At Heichal Hatorah in Teaneck, 115 boys giving their night to something that is not just thrilling, but also lasting #BigGamePlayers
Good thread on the real lesson of the Kamtza/Bar Kamtza story. Rav Matisyahu Solomon of Lakewood said If someone cuts you off you have a right to be angry. Shooting them in response is Sinat Chinam. Chinam also means “open-ended”, hatred with no boundaries leads to destruction.

An iconic image: A group of Jewish soldiers in the German Army gather on a frosty Chanukah in 1916 to kindle the menorah and warm themselves by its light. But who is the chaplain in the center?
I believe I have the answer.

In Panama for the chasunah of a talmid, Rav Herschel Shachter spends time with the chassan on the day of the chuppah, preparing...with the blatt gemara and a regular first seder

A quick thread on this new paper which it has been claimed refutes the notion of social contagion in trans adolescents. Even by the poor methodological standards of this topic it's remarkable how weak the evidence is compared to the claims being made. 1/x

Rav Raziel's son hugging his father's (murdered by a terrorist in 2018) kever today on tom hazikaron. Brought me to tears.
One great Rav once said "I won't ask why, but I will ask for how much longer?"

This may be the most powerful footage one has ever seen. A holocaust survivor, a great grandfather, serving as the sandak at his 49th great grandchild, as the siren goes off, this morning in Eretz Yisrael.

A heartbreaking photo showing the execution of a Jewish family by Nazis. One of the most powerful, heartbreaking, violent and chilling pictures I’ve ever seen from the Holocaust. #NeverForget
Great thread from @AriLamm
A lot of people the last few months have asked me some version of: “Why the Macs?”
After all, I was never more than a casual ball player (I was actually a high school wrestler). Sure @YUathletics have been good…but just seemed out of character for me.
Some brief thoughts: 1
What I don't understand is: NATO is hesitant to provide Ukraine air support for fear of starting WW III. But a world war requires Russia to have allies that will fight alongside them-do they have that? It seems to be the world against Russia

This is the view of the Holy Land from Mount Nebo in Jordan.
Mount Nebo is mentioned in the Bible as the place where Moses was granted a view of the Promised Land before his death.
