On today's Israel Uncensored, Josh Hasten reacts to an IDF report indicating that 9,000 Hamas terrorists have been killed so far in Gaza. Josh says "it's a good start," but Israel still has a long way to go in order to completely eradicate the evil Hamas terrorist regime. Even as the Biden administration is pressuring Israel to "tone down the war," Josh says that Israel must continue fighting until it achieves a complete victory.

While on holy guard duty, Yishai Fleisher discusses Spain's great moral failure and touches on the signs that God gave to Moses so that he could feel the pain of the Jewish people in bondage. Then, Yishai emcees the Sovereignty Conference in Jerusalem. Hear from Nadia Matar, Josh Hammer, MK Ohad Tal, Jeremy Gimpel, and more. Finally, Ben Bresky on the miraculous story of Ethiopian Aliyah.

The UN Watch organization reports that a Telegram group of 3,000 UNRWA (United Nations Relief and Works Agency) teachers in Gaza contained posts celebrating the October 7th massacre praising those responsible as "heroes." The teachers patted themselves on the back for the "education" they gave their students who grew up to become mass murderers. On today's Israel Uncensored, Josh Hasten says that Israel should once and for all throw UNRWA out of the country. Not only does UNRWA have a presence in Gaza, but they run Arab schools in Judea and Samaria, and in Jerusalem, just 10 minutes from the center of town. Bottom line - once and for all, UNRWA must go!

One Family Fund is an organization in Israel that supports and empowers all victims of terror along with soldiers wounded in battle. They also work with bereaved families so that they can achieve their emotional and financial independence and successfully reintegrate into society. Hundreds of volunteers and many professionals are the backbone of this 22 year old organization, established at the height of the terror wars. Executive Director Naomi Nussbaum joins Eve Harow to discuss the new, nearly overwhelming challenges they face since October 7th. One Family Fund Website: www.onefamilyfund.org

Rav Simcha Hochbaum grew up on Staten Island, in New York. Beginning in the second grade, when he heard about Avraham's Aliyah in Lech Lecha, he became focused on the idea of returning to the Land of Israel. He and his wife Leah were able to make that happen in 1995, moving to Hevron, the city of our forefathers and foremothers. Parents of six wonderful children, they still live in Hevron and that is where Goel sat to speak with Rav Simcha about his story.

Yishai and Malkah Fleisher are back and reflect on three months of the October 7th War including the killing of master terrorist Saleh al-Arouri, the political willingness to discuss voluntary emigration for Gaza Arabs, and the religious change - Teshuva - happening in the Land of Israel. Also, Ben Bresky on the amazing story of the Tekhelet blue string commandment. And finally, Table Torah on celebrating Jewish birth on the Torah portion and new book of Shemot.

Gabe Boxer is a financial wizard and the literal Kosher Guru. He, along with 30 other Americans, was on the One Israel Fund Solidarity Mission last week with Eve Harow. It was an intense 3 days spent visiting with Israelis of all types, feeding soldiers and refugees, volunteering, participating in security demos, visiting graves of fallen soldiers and so much more. After a day in the Shomron and another in Yehuda the group went south to the site of the Nova dance festival where so many were killed on October 7th, as well as a community that was infiltrated and where residents were murdered that same day. The unity, bravery and determination of Israelis is astonishing and for all, including Eve, it was an unforgettable experience. Gabe has been back and forth to Israel numerous times, doing great things for his people, but sadly concerned for the first time about the rising anti-semitism in the U.S. A wide ranging discussion with a devoted member of the tribe who uses his reach and resources to do good and to help eradicate the threats that face all of us.

As the clock struck midnight, and we entered 2024, Hamas made sure Israel knew that its rockets and missiles could still reach the center of the country. Around 20 rockets were fired last night, as Gazans cheered the projectiles on (innocent civilians?). Nevertheless, on today's Israel Uncensored, Josh Hasten says that Israel is winning the war, and that Hamas, its leaders, and supporters, must all be wiped off the face of the earth for the good of humanity.

Yishai Fleisher is on IDF guard duty again and discusses the Ten Front War and the three ways to understand the phrase "From the River to the Sea." Then, Tomer Ohayon has arrived in Israel to serve on reserve duty but left his family back on "shlichut" in NJ. Ben Bresky on the legendary Uzi sub-machine gun and it's inventor. Then, Brian Schrauger on dangerous narrative of "Christ at the Checkpoint." And finally, the end of the Book of Genesis and why Jacob was adamant on being buried the Tomb of the Ancestors.

