An Eye on Zion: Kochav Yaakov

Just over a century later, a group of devout pioneers sharing the same love and passion for the Land of Israel, founded a new community just north of Jerusalem.

The Price We Pay for Caring

What an emotional roller-coaster! Last Sunday and again this past Saturday, we waited with baited breath to see which hostages would be released and what they would look like. It had been more than a year since the last hostage release, and no one knew what their condition would be.

EDUCATING YOUNG PIONEERS On the eighth night of Hanukkah in 1975, thousands of young, ambitious pioneers gathered at an abandoned railroad near Sebastia, the site of the ancient Israelite city that bore the name “Samaria,” with one goal in mind—to finally begin rebuilding Samaria. They knew if one community was established in Samaria, many others … Read more

Vaera (And I Appeared) – Exodus 6:2 – 9:35

Welcome to the last portion of the book of Genesis! On the surface Portion VaYechi may seem less exciting than the ones from the previous weeks. But as one dives deeper there are whispers of prophecy and hints of mysticism to be found.
