Pulse of Israel usually is focued solely on Israel, but this about a non-Israel location has a deep connection to Israel and our Jewish story today.In this special episode of Pulse of Israel, Avi Abelow takes you on a journey through the breathtaking walled city of Dubrovnik, Croatia, revealing how a vacation became a powerful reminder of the miracle of modern Israel and why every Jew should appreciate the unique generation in which we live.Beyond the stunning medieval walls, crystal-clear Adriatic Sea, sunset kayaking, hidden swimming coves, and one of Europe's most beautiful historic cities lies a remarkable Jewish story spanning nearly 2,000 years. Avi learned how Jewish merchants from the Roman Empire and later Sephardic exiles from Spain and Portugal helped transform Dubrovnik into one of the Mediterranean's greatest commercial centers, connecting Jewish communities across Europe, North Africa, and the Ottoman Empire.He visited one of Europe's oldest Sephardic synagogues and learned about the vibrant Jewish community that once flourished there before being nearly destroyed during the Holocaust under the brutal Ustaše regime. Today, only a handful of Jews remain, yet their story carries an important lesson for every Jew alive today.Walking those ancient streets, one realization became impossible to ignore. For almost two thousand years our ancestors ended every Passover Seder and Yom Kippur with the words, "Next year in Jerusalem." They dreamed. They prayed. They waited.We don't have to. Jerusalem is rebuilt. Israel exists. Making aliyah no longer requires a miracle, it simply requires making the decision to come home.As Jew-hating antisemitism rises across much of Western Europe and the growing red-green alliance increasingly threatens Jewish communities throughout the Diaspora, this video's message is not one of fear, but of opportunity. We are the first generation in nearly 2,000 years with the privilege of returning home freely, raising our children in a Jewish state, speaking Hebrew, living according to the Jewish calendar, and helping build the future our ancestors could only dream about.Join Avi as he explores Dubrovnik's beauty, uncovers its forgotten Jewish history, and explains why its greatest lesson ultimately points every Jew toward Jerusalem.Join Our Whatsapp Channel: https://chat.whatsapp.com/GkavRznXy731nxxRyptCMv

Israeli media has revealed a secret that was kept quiet for months: one Arab Muslim country advised another to sign an agreement with Israel only to “put it to sleep,” rearm, and prepare for the next war. Israeli journalist Tzvi Yehezkeli, who specializes in Islam and the Middle East, asks the only honest question: Is anyone actually surprised?He reminds us of a foundational Islamic precedent every Jew and Israeli must know, the Treaty of Hudaybiyyah.In 628 CE, while still weak, Muhammad signed a ten-year truce with the stronger Jewish Quraysh tribe at Hudaybiyyah. The terms looked humiliating. The pause allowed Mohammad to grow stronger. Two years later he broke the truce, marched on Mecca, and conquered it.That pattern never ended.Yehezkeli heard Yasser Arafat himself invoke Hudaybiyyah after the Oslo Accords, also recorded in a talk to a Muslim audience in South Africa that the agreement was not about peace but about buying time, land, and weapons. While Israelis sang songs of peace, Arafat brought armed men into Judea and Samaria. The Second Intifada followed.Would October 7 have been possible without Oslo? Without the Gaza withdrawal and the expulsion of nearly 10,000 Jews? Yehezkeli’s answer is clear: no. Every ceasefire with Hamas followed the same rearmament logic. Yahya Sinwar and Arafat used the identical playbook.Even today’s agreements with Arab states require open eyes, Egypt’s military buildup, Jordan’s instability, Turkey’s ambitions. For jihadi ideology, “peace” is a temporary pause on the road to the final goal: the destruction of the Jewish state and the subjugation of non-Muslims according to Muhammad’s path. No deal can be trusted. Israel always must be strong and prepared for the day any one of the Muslim states decides to break the truce, following Mohammad's ways.Western-minded Israelis keep hearing what they want to hear: quiet, routine, hummus in Ramallah. Our enemies hear something else entirely.It is time to stop thinking like Westerners and start thinking like Jews indigenous to the Middle East. The wake-up process is painful after 2,000 years of exile, but it is also the beginning of true redemption.Strengthen your faith. Share these truths.

