Todays Show is Dedicated in loving memory to
Miriam Escobar Saavedra

“Her kindness and dedication to helping poor people showed us all the path to G-d and heaven”

Her giving of charity and kindness followed G-d and opened the gates of heaven by helping many poor Columbian people. Myriam gave away much of her own food and money, insisting on giving it all to help poor people. She gave all she had to help the poor people of Columbia. Myriam taught her family Jewish values, ensured that her daughters married Jewish American men and kept being Jewish alive in the remote mountains of Colombia. The dream of making aliyah is alive. Myriam, we all love you and miss you and happy will be the day when we will see you again when G-d calls us home. The memory of Myriam Escobar Saavedra will live on as an example of charity, goodness and kindness. May her memory be a blessing to all our family.

-Husband Edilberto Escobar, daughters Miriam del Pilar Greenberg and Maria Fernanda Lerhaupt, son John Jairo Escobar, sons-in-law Mark David Greenberg and Robert Lerhaupt

The Alarming Rise of Anti-Semitism in the U.S. and Around the World…

Written by Marty Roberts on August 12, 2010 – 1:32 pm -

G-d’s Method of Encouraging Aliyah Immigration to Israel?…

Anti-Zionism=Anti-Semitism

Anti-Zionism=Anti-Semitism

The anti-semitic attacks continue to rise…vandalism, assault, bombs, verbal abuse…

Oliver Stone

Oliver Stone


People are not afraid to verbalize their Jew-hatred in the grandest, most public of forums…minimal criticism…zero outrage…as emphasized by Oliver Stone’s recent Sunday Times interview…

What is this about? What is the reason? Is their a Divine purpose, or are humans just repugnant creatures?

Marty Roberts offers some ideas that may upset you…

Also…It’s “go-into-the-army season” in Israel…

Some interesting stories…

Cpl Elinor Joseph

Like Corporal Elinor Joseph…Israel’s First female Arab combat soldier…

She’s Christian, but an Arab, all the same…

And military service in the Israeli Army for soldiers with “special needs”….

The IDF is the world’s most humane fighting force, without a doubt…

Sderot Shelter Exhibition

Sderot Shelter Exhibition

Plus…Artists 4 Israel bring the “bomb Shelter experience” of Sderot, Israel to East Hampton, New York, USA…

Listen to how this group brings the reality of 10,000+ missile and rocket attacks to life in this posh American community…

The answer seems quite apparent…

Listen well to the show…

noah's ark

The world was given a chance to repent during the time the ark was being built, but no way…

Everyone off the ark…

And check out the rainbow…the sign of the rainbow means I (G-d) won’t wipe out the world with a flood again…Remember that!!!

Well, it was only Noah, his wife, their three sons and their families…

Oh, and lots of animals, too!!!

The Re-Population of the World Begins

First, everyone was descendants of Noah and Co…

Until after Abraham, Isaac and Jacob…

G-d changed Jacob’s name to “Israel”, and all of HIS (Jacob/Israel’s) kids became us Jews, the “Children of Israel”…

The rest of you guys stayed the “Children of (Bnei in Hebrew) Noah”

We Have Different Requirements to Fulfill in This World

The Jews Have the 613 Mitzvot/Laws/Commandments of the Torah
