If only the Knesset had been at the head of the ancient Babylonians and Romans, neither of our Temples would have fallen, because they would have been supplying so much food that we still would be eating it today with sacrifices at the Holy Temples
I teach a weekly class on Zoom every Sunday morning from 11:00 a.m. PDT through 12:30 pm, and I then post it on YouTube two hours later. (As of May 2025, now at 67 episodes.) The class is a current events class (with plenty of my commentary, mostly informative, some snarky) that covers news throughout the world that impacted Jews, particularly those in America and Israel, during the prior week. It started when I was in the hospital recovering from my lung transplant, so could not do much else, but it hit a nerve (as well as some alveoli) and became a small hit, so I keep doing it. It seems, for better and worse, that there always is more than too much to cover each week. I cover Israel’s eight-front war (Gaza, Syria, Lebanon, Judea-Samaria, Yemen, Iran, European Union antisemitism, and, lehavdil, the Leftwing Israel Deep State), make sure to include some latest hit songs out of Israel, and throw in some human interest and humor.
One of the ongoing matters that arises week after week is the Gaza Famine Fraud.
There is no famine in Gaza. If anything, send them Ozempic. They started a war, massacred 1,200 innocent people, mostly Israeli “Peace at Any Cost” leftists who chose to live near Gaza so they could befriend their “cousins” across their “friendly” Gaza border, send them gifts of love and appreciation, shuttle them to Israeli hospitals, hire them, and bring them into their homes and families. (There also were some Orthodox kibbutzim comprised of Torah observers who lived a great mitzvah in reclaiming the Land of Israel as far south as they could.)
