People are Panicking Over Trump's Iran Deal. I'm Thanking President Trump

 


President Trump’s latest announcement regarding a deal with the Islamic Republic of Iran has many people angry, disappointed, and even feeling betrayed. I know this will surprise some people, but my reaction is different. I want to say thank you. Thank you, President Trump. Not because I think this deal is good. I don't. Not because I trust the Islamic Republic of Iran. I don't. And certainly not because I believe this war is over. It isn't over at all. I am thankful because this moment is forcing Israelis and Jews around the world to confront a truth we have avoided for far too long: our future cannot depend on any foreign leader, no matter how friendly, powerful, or supportive he may be. For decades, Israel has fallen into the trap of believing that our security ultimately rests in Washington, foreign aid packages, diplomatic guarantees, or the goodwill of world leaders. History teaches the exact opposite. No nation came to save us in our 1948 War of Independence. France supplied weapons before the miraculous Six-Day War in 1967, but we did not win because of foreign governments. We won because of courage, sacrifice, determination, and miracles that unfolded on the battlefield. The Jewish people survive when we take responsibility for our destiny and place our trust in Hashem. That is exactly what this moment is reminding us. And honestly, I am not even worried about this deal. First, there is no actual deal yet. If something is signed, it is expected to be little more than a memorandum of understanding outlining a framework for a 60-day ceasefire. Second, Iran is already threatening not to move forward unless Israel withdraws from southern Lebanon and unless billions of dollars in frozen assets are released. Neither demand appears realistic. The U.S. State Department has already indicated that any Lebanese security arrangement is focused on Hezbollah moving north of the Litani River, not Israel abandoning its security positions. Meanwhile, Israel's Defense Minister has declared that Israel will remain in its security zones in Lebanon, Syria, and Gaza. Prime Minister Netanyahu has made clear that Israel is not bound by any American memorandum regarding Iran. Israel is still operating in Lebanon. Israel still has freedom of action. Israel still has the final say regarding Israel's security. And for that, Netanyahu deserves credit for navigating the alliance with President Trump while preserving Israel's independence. In many ways, President Trump may actually be doing us a favor. Throughout this war, the Trump administration has been an extraordinary partner—more supportive than any American administration in modern history. But alliances are not perfect. America's interests and Israel's interests overlap, but they are not identical. America is heading toward midterm elections. American politicians will do what they believe serves American interests. Israel must do what serves Israel's interests. Perhaps America will continue helping us. Perhaps military pressure will resume when Iran inevitably refuses to meet the deal's conditions. Perhaps there are surprises still ahead. We will see. What I find most interesting is Vice President Vance's argument that Iran will only receive the reported $300 billion reconstruction package if it fulfills its obligations, including permanently giving up any path to nuclear weapons. That sounds reassuring. The problem is that I do not believe for one second that the Islamic Republic will ever agree to that. The regime has spent more than four decades deceiving Western governments while advancing its revolutionary agenda. Why should this time be different? Iran's rulers view nuclear capability as essential to their survival and to their broader ideological ambitions. They are not going to voluntarily surrender that objective. Which raises the real question: If Iran is never going to fully implement the agreement, what is the purpose of this 60-day ceasefire? One possible explanation is political. For years, Trump has faced criticism from parts of the populist and conservative movement claiming he is too aligned with Netanyahu and Israel. By publicly creating distance, criticizing Netanyahu, and pursuing diplomacy first, Trump can demonstrate to those voters that he is making decisions based on what he believes is best for America. That may strengthen his position heading into the midterm elections. Don't panic. Don't place your faith in Trump. Don't place your faith in Netanyahu. Don't place your faith in any human leader. Place your faith in Hashem. The God of Israel has carried our people through far greater challenges than this one.

Trump Announces Iran Deal... But There's a Bigger Problem

Israel's Defense Minister Makes Historic Declaration

 Yes, HKB”H is moving us along His “Deal” called redemption!

 

 President Trump has announced another potential deal with Iran, and many people are already reacting with fear, anger, or excitement. My message is simple: Don't panic. Some people misunderstand me. They assume that when I say not to panic, I mean the deal will never happen. That is not what I am saying. I have no idea whether it will happen or not. What I do know is that no agreement will change the fundamental nature of the Islamic Republic of Iran. The regime's jihadi ambitions, its hatred of Israel or the USA, and its desire to spread its jihad throughout the world are not going away because of signatures on a piece of paper. 

