Toras Moshe: Igros Moshe/ Parsha of Torah - Available on Amazon

 https://www.amazon.com/dp/B0FTG1QYDB

This is a compilation of my translations/paraphrasing of the tshuvos in Igros Moshe that people have asked me about as well as material from the Rabbinic literature that is about the Parsha. In general I have not translated the extensive reasoning that Rav Feinstein has presented but rather the main ideas. This is not meant as a halachic code of Rav Feinstein's rulings but merely as a quick way to find some topics. A person should always read the original Hrbrew and consult with his Rabbi for actual practical rulings.

Kirk’s letter, first published by the New York Post, did indeed start with the sentence: "One of my greatest joys as a Christian is advocating for Israel and forming alliances with Jews in the fight to protect Judeo-Christian civilization."

He went on to say: "I regret to report that anti-Israel and antisemitic trends are at record levels on social media. These negative sentiments then flow downstream into college campuses and even seep into the conservative MAGA community."

Kirk details the main questions and points he is often asked to answer during campus tours and warns that "Israel is getting CRUSHED on social media and you are losing younger generations of Americans, even among MAGA conservatives."

"I’m accused of being a paid apologist for Israel when I defend her," he wrote, "however, if I don’t defend Israel strongly enough, I’m accused of being antisemite. I know you’ve got a 7 front war and my kvetching pales in comparison."

"But I’m trying to convey to you that Israel is losing support even in conservative circles," Kirk said. "This should be a 5 alarm fire."

Now, some people are saying the full letter disproves Owens' narrative, including Pro-Israel activist Gideon Askowitz, who said in a post on X on Tuesday: "Charlie Kirk’s letter to Israel is one of the most damning indictments on Candace Owens ever. The letter is dripping with LOVE for Israel and a frustration for its failure on social media."

Similarly, Australian freelance filmmaker Nathan Livingstone, who runs MilkBarTV and is followed by prominent American conservatives such as Kelly and Ashley St. Clair, said: "Candace was COMPLETELY WRONG."

Yom Kippur: The gift of a clean slate

The holiest day of the year is not about guilt; it is about freedom, renewal and the courage to begin again 

For many, Yom Kippur conjures images of long prayers, fasting and solemn rituals. But beneath the surface, it is not a day of heaviness. It is a day of release.

Yom Kippur offers something rare in our world: the chance to wipe the slate clean. Imagine carrying a heavy backpack filled with regrets, mistakes and disappointments. On Yom Kippur, you are invited to set it down. To breathe. To walk forward lighter than before.

Fact Check: Are Dems Shutting Government Over Illegal Immigrant Healthcare?

Vice President JD Vance said Monday that Democratic Senators have some “crazy ideas,” including funding healthcare for illegal immigrants, and White House Deputy Chief of Staff Stephen Miller also shared a similar message on X.

Republicans stating Democrats want to provide healthcare to illegal immigrants is not true, with minority party leaders insisting they want to keep lawful residents, and American citizens, covered by health plans while negotiations continue.
