Peace isn’t merely the absence of conflict. It is something we must create from within. It is about the active, soul-level work of humility, generosity of spirit, and emotional abundance.

In this talk, we explore a profound framework for achieving inner and outer peace drawing from this week’s parsha, and key teachings from Pirkei Avot, as we uncover how peace is not natural, but spiritual. It isn’t about passive tolerance.

Whether you're navigating conflict, craving clarity, or striving to live with deeper purpose, this message offers a Torah-based path toward emotional and spiritual alignment.

I sat down with South Africa’s most respected political analyst, Dr Frans Cronje, to talk about where this country is going.

Here is the recording of our conversation. We discuss all the big issues of the day: the GNU’s survival, the decline of the ANC, Trump’s approach to SA, the expropriation act, employment equity, NHI, electricity, SA’s foreign policy with Israel, Iran and China, economic growth and unemployment rates, and much more.

Dr Cronje’s ground-breaking data and insights shift the way to think about South Africa, and offer a rational framework for understanding and for how to respond proactively to the trends shaping the country’s future.

On Yom HaZikaron, Chief Rabbi Dr. Warren Goldstein delivered a powerful address at the South African Zionist Federation ceremony in Johannesburg, paying tribute to Israel’s fallen soldiers, victims of terror, and the extraordinary courage of the Israeli people.

With heartfelt words, he reminds us: “Hazak ve’ematz” — be strong and courageous. These ancient words are the foundation of Jewish survival, strength, and dignity. We mourn. We stand in awe. And we recommit ourselves to the cause of unity, justice, and unwavering support for the Jewish people and the State of Israel.

Listen. Remember. Stand together.