I recently walked through two beautiful European cities with deep Jewish history. The synagogues still stand. The stories are remembered. But the Jewish communities themselves have largely disappeared. Hardly any Jews remain.In one of those cities, a local Jew was upset to see me wearing my kippah in public. “Why stand out?” he asked. He wasn’t afraid for me — he was afraid for himself and the consequences he would face. Christians walk freely with their symbols. Muslims do the same. For Jews, hiding identity is treated as normal. That should never be accepted as normal.A Jewish restaurant in Montreal was just burned down. The arsonist was caught on camera. Authorities are investigating it as a hate crime. Across North America, Europe, and Australia, antisemitic attacks keep rising. Jewish schools need heavy security. Synagogues look like fortresses. Many Jews now hide Jewish symbols in public. Just a few years ago this was unnecessary. Today the warning signs are unmistakable. Jewish history is repeating itself.Yet at this exact moment, so much of the Jewish conversation is consumed by the latest blood libel: so-called “settler violence.” Analysis of the UN’s own OCHA database shows that the vast majority of listed incidents do not involve Jewish settlers attacking anyone. The data includes jihadi attacks on Israelis, security-force incidents, property disputes, and more. After filtering, only a small fraction remains — and even that is heavily manipulated. The narrative redirects attention away from the real threat: a 1,400-year-old jihadi ideology that massacred Jews on October 7 and continues to target Jews worldwide.While Jews are attacked in Montreal, New York, London, Paris, and Sydney simply for being Jews, the focus stays on blaming Jews in Judea and Samaria. The greatest response to rising antisemitism is not more security systems. It is aliyah. It is returning home to Israel — the only place where Jewish identity is the air we breathe and the national calendar we live by.For 2,000 years Jews ended the Seder with “Next year in Jerusalem.” That prayer is no longer a dream. It is an airline ticket. History is speaking again. The question is whether we are ready to listen.Am Yisrael Chai.Join Our Whatsapp Channel: https://chat.whatsapp.com/GkavRznXy731nxxRyptCMv

On October 7, Hamas terrorists invaded Kibbutz Be’eri. Avida Bechar held the safe-room door shut as jihadis tried to break in and murder his family. He stopped them from entering, but could not stop the bullets that killed his wife Dana and teenage son Carmel, who bled out in front of him. Avida was shot and lost his leg. He and his daughter survived. Few Israelis have paid a heavier price.When Avida speaks, every Jew and every Israeli should listen.After the recent murder of two Jews near the Arab village of Tel in Judea and Samaria, Avida asked the question Israel still has not answered nearly three years after October 7: “The question isn’t who is to blame, but what have we learned from this attack?”For decades Israel measured success by tactical wins — terrorists killed, rockets intercepted, temporary quiet. October 7 exposed that approach as bankrupt. Avida says the only language jihadis understand is permanent loss of land. After October 7 the jihadis in Gaza should lose Gaza. After the Tel attack, the village that produced the killers should no longer exist.“We never even defined what victory is. We never defined who the enemy is,” Avida said. “We have an incredible generation of fighters. Just define clear missions for them and let them win.”Terrorists are not the full enemy. Hamas is not the full enemy. The enemy is a 1,400-year-old jihadi ideology that has been massacring Jews since long before 1948 in 1929, 1936, and in Khaybar in 628 CE. That is why protesters across the West still chant “Khaybar, Khaybar ya Yahud.”Avida’s most painful words: “My biggest problem is that my son, my wife, and thousands of others will have died for nothing.”That fear must drive us. Israel cannot keep fighting the same enemy from the same territory under the same rules. Victory means the enemy permanently loses the ability to attack again.Listen to the survivors. Define the enemy. Define victory. Stop the denial.Israel must be the model for the freedom-loving world in putting a stop to the evil jihadi Islam in our midst.Am Yisrael Chai.Join Our Whatsapp Channel: https://chat.whatsapp.com/GkavRznXy731nxxRyptCMv