 The real lesson is that we must stop placing our faith in human leaders. 

 Whether Trump succeeds or fails, whether a deal is signed or not, the Jewish nation must place its faith in God alone. At the same time, we must continue doing what is necessary to ensure that the evil Islamic Republic of Iran can never again threaten Israel, the free world, or even its own suffering citizens. Jihadi Islam remains the greatest threat to civilization. No agreement signed in Washington changes that reality. More important than any announcement coming out of Washington was the recent declaration by Israel's Defense Minister. He made it clear that Israel will not withdraw from its security zones in Lebanon, Syria, and Gaza, that the IDF will continue defending Israel from forward positions, and that Gaza's jihadi infrastructure must be dismantled. He also spoke about advancing migration from Gaza and rebuilding Jewish communities in northern Gaza. 

 That is the news people should be paying attention to. It signals that Israel is continuing to move forward with the lessons of October 7th. It signals that Israel understands that security is achieved through strength, presence, and control—not wishful thinking. The next step must be even clearer: applying Israeli sovereignty to every area liberated from our jihadi enemies. Whether in Gaza, Judea and Samaria, southern Lebanon, or southern Syria, lasting victory comes when Israel takes responsibility for securing and developing the land rather than leaving vacuums that our enemies inevitably fill. 

 The lesson of October 7th is simple. If we are not there, they will be. After the Iranian and Qatari-backed invasion of southern Israel, no Israeli leader should ever again allow jihadi organizations—whether Sunni or Shiite—to build military threats on our borders. Stay strong. Keep your eyes on what Israel is actually doing on the ground. Have faith in the God of Israel. Support leadership that learns the real lessons of October 7th and acts accordingly. The Lion of Zion is awake. Am Yisrael Chai.

This Single Home Exercise Strengthens Your Legs Faster Than Gyming

 



What if the best leg-strengthening exercise doesn’t require a gym, machines, or expensive equipment? In this video, we uncover the surprising science behind backward walking — the simple home exercise that may strengthen your legs faster than gym workouts, improve your balance, reduce knee pain, and even boost brain function. Most gym machines train your body for machines. Backward walking trains your body for real life. Discover why walking backward activates your quads, glutes, hamstrings, and calves more intensely than many traditional gym exercises — while also improving coordination, stability, and neuroplasticity. You’ll learn: 🦵 Why backward walking builds real functional leg strength 🏠 How to start safely at home with zero equipment 🔥 The surprising muscle activation benefits compared to gym machines 🧠 How backward walking improves balance and brain function 🚶 Why it may reduce knee pain naturally ⚠️ The 5 biggest mistakes beginners make ✅ The safest and most effective way to progress over time If your legs feel weak, your knees hurt, or your balance has worsened, this simple home exercise may completely change how you train. No gym membership. No machines. No excuses. Just your legs, your home, and one direction nobody told you to try. DISCLAIMER: This video is for educational and informational purposes only and is not medical advice. Always consult a qualified healthcare professional before starting any new exercise program, especially if you have balance issues, knee injuries, arthritis, neurological conditions, or other medical concerns. Stop immediately if you experience sharp pain, dizziness, or loss of balance.


What Humming Does to Your Body That Silence Can't

 


You've been told that silence is the fastest way to calm your body down. It isn't. Silence removes noise. It does nothing to your heart rate, your blood chemistry, your nervous system, or the trapped gas sitting locked inside the hollow chambers of your facial bones right now.
Humming does all of that — in under 60 seconds — through pure mechanical physics.
In this video, we go deep into the biology of what actually happens when you close your mouth and hold a single note. You'll discover the eight air chambers carved inside your skull that most people never know they have, how a simple hum acts as a mechanical pump that floods your lungs with a gas 15 times more powerful than what silence produces, how the vibration physically contacts the nerve that controls your heart rate and forces it to slow down, and why humming automatically creates the exact breathing ratio that clinical protocols spend enormous effort trying to replicate — with zero counting, zero focus, and zero effort.
This is not a wellness tip. This is anatomy, acoustics, and neuroscience — and by the end, you will never think about silence the same way again.

