski, editor of the Cosmopolitan Globalist. Claire talked about how Putin is in this for the long haul, and he seems to be willing to endure many challenges, and how food shortages, inflation, and energy prices getting worse and worse, as well as how Europe, particularly France has been affected by the war.
Also discussed was that Russians will be tried for war crimes, such as intentionally killing civilians, and sexual violence.
Claire elaborated on France’s general consensus about the war.
Shireen Abu Akleh, a veteran Palestinian journalist with the Al Jazeera network was killed last Wednesday while covering the turmoil in the Jenin refugee camp. The Definitive Rap expresses deep condolences to her family.
The U.S. media have wasted no time and condemned Israel for Shireen’s untimely death. At The Definitive Rap we are probably the first media program to give our audience the Israeli perspective with a wealth of details not heard on CNN or read in The New York Times. With us today is our Israeli correspondent Barry Shaw who shared with our audience what really happened in Jenin where Shireen lost her life whilecovering the story, that is different than what Al Jazeera reported, and how the media is demonizing Israel. Barry also explained how Shireen’s death is being used as a political pawn.
Barry talked about President Biden’s upcoming visit to Israel in June. During that visit, he plans to go to East Jerusalem to visit a hospital, demanding to be unaccompanied by any Israeli official. Also, while President Biden is prepared to visit Jerusalem and meet Palestinian officials, the White House has publicly opposed the building of Jewish homes in Judea and Samaria, and the kind of message all thisis sending to the world with regard to widening the gap between Jerusalem, and Israel and Washington.
Talkline With Zev Brenner with Harvard Law Professor emeritus Alan Dershowitz on Roe V Wade, Museum of Jewish Heritage, Lufthansa, Harvard Crimson, the problem with today's Jewish leaders & organizations as well as how to fight anti-Semitism.
“Israel’s Memorial Day is about war, not peace. And it shouldn’t be a time for refrains of Kumbaya. The only song we should be singing is Hatikvah,” said our guest, Ruthie Blum whom we have the pleasure to hear.
The purpose of Yom Hazikaron, Israel’s Memorial Day is to pay tribute to fallen Israeli soldiers and victims of terror who were targeted because they are Jews. This year grieving Jewish families are offended by the Defense Ministry’s gift of a wall clock designed with Islamic and Christian symbols. The insult felt by these bereaved families is so strong to the extent that they will return it. Ruthie agreed that what is going on this year was a so-called politically correct decision, to keep the peace, rather than call it what it is. War.
Also discussed was how Ramadan was celebrated, and about thecontroversy surrounding Temple Mount.
In her spunky way Ruthie talked about her quote, “I support aborting kids when they reach puberty and start slamming the door in your face. Otherwise, I oppose it,” and the general consensus in Israel about the news that the Roe vs. Wade decision has been struck down.
Talkline with Zev Brenner with Rabbis Yitzchok & Moshe Fingerer of BJX Brooklyn Jewish Experience on Helping Jews get back to their Jewish roots
As we finished commemorating Yom HaShoa, The Definitive Rap paid tribute to the more than 6 million holy souls who were murdered during the Holocaust. Those who are not related to Holocaust survivors may not realize that the atrocities, in fact continued, and is continuing to this very day. Children of Holocaust survivors are still carrying the pain of what their parents and grandparents endured. In fact, experts are saying thateven third generation Holocaust survivors are also still suffering.
We had the privilege of meeting Deborah Levison, a child of Holocaust survivors who turned her pain into becoming an award-winning journalist. During the interview she eloquently tells the story of her parent’s ordeals, not just of the brutal dark days of the Holocaust, but also present day. We discussed her debut multiple award-winning book The Crate: A Story of War, a Murder, and Justice, the true crime story that happened in her family withechoes of the genocidal horror of the Holocaust, and the strive for justice.
In talking about the Holocaust, Deborah explained how she felt different from her peers growing up, and how she learnedabout the Holocaust from her parents, and what they endured, and how they survived. She explained how her parents’ experiences in the Holocaust influenced her life.
The Holocaust cannot and should not ever be forgotten. The memories of the more than six million holy souls must alwaysbe kept alive. Never again will the Holocaust ever happen. Never again!

Talkline with Zev Brenner on Hitler's Jewish Child with Robert Rockaway, professor emeritus at Tel Aviv University, and the author of But He Was Good to His Mother: The Lives and Crimes of Jewish Gangsters. This episode is a true Story of a Nazi magazine in 1935 that held a photo contest for the ‘perfect Aryan baby.’ They made one mistake when they picked the winner.
We sometimes have guests on the show as they are in the midst of a campaign, and it’s always interesting to hear about what they propose in their mission when they make it to office. Folks, today we have a winner on our show! Republican Ari Brown declared victory over Democrat David Lobl as the State Assemblyman, succeeding Melissa Miller. Ari won 4,667 votes in this special election to Lobl’s 2,413.
Who is Ari Brown? He is a results-oriented leader who meets challenges with sound and sensible solutions and has a proven record of public service accomplishments and private sector efficiency.
Ari explained how he reduced the downtown vacancy rate in Cedarhurst from 20% to 2%, and why he is working work to repeal
“cashless bail” laws that have freed killers, drug dealers and gang members, and pass legislation that will remove District Attorneys who refuse to prosecute dangerous accused criminals in a relatively safe area to begin with. Ari also discussed the recent politics going on in Rockville Center, with all of the commentaries going back and forth, as to whether this is an antisemitic situation, and he also talked about the first issues on his agenda that he plans to tackle.
Courage comes in unique and sometimes unexpected ways. Today we have the pleasure of meeting a remarkable young woman who went as a single woman unaccompanied, unguided, unsponsored by any sort of group as a tourist to Afghanistan. It took her 6 years to save up enough money for that trip, and while there, she decided to not just view the country as a tourist destination, but to help in ways that most people would shy away from.
Our guest Melissa Toomim is a counterterrorism specialist in the propaganda narratives of extremist movements, and a candidate to represent California’s 32nd Congressional District.
Melissa spoke about her work providing humanitarian relief and evacuating dozens of our Afghan allies from Taliban controlled Afghanistan, and aiding in the evacuation of vulnerable Ukrainians.
She also talked about investigating the Muslim Brotherhood’s Islamophobia propaganda campaign, as well as manipulations by real estate predators determined to steal the West Los Angeles Soldiers’ Home from our veterans. These same predators are exploiting their government ties to simultaneously commit municide against the some of the most desirable business districts in Los Angeles County. Of great importance is how Melissa eloquently explains the Pakistan narrative about the Taliban!
Rabbi Elchanan Poupko, well-known author and Rebbi, joined Yaakov M on VIN News to discuss the war in Ukraine, and how the frum Jewish community should respond.
Rabbi Poupko discussed these topics:
- What is the proper hashkafa regarding this war?
- Why are hundreds (maybe thousands) of Jews–including orphans–stuck in Romania and not allowed to leave?
- The amazing achdus displayed by Jewish organizations to help Jews survive and escape Ukraine
- Should Jews pressure the US government to do more to help Ukraine?
- How should we feel about Ukrainians getting attacked, in light of their vicious antisemitism and heinous behavior against Jews in the Holocaust?
- Why should we focus more on Ukrainians than other victims of human rights abuses and genocide?
- Did President Biden miss a huge opportunity to defeat Putin?
Talkline With Zev Brenner With Eliyah Hawila & Rabbi Avraham Reich. Exclusive on the Lebanase Chosson's Conversion to Judaism and his Mother's & Grandmother's Jewish Identity now revealed in this special broadcast.
Attaining freedom sometimes unfortunately comes with paying a bloody price, and that means war. Today we will go on a journalistic journey to understanding the Israel-Arab conflict through a brilliantly written book titled The Bloody Price of Freedom: Israel’s Battle for Justice, Freedom, and Commitment to Democratic Values written by Richard D. Heideman, Esq. We will hear documentation about how the Palestinian leadership mishandled and sabotaged many opportunities, and a deep analysis how international law has been misused by the United Nations for political purposes. We will also hear about the link between terrorism and antisemitism, and how he exposes the diplomatic boycott and terror warfare against Israel and the global Jewish community.
Richard spoke about the Durban Conference to combat racism, and how in essence it promoted racism, and about the 2 BDS movements, the economic BDS, and the BDS of public opinion.
