Purim Has a Drinking Problem One of the most joyous holidays in the jewish tradition is Purim, but it also has a dark side. Purim has a drinking problem.

As we approach Purim, I want to share my thoughts about the use of alcohol:

If you haven’t read the book, here’s the list from his newsletter.

IDF says it has located and identified the body of final slain hostage Ran Gvili in Gaza Gvili's body being brought back to Israel * Tourism ministry develops plan to evacuate some 42,000 tourists in event of new Iran war * Yemen's Houthi rebels threaten new Red Sea attacks as US aircraft...

They’re all home.
There are no more hostages.

Barukh ata Hashem, matir asurim.
Blessed is God, who returns the bound.

I just want to cry from relief.

עד החטוף האחרון, עד עכשיו.

Any particular questions about mezuzah?

Rabbi Jeremy Markiz received 85,000 videos on Youtube.

I know it is silly, but I'm all about celebrating small wins.

Here are the next videos I'm planning on releasing in the near future.

2. How to light Shabbat candles
3. How to recite Shabbat Kiddush

The Trump-Vance admin is exactly what they said they were going to be.

Cruel.

ICE is a manifestation of that cruelty.
It cannot remain.