Michigan primary results reveal a deeper truth many refuse to face. Abdul El-Sayed’s victory is not just a progressive win or a milestone for Muslim representation. It is another data point showing the steady rise of political influence tied to a 1,400-year-old jihadi ideology inside America. Regardless if El-Sayed wins the general election or not against the Republican, this is a dangerous precedent that will repeat itself more and more.For decades, leaders of major American Muslim organizations have openly stated their goals. CAIR co-founder Omar Ahmad said Islam is not in America to be equal but to become dominant. Nihad Awad spoke of building an “army” of professionals to deliver dozens of members of Congress. ISNA figures have talked about establishing Allah’s rules in all lands and changing the American Constitution. The 1991 Muslim Brotherhood Explanatory Memorandum, entered into evidence in the Holy Land Foundation trial, called this work a “Civilization-Jihadist Process” aimed at destroying Western civilization from within.These are not fringe statements. They come from the institutional networks that shape American Muslim political life. The same ideology produces chants of “Khaybar Khaybar ya Yahud" celebrating the Muslim massacre of Jews back in 628 EC, celebrations of October 7, and the refusal to clearly condemn jihadi violence.El-Sayed’s primary win, like the rise of figures such as Mamdani in New York, is a symptom. The larger reality is a supremacist jihadi political-religious ideology embedding itself in American elections, media, academia, and institutions. America still has no serious legal tools to address citizenship for those who openly advocate replacing the Constitution with Sharia or supporting the subordination of non-believers.Citizenship must not be an irreversible entitlement for those working to overthrow the constitutional order. Deportation of those advancing jihadi ideology is a national security necessity, not bigotry. The Michigan primary is a warning. Americans must wake up before the window closes. In Israel we face the same enemy with clearer eyes. America still has time, but only if it stops denying the threat.Am Yisrael Chai!Join Our Whatsapp Channel: https://chat.whatsapp.com/GkavRznXy731nxxRyptCMv

On a trip to Panama a few months ago, Avi Abelow was blessed to sit down with Rabbi Laine of Panama City, Panama, for a fascinating and extremely practical conversation about his book, “GPS for a Happier Marriage.”Marriage is one of the greatest blessings in life, but even the strongest marriages can go off track every once in a while. Daily pressures, work, children, responsibilities, communication challenges and simple misunderstandings can slowly create distance between a husband and wife, even when both deeply love each other and are committed to making their marriage work.That is what makes Rabbi Lane’s approach so valuable.In this interview with Avi Abelow, Rabbi Laine breaks down some of the fundamental differences between men and women and explains how understanding those differences can completely change the way spouses communicate with and understand one another.Sometimes what one spouse intends as love, concern or help is interpreted completely differently by the other. Instead of assuming bad intentions, understanding how men and women often think, communicate and process emotions differently can help couples stop unnecessary arguments before they begin.Think of it as a GPS for marriage. Sometimes you make a wrong turn. That doesn't mean the journey is over or the marriage is broken. You simply need to recognize where you are, recalculate and get back on the right road, together.This conversation is filled with practical relationship and marriage advice that I believe can benefit newlyweds, couples who have been married for decades, and everyone in between.A strong marriage requires work, understanding, patience, communication, and a willingness to continue learning about your spouse.I highly recommend watching this interview, sharing it with other couples, and purchasing Rabbi Lane’s book, “GPS for a Happier Marriage.” The book can be purchased here: https://www.amazon.com/GPS-Happier-Ma...There is always more we can learn about becoming better husbands, better wives, and building stronger, happier marriages.Join Our Whatsapp Channel: https://chat.whatsapp.com/GkavRznXy731nxxRyptCMv

Another President Trump announcement about his ambitious plan for Gaza, and worrisome updates from the new Gaza peace council.In this Pulse of Israel video, Avi Abelow explains why he believes the latest proposal to disarm Hamas, establish a new Palestinian government in Gaza, deploy an international stabilization force, and eventually withdraw the IDF is built on a flawed assumption: that jihadist movements can be persuaded to abandon their ideology through diplomacy.Avi compares the proposal to previous diplomatic efforts involving Iran and argues that both rest on the belief that ideological regimes committed to Israel and the West's destruction can be negotiated into changing course. He discusses why, in his view, the conflict is driven by a deeper religious and ideological struggle rather than by borders or economics.The video also examines the historical record of international peacekeeping efforts, including the experience with UNIFIL in southern Lebanon, and asks whether outside forces have succeeded in preventing heavily armed groups from rebuilding.At the same time, Avi explains why he believes Prime Minister Netanyahu may publicly cooperate with aspects of the plan while privately recognizing its limitations. Preserving Israel's strategic relationship with President Trump and the United States remains a vital national interest, particularly after the successful return of the hostages.Ultimately, Avi argues that lasting peace cannot be built on wishful thinking. It must begin with a realistic understanding of the ideology Israel faces and a strategy that produces genuine deterrence and long-term security.Whether you agree or disagree, this is a conversation that deserves serious discussion.If you appreciate independent pro-Israel analysis that challenges conventional narratives, please Like, Subscribe, and Share this video.Join Our Whatsapp Channel: https://chat.whatsapp.com/GkavRznXy731nxxRyptCMv

