The Pulse of Israel

God Is Calling the Jewish People Home! | Avi Abelow with Rabbi Manis Friedman in Crown Heights, BrooklynWhat if we are living through the greatest miracles in Jewish history in over 2,000 years, and too many Jews are missing the significance of what God is doing?I was honored to speak at a special Jewish community event in Crown Heights, Brooklyn, New York, alongside the renowned Rabbi Manis Friedman, one of the most famous YouTube Rabbis, about Israel, Jewish identity, emunah, aliyah, and the extraordinary redemptive times we are living through.For 2,000 years, the Jewish people prayed to return to Jerusalem and rebuild our national life in our ancestral homeland. Today, we have a sovereign Jewish state, a powerful Jewish army, and millions of Jews living in the Land of Israel.Yet how many of us truly appreciate the miracles unfolding before our eyes?My message to American Jewry is simple: God has brought the Jewish people home. Prophecies are being fulfilled. Now He is waiting for us to do our part!During this inspiring gathering, we explored the Jewish people's spiritual mission, the meaning of Geulah, and our responsibility to bring God's morality into the world.Rabbi Manis Friedman emphasized the Jewish mission to help humanity connect with God. I shared my conviction that one of the most powerful ways for us, as individuals and a nation, fulfill that mission is through a strong, God-fearing Jewish nation living in Israel and demonstrating Torah values through national action.Israel is not supposed to be a refuge from Jew-hating antisemitism. It is our indigenous homeland, our national destiny, and an extraordinary opportunity to become a light unto the nations.Watch, be inspired, and share this message with Jewish family and friends worldwide.Am Yisrael Chai!Join Our Whatsapp Channel: https://chat.whatsapp.com/GkavRznXy731nxxRyptCMvFollow us on Twitter: https://x.com/AviAbelowJoin our Telegram Channel: https://t.me/aviabelowpulseFollow us on Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/pulse_of_israel/?hl=enPulse of Israel on Facebook: https://www.facebook.com/IsraelVideoNetworkVisit Our Website - https://pulseofisrael.com/Donate to Pulse of Israel: https://pulseofisrael.com/boost-this-video/

Amazing news: President Donald Trump has announced a historic transformation in the U.S.–Israel relationship.Trump says that he and Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu agreed months ago to end approximately $3.8 billion in annual American military assistance because Israel has become successful and capable enough to purchase its own weapons.The existing agreement technically runs through 2028, Congress controls appropriations and the final replacement framework has not yet been published. But the strategic direction is clear: Israel is moving from dependency toward independence.What Americans call “aid to Israel” primarily finances purchases from American defense companies, supporting American factories and jobs. Israel receives vital weapons, but Washington also receives significant leverage over Israeli security decisions.Those golden handcuffs must end.Israel is now a military, technological and economic power. The old aid model should be replaced by something stronger: joint weapons development, missile defense, intelligence sharing, advanced research, trade and mutually beneficial strategic projects.This issue is personal for me. For nearly two years, I have written and produced videos advocating this transition. Through our Yes! Israel team, alongside Ruth Jaffe Lieberman and Sarah Paley, I accompanied MK Amit Halevi to Washington to present the “Aid to Trade” vision to senators and members of Congress.Gadi Eisenkot portrays Trump’s announcement as evidence that Netanyahu damaged the alliance. He is wrong. This transition has reportedly been discussed by Israeli and American officials for months.Israel is not losing America. Israel and America are modernizing their relationship—from patron and client to two powerful, sovereign allies.The generation of Israeli dependency is ending. The era of strategic independence is beginning.This is what renewed Jewish sovereignty looks like.Strengthen your faith. Great times are ahead.Am Yisrael Chai!Join Our Whatsapp Channel: https://chat.whatsapp.com/GkavRznXy731nxxRyptCMvFollow us on Twitter: https://x.com/AviAbelowJoin our Telegram Channel: https://t.me/aviabelowpulseFollow us on Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/pulse_of_israel/?hl=enPulse of Israel on Facebook: https://www.facebook.com/IsraelVideoNetworkVisit Our Website - https://pulseofisrael.com/Donate to Pulse of Israel: https://pulseofisrael.com/boost-this-video/

