Can @shalombayitnow with Israel’s Ultra Orthodox Haredi Jews be achieved? One of the hottest topics concerning Israeli society is the integration Vs rejection of Haredi Jews. Most outlets seek to minimize, ostracize, or demonize the other, preventing us from understanding the intricacies and needs of both the secular and religious populations. We seek to heal the divide from its source and to understand not only why we are here, but how to authentically move forward while keeping both seemingly clashing identities intact.

The 🇬🇧UK’s Green Party❎ has recycled an old anti-Jewish tagline equating Zionism with racism, riding on the struggles of minorities who face genuine racism, manipulating pain and society’s “appetite” for justice, and entrapping the public into hating Jews and opposing Jewish rights. Not only does Zionism have nothing to do with “race,” but it is the world’s most successful indigenous liberation movement, and a model of light and success for minorities and indigenous peoples worldwide. ZIONism comes from ZION (another word for JERUSALEM) and only means the right of the Jewish People to self-determine on their ancestral Homeland. Thus, to be against Zionism is to be against the Jewish People’s right to live where they are from, which is a form of antisemitism. Just as being against Black rights is racist, being against women’s rights is misogynistic, or being against Native Nations’ access to their lands is anti-Native, being against Jewish liberation is today’s trendy output for Jew hatred. The West’s far-left feels so guilty of their crimes of apartheid, genocide, ethnic cleansing, settlements, colonization, and racism, that rather than looking in the mirror at what their own nations have done, they push their white guilt onto the Jewish People and blame them for what they are actually guilty of. The Jewish People have come Home, decolonized their tongues bringing back their native language, reinstated their culture, and freed themselves from foreign colonial British rule reclaiming sovereignty on their land. 1948 was the experience many performative activists chant to see. The West’s far-left conclusion is identical to the far-right’s. The far-right is at least honest about its hatred toward minorities and indigenous groups, whereas the far-left will only “support” them when they are weak or victims, but the moment they become strong, come Home, and narrate their own future, they are suddenly a threat to be rejected at all costs. Jews in foreign lands with the initials UK: stand up and narrate your story. Fight back and win the cultural war or leave now and come Home to Israel. Zionism is Decolonization, and the Hashem’s revolution has already begun.

Meet @rudy_israel - the man behind We Were Never Lost, reconnecting Jewish communities across the world with their roots, heritage, and the story of Israel. 🌎 Because no community should ever be forgotten, and no piece of our history should be left untold.

What we should learn from Oct 7 🕯️⚔️ We need space to commemorate, but we cannot forget to do the hard work of looking in the mirror and taking the responsibility to make sure it never happens again.

Everyone’s in the hotel lobby… we’re in the Sukkah. 🍋🌿 PSA: we do not wear Tefillin this week of Chol Hamoed Sukkot. Instead, we shake the Lulav & Etrog.

Crypto Jews, Belmonte Portugal 🇵🇹🕍 700+ years of Jewish survival. By 1297, a Sepharadi Jewish community had been established here, but by 1496 everything changed. The King of Portugal decreed that Jews could no longer exist! They either had to convert, leave, or face extermination. Many families in Belmonte took their Judaism underground, preserving their identity, prayers, and traditions in secret for generations. On the outside, no one knew they were Jewish, but in private, they taught their children and made sure they would carry on the eternal flame of their secret identity. Much of their traditions were preserved orally, especially through the women of the community, long after contact with the wider Jewish world had disappeared. In fact, most believed they were some of the last Jews to survive. In the 20th century, the Crypto Jews of Belmonte began openly reconnecting with the larger Jewish community through the rediscovery when an Ashkenazi Jewish man visited the community and had heard there were a stubborn strange people who refused to mix with others. He asked if they were Yehudim and they denied any connection, until he said the Shema Israel, where they melted into tears and couldn’t believe to have finally reconnected with Am Israel. Today, Belmonte once again has a synagogue, a Jewish museum, and a living Jewish community descendants of people who refused to let their identity disappear. After centuries in the shadows, the Jews of Belmonte can once again live openly in the light. There are many communities like this scattered across Spain, Portugal, the Caribbean, and Latin America. @wewereneverlost will work to rebuild those bridges with the dispersed of Israel.

