Museum level pieces from the Jewish Community of Afghanistan 🇦🇫 One of the most meaningful projects I have got the pleasure of working on, by preserving the distinctly Jewish culture that survived and bringing it to life in Israel🇮🇱 Cultural restoration— @naomi_kogan Photographer — @natali.sakovsky Antiques & historical details — @vintstoryco #diaspora #israel #afghanistan #jewish

Israeli and Palestinian finally discuss what happens in a reality without “resistance“ #islam #israel #palestine #israeli #judaism

Misconception 🇮🇱🇵🇸❗️Jews don’t have a right to Israel because we face antisemitism, Jews are Israel we are responsible over be land and deeply attached. The fact that Israel protects Jews is not the “raison d’être” of our rebirth it’s a natural outcome of a much bigger mission we have as the Nation of Israel. After Oct 7, polarization has skyrocketed and the climate has shifted drastically. Im happy to be having these conversations again. This video is part of a longer conversation with a Palestinian from Ramallah living outside the land. It will be uploaded on my YT.

In loving memory of Alexandre Avraham Look HY”D. Alexandre is a hero of Israel who risked his life at the Nova festival saving at least 9 people. Raquel, is a lioness a true warrior as she recounts the last moments she had over the phone with Alex she pledges in the same breath to keep fighting. Raquel’s strength is inspiring and powerful. Today on Oct 7th, we honour Alexandre Avraham Look and all our fallen heroes 🇮🇱

Maybe next generation the Venice Film Festival will stop awarding the side that kills Jews, for now we can rest assured that they are nothing close to the arbiters of what is moral.

CREATION 💥⏳🌎 Shanna Tova, Israeli edition 🇮🇱🪬✨🍯 5787, to a year of unity and power for Am Israel. This past year I became Israeli, I became a lawyer and got the opportunity to defend Israel in ways that I’m really grateful for. My intention this year is to play a part in having a positive impact shifting culture and empowering Am Israel, making Israel a home that I can welcome all my friends and family to. I feel deeply that this is going to be a huge transformative year and I’m incredibly grateful for the community on here honestly b”h. Welcoming an abundance of blessings coming our way and actualizing the potential to be my highest self. Thank you hashem for this life.

I had the honor of wearing traditional Moroccan Jewish garments that are nearly 180 years old, working with Naomi who does restoration work 🇮🇱🇲🇦 These are not modern costumes inspired by Moroccan or Jewish history. They are distinctly Jewish, museum-level pieces that survived from the ancient Jewish communities of Morocco and were carefully preserved and restored using antique garments, museum sketches, lithographs, old photographs, and family records. That survival matters. When many Moroccan Jews left the country where their families had lived for generations, some departed in haste and could carry only a small part of their material heritage. I don’t have my from my family so it was such an honour to bring light to these pieces, in addition to my passion of reviving Hebrew culture 🇮🇱 Clothing, photographs, jewelry, and other pieces of everyday Jewish life were left behind or lost. What survived carries the memory of the Jewish women who made these garments, wore them, and passed them down. There is something especially meaningful about the woman @naomi_kogan who preserved these pieces: a Jew of Russian Diaspora who returned to Judea and brought her collection home to Israel. Through her work, the heritage of Moroccan Jewry and other dispersed Jewish communities is being gathered, restored, and given life again in the Jewish homeland. Is that not the Jewish story ? I also wanted to shed light on the fact that this is Jewish clothing! Distinctly Jewish. When we think of traditional we think It was a privilege to wear these Moroccan Jewish pieces and to work with such a devoted restorer and just as passionate photographer @natali.sakovsky Thank you to the collector @vintstoryco

Empathy and understanding are important, but Emet is Emet. We can and must hold space in our hearts for the suffering of Palestinians, but that doesn’t mean we negate or deny the series of facts surrounding the suffering - whether it’s Israeli or Palestinian. This is such an important conversation because it shows how we can retain our empathy and also uphold a more just and wholistic narrative.

This week on ILTV Insider, Canadian Jewish activist Ysabella Hazan discusses a growing dilemma for Israelis traveling abroad: Should they hide their Israeli identity amid rising antisemitism, or refuse to live in fear? She joins Calev Ben-David and former Israeli Ambassador to the U.S. Danny Ayalon to discuss the risks Israelis face overseas and how they should respond.

Israelis are not *from* other countries. We were expelled *to* other countries. Our migration patterns are not our origins.

