I came here to cover the war and water issues, but I also came here to answer my own questions about whether Israel will survive. Even after so many visits, when you read about the threats Israel is facing, and the pressure it is under… you wonder.
I attended a gathering of survivors of the October 7 attacks; dropped in on a group of visiting legislators who are facing tough opposition to Israel from their young constituents; returned to the communities of Kibbutz Be’eri and Kibbutz Nir Oz; covered a Passover seder in honor of the remaining hostages in Gaza; met mourners at the Supernova memorial site; took in the broad vista at Kibbutz Har’el; and found joy again at an Idan Raichel Project concert.
I think the answer to my questions is that Israel’s survival remains a miracle, one that spreads love and light to the world, to those who wish to see.
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.
