FINALLY REUNITED THE BANNER OF THE UN-LOST TRIBES עשרת השבטים Across distant lands—from the rugged Ethiopian Highlands to India’s remote villages—clans claiming a connection to the ancient Israelites have been discovered. At a time when Jewish identity is so emergent, what can a lost chapter of history teach us? ישעיהו י״א וְהָיָה  בַּיּוֹם הַהוּא יוֹסִיף ה'  שֵׁנִית יָדוֹ לִקְנוֹת אֶת־שְׁאָר עַמּוֹ אֲשֶׁר יִשָּׁאֵר מֵאַשּׁוּר וּמִמִּצְרַיִם וּמִפַּתְרוֹס וּמִכּוּשׁ וּמֵעֵיל

That’s not the first time humans have been compared to hounds; the Talmud posits that people prior to Moshiach’s arrival will have “the face of a dog”. Commentary ranges from the pessimistic prediction of a generation of spineless leaders, like a dog who sprints ahead but always turns back for

IMMORTAL BEINGS LIFE AS WE DON'T KNOW IT בלע המות לנצח "In this world nothing can be said to be certain, except death and taxes” is one of Ben Franklin’s immortal proverbs. But new biotech discoveries on age reversal may one day make the famous statesman, scientist, and author eat his words. ישעיהו כה:ח בִּלַּע הַמָּוֶת לָנֶצַח וּמָחָה ה׳ אלקים דִּמְעָה מֵעַל כָּל־פָּנִים וְחֶרְפַּת עַמּוֹ יָסִיר מֵעַל כָּל־הָאָרֶץ כִּי ה׳ דִּבֵּר.

MOSHIACH PRE-REDEMPTION THE ANGUISH OF THE REDEEMER IN EXILE משיח בזמן הגלות The Arch of Titus in Rome, constructed to commemorate the conquest of Jerusalem and the destruction of the Second Temple, depicts Roman soldiers carrying away a Menorah and other sacred vessels, and Jewish refugees in chains. But it is the Porta Romana, built a century earlier, that Jewish tradition describes as the location where Moshiach symbolically awaits, ready to reverse everything the arch rep

MESSENGER OF REDEMPTION ELIYAHU AND THE LAST STEPS OF EXILE אליהו הנביא The damaged shell of the Eliyahu Hanavi Synagogue in the Jobar suburb of Damascus carries the unbelievable history of the Jewish people over millennia. A plaque at the entrance traces the Beit Knesset’s provenance to the time of the First Temple. According to local legend, the synagogue is built over the cave where the prophet Eliyahu anointed his student Elisha to succeed him. This is not the only synag

A WORLD TRANSFORMED A CHANGE IN FORM, NOT IN SUBSTANCE הרע יהפך לטוב In 1973, with the whole world on edge in the greatest global conflict of the 20th century, the Global Positioning System was born. It took only twenty years for America’s greatest strategic weapon of the Space War to be a force of public good. Where would we be today without GPS? זכרי' פרק יג, פסוק ב וְאֶת רוּחַ הַטֻּמְאָה אַעֲבִיר מִן הָאָרֶץ. אור החיים בראשית פרק א, פסוק א וְהִנֵּה יָדוּעַ כִּי הַקְּלִפָּ

THE FUTURE OF BUSINESS HOW MOSHIACH'S ARRIVAL WILL BRING TRUE WEALTH עסק כל העולם Ed Diener was a noted psychologist and professor. His research focused heavily on well-being and happiness, earning himself the nick-name “Dr. Happiness.” In his book Happiness he writes: “It is good for your happiness to have money, but toxic to your happiness to want money too much.” He may have been unaware, but this idea was prophesied more than two and a half thousand years before he began

REDEMPTION FOR EVERYONE JEWISH WISDOM WITH GLOBAL RESONANCE אומות העולם In the aftermath of World War II, the United Nations was founded on the promise to foster international cooperation and prevent future conflicts. Despite its optimistic beginnings, it has fallen short of these ideals, hindered by political stalemates and ineffective responses to humanitarian crises. Bad actors have manipulated its mandate, reverting the progression of its ideals. From a traditional Jewish

THE PULSE OF PRAYER WHY MOSHIACH IS THE CORE OF THE LITURGY תפילה על משיח A recent survey found that close to 50% of Americans pray every day, and at least 37% of those believe that their prayers have been answered. They pray for health, prosperity, and the well-being of their loved ones. Some even pray for their favorite sports team to win or to find a good parking space. Jews are commanded to commune with G-d three times a day and voice various supplications at times in bet

NO ONE LEFT BEHIND EVERY JEW WILL BE PART OF THE MOSHIACH EXPERIENCE גלות וגאולה - שינה ויקיצה The United States is one of the many nations that formally forbids foreign felons from breaching their borders. Within the justice system, there are different degrees of restrictions on criminals, and a “record” can deny a person rights and permissions. What are the limitations of entry into the Moshiach era?

Perhaps it's a glimpse into the future ultimate reunion between G-d an
