prayer

People who moved to Israel felt scared in the one place they did not expect to feel threatened for their Judaism.

The polls also found that most Israelis think that Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu's recent visit to New York went well.

National Security Minister Itamar Ben-Gvir and the Kaplan Force protest organization have announced their opposing evening prayer services in Dizengoff Square.

The demonstrators were claiming that the services' gender segregation was inappropriate as such segregation is technically banned in public spaces. 

The conflict broke out after some of those praying tried to set up partitions in the square to create gender segregation.

This Christian prayer call does not appear to be for Jewish conversion, rather it calls for non-Jews to come to the God of the bible.

God wants us to keep trying to be good people and good Jews. He wants us to be close to Him in whatever ways we can be.

For me, descending directly from the generations that had to make vows to another religion in order to survive, Kol Nidre became a beacon of light during a very dark time.

Over two million people took part in Slihot services at the Western Wall this year.

Even as it creates this challenge, the liturgy provides a solution by offering a range of different modes of relating to God.