He talked about educating students to hate Israel in Palestinian textbooks, and what is actually written in those textbooks, who publishes and funds the publication of these textbooks, and what type of educational curriculum is established and functioning in Palestinian schools, as well as how this can be counteracted. Richard discussed how the Palestinian leadership sabotaged and mishandled opportunities, and America’s role in promoting economic development between Israel and its neighbors.
Antisemitism has become a crisis that is only increasing, and threatening our nation, the world, and universities. The question is how do the BDS activists on college campuses carry out antisemitism and get others to jump on their bandwagon? By creating a hostile climate. They accuse Jewish students of racism because they support a Jewish state. They declare Israel to be illegitimate while claiming that the Palestinians are merely seeking a homeland. It has gotten so bad that not only are Jewish students denied equal participation in student affairs, but the antisemitism has risen so brazenly that they chant genocidal slogans celebrating the forthcoming destruction of Israel.
With us today is Dr. Richard L. Cravatts, to discuss this issue at great length is. Dr. Cravatts has published over 550 articles and book chapters on campus anti-Semitism, the Israeli/Palestinian conflict, and campus free speech. He recently authored “Jew Hatred Rising that is available for free.
Dr. Cravatts explains how the anti-Israel group SJP, Students For Justice in Palestine operate, and also why intelligent students are buying into their propaganda while ignoring the reality of Arab aggression, murder, and suicide bombers, and also why there is no mention ever made of Arab terror, again and again.
He discusses the recent action by the Duke Student Government, DSG president Christina Wang to withhold recognition to a new pro-Israelstudent group, and that free speech, particularly on campus, academic speech is only free, depending on who is speaking, as well as the shocking behavior of the student government in Pomona College where they successfully pushed a resolution that would compel student clubs to participate in a boycott of specific companies that do business with Israel.
Dr. Cravatts goes into discussion about how the campuses in Europe compare to the universities in the US with regard to supporting terror and denouncing Israel.
As an important message for people to understand is he explains what being pro—Palestine really means, and how the perpetrators ofantisemitism cry victim, as “Crybully” in campus Anti-Israel activism.
The Definitive Rap expresses deepest condolences to the familiesof the 4 Israeli victims, and gives tribute to Doris Yahbas, Laura Yitzchak, Rabbi Moshe Kravitzky, and Menachem Yecheskel, who were recently stabbed to death in Beersheba.
In this day and age being politically correct is the political thing to do. It doesn’t even matter if one believes in what they are saying, as long as they are politically correct, that’s all that matters, and the media oftentimes is no exception. The Definitive Rap will unapologetically say what needs to be said, and our guests will say what needs to be said, whether it is politically correct or not, and that is one of the things that we stand for. Political correctness is a poor substitute for factual correctness. Similarly, good intentions are no guarantee of good policy. In the same way as the old proverb goes, 'the road to hell is sometimes paved with good intentions.' Acting in good faith is not always altruistic. Our guest, Dr. Martin Sherman, founder and CEO of the Israel Institute for Strategic Studies, author, and served in operational capacities in the Israeli intelligence community and was also ministerial advisor to the Israeli government who has testified as an expert before the Joint Economic Committee (JEC) of US Congress, in a hearing on economic and security trends in the Middle East. He talks about Israeli Law Enforcement, and what the public has to worry about with regard to trust in the police and justice system. Dr. Sherman discusses the injustice of the attempt to prosecute Benjamin Netanyahu.
He also talked about high level dignitaries that have been brought to Israel and benefitted diplomacy and pro-Israel advocacy.
Dr. Sherman offered his opinion about President Biden’s approach to the Israel-Palestinian conflict, and Israel offering to serve as a go-between with Russia as the U.S. and Europe reinforce Ukraine’s resistance against Putin’s unprecedented assault, as well as how the invasion of Ukraine impacts Israel and the world.
Talkline with Zev Brenner with noted Community leader Abe Biderman, Co Chair Shuvu on Resettling possibly 100,000 Ukrainian Jews in Israel and dealing with their spiritual needs.
Talkline with Zev Brenner with Miryam Kops, CEO of Tikva Odessa on the rescue of 300 orphans from the bombings in Odessa. How they traveled to safety on Shabbos and still maintain the community they built.
With the holiday of Purim coming up, that takes place in Persia, we commemorate evil turning around to good. How apropos that today we have the pleasure of speaking with Esther Amini who grew up in a Persian-Jewish household. Esther wrote a heart wrenching memoir titled Concealed where the reader can see that even though one can physically escape religious persecution, emotionally they can still be in that same place, and in essence, the past is never dead.
Concealed speaks not only to Iranians and their first generation American children, but to every immigrant and descendant who feels that complicated push-pull of their legacy, honoring traditional customs vs. breaking the mold and fighting oppression. Concealed has received international praise!
In addition to giving us a brief summary of the book, and the fascinating reason she felt compelled to author it, she explains why she chose Concealed as the title, since it has multiple meanings.
Esther also discusses what it was like growing up in the free world as the daughter of Jewish Iranian parents who suffered persecution, and she read a passage from her book that illustrates her point that silence in her home was expected, and how she dealt with it. Esther then goes into detail about life in Mashdad today as opposed to her parents’ days.
Decent citizens respect justice, and the ones who makethe world a better place, because they protect and defend what is right and just. It used to be back in the day that when a child would complain about an adult being inappropriate, the viewpoint was not to believe a child, and that children live in their own make-believe world. How horrifying that must have been for children who were victimized.
Not only that, but the old-fashioned mentality was that the educator is always right. It had gotten to the point where children knew that they might as well keep quiet about inappropriateness perpetrated against them. Oftentimes, these children went through life bearing the pain of their abuse.
In fact, there are adults today who say that when theywere growing up how it was known in specific schools who the perpetrating educator was, and these children knew to watch out for that person.
Fast forward several years later when the people became savvier, and actually uttered the words, “sexual abuse” if their child was victimized. These parents would scream and try to bring the perpetrator to justice. But, for those who followed the renowned stories, we know that things did not go well for those families, and not only was justice never served, but the family was ostracized for daring to accuse a so-called respectable person of abusing their child.
Well, we have come a long way since then, because aneducator of children said enough is enough, and risking his own self and family, he started going after perpetrators and calling them out.
Rabbi Yakov Horowitz who conducts child abuse prevention and parenting workshops eloquently explains the situation and how to combat this issue. He goes into detail about why a particular child might be targeted, and what to look out for to prevent such a tragedy from occurring.Rabbi Yakov Horowitz also talks about his new book, A Safety Book in Every Home that every parent must read.
Talkline with Zev Brenner with Shlomo Rosilo, Founder of Hatzalah Ukraine speaking from the border of Moldova, on the rescue organization and the splits between the various Jewish Ukraine relief operations.
The Definitive Rap’s Israeli correspondent and strategic analyst, Barry Shaw shared breaking news for us, and a couple of scoops that will be stunning information about the Russia/Ukraine crisis. Specifically, how NATO and the U.S. have handled or mishandled it, and the consequence of which will leave Israel to deal with the Iranian nuclear/proxy threat. He discusses the potential danger to the U.S., and this huge rush to complete the Iran negotiations by March 1. Additionally, he explains how it negatively affects Israel from an Israeli strategic perspective. Barry leaves no holds barred as he talks about President Biden and his sanctions on Russia, and the increase in gas prices.
Also covered during the interview was the good news from Israel that beginning March 1, all tourists will be allowed to enter Israel, even if unvaccinated, and about the major conversion controversy going on in Israel now.
Talkline With Zev Brenner with former Ambassador David Friedman on The real story of Trump & the Jerusalem Embassy Move. The behind the scenes of the forces within the Trump Administration that tried to derail the embassy move.
Talkline With Zev Brenner with Ukrainian Chief Rabbi live from Ukraine on the unfolding crisis and what it means for the over 300,000 Jews still living in the country.
When there is injustice, there are people who say nothing.
There are also people, who express what’s wrong by just complaining about it. And then there are the ones who are not afraid to expose it, but who fearlessly and actively do something to make changes. The honored guest today, is the one courageous
woman who will step into the ring and fight – while others are afraid to enter that ring. What is she fighting for? She is fighting for the rights of the American people and has been fighting for years, instead of standing on the sidelines with those who have unconstitutional agendas. United States Senate Candidate from Arkansas, Jan Morgan is fighting government corruption!