What are Jewish teens really being taught about Israel today? More importantly, what are they not being taught?I recently had the privilege of speaking to an incredible group of Ramah teens touring Israel, and I challenged them to experience this country in a way few Jewish educational organizations encourage.Israel is not just another destination to visit. It is the birthplace of the Jewish people, the setting of the Bible, and the foundation of Jewish identity. Every Jewish holiday, every biblical story, every prayer comes alive when you understand that it all happened here, in our God-given, indigenous, ancestral homeland.We also discussed a reality many young Jews rarely hear about: the ongoing security challenges Israel faces, the ideology driving jihadist terrorism, and how media narratives often distort the daily reality on the ground. From misleading headlines to selective reporting, too many people leave Israel with an incomplete picture of the challenges, and miracles, that define life here today.My message was simple: don't spend your trip seeing Israel as just another beautiful place. Walk this land knowing it is your land. Connect every mountain, valley, and ancient stone to your own Jewish story. When you strengthen your connection to the Land of Israel, you strengthen your Jewish identity.The response from these teenagers was inspiring. Their thoughtful questions, openness, and enthusiasm reminded me just how hungry the next generation is for honest conversations, meaningful Jewish education, and a deeper connection to Israel.This is the conversation more Jewish youth deserve to hear. This is why we want the Pulse of Israel to reach every Jewish teenager we can.If this message resonates with you, please Like, Subscribe, and Share. Together we can strengthen Jewish identity, inspire the next generation, and ensure that more young Jews experience Israel not simply as tourists, but as returning home.Join Our Whatsapp Channel: https://chat.whatsapp.com/GkavRznXy731nxxRyptCMv

Stop Letting the Media Tell You Who the Hilltop Youth Are

For years, the media has portrayed Israel's hilltop youth, settlers and pioneering families as extremists, while ignoring the daily reality they face.After speaking to nearly 300 American Jewish teenagers touring Israel, I was struck by one recurring question: "What about settler violence?" Almost no one asked about the constant jihadist terror, attempted infiltrations, arson attacks, rock-throwing, shootings, agricultural theft, or the indoctrination that fuels violence against Jewish communities. That disconnect reveals just how powerful today's media narrative has become.In this video, Avi Abelow explain why so many young Jews arrive in Israel already viewing fellow Jews as the problem and why that narrative collapses once you understand the security reality in Judea and Samaria.Avi Abelow discusses the remarkable decision by District Court Judge Ron Solkin, who challenged the simplistic portrayal of the hilltop communities. In his ruling, he described the daily threats faced by these families and wrote that people living under such conditions cannot be judged "under laboratory conditions, beneath an air conditioner and fluorescent lights." His words highlight the importance of understanding context before rushing to judgment.This isn't about claiming every action by every individual is justified. It's about recognizing that truth requires context, and that context is too often missing from media coverage about the Jews who live in Judea and Samaria.The young men and women building communities on Israel's strategic hilltops are continuing the Zionist pioneering tradition that has protected Israel's borders for generations. Whether you agree with every policy or not, understanding their reality is essential before forming an opinion.Watch, share, and decide for yourself whether you've been shown the full picture.Join Our Whatsapp Channel: https://chat.whatsapp.com/GkavRznXy731nxxRyptCMv

Twenty-one years after Israel dismantled 21 thriving Jewish communities in Gaza and expelled nearly 10,000 Jews from their homes, the conversation has come full circle. What was presented in 2005 as a path to peace instead paved the way for our jihadi enemies to turn Gaza into a terror launching pad, with years of rocket fire, and ultimately the horrors of the October 7 massacre.This week, fifteen thousand Israelis marched toward Gaza with a clear message: the time has come to rebuild Jewish communities in Gaza, beginning with northern Gaza. The march reflected a growing belief among many Israelis that lasting security requires more than military victories.In this video, I explain why I believe true victory over Hamas and jihadist terror requires more than eliminating terrorists and destroying tunnels. Military achievements alone cannot prevent future attacks if hostile forces can eventually return and rebuild. History in both Gaza and southern Lebanon has shown what can happen when security vacuums are created.I also share my personal memories from the 2005 disengagement protests, including Kfar Maimon and the marches toward Gaza, and how this new movement is fundamentally different. Instead of trying to prevent destruction, we are now marching with the mission to rebuild.I discuss why civilian communities, together with the IDF and full Israeli sovereignty, are the only long-term strategy to prevent another October 7. I also examine recent statements by Israeli ministers regarding the possibility of rebuilding communities in northern Gaza and why many believe this would represent a decisive turning point.If you care about Israel's future, Zionism, Jewish history, Middle East security, and the lessons of October 7, watch this video and join the conversation.
