A State Of Dichotomies
The U.S. dollar is taking a beating against world currencies. The Israeli Shekel is one of the best, if not the best performing currency in the world. Airfares to Israel have skyrocketed as a result of the weakening dollar and the huge increase in the price of a barrel of oil. On the other hand. […]
Faith and Love
Dear supporters of a Jewish state of Israel, A moment or two after a katyusha rocket comes close to killing you is a good time to reflect on one’s life. We had been delivering supplies the entire day to the beleaguered residents of the village of Shlomi, on the Israeli side of the Lebanese border. […]
Don’t Believe The Hype
I don’t remember who it was, but a very successful businessman once told me that a small positive article, perhaps no more than a single column in the New York Times, is worth far more than three (3) pages of advertisements in the very same newspaper. “People believe the press” he said.

Ariel Shakran!
I must confess I for one am not disappointed in Ariel Sharon. I wholeheartedly agree that he has earned the title as the greatest Field General of the 20th century. I understood all the hope that was placed in this icon of Jewish might. Oslo was proven to be a complete disaster. People were looking […]