During the interview we discussed her investigative piece called Rampant Injustice, where she exposed the trampling of the Constitutional rights of Americans during white collar crime investigations, and how she is fighting for the cause
to term limit Congress.
Also discussed was that Dr. Anthony Fauci has been
criticized for his funding with American’s tax dollars for experiments
involving canine testing, specifically immobilizing beagles whose heads are placed in boxes with starving fleas eating them alive. Jan Morgan then set the record straight about the controversial topic of when she gained national attention after banning Muslims from The Gun Cave Indoor Shooting Range.
These days the topic of Secularism comes up much more than in recent years. That is because people who classify themselves as secularists believe that religious beliefs and ideas should be neutral from the government, social economic and political fields, and even education. In other words, it is separating religion and the rest of the world. It is a philosophy throughout many religions, and particularly the Jewish religion, where secularism has also invaded. Our esteemed guest, Mrs. Molly Resnick, a veteran journalist and former Israeli TV and NBC explains why this is happening.
Mrs. Resnick is also the director of MATCKH-Mothers Against Teaching Children to Kill and Hate. Mrs.Resnick’s late husband, A”H, was the Lubavitcher Rebbe’s, Z”L, doctor. Mrs. Resnickalso published the book “Forsake Not Thy Mother’s Teachings” where she interviewed 12 personalities, including the chief Rabbi of Russia, specifically because Marxism and secularism agree that socialism is a good system ofgovernment, and how that is affecting Jewish life in Russia today.
Talkline with Zev Brenner looks at the outrageous situation of a Synagogue in Ann Arbor that a court ruled has to pay a $ 159K fine to Anti-Semitic agitators. Nat Lewin, one of the Jewish Community's leading lawyers looks at the legal issues in this case and the miscarriage of justice.
What people talk about all the time, and one of the most important goals that everyone hopes to achieve, is also what politicians campaigning promise to fix or make happen. And that is world peace. We all want world peace. We crave it. We need it. Not a day goes by where something does not take place that reinstates the knowledge that we don’t have world peace, and we need to find a way to bring it about for good.
Our esteemed guest Rabbi Ken Spiro, author of “World Perfect – The Jewish Impact on Civilization,” published by HCI books, “Crash Course in Jewish History,” published by Targum Press, and “Destiny – Why A Tiny Nation Plays Such A Huge Role In History,” published by Geffen Publishing House, and also Senior Lecturer and Researcher for Aish HaTorah, Jerusalem, talked about the persecution that Jewish people have endured, from the beginning of time; why it happens, and what could actually be done about it.
We will learn a few tips from Rabbi Spiro who interviewed 1,500 westerners from the United States, South America, and throughout Europe. What he discovered and published was that respect for human life, peace and harmony, justice and equality, education, family, and social responsibility are fundamental human values that regardless of background when all those aspects are achieved, yes, world peace is possible, and can be achieved.
Talkline with Zev Brenner with Rabbi Abraham Cooper Associate Dean & Director of Global Social Action of Wiesenthal Center reflects on Whoopi Goldberg and her apology on the Holocaust. Also examined is a meaning Rabbi Cooper had with the FBI regarding Anti-Semitic attacks in the U.S.
Kenneth Abramowitz, a threat analyst and author of The Multi Front War says in his book that America doesn’t know it yet, but our country is fighting an international war. The fact is that the war is being waged on various fronts, both internal and external. During our interview Ken, in his keen insight explained with profound wisdom how America is fighting multiple enemies, andpeople don’t even know it. There are international threats facing our nation. For example, everything that happens in Iran to the riots in our streets, it isall part of one siege. And that what we are actually fighting here is World War 3, but due to false narratives our leaders fail to see that. He explains how to defend America from Political Islam, China, North Korea, Russia, Cuba, Pandemics, and Racial Strife, and we will hear about their sympathizers. Ken uses history tomake many of his arguments, such as the rise of communism after World War 2, and the resurgence of socialism in the mainstream western world today. Also discussed was his site, Save The West, and how people can sometimes be their own worst enemy.

In this interview he looks at the Lev Tahor Chassidic cult that has fled the US, Canada, Israel and Guatemla, now residing in Romania and exploring moving to Iran. Lev Tahor has been accussed of murder, sex trafficking, kidnapping and other crimes.
Very few if any would believe that less than 80 years since the end of the Holocaust a U.S. company would become the number one distributor of evil Nazi propaganda throughout the world. That was Amazon’s Hate for profit. But, world Jewry is very lucky that there is a hero who made sure that Amazon removed 26 Nazi films from their website -pages for 23 DVDs ceased to exist too and 3 on Prime are now listed as unavailable. But the most horrific Nazi films such as The EternalJew, Yud Suss, and The Rothschild’s Shares in the Waterloo are all gone from their platform. Who gets the credit for that? Our guest, Dov Hikind! Dov is an Orthodox Jew, American politician,activist, and radio talk show host. Dov is a former Democratic New York State Assemblyman representing Brooklyn's Assembly district 48, having held this position for 35 years – from January 1983 until December 2018. He is the Founder of Americans Against Antisemitism. Americans Against Antisemitsm is a grassroots coalition that mobilizes supporters to take social action against anti-Semites. We discussed how an American multinational company, and one of Big5 companies allowed such hateful propaganda and literature that has the potential to cause tremendous harm exist on their platform.
We talked about the hostage situation at Congregation Beth Israel in Colleyville Texas where the FBI fisrt said it was not an antisemitic act, and that it was not singularly focused on one issue, and that it was not related to the Jewish community, when the attacker was seeking the release of a woman from prison known as Lady AlQaede who was sentenced to 86 years in federal prison for attempting to kill US troops in Afganistan. Then the FBI retracted their statement.
In tribute to Sheldon Adelson, A'H, the billionaire who cared about Israel and the Jews, with Jonathan Tobin, award winning journalist and editor-in-chief of JNS. Sheldon was a billionaire on the
Forbe’s list of the world’s wealthiest people, and also one of the most prolific donors in conservative politics. This past week was his
Yahrzeit. We memorialize what he has done for the United States and Israel. In fact, he was one of the first super-wealthy Americans to take advantage of the Supreme Court's Citizens United Ruling, which has created the open door to 8 and 9 figure political donations so long as the money does not go to candidates or party committees, but rather to independent Super Pacs. For Sheldon it was not about how he made his money, but the manner in which he gave so much of it away. Together with
his lovely wide, Miriam, they built an empire of charity and goodwill to benefit people throughout the world. When Sheldon left this world on January 11 2021, it was a loss to all. Sheldon Adelson's life was not just about what he did, but he set the standard for other Jews to follow in
his footsteps. Being proud of one's Jewish heritage, and unapologetic about engaging in the interests of people and Israel. May Sheldon's memory be for a blessing.

Today’s guest, Meriel Schindler, is the author of the critically acclaimed book, The Lost Café Schindler: One Family, Two Wars, And The Search for Truth. Café Schindler was built by her uncles Hugo and Erich in the early 1900’s, and was considered the place to be in Innsbruck Austria - Where they served the best pastries and featured the most talented musicians for dance nights.
The café, though under a new family ownership, is still operating
today. This book, however, is not about a café, but about family
history, Nazi plundering of Jewish businesses and property, attempts at reclamation, and a search for truth and closure years after the war. Our guest discovered her fathers’ papers in 2017 which served as a link to his family back in Austria going back to the late 1800’s and early 1900’s, including family members who served in the Austrian military during WW1. Meriel discovers that her great uncle Edward Bloch was an incredible medical doctor who took care of everyone - rich and poor, and any time of day or night. Meriel Schindler tells of her uncle Edward being given special “protection” during the Nazi onslaught of Austria, because during the early 1900’s Dr. Bloch treated Hitler’s mother for breast cancer, and treated young Adolf himself.There
were a lot of lessons from this book, which showed that even Jews who were fully assimilated with their non-Jewish neighbors were not spared from the Nuremburg Laws or Nazi-inspired antisemitism. And as the author wrote, there were so few Jews in this part of Austria for Nazis to blame their problems on.

