6+ min ago (852+ words) Qassim Hamadeh woke to the sounds of gunfire and explosions in his village of Beit Jin in southwestern Syria last month. Within hours, he had lost two sons, a daughter-in-law and his four-year-old and 10-year-old grandsons. The five were among 13 villagers killed that day by Israeli forces. Israeli troops had raided the village " not for the first time " seeking to capture, as they claimed, members of a militant group planning attacks into Israel. Israel said militants opened fire at the troops, wounding six, and that troops returned fire and brought in air support. Hamadeh, like others in Beit Jin, dismissed Israel's claims of militants operating in the village. The residents said armed villagers confronted Israeli soldiers they saw as invaders, only to be met with Israeli tank and artillery fire, followed by a drone strike. Syrian government called it a…...

33+ min ago (192+ words) A group of Levites, including one originally from Bondi, Australia, ascended the Temple Mount on Monday, the first day of Hanukkah. At the holiest site to the Jewish people, they sang a passage from the Hanukkah liturgy in memory of the victims of the horrific terror attack in Sydney and in solidarity with the Jewish community of Australia. The Levites sang the final verse of the song "Maoz Tzur," traditionally recited while lighting Hanukkah candles, as a message of strength and Jewish unity between Jerusalem and the Jewish Diaspora. Beyadenus' guides accompanied the ascent as part of the organization's ongoing efforts to strengthen the living, national connection to the Temple Mount. Akiva Ariel, Acting CEO of the Beyadenu movement, said: "On Hanukkah, the festival of light and heroism, the song of the Levites on the Temple Mount takes on an…...

40+ min ago (438+ words) HaRav Dov Begon is Head of Yeshivat Machon Meir in Jerusalem. On Hanukkah, it is customary to thank the Holy One, Blessed be He for the miracles, and to add in the Amidah prayers and in Grace After Meals: "You delivered the mighty into the hands of the weak, and the many into the hands of the few" The spark that succeeds in burning all the enemies of Israel is the spark of holiness, the spark of truth and faith, as explained by the Baal Maor VaShemesh (Parashat Vayeshev). In addition to their great devotion to truth and their bravery of faith, the Maccabees were heroes of holiness and this is what safeguarded them and led them to victory. In our time, the "flax merchant with the camels" alludes to the many enemies threatening the People of Israel, while the…...

52+ min ago (600+ words) Home " Miracles and heroes in many shapes this Chanukah I was watching the news the other morning and was impressed by a brief commercial inviting Israelis to celebrate Hanukkah in Jerusalem. Having just returned from a four-week speaking tour in the US, Chanukah came up a lot, though not in the way you might think." The military victory is all the more relevant now, two years into a horrific war thrust on us, and after the announcement of a recent discovery, providing additional archaeological and historic evidence of the Chanukah story and a fierce battle between the Maccabees and the Greeks some 2200 years ago. The recent archaeological discovery took place just a few miles from my home in the Judean mountains, the site of one of the major battles during which Elazar, the son of Judah Maccabee, was crushed to…...

53+ min ago (277+ words) At Bondi Beach, as Sydney's Jewish community gathered to celebrate Hanukkah the Festival of Light marking the sacred first night by kindling the first candle of the menorah, an unspeakable act of terror shattered a moment meant for joy, faith, and communal warmth. While earlier attacks on synagogues in August revealed the hidden hand of Tehran's theocratic terror regime, the immediate hours following this crime have not yet formally tied the Bondi Beach atrocity to the Islamic Republic. Still, the ideological fingerprints of Islamist terror anti-Jewish hatred sanctified by dogma are unmistakable. Before the eyes of the world, the vampire-like despot of Tehran, Ali Khamenei, has created and cultivated multiple Islamist terrorist groups to form a ring of fire around Israel the sacred homeland of the Jewish people. The playbook of Khomeini and Khamenei has always been the same: hostility…...

1+ hour, 3+ min ago (242+ words) Hundreds of sacred Jewish books that were damaged and burned in a fire at the historic Sadigora Hasidic synagogue in Ukraine were laid to rest this week in a special burial ceremony held in the city. The blaze erupted last week at the synagogue known as the "Kloiz Kadisha," a 200-year-old structure that served for generations as a central spiritual hub of Hasidic life. Initial findings raised suspicions that the fire was the result of an antisemitic arson attack. An emergency delegation led by the Rebbe of Sedigora, Rabbi Mordechai Shalom Yosef Friedman, arrived at the site following the fire. Together with members of the local Hasidic community, the remains of burned Torah scrolls and other holy books were gathered and buried near the synagogue, in a solemn ceremony accompanied by prayers and supplications.
