UNRWA was originally a small agency mandated to provide basic humanitarian relief for Palestinians, including a vote for renewal every three years. Seventy-five years and four generations later, it has mushroomed to having more than 30,000 employees and an annual budget of substantially more than $1 billion, it has unjustifiably become one of the largest UN agencies. Revelations from the War in Gaza have also revealed that it has become a major resource for the Hamas terrorists with its employees assisting and participating in terrorist acts and crimes against humanity.

TFJ takes a serous look at cheerfully greeting others and smiling. From explaining the origin of the smiley emoji to the classic, true story of how a life was saved thanks to a cheerful greeting, this podcast (as always) gives substantial background to a rarely considered matter. More significantly, it will awaken dormant and atrophied friendliness muscles which should be a part of the daily fitness of every respectful and caring human being.

TFJ Season 4 Episode 17 The Informational War
Jan 1, 2025
20:49
TFJ invited eloquent and dynamic Alex Traiman, CEO of Jewish News Syndicate, to explain the current situation in the Middle East. Alex Traiman is a go to for accurate news analysis and uncensored perspective on what lay behind current events. In this eye-opening interview (recorded On November 25, 2024) Mr. Traiman provides a fascinating understanding of Prime Minister Netanyahu who is constantly reviled by the Left and the Media without ever acknowledging the man’s incredible fortitude and leadership. The JNS Jerusalem Bureau Chief also lucidly explained how recent events have shattered myths and conceptions such as, “The devil we know is better than the devil we do not know,” “Good fences make good neighbors,” “Our enemies care more about their economic well-being than they do about killing Jews.” With trenchant examples, Traiman explains how each one of these concepts was faulty and has proven to be a notion that misled policy with tragic consequences. There was also the military misconception that believed that troops on the ground were not necessary if there was the proper monitoring and surveillance in place. In his hallmark way of looking at the positive, Traiman recognizes the current war as an opportunity to repair the false concepts which will enable Israel to emerge stronger and smarter. For up to the minute news analysis by competent experts one is advised to check out JNS.com and JNS TV. Learn more at TellerFromJerusalem.com Don’t forget to subscribe, like and share!

TFJ Season 4 Episode 19 Israel was Promised the Negev, yet the UN Envoy Wished to Amputate it and Transplant it to Jordan
Jan 15, 2025
19:42
After the first truce was called in Israel’s War of Independence, the United States and Britain, acting through the United Nations, wished to secure a lasting peace in the region. The United Nations mediator was Count Foke Bernadotte, who unabashedly viewed himself as a soon-to-be Nobel Prize laureate and assumed many liberties that succeeded in making himself extremely unpopular to both sides of the conflict. Bernadotte’s scheme for achieving regional peace entailed amputating the Negev region from Israel and limiting Jewish immigration. With pressure mounting upon Israel to make concessions that it could not afford, the prudent option Ben Gurion concluded was to take the Negev by force. Young and brilliant commander Yigal Allon was responsible for this campaign and employed some innovative techniques that would become the hallmark of Israeli military strategy.

Jan 29, 2025
22:44
When the second truce in Israel’s War of Independence went into effect on July 18, 1948, Israel was militarily in a far better position than it had been at the outbreak of the War. Still, work was still very much cut out for the nascent IDF as Egyptian forces had pressed so deep into the Negev that they were able to menace the key artery linking Tel Aviv to the southern towns and Jewish settlements. Israel’s innovative, young commander of the Negev campaign was Yigal Allon. In order to break the Egyptian hold, he would have to get his troops to the south undetected. Allon’s soldiers discovered an ancient route built by the Romans 2000 years earlier, known as the Ruheiba Trail. The Egyptians logically expected an Israeli assault from the conventional route and were totally unprepared for an enemy that materialized out of nowhere from a trail that was concealed and provided natural cover.

FDR’s State Department, and the visa division in particular, headed by Breckinridge Long, adopted a policy of overt anti-semitism and kept the doors of the United States sealed to refugees whose life depended upon escaping Europe. MacDonald beseeched FDR to condemn the Nazi treatment of Jews to no avail.

TFJ: Series 1 Episode 25: The Birth of Israel During the 1995-96 academic year, Yale University altered its housing policy to require freshmen and sophomores to live in coed dormitories without gender-specific bathrooms. Four (originally five) Orthodox Jewish freshmen appealed to the administration to absolve them from this requirement as it violated Jewish norms of modesty. Although Yale granted exemptions to others, it would not budge for the Yale Five who ended up suing the college for violating their constitutionally protected freedom of religion. Here is another poignant example of people expressing opinions despite their ignorance.

TFJ: Special Episode! The Haganah launched a floating underground railroad to bring immigrants into Israel after the conclusion of WW II. The British enforced their White Paper which forbade Jewish immigration to Palestine, so Holocaust survivors who were caught trying to run the blockade were incarcerated under cruel conditions in Cyprus. In a daring move, the Haganah retrofitted an old steam liner packing it with over 5000 Jews that were languishing in DP camps and sailed to Israel in the summer of 1947. His Majesty’s Navy attacked the boat, renamed the Exodus, killing and wounding passengers. The survivors were not sent to nearby Cyprus, but to the belly of the beast they had just barely escaped, Germany. The harshness and the heartlessness of the British was a media headline causing sympathy for the Zionist cause and would ultimately be an inspiration to Soviet Jewry.