Today’s very special guests, from the group #Jexit,
are educating American Jews about the Democrats and their abandonment of Israel and the Jewish people. Democrats
thrive on division and polarization based on race, income, gender,
sexual orientation, people of faith, and now, in attacking police. On their website, Jexit states: For decades, American Jews have
consistently supported Democrat candidates. However, that party is undergoing a seismic and alarming change. Accepting, approving and failing to condemn anti-Semitism shows the new direction of the Party. Endorsing the BDS (Boycott, Divestment and Sanctions) Movement, threatening to block weapons sales to Israel, denying Israel's right to self-defense, indirectly funding Hamas by giving money to Iran, these are but some examples of how the radical left has abandoned the Jewish community. There are only 15 million Jews in the world, half of them ive in Israel. We must stand together! You can visit them at: WWW.JEXITUSA.ORG
Interview with former Montreal Councilman and
current Canadian Bnai Brith leader, Marvin Rotrand, to discuss
antisemitic Palestinianist activism at the University of Toronto and the Toronto school System. On the University of Toronto Campus, The Student Union of Toronto at Scarborough passed a resolution in support of BDS, calling on the University to sever all ties with ANY organization they deem supports the state of Israel. This included ending Kosher catering for the University’s Jewish students.
In May of 2021, Jewish students at the U of T Medical school filed a complaint alleging defamatory and libelous comments directed at them from fellow medical students and faculty. Adding insult to injury, the school’s “anti-discrimination” czar, Ritika Goel, is a BDS supporter who has called support for Israel, a “barbaric cultural practice.”
Earlier this December, a Jewish Toronto District School Board Trustee named Alexandra Lulka, who raised the alarms over antisemitic material distributed by another trustee, was the target of a Censure for calling out the antisemitism, which was acknowledged by the “Integrity Commissioner.”
Last week, The Supreme Court heard the Mississippi
case of Dobbs V. Jackson where the state is looking to restrict
abortions after 15 weeks. Will their decision overturn Roe v Wade?
Were the Justices questions about advocacy, or the law? Is adoption a viable and reasonable alternative to abortion?
Professor Rosenbaum addressed the questions raised by the Justices including Justice Sotomayor who compared the “response to touch” by an unborn baby, to an adult in a vegetative state. During the conversation, He explained the relevance of Justice Comey-Barrett asking the lawyer representing the Jackson Women's Health Organization, if offering “adoption” was a viable solution to abortion since at the time of Roe V. Wade, it was not.
We
also delved into the Rittenhouse trial and verdict as he was found NOT guilty in a court of law, but was found EXTREMELY GUILTY by the media and left-wing mobs, who, while decrying so-called “vigilante justice,” were demanding “social justice” which doesn’t require a trial. Their only criteria is race and if a firearm was used.
Also discussed during the interview was the recent high-school shooting in Oxford Michigan by Ethan Crumbley, and why his parents could now be charged with involuntary manslaughter.
Are Soros-Funded DA's responsible for the new crime wave across big cities?Our
conversation discussed whether our justice system is still based on
what our Founding Father’s had hoped for or do we have a new system which takes into account factors NOT related to the evidence, such as 'racial equity.'
PLUS: Why don't Democrats pass gun control bills now that they're in charge? (Hint: Democrat voters own lots of guns)
This week, as Jews around the world celebrate
Chanukah – the festival of lights, and the triumph of good over evil, there are many troubling issues facing Israel and the Jewish people.
Joining us today from Israel, is Barry Shaw from the Israel Institute for Strategic Studies, to tell us how the Israeli Government and people are viewing the incompetence of this Administration. In
the beginning of the interview, Barry observed and contrasted how US Administrations who have been hostile to Israel, have suffered economically and otherwise, back home, citing specifically, the Obama and Biden Administrations. Whereas under President Trump, who was very good to Israel and the Jewish people, Americans prospered. He also discussed the different approaches taken by Bibi Netanyahu and the current Israeli leaders, Bennett and Lapid, in conveying their positions on Iran with their American counterparts. During
the interview, issues were raised such as how the US Administration is stubbornly determined to re-enter nuclear talks with Iran, in spite of the violations uncovered by nuclear inspectors, and Iran vowing to launch a nuclear attack against Israel. Recently, An Iranian commander said, “We will not back off from the annihilation of Israel.” A recent report from the IAEA states that Iran has enough uranium enriched to nearly 20 and 60%, to produce a single nuclear weapon in as
little as 3 weeks. Barry told us that while the US and Europe continue to engage in appeasement diplomacy,
The IDF is in accelerated mode in preparing for the eventuality that military operations will be required to end Iran’s nuclear program.
In this informative, exciting, fun interview, Moshe offers amazing analysis about the Rittenhouse verdict, the extreme mess known as Kamala Harris, the economy, Build Back Better, and much more. As always, Moshe brings lots of energy and brilliance.
Who could be better to name it after than the man responsible? PLUS: Biden's inflation causes Dollar tree to no longer charge $1. Iran still refuses to allow nuclear inspectors in. And much more.
Today’s show is a little different than our previous shows. Instead of politics, we have a very special guest, Dr. Marc Straus to talk about his book, One-Legged Mongoose: Secrets, Legacies, and Coming of Age in 1950’s New York. And just in time for Chanukah.
When you first start reading this book, it reads something like ‘The Goldberg’s’ meet ‘The Wonder Years’
Television shows, as the book starts off with Marc recalling about his chain-smoking mother who drives down the Belt Parkway like a speed demon, then, without slowing down, up the ramp off the Van Wyck Expressway, with total disregard that Marc is going to vomit all over himself if she doesn’t pull over quickly. While the book has its funny moments, there are many important lessons that discuss with Dr. Straus today.
From getting into fist fights in public school in West Hempstead, Long Island – and always winning – not many Jews can say that, to
transferring to a Yeshiva Day school in Queens – traveling alone on the train with his younger brother, for 4 hours every day. Marc’s story is very unique in that he endured physical abuse at home, and never telling anyone, to helping his immigrant father on Sundays at his textile businesses, survived polio, recovered after being hit by a car – ALL BEFORE THE AGE OF 12- to always looking out for his younger brother and other defenseless victims of childhood bullying.
Kyle Rittenhouse, who clearly acted in self-defense, has been found not guilty, yet the media is claiming that the reason he was acquitted is because he's white. Some Democrats are still accusing him of being a white supremacist, even though the people he shot were white. PLUS: Kamala Harris' communications director has resigned, as her numbers continue to plunge. Biden has admitted that the stimulus checks he provided helped lead to inflation. And much more.
Interview with Award-Winning Journalist, Senior
Editor-in Chief at the Jewish News Syndicate, Jonathan Tobin, to discuss his recent columns, including on the Biden Administration abandoning Israel on a crucial UN vote on the UNRWA support for the Palestinians, from a column titled: Biden’s neutrality on infrastructure of the war against Israel
A U.S. abstention on a resolution supporting the UNRWA refugee agency that fuels Palestinian demands for a “right of return” demonstrates the administration’s misunderstanding of why the conflict continues. We also discussed the recent trip to Israel organized by the far left anti-Israel J Street - bringing Democrat members (only) of Congress to meet with Israeli leaders, while indoctrinating them even more in support of the Palestinian narrative. Congressional members on the trip included Barbara Lee CA-13, Mark Pocan WI-2, and Jamaal Bowman NY-16,
all of whom have horrific records on Israel. Jonathan
discussed the further lurch left by the ADL who has voiced support for Critical Race Theory, which would lead to further antisemitism from ideological progressives. Lastly,
we talked about AIPAC, and whether they can still be relevant as a
pro-Israel bipartisan group when bipartisanship is fading away in
Washington.
Dr. Wollschlaeger, who grew up as a Catholic in Bamburg Germany, is the author of “A German Life: Against All Odds - Change is Possible,”which describes his struggle growing up in Germany in the shadow of his Father, a highly-decorated WWII tank commander and Nazi officer. His life took a big turn while watching the television coverage of the Munich Olympics in 1972.
He eventually converted to Judaism, emigrated to Israel, and served in the IDF as a Medical Officer.

Many people say that “politics is a blood sport.”
If you follow the news and politics, you wonder how opposing members of Congress can even stand to be in the same room with each other. It wasn’t always like this.
In the 90’s, during the Clinton years, even with all the attacks, both personal and political, Bill Clinton managed to work pretty effectively with Newt Gingrich and the GOP leadership. Back then, there were also a number of Senators on both sides of the aisle who were gentlemanly and actually worked hard for love of country.
