My talented friend @MichaelPack_ has produced a great documentary about the lockdown dissidents & the silencing of science during the covid pandemic.

So much harm caused by the lockdowns, school closures, and mandates could have been avoided.

I'm working now to reform public health and science so nothing like that ever happens again.

If you think Easter is nonsense, you’re not alone.

This morning in my Easter reading, something hit me.

In Luke, when the women came back from the empty tomb and told the eleven what they saw, Scripture says the disciples thought it was nonsense.

And honestly, if any of us witnessed a brutal, violent death like Jesus’, we’d probably call it nonsense too if someone told us that person was alive again.

But here’s the part we miss:

At the tomb, the angels didn’t give the women a new revelation. They said:

“Remember how He told you, while He was still in Galilee, that the Son of Man must be delivered into the hands of sinful men, be crucified, and on the third day rise.”

They weren’t announcing something new.
They were reminding them of something Jesus had already said.

Which puts the disciples’ reaction in a different light.
We don’t know if they forgot His words or simply didn’t believe them — but either way, they didn’t receive them.

Then in John, we read that later that same day — Sunday night, after Mary had already told them the news that morning — the disciples were behind a locked door out of fear. They heard the message, but it didn’t move them.

Jesus appears to them, shows them His hands and His side, breathes peace on them… and you’d think that would settle it.

But eight days later?
They’re back behind a locked door when Jesus appears to Thomas.

We give Thomas the nickname “Doubting Thomas,” but the truth is:
all of them doubted.
All of them hid.
All of them called it nonsense.
All of them stayed behind locked doors.

And here’s the detail we forget:

In Matthew, Jesus had already told the women to tell the disciples:

“Go to Galilee, and there they will see Me.”

Meaning — staying in that room for over a week wasn’t just fear.
It was staying somewhere Jesus had already told them to leave.

They were supposed to be moving toward Him.
Instead, they were hiding from the world.

But Jesus — in grace — walked through the locked door anyway.

So here’s the message this Easter:

If you think the idea of God becoming man, dying for your sins, and rising three days later is nonsense — you’re standing exactly where His own disciples stood.

If you believe Jesus can move in other people’s lives but you still keep yourself behind a locked door of fear, shame, doubt, or self‑protection — the disciples were right there too.

But Easter is your invitation.

This can be the year you leave the room Jesus already told you to leave.
This can be the moment you step out of fear, out of hiding, out of the locked places — and go where He’s calling you.

Whatever your locked door is — fear, doubt, sin, shame, disappointment, control — Jesus is appearing to you the same way He appeared to them.

Not to scold you.
Not to shame you.
But to say:

“Peace be with you.
You don’t have to stay here.
Come meet Me where I’m calling you.”

Captain Roy Nahari served as a team leader in the 202nd Battalion of the Paratroopers Brigade.

On October 7th, he fought bravely alongside his soldiers all the way to Kibbutz Kfar Aza, engaging in fierce, close-quarters combat with terrorists as they moved from house to house, determined to save lives and halt the massacre.

After many hours of relentless fighting and under heavy fire, Roy and his team successfully rescued over 40 families from the kibbutz.

Tragically, Roy sustained severe injuries and passed away two days later, surrounded by his loving parents, Iris and Ronen, his twin brother Bar, who also serves in the 202nd Battalion, his younger sister Rotem, and his younger brother Omer.

At just 23 years old, his family honored his wishes by donating his organs to five patients in urgent need, saving lives even in his death and leaving a profound void behind.

Roy was a quiet leader, a heroic officer, and a beloved son and brother, deeply cherished by his soldiers.

We will always remember you, Roy, with love and longing.💔

Widow here ✋🏻 happy to explain…

When my husband passed away I was a shell of a person - I describe that first year after he was gone as mostly an out of body experience - I was doing things like taking our son to school and working, but I was not “there”…I was present in body only…just going through the motions and trying to process my grief on the outer edges of life’s regular demands.

When the men he worked with - who loved him and would have happily laid down in traffic for him - hugged me it was exactly like this. A full and complete embrace. It was like a breath of life that gave me enough strength to make it through another day…

I remember on the day of his funeral - as each one of those men - his bothers in arms - showed up and hugged me like this - it was the thing that gave me the strength to endure that day.

So, when I see Erika hugging the men who miss her husband as much as she does, I can feel it- and I am so grateful she has these moments of reprieve from the crushing heartache of losing him.