Rudolf Steiner taught this he called it urythmia where you move your body around like dancing but movements aren't planned ❤

BTW, Rebbe Nachman followers use “dance movements” to counter evil decrees.

So, we witness, Rabbi Dov Landau uses “singing and movem3nt” to counter the erev rav!!

Rav Yisroel Najara zt"l

Tammuz 1, 5385 / 1625

Father's Name: Moshe Najara
Rabbi Yisrael Najara (c. 1555–1625) was a prolific Kabbalist, Biblical commentator, and the Chief Rabbi of Gaza. Born in Safed (or Damascus) and a student of the Arizal's circle, he is most famous as the towering Paytan (liturgical poet) who revolutionized Jewish music and poetry. 
His most enduring legacy includes:
  • "Kah Ribbon Olam": His legendary Aramaic piyut (hymn) sung at the Sabbath table.
  • Musical Innovation: He introduced the bold concept of setting sacred Hebrew and Aramaic lyrics to popular Spanish, Turkish, and Arabic melodies, seeking to elevate secular folk songs into tools for spiritual connection.
  • Prolific Output: He authored Zmirot Yisrael and Shocharet Tov, widely studied for their deep mystical themes and poetic genius.
  • Burial Place: He passed away in 1625 and is buried in the historical Jewish cemetery of Gaza.

From October 7th Horror to a Torah Scroll: The Story of Kibbutz Nahal Oz


The other day, I experienced one of those moments that reminds me just how blessed we are to be living in these historic times. I found myself dancing with a 92-year-old veteran resident of Kibbutz Nahal Oz during the first ever Torah scroll dedication ceremony for the kibbutz. Think about that for a moment. Nahal Oz never had a synagogue. Yet after the horrors of October 7th, something awakened. Kibbutz residents who experienced the unimaginable on Oct. 7th, with family and friends massacred and kidnapped into Gaza, felt a deeper connection to their Jewish identity, heritage, and roots. They asked for a Torah scroll to be brought into their community. For decades, many believed that modern Israel could thrive disconnected from its Jewish soul. But tragedy has a way of stripping away illusions and forcing us to rediscover what truly gives us strength. Standing there, dancing with Jews from all backgrounds around a Torah scroll in a kibbutz that never had one before, I couldn't help but feel that we were witnessing something much bigger than ourselves. This is not just a Torah scroll entering a kibbutz. This is a Torah scroll with the names of the kibbutz members murdered on Oct. 7th etched into the Torah scroll covering, representing a change overcoming Israeli society. This is another chapter in the incredible story of the Jewish people returning home, not only physically to our ancestral homeland, but spiritually to our identity, our heritage, and our destiny. The Jewish people are awakening. What a privilege to witness it. What a blessing to be part of it. Am Yisrael Chai!!! The Torah was donated thanks to the great work of Ken Freedman and Judy Freedman Kadish, following in the footsteps of their unbelievable mother, Helen Freedman, founder of AFSI/Americans For A Safe Israel.

The Best Foods to Eat First in the Morning and Evening (Backed by Science)

 Think about this! Are you feeling really good when you wake in the morning? Are you eating “fast food” and “snacks” during the day? Take charge and take care of your gift from Hashem. However, contrary to what some may think, a pitta with salad, tahina, and a couple felalel is super good. Read below.

What if the problem was never the food… but the order you ate it in? In this video, we explore one of the most overlooked discoveries in metabolic science: the sequence of food changes the biology of what happens next. The same meal can produce completely different glucose spikes, insulin responses, cravings, and energy levels depending on what lands in the stomach first. Drawing from research at Weill Cornell, Osaka University, and controlled circadian studies from Harvard and Brigham and Women’s Hospital, this video explains why vegetables and protein before carbohydrates can dramatically reduce post-meal glucose spikes — in some studies by over 70%. You’ll learn: • Why healthy breakfasts still cause energy crashes • Why evening meals hit harder after 50 • How GLP-1, insulin, and gastric emptying actually work • Why nighttime hunger is biologically programmed • The hidden difference between breakfast metabolism and dinner metabolism • The exact morning and evening eating sequence supported by science The meal did not change.

The Six Mitzvos of Guarding One’s Health

Why does any of this matter to halachic Yidden? Because guarding one’s health is not just common sense – it is a mitzvah. In fact, our Poskim point to as many as six of them.

