On May 3, President Donald J. Trump marked the National Day of Prayer by signing an executive order creating the White House Faith and Opportunity Initiative. At the signing ceremony in the White House Rose Garden, Trump referred to this initiative as “another historic action to promote religious freedom.”

The executive order revoked previous presidential faith-based initiatives, namely President George W. Bush's Office of Faith-Based and Community Initiatives and President Barack Obama's Office of Faith-Based and Neighborhood Partnerships.

From K Street to the Knesset – Pt 2:  Addressing Anti-Semitism at Home and Abroad

3/28/2018

Spring has sprung.

It has come in like a lion. But I hope that it goes out like a lamb. And I’m not talking about the weather. Well, kind of…

On Friday, March 16, an elected official from DC’s Council serving the residents of Ward 8, made a regrettable statement.  This was not his first. His subsequent apologies rang with a sense of sorrow. They spoke of regret. They addressed a need to move forward and to use the remarks as a learning experience.

On Feb. 14, U.S. Sen. Mike Lee (R-Utah) and Rabbi Dr. Meir Y. Soloveichik discussed the relationship between religion and American government and the contributions that biblical ideas have made to American political thought at an event hosted by the Hoover Institution. The discussion, which took place in partnership with the Tikvah Fund at the Hoover Institution’s Washington, D.C., satellite office, was part of the institution’s monthly “Opening Arguments” series and was moderated by Research Fellow Adam J. White.

Israel Bonds Washington Executive Director Adam Herman pens an op-ed in Kol HaBirah to recap the 2017 year.  I'm quoted saying:

“To me, the most tangible thing a Jewish man or woman in the diaspora can do to support Israel is to make aliyah, and the second most tangible thing is to support the country economically," said Langsner. "I choose Israel Bonds as one of my ways to do that.”

From K Street to the Knesset – Pt 1:  Zionism Today and Into Tomorrow

1/17/2018

It is the year of chai (18) – of life – so let us all hope that 2018 is the year that a just and lasting peace is found between the Israeli people and the Palestinian people.

Some signs point to optimism, such as the recent behind-the-scene actions of Egypt’s President Abdel Fattah al-Sisi and Saudi Crown Prince Mohammed bin Salman in how they’re approaching a new peace plan with the Palestinian Authority (PA) leadership.  Other signs point to continued pessimism, such as how the PA and United Nations reacted to President Donald Trump recognizing Jerusalem as the capitol at the end of 2017, that such a peace will not be found this year.
