Making Deals


When Hanna prayed for a child, she was just not asking she was negotiating. She was not ready to just ask for a son, she was ready to return the gift of a child with the promise of  service in the temple.
In other words Hanna prayed that she could have a son , so that she could be the mother of a child that served G-d and his people .

I to joined Hanna in her prayers. I was 28 I was single and I was  ambivalent  about getting married and having children.. But Hanna's prayer sealed the deal for me.  From that moment on I pictured myself not just as a mother of a son, but raising children to serve.


I am asked many times how I could have " just put Zevy on a Plane " to begin the road to service in the IDF. How do I explain that I had made a deal , G-d had kept his promise and in every way reminded me that it was time to keep mine.

Zevy was not just put on a plane as many think. He went with faith. Faith in me, faith in G-d and
faith in himself. Deals keep honest people honest , they can at best set up a life path that is filled
with joy and above all service.

My Prayer For The Children Of Abraham In The IDF Tonight

Dear G-d
Make your children
swift like eagles, take the fear out of their bodies.. Make them brave and know with G-d there no no evil that can touch them.
Give them light connect to each other and to their fathers, remind them that the greatest forces in the world have come and gone but the children
of Abraham are here. That they are fighting for what is good and right and the all sane people are behind them.. surround them in light and strength.. no fear no
doubt they should be proud to represent light on earth.. it is their job and the world is watching with awe as they shine in protecting the land and the Jewish people.
There is only echod , there is one we are with them, the world is rooting for them and civilization is depending on them.

Give clear hearts and and stead fast vision to the leaders that they never loose sight of what is at stake and they to must understand that history will
judge them G-d has given them this moment no to apologize for being a Jew but stand up and roar with the light of what is right in their faces and hearts.
Let all who encounter the Jewish Leadership see the representatives of G-d on earth and be humbled to stand in this holy place with his people.
G-d blesses those who bless Israel..

To my friends please really try and 
understand that we are living with terror.
And it's not anything any country
in the world would tolerate .
Words like “escalation” assume that there
Is a moral equivalency on both
sides, and there is not.
Israel aims to protect its civilians, whereas Hamas,
a wholly-owned subsidiary of Iran,
uses kids as human shields .
Obama’s statements about this being about
Israel's occupation of Gaza are inaccurate 
and misleading .
Israel left Gaza in state-
ready condition over ten years ago. There
are simply no Jews in Gaza, let alone
an occupation . Hamas ,which is
now part of the Fatah government ,has 
called for the destruction of Israel in its charter. Since 2005 , when we pulled out
of Gaza, thousands of rockets have been
launched from Gaza into Israel.
So if you believe in Jewish sovereignty,
and the only country in the mid east 
with full rights for women, the
most educated Arab population in the mid east and a thriving democracy,
then I would ask you as friends to 
know that this is a critical moment for survival.
The IDF is doing all in its power to
minimize civilian casualty by calling and dropping leaflets . Hamas 
gathers kids to be used as human shields .
This is a culture of death.
You will hear the WH calling for restraint
as the bodies used as human shields
add up in Gaza . Personally this is tragic. 
And it can be stopped. The WH needs to
pressure Hamas to stop the rockets,
not pressure Israel to stop defending 
this assault against herself
Believe me, nothing is more important to
a Jew than a human life. 
It is a moment in time 
when the nature of evil must be seen for what it is: unsustainable, unacceptable and G-d help us if Israel
Is not we are not successful .
Jihad is not a mid east problem. It's 
a global one .
Please know it's so important to me that
you understand.