1. There is the mitzvah of “veNishmartem me’od b’nafshosaichem” (Devarim 4:9) – the mitzvah of protecting our health and well-being.
2. Few have heard of the second mitzvah. The verse later on (Devarim 4:15), “Rak hishamer lecha,” is understood by most Poskim to comprise an actual second mitzvah (see Rav Chaim Kanievsky zt”l, Shaar HaTeshuvos #25) – to take special care.
3. There is a third mitzvah, “V’Chai Bahem – and you shall live by them” (VaYikra 18:5).
4. There is a fourth mitzvah found in the verse in Parshas Ki Saytzei (Devarim 22:2), which discusses the mitzvah of Hashavas Aveidah, returning a lost object, with the words “vahasheivoso lo – and you shall return it to him.” The Gemara in Sanhedrin (73a) includes within these words the obligation of returning “his own life to him as well.” In other words, this verse is the source for the mitzvah of saving someone’s life. This is the general mitzvah the Shulchan Aruch refers to in Orach Chaim 325.
5. “Lo Saamod al dam rayecha” – there is a fifth, a negative mitzvah, of not standing idly by your brother’s blood. This is mentioned in Shulchan Aruch (Choshen Mishpat 426:1) and in the Rambam. It includes yourself, and your spouse and children too, by leaving them without you, chalilah.
6. And finally, there is a sixth mitzvah – “Lo suchal l’hisaleim,” a negative commandment associated with the positive commandment of Hashavas Aveidah, in the verse in Devarim (22:3): “You cannot shut your eyes to it.” This verse comes directly after the mitzvah of Hashavas Aveidah. The Netziv (HeEmek She’eilah) refers to this mitzvah as well.

Note: 

Guarding one’s health also includes “treatments and medicines” that have deleterious affects on one’s perfectly created universe within one’s body. And the best treatment one can digest is the natural foods that Hashem planted in Mother Earth. Let food be one’s medicine. 🍉 🍎 🍌 🥕 🥗 🫜 Learn which ones are good for your internal chemistry.

   

The Sleep Position That Adds 11 Years to YOUR Arteries After 50

 


Most people think they sleep the way their body wants to. The physics says otherwise. For half the people over fifty who have ever been studied in a sleep laboratory, the position they spend eight hours in every night is silently aging their arteries by more than a decade — and they have never been told. The mechanism is not mysterious. It runs through one nerve, two structures the size of a grain of rice, and a single layer of cells one molecule thick. In this lecture, Feynman walks through the cascade from carotid body to endothelium to pulse wave velocity, naming the researchers and the journals that built the case piece by piece — Nedergaard's glymphatic discovery, Benveniste's posture study, Oksenberg's positional apnea work, Somers' three decades of sympathetic nerve recordings, and the Paris reference values that turn vascular stiffness into a literal age in years.

The Greatest Generation – Degel HaTorah Movement
THIS IS UNITY:  120,000 Chachamim Talmideihem! in Eretz Yisrael that are being acknowledged and loved by the Chachamim, Rabbis, and Talmidim in Chu"l

[...] the famous prophecy in the Book of Ezekiel (Chapter 37:15-28), where the prophet is instructed to take two pieces of wood ("sticks") and join them together in his hand so they become one.


Are we witnessing (someone greater in Torah please comment):

In Jewish tradition, Mashiach ben Yosef (MBY) is instrumental in the ultimate reconciliation and unification of the tribes of Yehuda (Judah) and Yisrael (Israel). According to eschatological teachings, his mission includes gathering the exiled tribes of Israel (the Northern Kingdom) and laying the groundwork before the reign of Mashiach ben David (the Southern Kingdom).


The two figures—one representing political and material ingathering (MBY), and the other representing spiritual leadership (Ben David)—work together to bridge the historical divide between the two houses of Israel. The unification of Yehuda and Yisrael involves several specific concepts:

  • Ephraim's Role: In prophetic texts, particularly in the Book of Jeremiah, MBY is closely associated with Ephraim (the dominant Northern tribe) and is tasked with the ingathering of the exiles.
  • Reunification of the Two Kingdoms: The ultimate redemption hinges on the prophecy in Ezekiel 37:16-19, where God commands the prophet to take two sticks—one for Yehuda and one for Yisrael—and join them together to become one in His hand. 
  • The Bridge of Binyamin (Benjamin): In Kabbalistic and Midrashic texts (such as those of the Ramchal), the tribe of Binyomin often acts as the spiritual bridge that unites the divergent missions of Yosef and Yehuda. Because the Holy Temple was built in Binyomin's territory, which physically straddled the borders of Yosef and Yehuda, it physically and metaphorically represents this unification