Today’s guest is one of these gentlemen - who was - and still remains well respected on both sides of the political aisle.
Senator Joe Lieberman is the author of the new book, “The Centrist Solution:
How we Made Government Work and can make it work again.” And after the political earthquake that took place this past Tuesday, the launch of his book couldn’t have been more timely. Senator Lieberman was regarded as the “conscience of the Senate” because of his integrity, ability to work well with Republicans, and was widely regarded as someone whose word was his bond – a rare commodity in Washington these days. The book gives insight into Senator Lieberman’s political accomplishments, revealed his sense of humor, and he shares very important lessons for those seeking office who want to make a difference and get things done!
We bring you a full election day recap, after the Democrats get pummelled on Election Day--with voters rejecting their socialist policies and reclaiming control of their lives. PLUS: Biden denies report that he is planning to pay illegals who were separated from families $450K, then the White House says that he did not really mean to deny it. (Huh?) Another bombshell indictment in the Durham probe into spygate. And much more.
PLUS: Biden wants to give millions to illegals. (Can he give them Hunter Biden paintings instead?) ISIS threat in DC and Virginia. Liberal mayors say they want 'law and order'. And much more
During the last several years, FBI data has shown a
massive spike of antisemitic attacks against Jews and Jewish
institutions, and that Jews have been the most targeted group in
America.
We are no longer just victimized by Holocaust-denying neo-Nazis, but are now targeted by the far left, radical Islamists, and the “free Palestine” PLO movement who
have spent years trying to delegitimize Israel in the media, on college campuses, academia, and now, the halls of Congress.
Last month in Texas, Gina Peddy, executive director of curriculum and instruction for the Carroll Independent School District, said, “We are in the middle of the political mess … make sure that if you have a book on the Holocaust, that you have one that has opposing or other perspectives.”
In 2019, Florida Principal William Latson said he had to be 'politically neutral' about
the Holocaust because 'not all of our parents have the same beliefs. In2018, Trayon White Sr., a Washington, D.C., councilman, who is now running for Mayor, suggested on Facebook that rich Jews control the weather. He visited the U.S. Holocaust Memorial Museum and left halfway through the 90-minute tour.
Today’s very special guest, Rabbi Abraham Cooper, from the Simon Wiesenthal Center discussed these very troubling events, and if we in the Jewish community and other men and women of good will are going to wake up and realize that the threats against us are coming from more corners of society than we want to admit.
THE DEFINITIVE RAP INTERVIEW WITH Peter Baum who has written numerous columns about the falseness of the “Palestinian people” and mythical history, and is frequently
interviewed by The WeekPeter Baum reveals the similarities between the PA/Hamas charters and Nazi ideology.Mr.
Baum went into great detail debunking the false narratives advanced by the media and PLO-PA movement for decades, which include terminology such as 'Occupied West Bank,' 'Apartheid,' and 'Genocide.'
During the interview, we discussed the deceptive tactics employed the Left to garner support for the PA agenda, which is not only intended to delegitimize Israel, but for which there are no national interests for the United States. Peter Baum proves unequivocally that there has never been an Arab state called 'Palestine.'
We discussed these issues and other related columns on this topic,
including the many quotes from Arab leaders, stating unequivocally, that there is no such thing as a “Palestinian Arab,” but that they were invented for the sole political purpose of creating war with Israel.”

There’s a saying in politics, “when something doesn’t make sense or look right, Follow the money….and you’ll usually find your answer.
In movies, if you want excitement, we think of James Bond or Fauda.
Today’s guest is the James Bond and Fauda of the courtroom. Nitsana Darshan-Leitner is the CEO of the Shurat HaDin Law Center, who follows the money and sues Governments who finance terrorism against Israeli’s and Jews, and banks
who launder money for terrorist groups.
On their website, you will see some of their achievements: “We
have represented hundreds of terror victims in legal actions against terror organizations and their supporters, won billions of dollars in judgments against them, and secured hundreds of millions of dollars in compensation on behalf of the victims.”“Under
the motto: 'Bankrupting Terrorism – One Lawsuit at a Time!', we
undertake civil actions against Hamas, Islamic Jihad, the PLO, The
Palestinian Authority, Hezbollah, Iran, Syria, Egypt, North Korea, UBS, and the Lebanese Canadian Bank. The cases, being tried in Israeli, American, Canadian and European jurisdictions, allow the victims of terrorism to fight back.”In
her book, titled Harpoon: Inside the Covert War Against Terrorism’s Money Masters, Nitsana gives vivid details about how the Mossad, led by Meir Dagan, were able to trace the funds used to pay terror groups like Hezbollah, and the brilliant execution of these operations.
We discussed their lawsuits against Facebook and Big Tech companies for allowing antisemitic groups and materials to be posted on their platforms, as well as their lawsuit against Unilever and Ben & Jerry's for their attempts to boycott sales to Judea and Samaria.
Today, we discuss these and other major cases taken on by Shurat HaDin. Buy the book: https://www.amazon.com/Harpoon-Inside-Against-Terrorisms-Masters/dp/0316399051/ref=sr_1_1?dchild=1&keywords=Harpoon+Leitner&qid=1634145758&sr=8-1
According to scientific data, the chances that COVID went from bat to human, without being engineered, are very slim. PLUS: The Taliban refuses to work with Biden to fight terrorgroups. Jen Psaki blames Biden's weak approval numbers on...the unvaccinated?? And much more.
Interview with the ZOA's Liz Berney, ESQ., National
Director of Research and Special Projects, discussing Iron Dome,
Antisemitism in the Classroom, The Squad, and the Biden Administration's agenda on Israel, including their desire to open a Consulate in 'East Jerusalem' for the Arabs under the PA.
Over the last few weeks, the radicals in Congress tried to pass a $3.5 Trillion billion bill which would devastate the US economy, and at the same time, a number of these progressive extremists attempted to block Iron Dome funding for Israel to replenish their supplies after the 4000 +rockets their friends in Gaza fired into Israel this past May. As if the Squad and PLO-PA supporters in Congress weren’t enough of a concern for Jews and supporters of Israel, there is a new group of “2-state” solution advocates being spearheaded by MI Congressman, Andy Levin, a Jewish Democrat who said that his “friendship” with Rashida Tlaib gives him “hope” there can be a peaceful 2-state solution.
Today’s very special guest, is Liz Berney esq. from the Zionist Organization of America. The ZOA is at the forefront of fighting for Israel and against antisemitism without apology and without exceptions. For years, the ZOA has been targeted by left wing Jewish groups because of their unequivocal support for Israel.
The ZOA recently issued a Press release calling for the “removal Jew-Haters from Congressional Committees: AOC, Tlaib, Omar, McCollum, etc. Endangered Jewish (and Arab) Lives Twice This Week.” We will talk about these and other related issues with Liz Berney.
Kamala seemed to validate the notion that Israel is guilty of ethnic genocide. Now she is trying to mop it up. PLUS: The “Build Back Better” bill should be called 'Bankrupt the Kids'. It is a socialist wish list of wasteful programs that include free child care, free college, child tax credits, climate incentives, Medicare expansion, and more. Yet Joe Manchin and Kirsten sienna may block it. PLUS: Biden’s own military advisors dispute his claim that he was not warned to leave troop in Afghanistan or face disaster. And much more.
Last year, while most shuls had limited and
restricted minyanim from Rosh Hashana through Simchas Torah, this year, most shuls were open for business, albeit with some cautionary guidelines.
A year ago, we were still in the “mask” and social distancing zone, this year, we sat near each other. Yet, as the doctors will tell you, we are from being out of the woods. Today’s guest, Rabbi Dr. Aaron Glatt, is one of the most sought-after experts on Covid and other infectious diseases. Rabbi Dr. Glatt is the Associate Rabbi at the Young Israel of Woodmere, and is the Director of the Medical Halacha Commission of the Rabbinical Alliance of America.
Heis Board certified in Internal Medicine and Infectious Diseases, and is Chairman of Medicine and Chief of Infectious Diseases / Hospital at Mount Sinai South Nassau, and a full Professor of Medicine at the Icahn School of Medicine at Mount Sinai. A spokesperson for the Infectious Diseases Society of America, he previously, was the President & CEO of St. Joseph Hospital; Executive Vice President at Mercy Medical Center; and Associate Dean at NY Medical College.