Dr. Steve Herman has toured Israel with Eve Harow more than once. When he arrived with his wife in October, however, it was to volunteer his prolific skills as a thoracic surgeon at the Barzilai Hospital in Ashkelon near Gaza. He speaks about the experience, the life altering, devastating wounds suffered by healthy young people and the damage to so many lives due to the Hamas barbarism. Israel does not distinguish between military and civilian hospitals and the war has impacted all of society. Dr. Herman functioned professionally even while under rocket attacks and appreciated the devotion that all the staff- irrespective of religion or ethnicity- showed to the wounded. May he return to Israel only to visit the historical and Biblical sites he loves so much and not patch together broken bodies. With great thanks to him and all the other volunteers in so many areas who have stepped in to show solidarity with the Jewish state and give evil the blow it deserves. Together we will be victorious. The cost is just so so high….

On today's Israel Uncensored, Eve Harow joins Josh Hasten to discuss the latest from the war-front and to ask questions: Why is Israel sending humanitarian aid to her enemies during times of war? Why haven't any Arab or Muslim nations stepped up to take in their brethren from Gaza, as countries normally step up to assist those affected? Will enough clans in Gaza turn against Hamas, now that they see Hamas stealing food, water, fuel etc. for themselves? These questions and many more on today's podcast.

Malkah Fleisher grew up in Sherman, Texas, in a strongly Jewish but non-observant family – the only Jewish kid in her high school. Through various twists and turns, she finally arrived in Israel in 2003, and has been impacting the Jewish people ever since. Malkah’s story is fascinating and meaningful. Goel Jasper sat with Malkah recently in her Efrat home, to listen to her story, laugh, and even shed a tear as she told him about visiting the Kotel for the first time, bringing along with her all of her ancestors. It’s a description not to be missed.

Yishai Fleisher sits in a jeep on IDF reserve duty and yearns for a Jewish national wake up call. Ben Bresky on the alternative meanings of the Fast of the 10th of Tevet. And finally, Josh Waller calls on the nations to take part in the fight for Judea.

We are a people under siege, and when facing such a situation a hero has to learn to read the writing on the wall. This week Rav Mike Feuer gives a brief thought on the message of the 10th of Tevet.

Eve Harow speaks with Netanyahu’s former chief of staff (and her nephew), Ari Harow ([email protected]), on his new book ‘My Brother’s Keeper: Netanyahu, Obama and the Year of Terror and Conflict that changed the Middle East Forever.’ Originally written as a historical look at Israel in 2014 from someone who was at the time on the very inside of Israeli politics, the timing of the book’s release gives a deeper perspective and needed context on what’s happening in Israel since October 7th. The relationship with the US, internal Israeli issues and challenges, the wider focus on Iran and global Islamic Jihad are all there. Hamas’s kidnapping of the 3 boys set off a chain of events, including Operation Protective Edge in Gaza in 2014, which ended without a clear victory. And here we are today. This is an important and unique book and a must read for those searching for an understanding of critical decisions that were made nearly a decade ago that impact all of us in the present.

The IDF on Sunday displayed videos of a massive Hamas terror tunnel it discovered near the Erez Crossing, just 400 meters away from Israeli territory. On today's Israel Uncensored, Josh Hasten argues that Erez, which has been used as the only pedestrian entryway from Gaza to Israel, should be shut down. The Oct. 7 attacks taught us that terrorists in Gaza took advantage of Israel's humanitarian gestures - allowing Gazans to receive medical care in our hospitals, and also took advantage of work permits in Israel - to feed Hamas intelligence, which ultimately was used against us. Israel used Erez to show kindness and provide livelihoods, while Hamas used Erez to launch attacks. Have we learned our lesson? Photo Credit: Israel Defense Forces

Rabbi Pesach Wolicki has been clear on Israel as his destiny for as long as he can remember. So why is it that he came to Israel as a kid, and went back to Canada, and then, when his parents made Aliyah, he decided to stay back in Canada? And why did he make Aliyah, only to leave again to spend 5 years in the US? It’s an incredible story of his commitment to life in Israel – and to the Jewish nation – that led to those things happening. Goel sat with Rabbi Pesach recently to hear all about it.

Yishai Fleisher is on IDF Reserves and reviews the war, the allies and the enemies, and new reality of a battle-ready Jewish State. Ben Bresky reports on Hannukah during WWII. And on the last night of the Holiday of Lights - Israel shines bright with new opportunities to get closer to Hashem!

