American Jew Violates Israeli Quarantine Agreement
American and Israeli Jews share a common heritage and faith, but don’t always agree on the nitty-gritty details of what that means.

BBC Misleads Public on Ethiopian MKs

Missionaries Prey on Jewish Children in Israel on TV
Coronavirus means kids are a captive audience for television entertainment. That makes it doubly horrific that Israel’s HOT cable television network launched an evangelical TV channel on April 27. The channel, dubbed “Shelanu” or Hebrew for “Ours,” has, as its mission, the goal of spreading the gospel to Jewish children. Shelanu is the Israeli branch …