Hebrew Birthday 33 🧿✨Today is the 20th of Elul, marking my 33rd year of life. (Wrapped in Baba Sali’s actual Sudra)👳🏽‍♂️ In today’s modern culture people send “happy wishes” for those with birthdays, but in Hebrew culture it is the person with the birthday who is elevated with the ability to give blessings to others. Since today is my day, may we all individually & collectively remember who we are along with the purpose we chose to come back to this physical experience, and may we recognize and pass all tests coming our way. May the Jewish People realize the key to our success depends on our unity, not uniformity, and may we tap into our mission and fullest potential. Many people ask me why I celebrate my Hebrew birthday rather than Sep 6th, my solar birthday, and the one the world mainly uses. Well, I come from an ancient People who’ve used their own calendar for thousands of years. Rosh Hashana, Kippur, Hannukah, and all Jewish holidays are celebrated on the Hebrew calendar which is not based on the birth/death/life of a Jewish man used for idolatry. It may be triggering but it’s Emet. I use the Gregorian calendar daily when dealing with the world, but my birthday is not for others, as I choose to celebrate the date I was born according to my native culture, heritage, and identity. My Parasha is a double portion: Nitzavim-Vayelech. ‘Nitzavim’ means ‘standing firmly’ on one’s values, principles, and convictions in order to grow in life. It is also centered on the unity of Israel: “You stand today, all of you, before the L‑rd your G‑d: your heads, your tribes, your elders, your officers, and every Israelite.” It continues with the promise of scattered Jews returning to the Land of Israel. ‘Vayelech’ means “and he went” recounting Moses’ last day of earthly life. “I am 120 years old today,” he says to the People as he transfers leadership to Joshua and entrusts the Levites to safekeep the Torah and Ark of the Covenant. As a Levite, my life missions are clearly connected. I ask on thing of everyone: Type “Hebrew Brithday Calculator” online to find your Hebrew birthday and mark it on your calendar for your next yearly celebration. 🕍

Doing THIS Saves IDF Soldiers It's actually very easy! Miracles are created by collective actions where we uplift the darkness and transform the negatives to positive. Know that between Jews the formula experienced throughout history is very clear. Unity = Miracles. Division = Destruction. Be the right input for our best output!

My grandfather Zev Chuna Wolf Paul Rochman z”l just passed away at 100 years old, 3 weeks away from turning 101. (4th of Av, 5786) My paternal grandfather was born in Krasnik, Poland and moved to France as an infant with his parents fleeing the rise of antisemitism in Eastern Europe at the time. A few years later the Holocaust began and the Nazis invaded France forcing my family to flee once more to escape the rounding up of Jews. They escaped to the North of France and hid in attics to survive. After the war my grandfather Zev Chuna Wolf found my grandmother, who had also survived the Holocaust in Belgium, hidden away in a nunery as a child, and established themselves in France where my grandfather worked as a tailor and sewing machine repairman. 8 years ago, my grandmother passed away and my father moved my grandfather to Netanya, Israel, where he lived some of his best years in his Homeland. Today (July 26, 2026 -12th of Av, 5786) marks the last day of my family’s shiva where we mourned the loss of Zev. Photo is of the speech I gave at his funeral reminding all of his family and friends that he lived a life with Simcha (joy) and always looking for deeper meaning behind the words one uses. I was in uniform because I had just been pulled out of the war in Lebanon and released for a few days to help my father bury his father. My grandfather Zev Chuna Wolf Paul Rochman was in an induced coma the week before he passed away. I was able to put Tefilin on him one last time before moving on to the next world.

Her parents left her at non-Jewish neighbors in order to come back for her but unfor

The Israeli Political Trap Nobody Escapes! Why do we accept the boxes predesigned to separate and control the population? Isn’t it time to realize that real truth combines both sides together rather than profiting financially, politically, and socially from ripping us apart?

One Jew TAKES ON Entire Angry Mob Recounting the day one Jewish activist stood up to an entire mob chanting slurs and calling for his de*th. What was the formula that protected the Jews against them all? Interview from: @standtallisrael

Jah Bless 🦁 Linking up with @romarley (son of Bob Marley) to share what’s coming with @wewereneverlost. Many Jamaicans are Ethiopian descendants of King Solomon & Queen Sheba. The Marley family has been very connected to the stories of Zion and have played a tremendous role in bringing G-d consciousness to the world. The family of Israel / Children of Jacob are much bigger than most understand. Our family will reunite and we will bring One consciousness to all of humanity. Shoutout @rabbiharry for making the intro years ago.

Ohel - Chabad Burial Site 🪦 Lubavitcher Rebbe Chabad חכמה, בינה ודעת- is a movement of exponential miracles. A movement that saves, unites, and empowers Jewish lives around the world. The Rebbe’s continuous and massive symphony of Jews helping others globally is a testament of who he was and what he envisioned to instill in those he impacted. It’s been over a year since visiting the Ohel, a site that I pray only to Hashem while also communicating with the Rebbe to make sure my prayers to Hashem are heard more clearly. It’s beautiful to see how many more people are visiting this special place. While there, an 8th grade class from a nearby Jewish day school was visiting, and their teachers asked me to speak to the students. Although I shared many downloads with them, I’m thankful and recognize that Hashem is the one who is sharing this moment with me. The opportunity to be a light to this world and unto others is what we are here to do, and any moment we can be of service, we must step up to the plate. May we never forget that as we all go through life, especially with its challenges, we must make sure to understand that every moment we live through is an opportunity to remember who we are and to be an extension of light for all. Wherever you are. Be the light.
