Righteousness and evil are not character traits determined in advance or by heredity, but lie rather in the hand of each one of us.

Day 405 of my 3 day war. I invaded Ukraine to move NATO further away from Russia but ended up with Finland joining it & doubling my border with the alliance.
I remain a master strategist.
5 rockets were fired from Gaza at Israel tonight. 4 of them were intercepted by the IDF Aerial Defense Array.
Following the additional sirens that sounded, 4 rockets were launched from Gaza and landed in open areas.
Simply beyond words!
This is a video of Karen Abelman, an IDF soldier, who just finished her geirus (conversion) to join the Jewish People.
Her genuine emotion while saying Shema is palpable, and it’s inspiring to see such love for Hashem, Torah, and Klal Yisrael.
There’s no question that bring Jewish is a responsibility; but it’s also the greatest gift and opportunity imaginable.
(Thank you so much to Rabbi Aryeh Cohen and Sparks of a Nation for sharing this video!)
As we approach Pesach, it’s the time of the year when we re-experience the birth of the Jewish People as they left Egypt.
Pesach represents the time in history where we ALL joined the Jewish nation; and every year, we get to personally tap into that experience.
So this Pesach, let’s try to experience the deeper meaning and purpose of our mission as Jews, and how lucky we are to live a life of true freedom and truth.
How amazing is it to be a Jew?!