America’s midterm elections changed the political landscape and the consequences for America and Israel will be significant.With Democrats gaining power in Congress and anti-Israel progressive forces growing inside the Democratic Party, many Americans and Israelis are understandably concerned. The red-green alliance between the radical progressive Left and jihadi political movements is becoming increasingly influential across America and the Western world.But Israel must not despair.These election results come at the exact time needed to accelerate a transformation Israel should have pursued long ago: replacing dependence on American military aid with genuine strategic independence.President Donald Trump recently announced that he and Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu agreed to end approximately $4 billion in annual U.S. assistance to Israel. This is not the collapse of the U.S.–Israel relationship. It is an opportunity to build a healthier partnership based on trade, joint defense projects, technological innovation and mutual strategic interests.Two years ago, I traveled to Washington with MK Amit Halevi to promote this exact transition, from aid to partnership. As one congressman told me, America needs Israel to become more independent because a strong Israel is essential to American security.Israel is no longer the poor, vulnerable country of previous generations. It is a military, economic and technological power capable of producing weapons, developing revolutionary defense systems and protecting the freedom-loving world.Ending the “golden handcuffs” of foreign aid can strengthen Israel’s defense industries, expand its freedom of action and ensure that no foreign government possesses a financial veto over Israel’s survival.After more than 2,000 years of exile, the Jewish people did not return to our God-given, indigenous ancestral homeland to become another nation’s dependent client state.We returned to restore Jewish sovereignty.America’s elections may bring serious challenges—but they may also push Israel to become stronger, more independent and more deeply connected to its national mission.Israel will not weaken. Israel will rise stronger.Strengthen your faith. Our greatest days are still ahead.Am Yisrael Chai!Join Our Whatsapp Channel: https://chat.whatsapp.com/GkavRznXy731nxxRyptCMvFollow us on Twitter: https://x.com/AviAbelowJoin our Telegram Channel: https://t.me/aviabelowpulseFollow us on Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/pulse_of_israel/?hl=enPulse of Israel on Facebook: https://www.facebook.com/IsraelVideoNetworkVisit Our Website - https://pulseofisrael.com/Donate to Pulse of Israel: https://pulseofisrael.com/boost-this-video/

What does Shabbat have to do with the redemption of the Jewish people and the future of humanity?In this inspiring interview, I sit down with my friend and fellow “Geulah Jew,” Jeremy Gimpel, to discuss his new book about sharing the universal lessons of Shabbat with the nations.Jeremy is not calling upon non-Jews to observe Shabbat according to Jewish law. His message is that the world desperately needs the wisdom God entrusted to the Jewish people through the Torah: setting aside Saturday as a genuine day of rest, reconnecting with family, stepping away from technology and material distractions, and creating space to connect with God.Could the nations learning from the Torah be one of the clearest signs that the Jewish people are finally fulfilling our destiny as a “light unto the nations”?Jeremy is not merely speaking about redemption, he is living it. As co-founder of the Arugot Farm in the Judean hills, he is helping restore Jewish life to our God-given, indigenous ancestral homeland. As co-founder of the Land of Israel Network, he has spent years sharing the spiritual significance of Israel with people worldwide.Together, we explore the return of the Jewish people to Israel, the spiritual awakening unfolding throughout our nation and the extraordinary possibility that ancient biblical prophecies are materializing before our eyes.These are not ordinary times. After more than 2,000 years of exile, Jews are rebuilding our homeland, cultivating its hills and spreading the Torah’s light from Jerusalem and Judea to humanity.The redemption is not something we should merely wait for. We must recognize it, participate in it and help move it forward.Watch this powerful conversation about Shabbat, Torah, Israel, faith, family and humanity’s spiritual future.Strengthen your faith. Embrace your role. Redemption is unfolding.Am Yisrael Chai!Join Our Whatsapp Channel: https://chat.whatsapp.com/GkavRznXy731nxxRyptCMvFollow us on Twitter: https://x.com/AviAbelowJoin our Telegram Channel: https://t.me/aviabelowpulseFollow us on Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/pulse_of_israel/?hl=enPulse of Israel on Facebook: https://www.facebook.com/IsraelVideoNetworkVisit Our Website - https://pulseofisrael.com/Donate to Pulse of Israel: https://pulseofisrael.com/boost-this-video/

