In what can only be described as a tremendous modern day miracle, Iran launched cruise and ballistic missiles as well as drones, with the intent of destroying so many innocent lives, and yet, 99% of them never made it to the Holy Land. We discuss some of the reactions around the world as well as Israel's potential retaliation.

While there aren't any flight stories this week, we do touch on the presidential campaign, German janitors...

It's easy to forget that in addition to the hostages still trapped in Gaza (may Hashem bring them home soon) for thousands of Israelis that survived the invasion, October 7th is still fresh in their minds, and has upended their lives.

In this candid conversation, Ron Segev, a survivor from the infamous Nova Festival massacre tells us of his harrowing tale of fear, opportunity, and redemption.

As the world awaits the coming solar eclipse, our Rabbis teach that solar eclipses are a bad sign for the world.  As the war continues, Israel attacks an Iranian building in Syria, accidentally hits aid volunteers in Gaza, and the pro-Hamas crowd continues their worldwide attack against Jews. With the world on edge, New York takes the time to ignore it all and go after Matzoh bakeries (of course.)

All this and the usual banter abou...

It's hard to overstate the impact that Renewal has had on Klal Yisrael. It's only been some years ago where needing a kidney and waiting on the transplant list was akin to a death sentence. Today as Renewal celebrates its 1,000th transplant, we sit with Mendy Reinder, Renewal's Founder to discuss its past, present and future.

We also use the opportunity to touch on some of the health issues in the news that we haven't had a chance ...

As the IDF continues with its war in Gaza, they battle in schools, destroy more tunnels, and have eliminated several major Hamas and Hizbollah commanders.  At the same time, the Israeli government discusses voluntarily resettling Palestinians out of the country, and forcing ministers to take lie-detector tests. Underscoring all of it is the continuing anti-Semitism which is rife around the country and around the world and we bring ...

The war in Israel continues, with new developments (that the press and the crazy leftist anti-Semites will ignore) coming in daily. Tunnels continue to be uncovered and bags of cash make their entrance in Gaza, while the rest of the world starts pushing the "cease-fire" narrative. Never fear however, as we bring you the usual healthy dose of wild animal stories and renegade Shedim.
