My thoughts on politics.
Scaling Kars4Kids from a small, local car-donation outfit into a nationally recognized nonprofit taught me lessons most CEOs only learn in the for-profit world. For starters, marketing isn’t optional—it’s mission-critical. We’ve turned donors into advocates through catchy jingles and bold campaigns, all while staying true to our purpose. As I once shared in an interview, …
Deputy U.S. Treasury Secretary Michael Faulkender has announced new sanctions against Hamas- and PFLP-linked “charities” serving as a stark reminder that not all philanthropy is what it seems. For ethical nonprofits, transparency is not just best practice—it’s a survival strategy. When organizations exploit charitable fronts to fund terror, they damage global trust in humanitarian work. …
In a social media era dominated by anti-Israel sentiment, Azealia Banks’ unexpected declaration of Zionism caught everyone off guard. While the rapper is no stranger to controversy, her recent comments about Israel—particularly her insistence that “no black person should be supporting Palestine”—broke through the noise for their raw honesty. Banks drew a line between performative …
In a surprising twist, former President Donald Trump — once celebrated in Israeli circles for his hard stance on Iran — is now reportedly urging Israel to hold off and give U.S. diplomacy a chance to work. That advice isn’t sitting well with many Israeli-Americans, who vividly remember what happened the last time diplomacy was …
A forthcoming book, Original Sin by Alex Thompson and Jake Tapper, reveals troubling details about President Joe Biden’s mental decline during his term, raising questions about his fitness for leadership. As early as 2022, Biden struggled to recall the names of longtime aides like Jake Sullivan and Kate Bedingfield, referring to them vaguely as “Steve” …
Randy Fine’s win in Florida’s 6th Congressional District special election on April 1, 2025, is a sigh of relief for a Republican Party clinging to its razor-thin House majority like a lifeboat in a storm. The Trump-endorsed state senator’s triumph over Democrat Josh Weil—a political newbie who somehow raised nearly ten times Fine’s war chest—keeps …
Moody’s has delivered sobering news regarding Israel’s credit rating, forecasted to remain at a historic low of BAA1 through 2025. This rating not only reflects an immediate challenge for the nation’s economy but also underscores the broader implications of a war that drags on at length, as Israel tries desperately to get the hostages out …
Business leaders and investors from the U.S. and South America recently came together in Israel to connect with locals and explore new investment opportunities amid challenging times. Brig. Gen. Amir Avivi inspired the group by talking about the potential for peace and economic growth as Israel moves forward from the traumatic events of October 7. …
Israeli families’ advocacy has successfully pushed for pre-October 7 captives, including fallen soldier Hadar Goldin, to be included in hostage negotiations with Hamas. An Israeli official confirmed to Maariv that Goldin’s body is expected to be returned next week, towards the end of phase one of the deal. This marks a significant step forward in …
It’s been a year since the black day that our fellow Jews in Israel were brutalized in ways so inhumane, so cruel, that the brain refuses to process the information, though we know all too well that it happened. Most of the hostages are still in Gaza, and many of them are corpses, awaiting a …
