By Michael Freund, Jerusalem Post— It is a short clip, barely 24 seconds long, that was neither filmed professionally nor with a steady hand.

By Arlene Bridges Samuels, CBN Israel— Peace between Jews and Palestinian Arabs seems as distant as the earth from the moon. Ancients and moderns worldwide have been fascinated by this celestial body, and the Jewish community sets its time by the lunar clock. But no one imagined going to the moon until the last century.…
By Emily Schrader, Jerusalem Post— The year 2021 proved unquestionably that modern antisemitism is often manifested in anti-Zionism and anti-Israel hatred.
