The RJC leadership conference is always an incredible event. It is hosted at the Venetian in Las Vegas -- this year, without the late proprietor and RJC benefactor Sheldon Adelson for the first time -- and features an all-star cast of political guests. It was canceled in 2020 due to the pandemic; President Trump was to have addressed the conference for the second year in a row.
The lineup this year is impressive, and the mood will be festive, given the wave of Republican victories in this past week's off-year election. There will be tributes to Adelson, and discussions about how best to head off the Biden agenda, especially as the administration appears to be doubling down on its bad policies, rather than dialing them back in response to the poor election results.
One focus of the RJC may be efforts to stop Biden from declaring a separate U.S. consulate in Jerusalem for the Palestinians -- a move that Israel opposes, because it would effectively divide Jerusalem diplomatically, and which would violate both U.S. and international law. The RJC was instrumental in pushing for the U.S. embassy move to Jerusalem; it is going to defend that historic win.
Today's episode is devoted to the second anniversary of the October 7 terror attacks. It was produced before the announcement of a ceasefire deal, yet remains current & relevant.
Please listen, and #bringthemhome.

This week's portion is a beautiful poem, containing the Covenant between God and the people of Israel. But given the breaking news that Hamas may actually have agreed to release all of the Israeli hostages, I will devote my remarks to that.
One hopes it is true; if so, it makes this week's additional reading, from II Samuel 22, even more relevant: David's song of praise to the Lord for delivering him from the hand of his enemies.
"18 He rescued me from my powerful enemy,
from my foes, who were too strong for me.
19 They confronted me in the day of my disaster,
but the Lord was my support."
So much to focus on this week -- and much breaking news. A peace deal in the Middle East, perhaps? Eric Adams dropping out of the mayor's race? And a looming shutdown as Democrats push their demands beyond absurdity.
