I returned from Israel last Thursday, then headed out to Las Vegas the next day for the Republican Jewish Coalition meeting, where I covered all of the presidential candidates. Then I came back home, and made it through my radio show -- barely.
I began the week in a state of exhaustion and borderline depression. I fought through it -- though Tuesday was a really tough day -- and I managed to get a bit more sleep than usual.
By Thursday, I was finally feeling more or less like myself again. I feel tired but it is a familiar fatigue -- not the sudden, crushing need to collapse on any horizontal surface.
I feel ready for the tasks ahead. Though there is so much more to do.
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.