Israel’s election is over, and the political mask is already coming off.For two years, Israelis were told that the ultra-Orthodox military draft was the defining moral issue facing the country. It overshadowed Iran, Hamas, Hezbollah, Syria, judicial reform, Jewish sovereignty and the question of whether Israel would return to the failed security policies of October 6.Right-wing voters were urged to punish Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu’s government over the Haredi draft crisis—even if doing so empowered Gadi Eisenkot and political parties supporting military withdrawals, international guarantees and renewed economic concessions to Gaza.Now, prominent opposition politicians and media commentators are openly discussing compromises on the very principle they presented as non-negotiable.Despite saying that he would rather go to new elections than compromise on the issue, Gadi Eizenkot is now open to negotiating with the Ultra-Orthodox parties to compromise on the issue!So was equal military service truly their overriding moral concern, or was the Haredi draft weaponized to divide Israel’s nationalist camp and remove Netanyahu?The ultra-Orthodox draft issue is real and must be addressed responsibly. Israel needs broader participation in national defense, especially after years of war and exhausting reserve duty. The IDF must also establish frameworks enabling religious soldiers to serve without abandoning their way of life.But genuine reform requires patience, responsibility and societal change—not hatred, collective punishment or cynical political manipulation.In this video, Avi Abelow examines the campaign that transformed the Haredi draft into Israel’s dominant election issue, the political hypocrisy emerging after the vote and the larger security questions voters were encouraged to ignore.Israel must learn from what happened and never again allow one domestic controversy to eclipse the country’s survival, Jewish identity and national future.Join Our Whatsapp Channel: https://chat.whatsapp.com/GkavRznXy731nxxRyptCMvFollow us on Twitter: https://x.com/AviAbelowJoin our Telegram Channel: https://t.me/aviabelowpulseFollow us on Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/pulse_of_israel/?hl=enPulse of Israel on Facebook: https://www.facebook.com/IsraelVideoNetworkVisit Our Website - https://pulseofisrael.com/Donate to Pulse of Israel: https://pulseofisrael.com/boost-this-video/

The following post of mine from yesterday has received to close to one million views between Facebook and X. Even though I created it before the the voting began, the message is still relevant today…What if the biggest story of the Michigan Senate election isn't who wins, but what the election reveals about America's future?Abdul El-Sayed, a Muslim progressive endorsed by CAIR Action, has already achieved a major political milestone by becoming the Democratic nominee for the United States Senate.But to understand why this matters, Americans need to examine a chilling document written 35 years ago.In 1991, Muslim Brotherhood figure Mohamed Akram outlined a strategy describing a “Civilization-Jihadist Process” aimed at undermining Western civilization from within. The document, later introduced as evidence in the Holy Land Foundation terrorism-financing trial, discussed building organizations, institutions, and influence throughout American society.Today, CAIR celebrates growing Muslim political representation across Congress, state legislatures, city councils, school boards, and the judiciary.Does this prove every Muslim politician supports the Muslim Brotherhood? Absolutely not. But it raises urgent questions about jihadi ideology, political influence, and whether Western democracies are adequately confronting organizations that support jihad.In this explosive Pulse of Israel commentary, Avi Abelow examines the Muslim Brotherhood's historical strategy, CAIR's political activism, the red-green alliance between radical progressives and Islamist movements, and the lessons America must learn from Israel.Israel has already paid a devastating price for underestimating jihadist threats. America cannot afford to repeat those mistakes.The answer is not discrimination against Muslims. It is defending democratic institutions, confronting terrorist organizations, enforcing laws against material support for terrorism, and protecting national identity.This is more than another American election.It's a battle over the future of America and Western civilization.Will America wake up before it's too late?Watch. Share.

While Israelis remain focused on the dramatic aftermath of the Israeli elections, another potentially significant security story unfolded at sea, and almost nobody is talking about it.A container ship operating in the service of Israeli shipping company ZIM, traveling from Haifa toward Romania, was reportedly struck by maritime drones in the Black Sea off Bulgaria. The vessel was severely damaged and sank. Thank God, all 18 crew members were reportedly rescued safely.Who was behind the attack? Was the ship deliberately targeted because of its connection to Israel? Those questions require investigation.But the larger warning should not be ignored.The Israeli election may be over, but Israel's enemies and the rapidly changing threats around us have not disappeared.For three years, Israel has been fighting an unprecedented multi-front war involving Gaza, Lebanon, Syria, Iran, Yemen and other arenas. Now maritime security and international shipping routes are increasingly becoming part of the battlefield.At the same time, Israelis are consumed by coalition negotiations, political divisions and the future composition of the government.We cannot allow politics to blind us to the strategic challenges developing around us.October 7th taught us the terrible price of ignoring warning signs.Israel must remain strong, vigilant and prepared, on our borders, inside our country, in the skies and at sea.The election is behind us.The threats are not.And whatever government ultimately emerges, its first responsibility must remain the same: protecting the Jewish State and the Jewish people.Join Our Whatsapp Channel: https://chat.whatsapp.com/GkavRznXy731nxxRyptCMvFollow us on Twitter: https://x.com/AviAbelowJoin our Telegram Channel: https://t.me/aviabelowpulseFollow us on Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/pulse_of_israel/?hl=enPulse of Israel on Facebook: https://www.facebook.com/IsraelVideoNetworkVisit Our Website - https://pulseofisrael.com/Donate to Pulse of Israel: https://pulseofisrael.com/boost-this-video/

