From what I’ve heard from Ron Dermer, Israel’s Ambassador to the United States on a conference call with Pastor John Haggie 7/10/14 , sponsored … More PUBLIC ADVOCACY: Christians United for Israel and my thoughts on Cease Fire

PUBLIC ADVOCACY: Stand with Israel

July 13, 2014

This is what’s happening on the ground in Israel. Hamas targets Israeli civilians for destruction. Israeli citizens have 60 sec to respond, get to the nearest bomb shelter and wait for the all clear signal to return to normal life. When Israel bombs Gaza, they text the Hamas leadership and others to clear the population … More PUBLIC ADVOCACY: Stand with Israel

PUBLIC ADVOCACY: An Update on Operation Protective Edge

July 10, 2014

You can overplay your hand. What do I mean? Yesterday morning, 7/9/14, I listened to WNYC while they were interviewing a spokesman for Hamas. I don’t know the names of either the interviewer or the spokesperson, but we were horrified by his candid description of his ideological beliefs. He was asked about the kidnapping and … More PUBLIC ADVOCACY: An Update on Operation Protective Edge

PUBLIC ADVOCACY: Why I’m proud to be a Jew

May 19, 2014

For some of us,  Israel  embodies our spirit.   The stiff necked people, proud, strong, who are not afraid to question anything and anyone! Nothing,  no topic is sacred, not even God’s word.  That’s why, we are told,  God loved the simple shepherd, who questioned his word. Perhaps that’s why I have embraced Judaism, no other … More PUBLIC ADVOCACY: Why I’m proud to be a Jew