Alignment 🪄🇮🇱🪬 Blue and white in my veins, not just the fit. The beginning of a new journey but one that has been a very long time in the making. It’s so special to have built a community over the years from first year law school to my days at the consulate. Over the years I’ve kept a lot private but sharing my Aliyah feels right and it’s something that I enjoy sharing. So many of you are considering making Aliyah. My advice is - keep in mind Israel is not a retirement home, it’s here for us to join and take part in it’s rebuilding. There’s never going to be a convenient time. Live out your dreams even if it’s difficult at first. There’s no better place to tell Israel’s story than from Israel. ‏אין עוד מלבדו

Coming back home 🇮🇱 What a blessing to rejoin my civilization back in our land - we were Hebrews, Israelites, Judeans and today Israeli. I chose to become Israeli on the Jewish holiday of Tu b’Av to honour my grandfather David Hazan who passed away on this holiday. Tu b’Av is a holiday of Jewish unity and love. It’s a day that felt the most aligned for me because I love my people and love my land. I am not running away from anything, I am running to Israel. I chose to make Aliyah out of love, that’s the necessity. Blessed to have the best parents ever and I honour them in all that I do because it is thanks to the education, support and love that I grew up with that I had the courage to make this decision. Todah Boreh Olam, I love you hashem. B”H I know amazing things are to come. 🇮🇱🪬🤍 (Also so happy to have my brother with me especially when I a landed 🛬)

Fast forward nearly 2,000 years. On the 9th of the Hebrew month of Av, the Jewish people still mourn the destruction of our Holy Temple. Yet today, Jerusalem is in Jewish hands once again. Standing before the Arch of Titus with an Israeli flag is a powerful reminder that while Rome became history, the Nation of Israel endured. Our language and commitment to Hebrew culture lives today we are Israelis and the Judean rebel fighters that were once paraded and taken captive in Rome are redeemed. Romes attempt to erase us failed. It’s important to remember this is just the beginning of our redemption. The Arch of Titus was built to celebrate our defeat, depicting awful images of menorah and rebel fighters stolen. Today, the arch of Titus stands as a monument to Hebrew survival and Rome’s fall. As I hold the Israeli flag representing Hebrew civilization sovereignty, yet again I am filled with the confidence that the architect of History, hashem’s hand is always blessing and protecting us. Today on the 9th of Av, we mourn the destruction of our temple but I know that soon our baseless love for eachother will bring back the third temple b”h🇮🇱

Judean Lawyer 🪬⚖️👩🏽‍⚖️ Officially Barrister & Solicitor Thank you Hashem. Thank you to my parents.

Numbers don’t lie. The Islamic regime has murdered *10x* more Iranians *deliberately* in this war. @brhan_worku coming in with the Hebrew verse Emet (truth) straight from the Talmudic source. When someone comes to kill you, we have the moral obligation to rise and kill first. This philosophy saves lives by taking out the aggressor and in this war it’s Hezbollah, the IRGC and the rest of their harmful terror armies. —— #israeli #iranian #american #gaza #iran

Tell with a straight face that I look like I’m from Poland. I am a Jew from Israel. #streettalks #israel #jewish #protest #arab

If it’s in anyone’s interest to create a just and truly peaceful future it is the locals of the region. I want to see a future where there is acceptance for the Jewish story and our historical act of decolonization coming back to our land. In addition to, an end to the Terrorist groups dividing the region and torturing locals. It’s time for the locals to be the masters of our own house and create a sustainable reality. #Israeli #persian #american #palestinian

I’m a God fearing Jew, I know peace is inevitable. As Jews we accomplished harder tasks we’ve revived an ancient language and civilization. The natural next step of our liberation is peace with our neighbours.

In downtown Montreal, I went to speak with counter-protesters demonstrating on the Hebrew date of Israeli Independence Day, which fell in April this year. For many Jews, Israel’s independence from the British Mandate represents both an anti-imperial movement and the re-establishment of Indigenous Jewish sovereignty in our ancestral homeland. Whether people agree or disagree politically, I think one reality has become clear: the idea that Israel can be resisted out of existence has not brought peace, safety, or a better future for anyone. Decades of violence, including the Intifadas and the horrors of October 7th, have only led to more pain on all sides. Jews are deeply and historically connected to the Land of Israel, and that connection is not going away. Israel is a reality, and the path forward has to come through dialogue, accountability, coexistence, and honest conversations — not hatred or slogans shouted past one another. That’s why I showed up: to listen, speak, and engage face to face. This video is in honour of Alexandre Avraham Look H"YD, a Hero of Israel and a local Montrealer who gave his life to protect others at the Nova Music Festival on Oct 7 @raquelook 🎥: @yohanrebboh