TFJ: Series 2: Episode 1 Character Workshop Welcome to our second season of Teller From Jerusalem. We are kicking things off with an episode on Character Development, focusing on Anger. Anger is a very destructive emotion, and accordingly we must implement a plan to ensure that rage does not usurp us from the driver’s seat, lest we say words that can destroy relationships and even marriages. Even intelligent and kind people surrender their wisdom and sense of proportion under the influence of untamed anger. TFJ provides some nifty tips and insights that demonstrate that we can indeed control our temper, and guard our tongues from not uttering regrettable and damaging statements. How do you react when you encounter an enraged person, what should you do if you think what you are about to do may precipitate an angry response, and how can you harness your angry emotions in a beneficial way? All of this is addressed in our first session on Anger. Episode 2 will drop in two weeks - subscribe to make sure you never miss an episode.

How Did the British Cope With the Arab Revolt of 1936-39 and The Evian Conference
How Did the British Cope With the Arab Revolt of 1936-39 and The Evian Conference
Mar 9, 2022
18:53
TFJ Series 2: Episode 2 The Arab revolt resulted in widespread violence across the land aimed at both Jewish and British targets. British officer and Christian Zionist, Orde Wingate trained Hagana fighters how to defend themselves. These troops assisted the British in quelling the Arab Revolt. These very same troops instructed by the British would become members of a Jewish revolt against the British less than ten years later. As the world was shocked by the atrocities performed against the Jews featured in the news after the Anschluss in March 1938, there was pressure in Washington to make a humanitarian effort on behalf of the refugees. America announced the Evian Conference to take place in July 1938 at Lake Geneva composed of 32 countries to alleviate the refugee crises. The conference was a total farce as no country, with the exception of the Dominican Republic, was prepared to open their borders and assist the refugees. This sent a clear message to Hitler that he would do whatever he wished and the suffering of millions of humans in Europe did not interest the world.

TFJ: The Birth of Israel Series 2 Episode 5 The Partition Plan which would have enabled the creation of a Jewish State was not looking promising. The American State Department was adamantly opposed, dampening President Truman’s support. The Soviet’s were in favor of partition, which presented a rare opportunity as with the Soviets came their satellite countries. It would take Dr. Chaim Weizmann with all of his wisdom and charm to convince President Truman to vote for partition and put the United States’ weight behind it. After the motion for Jewish statehood passed in the UN, there was rejoicing in Israel and in Jewish communities throughout the world. The Arab reaction was a wave of lethal violence. The Yishuv began making hasty preparations for war. The Etzion Block in the Hebron hills south of Jerusalem was besieged by Arab guerrillas. A relief column of 35 of Hebrew University’s brightest students never made it to their comrades and were killed and mutilated by Khader el Husseini’s soldiers.

And what is the breath of Gd? 37:52 Is there a source for lead pouring as a way of getting rid of ayin hara?

Would it be mutar for a biological man to say he identifies as a woman in order to pay a smaller premium? 49:57 How could two opposite statement be true? 52:38 In terms of Tu B’Av, how do we understand the gemara’s reasons for a public shidduch day so to speak and how did times change? 58:56 How is it that Targum Onkelos was min HaShamyim? 1:02:29 Do we make Yam Hagadol bracha on the Pacific Ocean? 1:03:24 Why wouldn’t the whole world be made Jewish such that everyone would have the maximum opportunity for closeness to Hashem? 1:07:02 if the Talmud discusses 8 genders of Judaism, what does that mean? 1:08:37 Why do we accept Kabbalah today in Halacha? 1:13:09 If I can’t finish slichos, tachanun, general tefillah or the like, am I’m missing out on certain forgiveness capacity? 1:16:43 How do we relate to the destruction of the Temple if we never experienced it and why would our lowly generation be fortunate enough to have it rebuilt? 1:22:53 Why do Ashkenazim and Sephardim differ in the way they cover their eyes in Shema? 1:24:50 Kesubos is the current masechta in Daf Yomi cycle. A lot of the material discussed is about rape and other material that some may find disturbing. Can the Rav share some advice on how to approach this masechta with the right perspective. Alternatively, if learning this masechta will bother or discourage someone everyday, is it better to just learn something else? 1:30:16 How does it work that Torah is the ultimate healer but the Rambam states that one needs other outlets? 1:32:30 Why do we follow certain halachos today that some rabbanim wouldn’t have approved of? 1:36:25 Rashi in Moed Katon explains the practice of the Beis Din placing a stone on someone’s coffin as a זכר בעלמא of stoning someone who died while excommunicated. If so, why do we place stones on graves today? 1:37:32 Why didn’t Avraham get punished for asking for a guarantee for Israel’s quality while the Meraglim did? 1:39:36 How do we view the seemingly vain descriptions of women in Ta’anis? 1:41:31 If creative acts are forbidden on Shabbos (melachos) why is intimacy permitted, isn’t that the most creative act? 1:43:47 What messages was Hashem trying to convey to Eliyahu during Har HaCarmel events?