HaRav Moshe Sternbuch Shlit"a, Gavaad of Yerushalayim

[me: what to keep in mind if you decide to vote in the coming elections:]


ANTI-RELIGIOUS COALITIONS 

“And Korach the son of … took, along with Dasan and Aviram” (16:1) 

Korach was very wealthy, whereas Dasan and Aviram were poor.  In normal circumstances Korach would have deemed it beneath his dignity to associate with them, but for the sake of deprecating Moshe he was willing to join forces with them.

Rav Yonasan Eibeschutz explained Chazal’s statement that “Talmidei Chachamim increase peace in the world” (Brachos 64a) to mean that the talmid chacham acts as a catalyst causing those who hate religion to coalesce for the purpose of persecuting him.  In our time too, we see anti-religious elements who have nothing in common other than an anti-Torah platform forming alliances against religious people.

KORACH'S MISTAKE 

Korach, on the one hand, possessed Ruach Hakodesh:  he saw that Shmuel was destined to descend from him.  Moreover, he was genuinely convinced he was right in the dispute with Moshe.  If it were otherwise, he would not have willingly consented to Moshe’s suggestion to be tested by bringing ketores.  On the other hand, Chazal (Yerushalmi Sanhedrin Perek Chelek Chapter 1) say that Korach was an epikores.  How can we understand this discrepancy?

Korach was indeed righteous, but he thought that instead of punctiliously observing mitzvos a person should rather focus on the rationales behind them.  Thus, he asked Moshe, “Does a cloak made entirely of blue wool require tzitzis, or is it exempt?”  Moshe replied, “It does require tzitzis.”  

Korach and his associates laughed, saying, "Is it possible that in the case of a cloak made of another material, one string of blue wool exempts it, and this one, which is made entirely of blue wool, should not exempt itself?”  (Rashi on 16:1).  

Korach’s reasoning was that since the purpose of the mitzvah of t’cheles was to serve as a reminder of the Kisei Hakavod, it stood to reason that a tallis made entirely of t’cheles should automatically produce fear of heaven, and should therefore be exempt from tzitzis.  

Similarly, when he asked “Is one obligated to affix a mezuzah to the entrance of a house full of seforim?”  He meant to say that since the reason behind the mitzvah of mezuzah is to remind ourselves of Hashem at all times, in a house full of holy books we are in any case aware of Hashem’s Presence constantly.

This outlook was also responsible for his warped opinion regarding the appointment of Elizafan as nasi.  Knowing that he himself was greater, he could not understand why he had not been appointed to the position of nasi. 

Even though initially Korach was righteous and had good intentions, since he did not accept the yoke of Heaven upon himself to act in accordance with Hashem’s will, but only when it made sense to him based on the reasons for mitzvos, he deteriorated to the extent of fighting against Moshe and becoming an epikores.

TACTICS OF BAAlEI MACHLOKES

And they stood up before Moshe. (16:2)

People who have an agenda to generate machlokes are in the habit of displaying outward respect for the object of their dispute, thereby attempting to convince bystanders that they have nothing personal against him.  

Here too, Korach and his allies made a point of standing up for Moshe to show that they respected him, but merely objected to Moshe’s appointment of Aharon HaKohen, who, they argued, was not as great as Moshe claimed, and therefore his appointment had merely been an act of nepotism.  In other words, their main purpose in standing up was to make their humiliation of Aharon more palatable.

The worst type of lashon hara is when people start off praising the object of their scorn in order to cushion their subsequent slander.  The Chazon Ish noted that we say in the Yom Kippur Katan prayer, “I was stringent regarding that which You are lenient about, and I was lenient regarding that which You are stringent about.”  

In the first phrase, what is wrong with being stringent when we do not have to be?  This refers to a person whose main motivation is to be lenient when he should be stringent (the second phrase), but in order to pretend that he is particular about mitzvos, he makes a point of being stringent when he does not have to be to “compensate” for his custom of being lenient when he should not be.
