TFJ Season 5 Episode 17 The Leadup to the Sinai Campaign, Part Two
Teller From Jerusalem
After Israel’s stunning and unpredictable victory (especially from the Arab perspective) in the War of Independence, there was a colossus of bruised pride in the Arab World. To answer the heretofore imponderable, “How could Israel have been victorious?” a narrative emerged, “We did not lose because Israel was strong, but rather because our leaders were weak.” The search began for strong military men who could restore Arab dignity, and the undisputed rising star was Colonel Gamal Abdel Nasser of Egypt. Nasser was a pan-Arabist who maintained that Arabs were born for greatness and...

TFJ Season 5 Episode 15 The Road to Suez: Episode 1 - Conspiracies in the Sand
Teller From Jerusalem
As already explained in an earlier episode (Season Five Episode 6) the Fedayeen terrorist raiders would sneak into Israel, murder, sabotage, set fire, steal, and slip back across the border to Egypt and Jordan. This was death by a thousand cuts to Israel. And then things deteriorated precipitously when in September of 1955, Nasser announced that Egypt has signed a massive arms deal with Czechoslovakia (read: Russia) which will give Egypt an enormous military edge over Israel and enable the Fedayeen to be backed by tank brigades. Nasser openly states that he intends to destroy Israel and he...

TFJ Season 5 Episode 11 South African Embrace: A Hostage Healing Initiative (B) – Big Lessons Here
Teller From Jerusalem
Rabbi Aharon Zulberg, and the other people he credits, was still scratching his head as to what significant thing South African Jewry might do on behalf of their brethren affected by the war. His synagogue, “The Bais” teamed up with the Jewish National Fund of South Africa to offer respite for hostages released from the terror tunnels of Gaza and in urgent need of relaxation and tranquility. What better place could there be than the beautiful country of South Africa and an initiative was launched uniting Jews, and in the process learning about the inestimable good there is in people. ...

TFJ Season 5 Episode 10 South African Embrace: A Hostage Healing Initiative (A)
Teller From Jerusalem
Rabbi Aharon Zulberg from Johannesburg, South Africa, like so many other Jews worldwide (and other very fine people, think of Dr. Julie Snyder from Beaufort, SC who jumped into action when she heard that knee pads were needed for soldiers – featured in our podcast “An Outpouring of Kindness” at the time the October 7 War broke out) wish to contribute to those affected by the war in Israel. Rabbi Zulberg is a pragmatist and he realized that South African Jewry, with a weak currency could not compete with North American and European communities. Still, he and so many others wished...

TFJ Season 5 Episode 8 Strategic Impact Legislation with Rabbi Dr. Moshe Goldfeder
Teller From Jerusalem
The assault on Jews in college campuses and even in front of synagogues mandates a firm reaction, especially in light of the fact that the government national and local has been quick to condemn, but has offered no other relief. Some bright Jewish minds have rallied on behalf of those under threat, relying primarily on title six of the Civil rights Act of 1964. So far these suits have not borne a huge harvest. Rabbi Dr. Moshe Goldfeder of the National Jewish Advocacy Center – and so much more – explains in this episode how he has expanded the tool box of ways to effectively protect Jews on...
info_outlineIn 1950 the Israeli Parliament passed a dramatic and symbolic law known as The Law of Return. This would finally bring an end to the description of “The Wandering Jew.” The Law also brought a formal end to the execrable White Paper of 1939 (by the British Government) and a symbolic overturning of the Nuremberg Laws which the Nazis employed to determine who was Jewish. The Law of Return employed the same (non-halachic) status: if you were Jewish-enough to be condemned to death by the Nazis, then you were Jewish enough to be deserving of the protection of the State of Israel.
Jewish refugees from Arab countries had to flee for their lives (and not everyone was so fortunate) to the State of Israel, resulting in the arrival of 850,000 desperate refugees.
Israel cared for her brethren and saw to it that they would not be referred to or be looked upon as refugees. And yet, the primitive conditions in which they were originally housed in transit camps or ma’abarot was appalling.
