President Herzog Goes to Bais Medrash to learn a Daf
הוא משלנו: כאחד מבני החבורה יושב הנשיא הרצוג לשעה של לימוד גמרא בעיון, עם בחירי תלמידי ישיבת ׳תורה בתפארתה׳ באלעד. בכנות, חיבור כזה של נשיא עוד לא היה לנו. (צילום:שוקי לרר) pic.twitter.com/sKDgBlQxMe

Theodor Herzl;s six days of action to establish the Stae of Israel
Theodor Herzl needed only six days of action to establish a state. Or at least that period of time to understand and absorb that, in this short time, he laid the foundations for the political existence of the Jewish people.
On 1 Elul, 5647 (1897) Herzl was still running around the Stadtcasino concert hall in Basel, starching flags, commenting – like a skilled editor – on the delegates’ speeches that were sent to him ahead of time. He then reprimanded Max Nordau and sent him back to the hotel to change his casual clothes into a frock coat, in accordance with the ceremonial dress code. On Friday, 6 Elul (1897), after the 208 delegates had returned to their relevant countries, Herzl wrote in his diary: “At Basel, I founded the Jewish state.”
What made Herzl realize that the Jewish state had been founded at the special conference of the First Zionist Congress? After all, another fifty years passed until the actual declaration of independence, during which time the Jewish people faced a real danger of annihilation. Herzl had, in fact, launched a vision that expressed a desire. In the following lines in his diary, he wrote: “The foundation of the state was already laid in the people’s desire for a homeland.”
One word in the Hebrew language expresses the transition from the metaphysical event of the First Zionist Congress to the physical event called the State of Israel more than anything else, and that word is “chozeh.” In English, there are two separate meanings for the word “chozeh.” One is “visionary,” and Herzl, who was defined as the State Visionary, represents the vision and belief in the establishment of the Jewish state. The second is “contract,” and Herzl was the one who drafted the contract between the Jewish People and their homeland. In Hebrew, it sounds so much better, clearer, and more real.
Pollard Reverses Course, Retracts Support for Ayelet Shaked
Earlier in the day, Pollard had endorsed Shaked, saying he had shown “misplaced loyalty in our last government” but maintained she “realizes the mistake” and would “serve Israel in a way that will safeguard both our core interests and our honor.”
“After talks that took place recently and seemed positive, and after my words regarding Ayelet Shaked were published this morning, it became clear to me that she refuses to make necessary changes to her list and to commit that she will only join a right-wing government that will preserve the Jewish identity of the country,” Pollard said in a statement quoted by Israel’s Channel 2 News political journalist Amit Segal.
“This raises real concerns that she will once again transfer votes from the right to the left,” Pollard said, adding, “That’s why I retract my support for her.”
In response to Pollard’s message, Shaked issued her own statement.
“I was happy to hear this morning about Jonathan Pollard’s support for me,” she said.
“The poisonous machine that was directed at him from the moment he announced his support for me put Jonathan in an impossible situation and I’m glad he pulled himself out of the eye of the storm.
“An Israeli hero like Jonathan deserves to be at the heart of the consensus and not become a target in the toxic discourse of Israeli politics.
“As I have said at every step in recent weeks, only together will we win. This is the secret of the strength of the people of Israel.”
Harav Kook the iconic leader of religious Zionism who was Israel's first Chief Rabbi, was a Torah giant even as a young man.
In each generation, the Holy One Blessed Be He sends special souls into the world to shepherd the Jewish People. Shepherds like Avraham Avinu, Moshe Rabenu, King David, and Rabbi Akiva.
Rabbi Avraham Yitzhak HaKohen Kook had a soul like theirs. His soul was filled with a burning love for Hashem, for Torah, for the Land of Israel, for all the Jewish People and for all of mankind. Avraham Yitzhak HaKohen Kook was born in the Hebrew month of Elul, in the year 1865, in the town of Griva, Russia.
A story is told about him as a young boy in Heder. During breaks in their learning, the children would line up outside with their school bags on their backs. Avraham would march them around the yard as if leading them on a voyage. The boys would call out: “Where are we going?” and their young leader would reply in a joyous voice: “To Eretz Yisrael!”
Yad Vashem Hires an anti-Israel for a senior post.
Yad Vashem is embroiled in a deep controversy over .the choice of Dr. Dan Sachor for a senior post, head administrator of the library, at the Holocaust Memorial and museum in Jerusalem.
Sachor is a "post-Zionist". Politically, he is on the extreme Left fringe of Israeli politics.
What earns him this title?
-Comparing Israeli pilots to terrorist suicide bombers is an example.
-Another is refusing service in the Israeli army of "occupation" and accusing Israel of purposely and regularly killing Palestinian Arab children.
-Still another is calling for the end of American support for Israel.
-Add to that, supporting the BDS boycott of Israel, insisting that Hamas is a movement interested in peace and that Israel should just talk. with them and ask for nothing more...
-And being proud of the fact that his organization includes terrorists with Jewish blood on their hands.
-Joining protests in NY together with other anti-Israel groups against Israel's actions in Gaza
Are Jews in the US in Danger? More Than 40% Think American Civil War Likely in Next Decade
Guess who becomes the scapegoat in the event of a civil war?
A troubling new survey found that 43% of Americans – and more than half of “strong Republicans” – believe that a civil war is at least somewhat likely to occur within the next 10 years. Among strong Democrats and independents that figure was 40%, while 54% of strong Republicans said the same.
The poll also found that 65% say political violence has increased since the start of 2021, and 62% believe that political violence will increase in the next few years.
The findings comes from a poll by YouGov and the Economist, follows heated rhetoric from Trump supporters in the wake of the unprecedented FBI raid on Mar-a-Lago, including from Sen. Lindsey Graham, who predicted “riots in the streets” if Trump is indicted.
Most experts believe that a full-scale war, like the 1861-1865 civil war, remains highly unlikely. But many worry that increasing rhetoric and division could result in isolated or even coordinated attacks against political figures.
“Countries with democracies and governments as strong as America’s do not fall into civil war. But if our institutions weaken, the story could be different,” said Rachel Kleinfeld a civil conflict specialist at the Carnegie Endowment for International Peace.
