Rockets, resilience, and children during war
That time a siren rang out and we danced in the safe room… and that other time we were in the park and the 9-year-old made sure we were all safe

The Case for the Jewish People
Every Yom Kippur we make our closing arguments to G-d to seal us and all of Israel in the Book of Life. It is a daunting task, trembling before the one true judge and humbly acknowledging your sins while...
