Michael Freund is a rabbi with an Ivy League education, and leader of important social initiatives. His broad world view provides a broad-based discussion on Israel’s ultra-Orthodox (Haredi) draft exemption, a growing source of societal tension throughout Israel. It’s centrality today originates after the Holocaust, but has ballooned into tens of thousands of deferments while others bear the heavy burden of military service. What are the causes, and ways to repair the division, to have greater Haredi integration, warning against politicizing Torah study and urging a balanced approach that honors both spiritual learning and national defense.

Twenty-five years after the Sbarro pizzeria bombing killed 16 people, including seven children, the family of 15-year-old American victim Malki Roth is still fighting for justice. Mastermind Ahlam Tamimi, released from Israeli prison in the 2011 Shalit deal, now lives freely in Jordan as a celebrity TV presenter despite being America's most wanted female fugitive with a $5 million bounty. Jordan continues shielding her in breach of its extradition treaty with the United States. Malki's father Arnold Roth, founder of the charity Keren Malki, joins us to discuss his two-decade pursuit of justice and what it will take to finally achieve it.

Israel is approaching one of its most consequential elections ever. It’s the first national election since the Hamas attack and massacre of October 7, 2023, and the war that followed, and is still taking place. It’s coming in the wake of global and domestic events that will impact the vote, one of the most significant being the latest US deal with the Islamic Republic of Iran. How do Israelis look at these issues? What are the parties and who are the personalities that they are evaluating in the lead up to the vote? How will recent polls showing a shift influence the vote of others who are undecided? How does faith play a role in the election and its outcome. Join this second part in a monthly series with six undecided voters to understand what they are thinking and why, and why it matters.

A formal legal demand letter had been sent to the Canadian Museum for Human Rights (CMHR) over its upcoming “Nakba” exhibit, “Palestine Uprooted: Nakba Past and Present.” There are broad concerns that the exhibit promotes a one-sided, historically inaccurate Palestinian Arab narrative that delegitimizes Israel, erases Jewish history, and risks inciting antisemitism. Even incitement to violence with slogans by some of its proponents to eliminate the Zionist disease. It calls on the museum to pause the exhibit, ensure balance, and comply with its mandate as a publicly funded human rights institution. Don James is CEO of Bridges for Peace Canada, in Winnipeg – the epicenter of this threat – and explains what happened and what needs to happen.

"For Zion's Sake: A Catholic Appeal in Support of Israel" is a passionate declaration by faithful Catholics countering the rising anti-Israel sentiment within Catholic circles, especially since the October 7, 2023 Hamas attack. It rejects both political delegitimization of Israel (accusations of apartheid, colonialism, and genocide) and theological supersessionism that denies the Jewish people’s ongoing covenant and connection to the Land. Drawing on Scripture, Nostra Aetate, and post-conciliar teaching, it affirms God’s irrevocable promises to Israel, supports the legitimacy of the Jewish State, and calls Catholics to reject anti-Zionism as a form of antisemitism while upholding moral standards and concern for Palestinian suffering. It urges active solidarity with Israel as integral to authentic Catholic faith. Hear why this is important and indeed revolutionary.

To read and sign the declaration, please use this link or contact us at inspirationfromzion@gmail.com to receive a PDF. https://www.catholicsforisrael.com/welcome/catholic-voices-for-israel/330-for-zions-sake-a-catholic-appeal-in-support-of-israel?fbclid=IwY2xjawSSDFhleHRuA2FlbQIxMQBzcnRjBmFwcF9pZBAyMjIwMzkxNzg4MjAwODkyAAEeeoJmwWC_aDb6TECagFw2GA1P_aGMAW9f-tw3Xlf8omVZ1KEEDCr_FIAaA8U_aem_GErJAIBp-UoLDtq4gYQeZw

Nearly 100 years after its founding, the Moslem Brotherhood remains one of the most dangerous Islamist organizations in the world. In 2025, the White House banned several Brotherhood-affiliated organizations, joining countries across the Middle East in doing so. Yet the Brotherhood's reach continues to grow. Hamas, its Palestinian arm, carried out the October 7, 2023, massacre in Israel and operates under the protection of Qatar and Turkey, two Brotherhood-aligned states notably absent from the US ban. Join us to examine how the Brotherhood evolved, how deeply it has penetrated governments and institutions across the Middle East and the West, and what must be done to confront it.

This year’s elections in Israel are lining up to be among the most consequential, and notably the first election since the Hamas attack and massacre. Israelis are in deep introspection about the personalities, the parties, and the policies that are most important this year perhaps more than ever. Many Israelis are confused, undecided about who to vote for, either shifting from a party they previously supported or looking to the emergence of new parties with new people leading voices for change. Whatever the outcome is, the process leading up to the election scheduled for October will not be boring. Join this panel, the first in a series, to understand what Israeli voters are thinking.
