Every day, people react to the headlines – “ceasefire with Iran,” “negotiations with Lebanon” – and ask me if they should worry, if Israel will truly end this war without fully defeating and removing the jihadi enemies threatening our future.

In the middle of the war and all the screaming headlines, I went to a brit milah on Friday for my cousin’s newborn son here in Israel. 

Stay with me, because when you strip away the illusion and face reality, you see that while the world talks, the Jewish people are rising, coming home, and reshaping history, and that’s the real story behind the headlines, the one that should inspire all of us.
