Rabbi Uri Pilichowski is a senior educator at numerous educational institutions. The author of three books, he teaches Torah, Zionism and Israel studies around the world.

This is the land of their dreams, where they fantasize about a peaceful future. These people work, play, and most importantly, study in the land.
Israel has given Jews the capability to defend themselves against antisemitism.
Zionists should be inspired by the idea of a better Middle East and not allow terror to drive them to despair.
One congressional candidate’s story shows that even Israel’s most ardent opponents can be persuaded otherwise.
Zionism has often called for the “negation of the exile,” but today, the relationship between Israeli and Diaspora Jews remains essential.
Neither Israeli nor Diaspora Zionism is superior to the other.
We are left with gratitude to God for allowing us to keep our daughter and to all those who reached out to us in our time of trial.
We must draw a line between acceptable failings, even sin, and condemnable behavior.
The Jews hold themselves to a higher standard than others, but that does not give the world the right to do the same.
Many Israelis will stay home this election day, and it’s the politicians’ fault.
