Atar Hadari Mosaic Magazine, Sept. 16, 2013 “The festivals of the Jewish year form a chain. Rosh Hashanah is a wake-up call: ten days later, on Yom Kippur, you will be required to account for yourself. And at the end of the long Yom Kippur fast, you are required not to rush off and stuff […]
Dr. Dafna Langgut The Torah.com, Sept. 23, 2021 “The earliest archaeological evidence for the cultivation of the tree outside Persia is in a garden in Ramat Rahel—nowadays part of west Jerusalem but in that period a Persian administrative center near Jerusalem—in a stratum dated to the 5th/4th century B.C.E.” The Torah mentions four plant species in connection […]

Ron Ben Ishai Ynet News, Oct. 2, 2022 “Any attempt to target the Karish rig would have caused a massive Israeli military response that would have further burdened Lebanon, which is already a failed state, suffering from economic crisis.“ Even at this stage, while the details of the pending agreement to end […]
Tony Badran FDD, September 22, 2022 “If a border agreement is finalized, the Biden administration will have set a terrible precedent by leveraging Hezbollah threats to secure Israeli concessions that enrich and empower a U.S.-designated terrorist organization.” Israel and Lebanon are apparently close to a final agreement delineating their maritime border after […]
Caroline Glick JNS, Oct. 4, 2022 “During his visit to Israel in July, just days after Hezbollah’s drone attacks on Karish, Biden upped U.S. pressure on Israel to conclude a deal with Lebanon and so enable the Hezbollah-controlled Lebanese government to begin raking in billions of dollars in gas revenues from the Qana field.
