The Hostage Deal—Success or Surrender?

The 33 hostages scheduled for release in the first phase of the hostage deal

How Far Are You Willing to Go For Israel?

The hostage deal in Israel tears our hearts.

I want to share with you an incredible pearl—extracted from this week’s Torah portion—that guides us today like a lighthouse in tempestuous waters. The Torah tells us how our ancestors were enslaved in Egypt with little prospect of salvation. For hundreds of years they languished—the situation was hopeless. When Moses was sent by G-d to lead the people to freedom, a staggering 80% of them were left behind! Our sages explain that only those 20% who had trusted in G-d—those who believed in the redemption—were allowed to experience it. In a self-fulfilling prophecy, the cynics, scoffers, and atheists who refused to believe in the impending miracle did not stick around to experience it.