Whenthe promise of a vaccine was first rolled out under the Trump
Administration, many in the media, and his many political critics said, “it’s not trustworthy.” Then under the Biden Administration, the messaging became, “follow the science….it saves lives,” and while millions of people across the globe have been vaccinated, there are still many who are reluctant. Leaving out those who believe in world
conspiracies, there are others who are very reasonable and intelligent people who have legitimate questions based on sound and documented research. There have been many reports of people becoming violently ill or suffering serious side effects after being vaccinated, possibly from overstimulation of the immune system, known as the Cytokine Storm.
There is no one more qualified to answer these difficult questions and concerns, than Rabbi Dr. Glatt.
As we just finished Aseres Y’mei T’shuva, the 10
Days of Repentance, the period of time when our Rabbi’s and teachers emphasize that it’s a time to better ourselves while asking forgiveness from those we may have harmed over the past year. The CEO of the ADL, Jonathan Greenblatt – who reportedly earns $700,000 a year to do ONE JOB – expose and combat antisemitism, THIS year, took it upon himself to re-define T’shuva. He didn’t ask his fellow Jews for forgiveness, this
year he chose to ask for forgiveness from the Muslim community because in 2010, then ADL CEO, Abe Foxman, stood in opposition to building an Islamic Center and Mosque in the shadows of Ground Zero out of sensitivity to the families and victims of 9/11. Today’s guest is the Distinguished University Professor Thane Rosenbaum, who in 2010 wrote a column, titled; Ground Zero Mosque and the Freedom From Pain, where he stood with the Abe Foxman, who while supporting the rights of Muslims to build Mosques, stood with the families of 9/11 who viewed
Ground Zero as hallowed ground. During
the interview, Professor Rosenbaum discussed the history of the ADL, why it was initially started – to combat antisemitism – but has morphed into a political machine closely aligned with progressive parties and organizations, abdicating it’s original mandate, and leaving Jews in America vulnerable to attacks.
Professor Rosenbaum is the Distinguished University Professor at Touro College, Creative Director, Forum on Life, Culture & Society ('FOLCS') Legal Analyst, CBS News Radio, Columnist, Jewish Journal of Los Angeles, Contributor, Newsmax, Legal and Middle East Analyst, Contributing Writer, White Rose Magazine
Interview with Former British Military Commander,
Colonel Richard Kemp, who served in Afghanistan in 2003, then served with the Joint Intelligence Committee, responsible for monitoring events in Afghanistan.
Significant Quotes from the Interview:
Re: President Biden; 'Anything that can be done to end his Presidency...'
'It was a Deliberate Failure of Policy' by the US and NATO'
'Without the US, NATO is Nothing'
'There is no more gleeful Country in the World than China'
Dr. David A. Tenenbaum, Author of Accused of Treason, is a civilian mechanical engineer who works for the Army at the TACOM base in Warren, Michigan. In 1997, he was falsely accused of being an Israeli spy—and having dual loyalty to the State of Israel simply because he is Jewish—by a known anti-Semite and several other anti-Semitic coworkers who referred to Tenenbaum as the “little Jewish spy.” The FBI conducted a full-scale criminal investigation of Tenenbaum and his family. It resulted in an official report to FBI Director Louis Freeh, that there was no evidence Tenenbaum had ever done anything wrong. In fact, Tenenbaum was not even working on classified programs. Instead, he was concentrating on an approved and unclassified program known as the Light Armor Systems Survivability (LASS) to up-armor the Army’s HMMWVs because, following Somalia, it was a known fact that the HMMWVs were death traps. The Tenenbaums’ federal lawsuit for religious discrimination was dismissed after the Army falsely claimed that they “would not be able to disclose the actual reasons or motivations for their actions without revealing state secrets.” Senator Carl Levin ordered the IG-DOD to investigate the Tenenbaum case and determine if the Army was guilty of anti-Semitism. After over two years, the IG-DOD issued a report which confirmed that the US Army was guilty of anti-Semitism. To this day, the Army refuses to make Tenenbaum whole and compensate him for the false accusations against him. Tenenbaum is one of the only persons for whom a favorable Inspector General report has been issued to not be compensated. The government has never been held accountable for their anti-Semitism.
Dan Meyer, who investigated this case, is the Managing Partner of Tully Rinckey PLLC’s Washington, D.C. office, has dedicated more than 25 years of service to the field of Federal Employment and National Security law as both a practicing attorney and federal investigator and senior executive. Throughout three Presidential administrations, Dan promoted the federal whistleblowing mission and its related policies and statutes. As the Intelligence Community’s (IC) foremost whistleblowing subject-matter expert from 2013 to 2017, he served as the Executive Director for Intelligence Community Whistleblowing & Source Protection and was instrumental in establishing the IC’s first program of its kind.
From 2004 to 2013, Dan served the U.S. Department of Defense Inspector General first as Director of Civilian Reprisal Investigations and then as Director of Whistleblowing and Transparency. In these positions, he investigated or provided oversight to numerous high-profile cases, among them disclosures involving the
9/11 attacks, the abuse of polygraph procedures in counterintelligence cases, the use of the security-clearance decision-making process to reprise and discriminate, and the treatment of soldiers and their remains after injury or death.
In the interview, investigator Meyer tells us how we can pressure members of Congress to open an official investigation into this incredible miscarriage of justice.
Accused of Treason is a page turner, and will make your blood boil as you read how an Orthodox Jewish man was specifically targeted by antisemitic superiors and co-workers.
Interview with DR. RICHARD GUNDERMAN, Chancellor’s
Professor of Radiology, Pediatrics, Medical Education, Philosophy,
Liberal Arts, Philanthropy, and Medical Humanities and Health Studies at Indiana University. A distinguished medical doctor, author, and historian, he has written more than 800 articles and 15 books, his most recent being Contagion: Plagues, Pandemics and Cures from the Black Death to Covid-19 and Beyond. It
was roughly a year and a half ago at the very early stages of Covid, when local politicians were telling us that parades will go on and everything is fine. Then as people were starting to get sick, we were told that by the end of the summer, the Virus would dissipate. Then the country basically shut down as there became a rush on toilet paper, masks, and sanitizers. It wasn’t too long afterwards that politics and finger pointing started as to “who was responsible for this.” Since then, the CDC and World Health Organizations started to get a handle on things, giving us guidelines about how to move forward, and for the
most part, people complied as most Americans saw this as a “we’re all in this together” life-changing event. But it didn’t take long until some TV doctors got the celebrity bug, messaging got muddled, politicians and the media said they wouldn’t trust anything that took place under a certain President, only to change course and message with, “follow the science,” and “masks save lives.”
Today’s guest is NOT a politician or a celebrity
but a prominent doctor, Richard Gunderman, who has authored hundreds of articles and whose latest book, Contagion, goes through the history of viruses and plagues, and will educate us about everything we’re doing right, and everything we are doing wrong, and why are the health-care
experts constantly changing their messaging - which only leads to more confusion and more mistrust from the American people. During the interview, Dr. Gunderman gave us the answers that cable news doctors did not, and was not afraid to tell us when there are no certain answers to certain questions.
This interview was a breath of fresh air compared to the “experts” forced down our throats everyday with answers and rules that are often given to satisfy agendas, which are not necessarily related to our health or that of the country at large.
Interview with Matan Vilnai, Former General in the IDF; On the Entebbe rescue, he was the Commander of the Paratroopers Brigade and led the first force that landed at the Entebbe airport and the second in command of the entire operation.
General Vilnai also served as a member of the Labor Party, as Minister of Science, Culture and sports, Deputy Defense Minister and Minister of Defense of the Home Front.
Currently, he has become the president of the first China University in Israel for Business and Economics.
Most people can’t remember what they did last week, let alone 45 years ago. It was July 4, 1976, while most Americans were celebrating Independence
Day with fireworks and BBQ’s, the IDF was returning from Entebbe Airport with 102 rescued hostages. For a brief review; On June 27, Palestinian terrorists hijacked a plane
that had left Israel, bound for Paris, with a stopover in Athens where the hijackers boarded. After refueling in Libya, the plane flew to Uganda in Africa. Soon after landing in Uganda, the hijackers released the non-Israeli passengers, but held the Israeli’s for the ransom to release 53 Arab terrorists being held in Israel and European prisons. While Israel was considering its options, the terrorists extended their deadline to July 4. This extra time allowed for the IDF to devise a rescue operation titled, Operation Thunderbolt, later renamed Operation Yonathan, after
its leader Yoni Netanyahu.
