When I made aliya from Moscow in 1992, I didn't realize I was part of the greatest return to Zion in the modern age. Back then, I was a 14-year-old boy who, together with his mother, faced the challenge of starting a new life in a new land with a new language. Beginning in Ramat Gan and later in Beersheba, I grew to love Israel as my people's historic birthright, the one place in the world where Jews would always have a home.My mother and I did not always have an easy time. It took ... |

My son was born in Israel. We speak Russian at home, but his native language is Hebrew. And so it should be.

Children, like my son, born to ... |

Minister Landau cannot carry on with business as usual and conduct a politcal meeting ... |

This week, a first-of-its-kind space cooperation deal between Israel and Kazakhstan was signed. According to the agreement, Kazakhstan will purchase satellites and surveillance technology from Israel. Relations between Israel and this Central Asian country have been warming in recent years, in large part because of Avigdor Lieberman’s efforts in recent years to deepen ties with newly independent states from the FSU. Not only are such relations ... |

This week Minister Uzi Landau spoke to at the launch of the Jerusalem Dinner Club (JDC). Café Jo was packed to capacity with people who wanted to hear from and talk to our leaders. We knew that we would have a big crowd, but we at Beytenu still could not help but be inspired by the commitment of the attendees to do all they could as citizens to educate themselves on the issues and to get to know their leaders and have their leaders get to know them in ... |
