Reading about Yaacov's marriages to Leah and Rachel is an appropriate time to recall some of the duties incumbent upon Jewish husbands. "One who loves his wife as himself and honors her more than himself" Maimonides likewise rules that this is a halakhic obligation: "So too, the Sages commanded that a man must honor his wife more than his own self, and love her as his own self. And if he has means, he should increase her welfare according to his wealth" (Rambam, Ishut 15:19; see also Sdei Chemed, Asifat Dinim V, "Chaf"). Honoring One's Wife Brings Blessing Our Sages further taught: "A man must always be careful regarding the honor of his wife, for blessing is found in a man's home only because of his wife, as it is said: "And for…...

25+ min ago (329+ words) Irish Taoiseach (Prime Minister) Miche'l Martin called on the Dublin City Council to drop the proposal to rename Herzog Park to "Free Palestine." "The proposal would erase the distinctive and rich contribution to Irish life of the Jewish communities over many decades, including actual participation in the Irish War of Independence and the emerging State," Martin stated today (Sunday).

Our Irish Jewish communities" contribution to our country"s evolution in its many forms should always be cherished and generously acknowledged."

29+ min ago (1180+ words) In the remarkable and meticulously documented book "Target Tehran" by Yonah Jeremy Bob and Ilan Evyatar, the authors reference the Mossad's long-standing commitment to the promise that the Islamic Republic of Iran must never be allowed to obtain a nuclear bomb or any form of nuclear weapons capability. In the summer of 2025, the Mossad, true to its word, and to operational realities, neutralized a critical and dangerous component of the Shi'a clerical regime's nuclear ambitions. Through a preemptive strike, Israel temporarily, and at least on the surface, removed one of the regime's most vital tools on its path to becoming a nuclear power. But this is far from the end of the story. Whether the iconic Benjamin Netanyahu remains in office or steps aside and whether the highly capable former Mossad chief Yossi Cohen ever becomes Israel's prime minister, one…...

Jon drew on figures such as Nachshon ben Aminadav and Joshua and Calev as models of courage and resolve. Rachel reflected on the Torah's call to "choose life," describing it as a daily discipline rather than an abstract idea. The launch of the new Koren Sacks Humash was a central feature of the evening. Dedicated in memory of Conrad Morris, the edition brings together Rabbi Sacks…...