The miracles included that the release of the non-Israeli hostages which allowed the Mossad to interview them to get a precise detail of the hostage takers and airport. The fact that an Israeli architect still had the Entebbe airport blueprints gave the IDF much needed information.
That the IDF had to fly 8000 miles in specialized Hercules planes, one of which was 40,000 pounds overweight and almost couldn’t take off due to extreme dry weather. These were just some of the miracles.
Today’s guest is former IDF General, Matan Vilnai, was one of the heroes who led the IDF to Uganda to tell us about his role in the rescue and what it was like to participate in the greatest hostage rescue in history.
EXCLUSIVE INTERVIEW with Yigal Dilmoni, CEO of the Yesha Council in Judea and Samaria in Israel, on the Ben & Jerry's boycott of Israel, and how US Jews and the KOF-K Kosher Agency Should Respond.
Since July 19, no story has been more dominant in the Jewish world than the announcement by the Board of Ben & Jerry’s ice cream, to boycott the “occupied territories” next year.
In America, the largest Kosher stores immediately terminated all purchases from their Ben and Jerry’s distributors. Non-Kosher stores like Morton’s and Garistedes have reduced their freezer space for this ice cream brand.
State Houses in 35 states, including New York, NJ, IL, TX, OK, and FL, have threatened to terminate all contracts with Unilever, the parent company of BJ’s ice cream, as well as divest from all their pension funds
Dan Diker, Fellow at the Jerusalem Center for Public Affairs, issued a paper, titled, The “Apartheid” Poll and the Disinformation Discourse, which delves deeper into who, how, and why these lies against Israel have gained so much traction in America, to the point of becoming mainstreamed.
In the last 2 weeks, J Street and their allies released a purposely misleading poll suggesting that 25% of American Jews believe that Israel is an “apartheid state.” During this same period, groups like J Street and other anti-Israel Jewish leftists have come to the defense of Ben & Jerry’s BDS attacks against Israel.
Along with these groups, antisemitic propogandists like Linda Sarsour, Ilhan Omar, and the Squad engage in carefully orchestrated messaging that blood-libels Israel which leads into outright antisemitism and Jew-Hatred.
During the interview, Dan discussed the tactics used by Students for Justice in Palestine, an antisemitic group, whose campus activism has set in motion the mainstreaming of academia-inspired antisemitism, targeting Jewish students and professors alike.
There’s an old adage, “The truth will set you free.” That is, unless the lies told about you are so big, so organized, and so well-orchestrated, that the truth doesn’t even matter anymore.
The rise of the blood-libel movement against Israel has been growing for decades, but now, has reached an all-time level of lies meant to delegitimize, destabilize, and eventually dismantle the State of Israel.
From the media, to academia, to the Halls of Congress, the slandering of Israel with the most grotesque lies have led to a record level of physical attacks and harassment of Jews on the streets of New York, other large cities with significant Jewish populations, and college campuses throughout North America.
In the last 2 weeks, J Street and their allies released a purposely misleading poll suggesting that 25% of American Jews believe that Israel is an “apartheid state.” During this same period, groups like J Street and other anti-Israel Jewish leftists have come to the defense of Ben & Jerry’s BDS attacks against Israel.
On Monday July 19, Ben & Jerry’s ice cream issued a Press Release stating they will not renew their contract with the Israeli distributor to sell, to what THEY Call OPT, Occupied Territories.
The response from the pro-Israel Jewish world was swift; On social media, Major Kosher supermarkets were notifying customers that Jihad Ben & Jerry’s will no longer be sold in their stores. Morton Williams, a chain of 16 stores in NY said they will reduce their shelf space by 70%, will stop promoting their brand.
The Kosher Authority Rabbinical Supervision of Australia has already de-listed the Hamas ice cream brand, and now we await a statement from the KOf-K Kosher certification, the international Kashrus agency, who certifies the PLO ice cream on how they plan to proceed.
Alas, some of you are asking, “do you really think this multi-billion-dollar company really cares if they lose the support of a minority of Kosher consumers?”
Today’s guest Noted Attorney David Schoen, who served on the defense for President Trump against impeachment, is here to explain the hot legal water these antisemitic, “social justice” warriors may have gotten themselves, Jihad Ben & Jerry’s, and even the corporate owners of this hateful brand, Unilever, into. A number of years ago, 33 states signed onto an anti-BDS bill that forbade their states from doing any business with any company who engages in BDS against Israel proper, or portions of Israel that are considered “in dispute.” Furthermore, this episode has created a Public relations nightmare for Unilever, which you can be sure, they will not soon forget.
In the second segment of the show we were honored to have with us, Nassau County councilman Bruce Blakeman, who in a record time, mobilized the Town of Hempstead in Long Island NY, to initiate the anti-BDS legislation - to ban all contracts between the town and Unilever.
Interview with Award-winning Journalist, and JNS Senior Editor In Chief , Jonathan Tobin, on his recent column, 'Are Jews really united against Antisemitism?'
On Sunday, July 11, there was an organized rally in Washington DC titled, “No Fear” to “raise awareness” about antisemitism. The event, organized by Elisha Weisel, brought together roughly 60 Jewish organizations. Groups from the right to the left like AJC, ADL, ZOA, and Stand With Us, as well as religious to the less religious, were represented.
The majority of speakers refused to acknowledge Palestinianist/Free Palestine/and ‘The Squad’ - inspired antisemitism were responsible for the huge spike in antisemitic attacks and vandalism. Like all the other rallies I’d attended, there were maybe 1 or 2 speakers willing to call out the Squad, but only if they could also criticize Republican Marjorie Taylor Greene. I want to give a shout out to Meghan Mccain who spoke, and she did not hold back.
What the rally proved to me was that we are a very divided people who can’t even do the bare minimum – that is to REFUSE to name Linda Sarsour, or Squad members as the main instigators of the increased antisemitism. One speaker, David Saperstein, felt he had to say, “I oppose the occupation,” at this event.
The Biden Administration’s representative condemned ONLY white supremacist-inspired antisemitism.
Interview with former New York State Assemblyman and Founder of Americans Against Antisemitism, Dov Hikind, about how Linda Sarsour, Ilhan Omar, Rashida Tlaib, and the Hamas-supporting Squad in Congress use blood libels against Israel to incite violence against Jews in America, and why are Jewish leaders afraid to respond.
We are repeatedly being told that Nazism didn’t start with the gas chambers, it started with “words.” ACTUALLY, Nazism started with an agenda that later became mainstream, all while Europeans and the West remained silent.
Today, we have the “free Palestine” terror movement, which includes groups like CAIR, Students for Justice in Palestine, University faculties, academia, and now the halls of Congress, which seek to dehumanize and delegitimize Israel, with the ultimate goal of severing the US/Israel relationship. LIKE in Nazi Germany, the West is silent. THEN, they could say, “we didn’t know.” Today, it’s “anti-Zionism isn’t antisemitism,” or “we can’t rock the political boat,” or we can’t respond harshly to the purveyors of hate if they are female, have a tan complexion, and certainly not if they have Islamic ancestry. Yes, we are talking about Ilhan Omar, Rashida Tlaib, Sandy Cortez, and Linda Sarsour.Worse. We are witnessing the utter silence and cowardice of Jewish groups who call themselves leaders. Whether it is Jewish groups with multi-million-dollar budgets or Jews elected to congress who either issue timid letters of criticism, or people like Chuck Schumer, who claim, “I am working behind the scenes.”
Interview with Attorney Kenneth Ryesky on the rise of antisemitic doctors and other professionals whose social media accounts call for violence against Jews and Israel. Should professional schools institute new vetting committees?
Once upon a time, antisemitism was considered taboo like other forms of racism, but we are now in 2021, America has “returned to normalcy” as Joe Biden would put it, and antisemitism is not only on the rise, it is skyrocketing. To make matters worse, it is becoming very normalized thanks to the media, academia, the halls of Congress, and a perverted new movement called “woke-ism,” which together with a very determined and successful alliance with the “free Palestine” and Hamas caucus, have mainstreamed and normalized the most virulent form of Jew-hatred not seen since the 1930’s Europe.
