A Moral Rot at Rice University

Moshe Vardi  12/6/23 December 1, 2023, was my 30th anniversary at Rice University. I was not always a “happy camper” at Rice. At times, I had significant disagreements with Rice’s leadership; for example, I did not hesitate to criticize Rice’s response to the COVID pandemic. Yet I have always been proud of being a faculty member at

Global Day of Action on Sukkot: Reconciliation, Not Hate!

On Sunday, October 4, people of many diverse backgrounds gathered at King’s Harbor, the Kingwood, Texas location for the Holocaust Garden of Hope, to celebrate Reconciliation Not Hate. We took a stand for Israel and Jewish Life by observing the biblical holiday of Sukkoth, or Feast of Tabernacles. Sukkot (plural of Sukkah, or Tabernacles) were built and decorated (see accompanying pictures), and in the tradition of the holiday we found ways to “dwell” in those booths. One became the stage where music was performed and messages were proclaimed, another covered the registration table and two more were the locations where children and adults participated in the Upstander Stones Project.
The March of Remembrance/March of Life Global Day of Action: “Reconciliation, Not Hate” was conceived by the March of Life organization in Germany and people in 70 cities worldwide gathered as we did throughout the day. March of Life founder Jobst Bittner spoke from the event in Germany.

Healing Blessings for the New Year

We are the good ground who, having heard the word with a noble and good heart, keep it and bear fruit with patience. We may be in the world but we’re not of it, we do not walk according to the flesh, but according to the Spirit. We will speak to our symptoms saying, “you are the lie, the word of God is the truth!” Let us pray for each other and encourage each other in this way until it penetrates deeper and we become more and more aware of His Presence and His Power within us and one day we wake up and the symptoms are gone!

Look what the Lord has done!

He has brought us safely through a year rife with danger, fear, hostility and doubt. Yes, 2020 has been a tumultuous year. However, nothing that happened in 2020 was a surprise to our Sovereign God. We are filled with joy because our God has bared His mighty right arm and is fighting for us; He will never leave us nor forsake us. We have walked through the valley of the shadow of death and come out safely on the other side. Let us enter His gates with thanksgiving and His courts with praise in 2021!

Christian Friends of Israel Rally to Help Jewish State Fight Coronavirus

The number of individuals in Israel diagnosed with the COVID-19 coronavirus rises daily, and pro-Israel Christian organizations have joined the struggle to help contend with the pandemic in the Jewish state.
The International Fellowship of Christians and Jews (IFCJ) has decided to lend a hand in Israel’s fight against the pandemic and approved over the weekend $2 million in special grants to 15 hospitals for respiratory equipment and other lifesaving machinery.
Additionally, The IFCJ purchased 20 special testing devices for Magen David Adom (MDA), Israel’s emergency medical response organization. The devices will help the staff test patients and reduce the burden on hospitals, preventing unnecessary contact between Coronavirus patients and their surroundings.

April 3 (UPI) — A provincial government in Pakistan on Friday prevented the release of four men suspected in the 2002 death of Wall Street Journal reporter Daniel Pearl, a day after a court cleared them.
The Sindh government used the Maintenance of Public Order law to keep Omar Saeed Sheikh and three others behind bars for another 90 days while prosecutors appeal the court ruling.
Sheikh, a British native, has spent 18 years on death row after he was convicted of Pearl’s disappearance and death. Fahad Naseem, Syed Salman Saqib and Sheikh Mohammad Adil were also jailed in in the case.
The Sindh high court on Thursday commuted Sheikh’s sentence to seven years for just Pearl’s kidnapping and acquitted the other three. The ruling brought condemnation from the U.S. State Department.