There are good things worth fighting for. But what is good? The first class of the Jewish Heroism Project with Rav Mike Feuer introduces the Torah’s definition of heroism as 'mesirut nefesh l’man tov', going beyond limited self for the sake of good. It is a call to set out on the twenty-six paths of Jewish heroism, to uncover the heroic face of Torah and make it your own.

Eve Harow speaks to British Colonel Richard Kemp, who has been in Israel since October 9th. Veteran of many a battlefield, both in conflict and politics, he shares his thoughts on the war Israel is waging on Hamas, along with many other insights. Did you know that the African Union Refugee Convention actually legally obligates Egypt to take in Gazans during the hostilities? That the Red Cross in Gaza, as well as UNWRA, are Hamas lackeys for all intents and purposes? This extraordinary man and immensely good friend to Israel is a believer in right from wrong, appreciative of Israel’s military prowess and the unity of our society and appalled at the hypocrisy of most of the world’s leaders. He’s not a fan of the current US administration (understatement) either. Kemp is a Christian and a Zionist, but one does not inform the other. An important conversation with a very brave man not averse to taking on foes when morality and the fight for truth dictate that he must.

In the midst of the war, a new important initiative was launched called "The Heroes of Oct. 7". Over 120 stories were written for children about the current reality in Israel to share with them the heroism of the brave men and women who put their lives on hold in order to defend the State of Israel and the Jewish People. On today's Israel Uncensored, Josh Hasten speaks to Dr. Allison Kupietzky, English Project Manager, and Joslynne Halibard, English Editor, of the project. The stories are available in English, Hebrew, and French. Use this Facebook link (https://www.facebook.com/profile.php?id=61553521366270) to share these inspirational stories with your children. Contact [email protected] to learn more.

This week on Return Again Goel Jasper speaks with Ari Abramowitz. Ari Abramowitz grew up in Houston, Texas, to a proud Jewish family that believed in the importance of supporting Israel. But for Ari, born Aryeh Yehuda Abramowitz, do so from afar was never going to be enough. That said, his road to living his life here was not totally smooth, and I had the privilege of joining him on the Arugot Farm recently, where he and his family live, to take in the breathtaking views and hear his Aliyah story.

Return Again is a show about Aliyah. But not Aliyah in the way you’ve always heard about it. Return Again is a long-form podcast where Goel Jasper explores with his guests what life is really like in Israel – no holds barred and no topic too sensitive. Every episode starts at the beginning, so that listeners can understand how that person arrived in Israel, and for how long they’ve lived in the Land promised to our forefathers. Then, once the whole story is clear, each guest is asked a series of rapid-fire questions, things as mundane as whether the guest uses Heinz or Israeli ketchup, and as profound as “Is Aliyah for everyone?” You’ll be amazed at how sometimes, the simplest question results in the deepest, most inspiring answer. Who knows, maybe Goel will interview you someday.

Not only is Israel under attack, but so are Jews on American campuses. Yishai and Malkah Fleisher debate how to deal with global antisemitism while decorating the house with the lights of Hanukkah that shine in this year. Ben Bresky speaks with musician Yitzchok Meir Malek about playing for soldiers on army bases. Rabbi Shimshon Nadel asks whether Torah students should be drafted to the IDF. And finally, Yishai is a guest on the epic From the Inside Out podcast and talks about "the global cost of people-pleasing."

Rav Mike Feuer's annual Hanukkah class in honor of the yarzheit of his father Charles M. Feuer, Betzalel ben Avraham. Also the official launch party of the Jewish Heroism Project (http://www.jewishheroism.com). The class unpacks the meaning of gevurah, what it can teach us about the Maccabean war and our present national struggle.

Eve Harow just returned from a few days in the US to see family and a new granddaughter. And yes, she cried when her plane landed in Israel. While there she spoke at a private home in Baltimore to a wonderful group of One Israel Fund supporters who have been very involved in protecting the communities in Yehuda and Shomron. We are not going to repeat the unconscionable events of October 7 in the heartland. This podcast is an edited recording of her talk on Sunday December 3.

The questions our nation of Israel faces today are painful and even frightening. Here is a conversation for those seeking to raise their morale and their morals.

On today's Israel Uncensored, Josh Hasten discusses the psychological warfare and terrorism being utilized by Hamas during this current ceasefire. From forcing Israeli captives - women and children to smile and wave as they are being freed, to having them write letters praising their time in Gaza, as if they were away at summer camp. Hamas is doing everything in its power to gain world sympathy, while trying to convince the Israeli people that ceasefires should be extended. Their goal of course is to rearm and refuel, for the next round of fighting.