Antisemitism is no longer the domain of the David Duke’s of America, but has permeated every aspect of American life. In 2012, a medical student named Lara Kollab publicly stated her intent to inject dangerous drugs into Jewish patients. When this became public in 2018, our guest, Kenneth Ryesky, wrote a column in the Algemeiner titled, Hospitals and Schools Must Ensure That No Medical Professional Ever Uses Their Position to Harm Jews. For every one person like her who gets exposed, there are hundreds who are under the radar. Last week, a Phoenix-based doctor from a Children’s Hospital, named Fidaa Wishah tweeted that “Israel’s end is near.”
One of the oldest binding documents in history is
the Hippocratic Oath that is held so sacred by physicians. It is accepted that those idealistic men and women who go into medicine, who swear to dedicate their lives to treat the ill are doing so because they are humanitarians of the highest degree. But, when it comes to a hater of Jews, the oath does not matter.
2 weeks ago in Philadelphia, an Israeli catering-truck business called Moshava Philly was disinvited to a food event organized by the city of brotherly love after allegedly receiving threats of violence if they are allowed to participate.
Interview with Kingsborough Community College
Professor Jeffrey Lax, an Orthodox Jew, who recently resigned from CUNY's Union over a blatant antisemitic resolution accusing Israel of 'apartheid,' and calling for discussions about potential support for BDS. During the interview, Professor Lax cited countless examples of antisemitism within the union, faculty, and hiring practices at the community college.
Opening monologue from the interview: On June 18, Professor Jeffrey Lax, resigned from the CUNY’s professor’s union over the passage by an overwhelmingly number of colleagues on an anti-Israel resolution.
In a recent column from The Jewish Press, the opening paragraph reads as follows:
'The 47-year-old Jewish professor of business at Kingsborough Community College in Brooklyn, N.Y., was appalled by a recent 83-34 vote by the Professional Staff Congress of CUNY on a June 10 resolution that condemns “the continued subjugation of Palestinians to the state-supported displacement, occupation and use of lethal force by Israel” and also “racism in all its forms including anti-Semitism, and recognizes that criticisms of Israel, a diverse nation-state, are not inherently anti-Semitic.”
Interview with award-winning journalist and Senior Editor-in-Chief of JNS, Jonathan Tobin, to discuss his recent column in The Federalist, 'If Ilhan Omar Was A Republican She'd Be Another Marjorie Taylor Greene.'
Jonathan cited the fear that Jewish Democrats in Congress feel in the face of the incessant antisemitic attacks promulgated by Squad members AOC, Ilhan Omar, Rashida Tlaib, and Ayanna Pressley, who hide behind gender and 'women of color' status to insulate themselves against criticism from Party leaders. Their blood-libeling of Israel has led to direct attacks against Jews in the streets of America. Further, Speaker of the House Nancy Pelosi accepted Ilhan Omar's 'clarification' where she compared the US and Israel to Hamas, ISIS, and other terrorist organizations. Omar stated, 'I was in no way equating terrorist organizations with democratic countries with well-established judicial systems.' But since Omar DOES NOT recognize Israel as either a democracy or a country with a 'well-established judicial system,' her 'apology' or 'clarification' was a ruse to push aback against Pelosi and her Jewish Democrat critics.
There have been multiple rallies in support of “Fighting antisemitism.” The rallies featured speakers from all backgrounds; Religious leaders, activists, and politicians from both sides of the political aisle.
The one thing they all had in common was their lack of a strong backbone. With all of the attacks against Jews in America and Israel; from academia, student government bodies trying to ram BDS resolutions down universities throats, to media unbalanced reporting on Israel, To Jews getting beat up in the streets of New York and L.A., to Israeli cargo ships being blocked from docking at US ports, to outright blatant attacks against Israel’s very legitimacy from powerful voices inside the United States Congress – Congresswomen focused primarily on Israel, who blood libel Israel in ways that would parallel Josef Goebbels, with accusations of apartheid, genocide, ethnic cleansing, and crimes against humanity – ALL intentional lies to delegitimize Israel and destabilize the US/Israel relationship, not one single speaker at these rallies had the guts to call out these people by name, so I will: Rashida Tlaib, Ilhan Omar, Alexandria Ocasio Cortez, and Ayanna Pressley – the leaders of the Hamas Caucus, who know that they are lying, but are so forceful in their lies, that leaders of their party, including long-time serving Jewish Democrats, like Chuck Schumer and Jerrold Nadler, are terrified to rebuke them, out of fear of being called sexists and racists, and even worse, the fear of being primaried by another radical progressive.

Interview with Carrie Severino, President of The Judicial Crisis Network, on the Biden Administration's Court Packing agenda.
Interview With Former British Commander, Colonel Richard Kemp: 'The IDF Is The Most Moral Army In The World.'
Here we are once again, Day 10, as Hamas and Palestinian Islamic Jihad are using Gaza’s civilian neighborhoods as launching pads to fire rockets indiscriminately into Israel. And right on cue, we have the reliable media outlets reporting about Israel’s “disproportionate response.” This is the fourth time since Israel withdrew from Gaza that Hamas started a war with Israel that they knew they could never win. But then again, “victory” against Israel was never their aim. Rather, their objectives are to rally the Muslim world, together with the UN and the Governments of the cowardly European nations against Israel.
What is different THIS time is that Hamas now has allies in the Halls of Congress starting with Rashida Tlaib, Ilhan Omar, and a former bartender named Alexandria Ocasio Cortez, who several years ago, while being interviewed on PBS’s Firing Line, admitted, “I’m not an expert on geo-politics…” recently Tweeted, “This is happening with the support of the United States.” As she and other radical progressives slammed the Biden Administration.
Today, we are honored once again to have one of the most sought-after experts on military conflict and the morality of defensive wars, Former British Military commander, Colonel Richard Kemp. Colonel Kemp’s unequivocal support and advocacy for the state of Israel and the IDF is unparalleled. In a video distributed by Prager University, the Colonel explains why the IDF is the most moral army in the world today.

NEW DETAILS EMERGED OVER THE MASS CASUALTIES AT MT. MERON ISRAEL during Interview with Avi Abelow from The Pulse of Israel Podcast, about the largest civilian casualty toll in Israel's history. According to media reports, At least 45 people were crushed to death and more than 150 people hurt, including many in critical condition, after midnight Thursday at a mass gathering to celebrate the Lag B’Omer holiday at Mount Meron, medics said. Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu called the incident “a terrible disaster,” promised a thorough investigation, and said that Sunday would be declared a day of national mourning.
According to Avi Abelow, witnesses reported telling police on the scene, prior to the tragedy, that they had to remove the exit barricades or there could be casualties and injuries, but their warnings and pleadings went unheeded.

Interview with Yonathan Arif, VP of CRIF, the umbrella group of France's
74 Jewish Organizations, to discuss the French judicial system, which
recently ruled that Kobil Treore, a 27 year-old Muslim man, could not be
tried for the brutal murder of Sarah Halimi, a 65 year-old Jewish
woman, because he was 'high' on marijuana at the time of the savage
attack, and could not be held criminally responsible. Yonathan educated
us about the current level of antisemitism in France, and that many of
their compatriots have joined with the proud Jewish community to condemn
and combat anti-Semitism. French President Macron has pushed for a new
law that would never again allow the courts to avoid prosecution for
criminals of such heinous crimes while under 'the influence' of drugs

4/08/2021 Interview with author Menachem Kaiser to discuss his book, Plunder: A Memoir of Family Property and Nazi Treasure. Menachem Kaiser’s brilliantly told story, woven from improbable events and profound revelations, is set in motion when the author takes up his Holocaust-survivor grandfather’s former battle to reclaim the family’s apartment building in Sosnowiec, Poland. Soon, he is on a circuitous path to encounters with the long-time residents of the building, and with a Polish lawyer known as “The Killer.” A surprise discovery—that his grandfather’s cousin not only survived the war, but wrote a secret memoir while a slave laborer in a vast, secret Nazi tunnel complex—leads to Kaiser being adopted as a virtual celebrity by a band of Silesian treasure seekers who revere the memoir as the indispensable guidebook to Nazi plunder. Propelled by rich original research, Kaiser immerses readers in profound questions that reach far beyond his personal quest. What does it mean to seize your own legacy? Can reclaimed property repair rifts among the living? Plunder is both a deeply immersive adventure story and an irreverent, daring interrogation of inheritance—material, spiritual, familial, and emotional.
