Bashar al-Assad and his father were brutal dictators who murdered hundreds of thousands of their own citizens if there was a whiff of an uprising or a challenge to their leadership. They joined forces with Jordan, Egypt, and a few other countries in 1967 believing that their combined might would wipe out the Jewish State. Instead, the entire Syrian Air Force was wiped out within days as Israel reclaimed the Golan and established a demilitarized zone between the two countries.

Now that the situation is getting closer to its conclusion, it will become crystal clear to what extent aspects of the post-October 7 battles were bungled by President Biden and his foreign policy advisors, who were torn between not wanting the terrorists to lose conclusively, while not wanting the Israelis to score a decisive victory.

The plan is to be in New York for the next few weeks waiting for a grandchild to make their way into the world, which is always an exciting event, b’shaah tovah. This week have weddings on two consecutive nights, one in Crown Heights and one in Monsey. Then, next week, as I already recounted last week, we have three dinner events, all in Manhattan at different venues. This is the season when so many of these events have to be squeezed into the space on the calendar between Thanksgiving and the end of the holidays.

Who checks the weather excessively? I guess we do and why do you think we do it? Is the weather going to change just because we have foreknowledge of it and can we possibly effect any kind of change over it? I’m sitting in the Florida sun at the start of this article. It’s …

Without a Jewish perspective on recent events, it’s easy to think that the world has gone mad—that everything has become chaotic, out-of-control, and scary. But it’s important to understand the story as it really is. We are witnessing a process with a clear direction and purpose. History is unfolding before our eyes: The Jewish people are returning to their ancestral land after 2,000 years of exile, and it’s not a simple process. We must teach the world to distinguish between good and evil, pure and impure. Whoever participates in this mission will be blessed, but those who interfere will be relegated to the trash heap of history. סיון רהב מאיר - Sivan Rahav Meir

By Sivan Rahav Meir None of us is going to miss Bashar Assad who escaped from Syria the other day, but what exactly is going on here?

Wednesday, is the 10th of Kislev, the day when the Mitteler Rebbe, Rav Dovber, the second Rebbe of Lubavitch, was freed from Czarist incarceration in 1826. He was arrested due to false accusations about sending money to the Turks, which was obviously false as he was sending tzedakah to his Chassidim living in Chevron, Israel. The night they came to arrest him, the 28th of Tishrei, he was at home in Lubavitch and before he left on the fifty-mile journey to the regional capital of Vitebsk for interrogation, his household was hysterical with crying, screaming, and fainting. But the Rebbe himself? He was calm and unfazed, welcoming people for private “yechidus” and writing a Chassidic discourse. Did he not realize that he was in danger? Of course he did, but that doesn’t change who we are when we have only one master: HaKadosh Baruch Hu. It is said that “one heart cannot have two masters.” Chabad Lubavitch HQ

Musings Of A Shliach From Montana One look at the news and you know it’s chaotic. Syria’s President Assad was overthrown and the rebels are now in control. Romania’s election was canceled by the EU due to claims of Russian interference and they don’t like the guy who’s ahead in the polls. ...

Rabbi Shaye Schonbrun, former General Studies Principal at HANC High School, described HANC under Rabbi Fendel as “an educational utopia, an ideal place to learn and work.” HANC High School

By Rabbi Eli Slomnicki It is nearly impossible to capture the multifaceted legacy of Rabbi Meyer Fendel, z’l, in a single article. He was a man who harmonized seemingly disparate worlds: Olam Hayeshivot with Tzionut, the Mussar Movement with the teachings of Rav Kook, classical yeshiva study with ...

One time, while in public, she handed him her sweater to get “help” in dressing her, while there were plenty of women around if she was actually in need of help. Baila Sebrow Events, LLC.

Question There’s a shadchan that’s been exceedingly chummy with a boy she likes. He told me that she let him know she has a crush on him and she told him that hugging isn’t a problem because she’s older. I didn’t think much of it until I realized recently that these two have a serious …
