Beyond the Headlines: From Destruction Comes New Life
“If the enemy already dug the pit for us, why not use it for planting?”
In the crater left by a rocket, the people of Kerem Shalom planted a tree.
From every hole, they grew new life.
That is the legacy we choose.

Derech Eretz Corner: When RIGHT is WRONG
“The words feel heavy in my throat,
Like wearing 100 pound winter coat.
I want to say, ‘It wasn’t me!’
Or, ‘You just didn’t see!’
But deep inside, I know,
Only truth will help me grow.
Saying ‘sorry’ isn’t small—
It’s brave, it’s strong, it’s the ONLY call.
It opens hearts and clears the air,
And shows the world you really care.”
Before you speak, ask yourself:
Will this help or hurt?
Would I rather be right, or happy?
When RIGHT is WRONG.

Mamdani’s victory reminds Jews that comfort can breed complacency. Political landscapes shift quickly; engagement and vigilance remain essential. Safety in exile is always conditional, Israel is the anchor of Jewish survival.