Hope this helps

It’s the story of a young man who suffered more than a human heart can bear - his name was Sahar.

He was at home when the terrorists infiltrated Kibbutz Be’eri on October 7. They threw grenades into his house. His brother, Idan, was wounded by shrapnel, and Sahar tried to help him. Then the terrorists set the house on fire. Sahar tried to escape through the window with Idan, but the terrorists caught them. Idan was shot in the head and murdered on the spot. Sahar was kidnapped to Gaza.

At that same moment in the kibbutz, the terrorists also murdered their grandmother - Geula. In Gaza, Sahar was tortured without mercy. They forced him to sit in front of a camera and beg, "Release me". When the camera was turned off, they murdered him with unimaginable cruelty. They mutilated his body, filmed it, and released the video to the world. His parents had to watch that same video - knowing they had lost both of their sons and their mother in a single day.

This is the story of Sahar - a young man with starry eyes and a mischievous smile, who had his whole life ahead of him. Sahar, who endured more pain than anyone ever should - and who will never come home. His body is still being held by Hamas in Gaza

This is his last picture.

“Rom was pressured to convert to Islam. They told him he would be compensated with food if he converted,”

Tami, the mother of Rom Braslavski, said her son was held in multiple locations, including places where the bodies of hostages were kept.

During his two years in captivity under Palestinian Islamic Jihad, Rom was repeatedly pressured to convert in exchange for food, but he always refused. The moment he returned home, he put on his tefilin.

Tami added that Rom was violently beaten and tortured by PIJ, subjected to physical and psychological abuse, and denied basic hygiene.

In the days before his release, his captors force-fed him, leaving lasting effects on his health.

They also tried to manipulate him with lies, claiming Iran had bombed Israel, that the country was nearly destroyed, buildings had collapsed, and some 3,000 soldiers were dead.

They even showed him images of Hostages Square in Tel Aviv, telling him his photo wasn’t there, that no one was talking about him and his family was too broken to protest.

Now that Rom is home, he can’t stop looking out the window. “Rom stands at the window looking at the sky. He says all he wants is the sky, sun, and air — freedom.”

Eden Nimri bravely fought Hamas on October 7th on her own, still in her pajamas, as she stood at the entrance of a bomb shelter to protect those inside.

Hamas threw grenades, and she shielded the others, saving 11 girls.

Eden was only 22. Her bravery will never be forgotten.

#October7massacre

[Arsen Ostrovsky @Ostrov_A]

This is Hadar & Itai Berdichevsky, 30, with their beautiful twins.

On Oct 7, 2023, Hadar & Itai were murdered by Hamas terrorists, who stormed their home in Kfar Aza, as they heroically tried to protect their 10-month-old babies.

The children miraculously survived alone in the house for over 12 hours before being rescued by a Golani battalion, where Itai had served as a company commander.

These children will now have to grow up without their parents, but will always know their love and heroism.

May Hadar and Itai's memories be a blessing.

[Sia Kordestani @SiaKordestani]

To this day, I have not seen someone articulate what October 7 meant for the Jewish people and Israel better than @ChrisCuomo in this 5 min segment.

This was right after he saw raw footage of Hamas mass murdering Israeli children and women with glee. 10/7 deniers are evil.

[Inbar Cohen @InbarCohen13]

When terrorists attacked the Nova music festival on October 7, Ben Shimoni, 31, managed to escape.
But instead of saving only himself, he turned back - not once, but three times(!) to rescue others who were trapped under fire.

On his third return, he was murdered by Hamas terrorists.

Because of his courage, at least 13 people are alive today.

Ben was a man who built, loved, and lived for others, and in his final moments, he proved that the spirit of Israel cannot be broken.

🕯️ Remember Ben Shimoni. Remember October 7. Never forget.

[Kosher @koshercockney]

Palestinian Terrorists burned them alive on October 7th.

Today, two years on, we remember themㅌ

The Siman-Tov children were burned alive with their parents, Johnny and Tamar, by Gazan terrorists.

These are 6-year-old twin girls Shahar and Arbel with their little 2-year-old brother Omer.

Just in case you forgot why Israel is fighting this war.

“They’re here. They’re burning us” the father Johnny text his sister.

May their memories, along with parents Johnny and Tamar be a blessing 🕯️