For years, Israelis have heard endless accusations about Qatargate and alleged Qatari connections surrounding Netanyahu. But now, following Israel's latest elections, an entirely different Qatar controversy is emerging.Did foreign money originating in Qatar attempt to influence Israel's elections?Israel's Central Elections Committee chairman, Supreme Court Justice Noam Sohlberg, has instructed Shin Bet chief David Zini to investigate serious suspicions of improper foreign influence and possible election bribery. Israeli media have reported that Qatar may be involved, including allegations of funding intended to influence voter mobilization in Arab communities.The investigation is ongoing.But the political irony is extraordinary!After years of political battles over Qatargate, Israel may now be confronting allegations of foreign interference in its own democratic process.What happens if investigators uncover illegal foreign financing? Could the findings have political or legal consequences? Could Israel be forced to reconsider how it protects its democratic institutions?And beyond the immediate political controversy, there is a much bigger question: How does a Jewish democracy protect itself against those who would exploit its freedoms while undermining its existence?In this video, I examine the emerging allegations, the political implications, the questions Israelis must confront, and why I believe we should look at these developments through a deeper spiritual perspective.I cannot predict what the investigation will uncover. But I believe Israel must face the truth, defend its democracy, strengthen its national identity and never lose faith in God.Sometimes what looks like a political crisis can become a national wake-up call.God has a sense of humor.

While Israelis focus on coalition negotiations following the election, we cannot lose sight of the growing danger across our northern border.Jihadist forces in Syria have released a propaganda video depicting a future invasion of Israel’s Golan Heights. Alongside anti-Israel demonstrations, weapons training and increasingly threatening rhetoric in southern Syria, the message demands serious attention.We have seen this pattern before.Before October 7, Israel’s security establishment repeatedly assured the public that Hamas could be contained, deterred and managed. Israel relied upon defensive barriers, economic incentives and international understandings.October 7 exposed the catastrophic cost of that failed October 6 conception.Israel must not repeat the same mistake in Syria.The IDF cannot withdraw from strategically essential territory and once again place Israeli families behind international promises and guarantees. Israel must retain the freedom and territorial depth necessary to prevent jihadist forces from assembling another October 7-style invasion force near our communities.This must also shape Israel’s next government.Gadi Eisenkot has advocated eventually withdrawing Israeli forces from Syria and relying upon international guarantees. But after everything Israel has experienced, we can never entrust Jewish lives to promises from outside powers.During the Gaza war, Eisenkot also pressed to end the fighting before Israel conquered Rafah and the Philadelphi Corridor, eliminated Yahya Sinwar and dramatically weakened Hezbollah and Iran’s nuclear infrastructure.Israel still has a war to win.The next government must be broad enough to govern but united around one essential objective: defeating Israel’s enemies, protecting Jewish lives and finishing the war rather than stopping halfway.Our enemies continue telling us exactly what they intend to do. This time, Israel must believe them, and ensure they never receive the opportunity.God is pushing the Jewish people to abandon dangerous illusions, reclaim responsibility for our security and strengthen our presence throughout our ancestral homeland.Watch what is happening in Syria.

The final Israeli election results are still being counted, but one conclusion is already becoming clear: after years of investigations, relentless negative media coverage and accusations surrounding October 7, the political Left still failed to defeat Benjamin Netanyahu among Jewish Israeli voters.This was arguably the most favorable election environment Israel’s Left could have imagined.The campaign transformed the painful issue of the ultra-Orthodox draft into a political weapon intended to divide Israel’s nationalist camp. Frustrated right-wing voters were encouraged to abandon Likud and Israel’s other right-wing parties, or remain home entirely.Yet despite everything invested in removing Netanyahu, the Israeli Left still lacks a clear path to power without relying upon anti-Zionist Arab parties.Now comes an extraordinary contradiction.The election is barely over, yet voices on the Left are reportedly discussing whether to compromise on their previously nonnegotiable demands regarding Haredi military service to attract the ultra-Orthodox parties.If the draft was truly the defining moral issue of this election, how did it become negotiable immediately afterward?Meanwhile, Gadi Eisenkot delivered what sounded like a victory speech, while Yair Golan promoted forming a government with Arab political parties. Instead of asking why so many Jewish Israelis continue rejecting their worldview, the Left appears to be searching for a mathematical path around the Jewish electorate.Blind opposition to Netanyahu is not a governing vision. Neither is weaponizing genuine social problems or dividing the Jewish people for electoral gain.Netanyahu will eventually leave politics. But Israel’s Jewish population remains overwhelmingly Zionist, increasingly connected to Jewish identity and committed to maintaining Israel as a strong Jewish state.Any movement seeking to govern Israel must first understand the people who live here.The count is not finished, and Israel may not receive an ideal government. But don’t lose sight of the larger story.Strengthen your faith.
