Passover Spring…Why Israel is the Best Place to Be…And Why It’s Likely to Stay That Way (BTW, it’s not too shabby for Easter, either)…

Written by Marty Roberts on April 11, 2012 – 12:47 pm -

The so-called Arab Demographic Time Bomb threatening the Jewish nature of the State of Israel is nothing more than a big old dud…

touring israel

From the joy of the seder night, to touring Israel’s National Parks and historic sites…

From the north of the country to the south…


jerusalem ramparts old city

And then, there’s Jerusalem…Walking the ramparts of the Old City…


ice city jerusalem

or visiting the once-in-a-lifetime Ice City…


priestly blessing passover

And nowhere else is the Priestly Blessing delivered more authentically…


easter in jerusalem

All this is dependent upon Israel remaining the Jewish State…But because we are a secular, democratic Jewish State, all religions are free to celebrate their faith here, including the Christian Easter in Jerusalem…


demographic bomb

The Left will have you believe that if we do not create a separate palestinian state, they will overwhelm the Jewish nature of Israel…This is simply not true, as I explain in today’s show (thanks to the wonderful work of retired ambassador Yoram Ettinger)

welcome to Israel

Israeli author A. B. Yehoshua made some interesting and controversial statements in a speech delivered last week in the U.S. He seriously questions the ability for some one to be a “complete” Jew while still living in the diaspora…A secular, but very Jewish point of view.

A. B. Yehoshua

An exploration of A. B. Yehoshua’s speech…What was he saying?…What did he mean?…Why?


aliyah-israel

Why should Jews live in Israel? (other than the fact that it’s a pretty good place to live, these days)…The Torah-Commandment, religiously observant point of view vs. the purely secular, zionist argument…And what did Ramban (Nachmanides) and other talmudic sages have to say about this issue?


Plus…A. B. Yehoshua and the Holocaust…Was it an unavoidable, tragic event in history, or was the Holocaust a “Jewish failure”?

Also…some comments about the murders of innocent Israeli children and their father in France, an ongoing story…

Israeli Women in Black…Jews and Muslims Alike…Covered From Head to Toe in Black Sheets

With more and more women in Israel covering themselves from head to toe in black burkas, it would be a good time to look at what this phenomenon is all about.

What are the implications for Muslim women?…


jewish taliban

And what about the small cult of “Jewish Taliban” that seem to be imitating the ways of Islam? Any basis in Jewish law for such uber-modest dress in Jewish women, married and unmarried alike?

A look at the history and current status of the cult of Jewish “Veiled Women”…