Comments? [email protected] Subscribe to the Rabbi Breitowitz Q&A Podcast at https://plnk.to/rbq&a Submit questions for the Q&A with Rabbi Breitowitz https://forms.gle/VCZSK3wQJJ4fSd3Q7 Subscribe to our YouTube Channel at https://www.youtube.com/c/OhrSomayach/videos 4:00 - What exactly constitutes a “ben Eretz Yisrael” vs. “ben Chutz l’Aretz” for how many days of Yom Tov to keep? 9:06 - Is there any source for the idea that religious jews need to have marital relations through a hole in the sheet? 11:03 - When we left Egypt, what happened to the Mixed Multitude and why were they not included in the census? 15:30 - There is a biblical obligation to listen to the Rabbis. It would seem that when a Rabbi says something, it would have effect of torah law. So when a person doesn’t turn in high school homework on time, that would be a biblical violation. How much agency is a person allowed to have? If I’m a Trump guy, can a rabbi force me to vote for Biden? Can he tell me who to marry or not to marry? How does this work in practice? 25:42 - On the pasuk in Devarim where Moshe is describing that it was his decision to send the meraglim into Eretz Yisrael, and many meforshim comment that this seemingly contradicts the earlier description of the story where it was Hashem’s decision. I recently read the Abarbanel’s description where he seems to say that he was deliberately lying because he didn’t want them to turn against Hashem since this episode caused the entire generation to perish in the midbar. How can the Abarbanel make this interpretation that Moshe was lying? In other contexts we might have said it came from a reform rabbi. How does he have the authority to do this, and why is it not a problematic thing to say? 30:35 - Why is kilayim a seemingly unique mitzvah in that we are not allowed to make it but we can benefit from it, unlike kashrut, shatnez, etc.? 34:23 - From the Hasidic community where a lot of women shave their hair, which became an attack against the Orthodox community, what is the Rav’s take on the concept [of shaving]? If someone grew up with that Mesorah, would they be allowed to change such a thing? 38:17 - Could the Rav give some insight on the covid vaccines, vaccines in general, etc.? 43:44 - Are observant Jews allowed to eat in non-kosher certified, but strictly vegetarian restaurants, assuming one is not eating leafy vegetables for example? 46:53 - About the Gemara in Chagigah, could Elisha b. Avuyah (“Acher”) done teshuva? How are we to understand the Gemara’s aftermath of his death where R’ Meyer and R’ Yochana see smoke and fire rising from his grave? 53:05 - What are the parameters for what a person can use their maaser ksafim, their tithe? Specifically, can one give out money to Israeli soldiers as it might be good for Haredi public relations? 56:50 - How did Tumas Niddah work during the times of the Beis HaMikdash? When a woman, married or unmarried, became a Niddah, and everything she touched became contaminated, how would that work? How did life look? 1:01:06 - About the luchos shnios. 1:08:02 - How is someone who would want their children to grow up in Israel, are there options, are they allowed to have hobbies, are they encouraged, what is the move for such parents? Is this a system they should try and fit their kids into, or are there other things they should be exploring? 1:14:24 - Are non-misdemeanor traffic offense a chillul Hashem if one can pay the fine without needing to appear in court? 1:16:37 - Is there a problem with saying Hashem’s name in a non-pasuk or non-bracha. 1:17:49 - Should terrorists receive the death penalty? 1:20:05 - Is it permitted to daven for something you want but that, if it happens, it could be dangerous? 1:22:37 - Are there any ways to validate the “flat-Earth” view from the Torah or are there any Torah personalities that took such a view? 1:25:45 - How should bnei Torah look at the Pope, Dali Lama, or other religious figures who seem to be doing great things for the world or at least their communities but are likely worshiping idols, not ones that are evil or in context of their relationship with the Jews but promoting good things for the world? 1:30:23 - (Follow up) Would Jews living their Judaism as superficially as [only the practices of their forefathers] be lacking in a certain way, or is it different? 1:32:27 - Regarding teshuva, in general, how does one begin, and specifically, how does someone do teshuva or get a full tikkun for wasting seed? What about someone who had a relationship with one of the prohibitions, arayos or a niddah? 1:36:33 - What advice does the Rav have for children, or parents of children, who just can’t seem to wake up in the morning for minyan?

Are there other withdrawn books? 33:50 Does the halacha change when new seforim are discovered? 36:15 Why does the Torah say by malchos that it is 40-1, i.e. not just 39? 40:08 Why is that in parashas Mishpatim that the master of a Jewish slave and a goyishe maidservant, and keep the children as slaves? 46:00 When klal Yisroel was given the Torah sha’b’ksav it was accepted freely, but it is also considered to represent midas haDin.
