Three generations dancing as one tonight at the annual Siyum at @YUHSB@YUNews My father, aka The REAL Rabbi Gluck, joined my boys and me to celebrate the completion of their learning, and dancing together as zaide, father, and sons was a zchus I won’t forget.
This is what we daven for. The Torah doesn’t just pass from one generation to the next, it lives in the dancing, in the joy, in the bond between a zaide and his einiklach.
A night of pure simcha. Mazel tov to all the boys on their incredible accomplishment!
At my niece’s wedding today, I had the privilege of meeting @ShaiDavidai and his wife Yardenne. Heroes don’t always wear uniforms, sometimes they carry their courage quietly into a wedding hall and remind you what Am Yisrael is made of. 🇮🇱
My son got inducted into Arista last night. He was asked to speak about someone who lives the values of leadership and service. He chose me, the guy who got thrown out of 14 high schools. He also talked about @AmudimOrg and the work we do every day.
To every parent watching their kid struggle, and to every kid who’s been written off: it can turn around. Sometimes your own son stands up one day and tells the story back to you.
Tonight, on Pesach Sheini, we were truly blessed with the extraordinary privilege of praying Maariv alongside the luminous and beloved Rabbi Edgar Gluck.
Rabbi Gluck, renowned & deeply revered by all, uplifted us as he made the blessings & counted Sfiras Haomer.
Congratulations to Aliza on her fifth reelection and to her entire slate on getting elected to the Mitzpe Yericho Va'ad (city council).
You've earned the respect and admiration of so many of us in all that you've accomplished over the past seven years of your leadership. Your dedication to the people of our Yishuv sets a model for all of us. We love you and look forward to all the wonderful growth our Yishuv will continue to experience in the years to come.
Congratulations!
“I almost didn’t call… I didn’t think I was worth anyone’s time.”
We hear that more than we should.
And it’s one of the most dangerous thoughts a person can carry.
You don’t have to be “fixed” to reach out.
You don’t have to have the words.
You just have to take one step.

EL AL Will Operate Special Flights for American Citizens Whose Flights from Israel Were Canceled
Thousands of American citizens whose flights back to the United States were canceled due to the war with Iran are currently staying in Israel.
As part of an arrangement between the U.S. Department of State, the U.S. Embassy in Jerusalem, and EL AL, beginning March 16, we will operate six non-stop flights from Tel Aviv to New York designated exclusively for American citizens. These flights are expected to depart at full capacity, subject to Government Approvals.
Starting Sunday morning, we will proactively contact American citizens holding valid EL AL flight tickets whose flights were canceled and have not yet been reassigned, and will offer them placement on these dedicated flights At No Additional Cost. We kindly request that all EL AL customers holding American citizenship complete the following Registration Website form: https://t.co/MD3OHvKJTg
We are prepared to expand the Flight Schedule for dedicated flights for American citizens, understanding that the current number of flights provides only a partial solution and does not meet the high demand. Any expansion of activity will be carried out Subject to additional Government Approvals.
We spend millions on buildings and almost nothing on the people breaking inside them. Watch this week’s Turning the Wheel and ask yourself, are we building a Mishkan, or just the building? @AmudimOrg
Turning the Wheel:
You can’t build a Mishkan with only some of the people.
Beautiful buildings mean nothing if people inside them are suffering in silence.
Every person has a piece to bring. Every person belongs.

When Rivki Rabinowitz asked Moran Stella Yanai - an artist and survivor of the October 7th attacks - how she balances not wanting to be defined by her experience as a hostage with speaking out publicly, Moran said: she remembers that version of herself. The one who cried, felt shame, and needed someone to look her in the eye and tell her it would be okay. So she became that person.
How beautiful is that? Watch the full conversation: https://t.co/Akv0a7sg3e
The Ayatollah’s fake rabbi, Dovid Weiss, is mourning his loss… of a paycheck.
Mr. Weiss, of the Iranian-backed Neturei Karta group, met me at City Hall when he sat on the floor in protest.
I got him to stand up and asked the “rabbi” why he denies the Holocaust!
