Is the Arab terrorist alone to be blamed for the deaths of the seven Jews on Friday?  If you let a child molester sleep in your home, should you be surprised if you wake up to discover that your child is molested?  And if, after your child was molested, you're crazy enough to continue to let the molester sleep in your home, who's really to blame if your child is molested again – you or the molester?

January 24, 2023 03:01 - 3 minutes - 1.74 MB

Modern-day nations – Israel chief among them – avoid harming 'innocent civilians.'  But do such people exist?  If they did, why did G-d punish the Egyptians as a collective?  After all, the plagues affected every Egyptian, not just the guilty.  Indeed, the Plague of the Firstborn even affected foreign captives in Egyptian jails according to the Midrash!

Why Adultery Is Illegal in 16 U.S. States

January 17, 2023 08:46 - 4 minutes - 1.9 MB

'It's not our place to impose Torah values on American society.'  This often-voiced argument is based on ignorance of American history.  America was built on Torah values (which explains why adultery is illegal in 16 U.S. states).  All we're doing is trying to preserve it.  It's the secular left – not the religious right – that imposes its values on the rest of America.

January 16, 2023 01:28 - 41 minutes - 18.2 MB

With social media opening the eyes to the world about issues that were previously unknown to others, it has been normalized to those who in the past used to suffer silently. One of those issues is abuse. That word is now not just an issue of human interest, but it has become politicized too. Abuse of all types has also evolved into sociopolitical attitudes.  Regardless of what anyone says, and regardless of who the victim is…Abuse has a powerful effect on the victim, not just while the abu...

The many unanswered questions in the Biden document scandal

January 15, 2023 18:33 - 33 minutes - 14.7 MB

The White House version of the 'Garage-gate' scandal is filled with lies, glaring omissions, and contradictions.  Why were Biden's lawyers cleaning out a closet if they were unaware about classified documents being stored? Shouldn't it have been a cleaning crew? Or did they in fact know there were secret docs hidden? Why does the WH keep lying about the number of documents found? What information was in the documents? How were they still finding MORE documents in the garage this past week...

Is a Girl Sitting in Your Son's Classroom Without Your Knowledge?

January 03, 2023 03:26 - 2 minutes - 1.12 MB

Lechi was an underground movement committed to expelling the British from the Promised Land in the 1940s.  But it was also much more than that.  It wanted a Jewish state from the Nile to the Euphrates and a Beis HaMikdash at its center.  And it was unyielding.  When Ben-Gurion shot at the Altalena, for example, Menachem Begin backed down; Lechi wanted to fight back.  In this interview, Zev Golan,  translator of the memoirs of one of Lechi's leaders, discusses this fascinating group.
