This article arms a modern-day Esther with verified facts and moral clarity. It shows how Israel delivers massive humanitarian aid while Hamas steals it, how CENTCOM footage exposes the truth, and why headlines often blame the wrong side. It also widens your field of vision to persecuted Christians in Nigeria, calling you to pray, discern, and act with courage—“take up the whole armor of God” (Ephesians 6:13)—for Israel and the Church.

Elica Le Bon never expected to become an activist. The daughter of Iranian refugees and a former criminal defense lawyer, she saw propaganda twist truth after October 7 and decided silence was no longer an option. “If I don’t say it, who will?” Today she uses her voice to defend Israel, expose tyranny, and remind the world that moral clarity still matters. Read how this unlikely advocate became our Esther of the Week — a modern witness for truth, courage, and faith.

Zohran Mamdani’s election as New York City’s mayor sent shockwaves through Israel and across the Jewish world.

In The Bronx, 92-year-old Holocaust survivor Galina Guterman voted for the first time in her life — not for politics, but for principle. Her choice was shaped by the same conviction that led Andrew Cuomo to speak out this week for the family of murdered hostage Omer Neutra: evil must be named, and courage must not stay silent.

Israel’s ancient stones still cry out today, declaring a timeless truth: Israel belongs to the Jewish people. This truth is not just spiritual but tangible, documented for decades through the meticulous work of the Israel Antiquities Authority (IAA).

Mendel crossed the Marine Corps Marathon in D.C. carrying Israel’s flag and #BringThemHome—turning suffering into perseverance, character, and hope. While the internet mocks with “Mintifada” and some platform open Jew-hatred, we choose the other path: honor grief, protect the vulnerable, and tell the truth.

Ofir Tsarfati was murdered and buried in 2023. Last week, more of his remains were returned to Israel, forcing his family to reopen his grave for a third time. This is a story of grief, dignity, and the call to stand for life.

When American troops showed up in Kiryat Gat to oversee a Gaza ceasefire, they turned a quiet Israeli city into an unexpected crossroads of hope, humor, and hard questions about sovereignty.

In Germany’s city of Weimar, the language the Nazis tried to erase is being sung again. Yiddish — once silenced by hatred — has returned to the public square in joy, music, and prayer. Christian Women For Israel reflects on the faith behind this cultural revival and shares ten Yiddish words every modern-day Esther should know, from chutzpah and kvell to zol zayn mit mazel — “may it be with blessing.”

US Secretary of State Marco Rubio met families of Itay Chen and Omer Neutra and vowed the United States “will not rest” until every body is returned. Friends of Israel are active in Jerusalem, and a fragile calm is holding. It looks like a door is opening. “These are the words of him who is holy and true, who holds the key of David. What he opens no one can shut, and what he shuts no one can open.” — Revelation 3:7, NIV

Yet even as survivors recount their suffering, much of the world’s media remains silent or complicit.
