The Soul of Mount Moriah - An Ancient Theory

A new film about the Temple Mount and the secrets that lie beneath. A promotional trailer about one man's research on the location of the Ark of the Covenant. The project progressed into a precursor to a full length feature documentary about the most controversial piece of real estate in the world and its significance to the Jewish people, especially in these times. Based on an Israeli research/thesis paper by Hirschel Moskoff

Port-au-Prince, Haiti - The large field hospital established by the IDF Medical Corps at 10 a.m. Shabbat local time was already treating dozens of patients four hours later, when its commander, Lt.-Col. Dr. Itzik Reiss, was able to take a breather and speak to Israeli health reporters via a conference call.

Children with severe fractures set only with cardboard arrived at the hospital for treatment. Some young patients had been freed from rubble but had to have limbs amputated due to severe gangrene, he said. Within a few hours, operations were performed.

The hospital has an emergency room, pediatric, orthopedic, internal medicine, obstetrics and surgery departments, clinics and other facilities. The delivery room and premature baby unit are prepared to function but have not yet received any women or infants.

The patients started arriving after a local hospital, unable to function normally, announced the IDF facility's existence.

The Israeli facility, set up in very hot and humid weather, has enough equipment to function for about two weeks. The 121-member team has 40 doctors, including a psychiatrist, 20 nurses, 20 paramedics and medics, 20 lab and X-ray technicians and administrators.

Among the staff are Orthodox Jews who went to Haiti even though it was Shabbat. Reiss said they avoided performing unnecessarily tasks like shaving, but did everything needed to save lives. The military personnel are both regular army and reserve soldiers.

It was not clear how many desperate patients would reach the hospital over the coming days, he said. Reiss said he expected victims of infectious disease would start arriving soon.

Haitians were wandering aimlessly in the streets, Reiss said.

"It is very difficult. There is a bad feeling of destruction. It is very sad," he said.

The field hospital may continue operating under Israeli auspices after getting it restocked in two weeks, or it may be turned over to locals, he added

The low speed car may be a step up from mopeds and motorcycles and hopefully priced to compete in that market although they may be illegal to be driven in some countries because of its speed capacity that restricts highway driving and driving in a faster speed zone

Hezbollah flag at Gaza Freedom March, Toronto

The government of Canada has designated Hezbollah as a terrorist group. Yet the Hezbollah flag was on display in the Gaza Freedom March in Toronto on December 27, 2009

There were others also present and counter demonstrating

Viva, viva intefada????? Shouts of support of terror attacks? I believe that some demonstrators may be playing follow the leader and may not really understand that they are really supporting radical Islam and their false propaganda

The next in a weekly series of 10 minute topics teaching about various topics within Judaism. This week's topic is: Biblical Covenants.

A biblical covenant, brit/bris (ברית), is an agreement made between Hashem and humans. Hashem makes certain promises while requiring certain behaviors from humans in return. There are five Biblical covenants in the Tanach (Hebrew Scriptures).

1. Noachide Covenant (Genesis 9:8-17)
2. Avrahamic Covenant (Genesis 15:7-21; 17:10)
3. Sinatic Covenant (Exodus 19-24)
4. Priestly Covenant (Numbers 25:12-13)
5. Kingly Covenant (II Samuel 23:5)

What's it like to be the greatest sidekick ever? Actor and writer Joel Stanley takes us INSIDE the head of Aaron, Moses's number one man (ahem...and his brother). Plagues! Confrontations! And poison-tinged political drama where Moses and Pharoah's attendants attack each other...with snakes??


A new world order. Sounds scary, but thats exactly what G-d established when he commanded Israel, saying, "This month shall be to you the head of the months; to you it shall be the first of the months of the year." (Exodus 12:2)

Haitian Earthquake

Haitian Earthquake: Dry Bones cartoon.
We humans are a strange and dangerous species. Our missions of mercy are outnumbered by acts of organized human cruelty, aggression, violence, and war-making. But that, of course, does not make our missions of mercy any less noble or important.
