The moment has come! Tuesday Night Live in Jerusalem is bringing a taste of Jerusalem around American and setting the record straight.
Tuesday Night Live in Jerusalem Across America will not only be a source of support and encouragement to Israel in the times of unprecedented global isolation for the Jewish People, but an affirmation by the American people that America stands with Israel not merely because of the long history of friendship and good will, or due of shared interests and threats, but because of the core principle and values upon which the United States was founded.
By coming out en mass to Tuesday Night Live in Jerusalem Across America, the American people are not only raising the spirits of the Nation of Israel, but declaring with overwhelming conviction that no matter what stance any US administration may take, America’s unwavering bond with Israel does not divide the country, it unites it. By shining a light of gratitude and recognition on the political, spiritual, and grassroots leaders who have shown the character to stand with Israel, Tuesday Night Live in Jerusalem Across America will both motivate and mobilize the American People to be more vocal and bold in their support for the Nation of Israel.

In the wake of unprecedented hatred of Israel and undermining of our legitimacy, on this week’s edition of Tuesday Night Live in Jerusalem, Ari and Jeremy take to the streets of Jerusalem and discuss the Jewish rights to the Land of Israel.
Maj. Gen. Doron Almog speaks on “Tuesday Night Live in Jerusalem” about the battles he took part in as an IDF officer and the battle he led for the benefit of his own son and others. In the second part of the special edition of “TNL,” recorded on Israel’s national Memorial Day, Ari and Jeremy speak with Maj. Gen. Almog, famous for his involvement in the 1976 Operation Entebbe.
He was the first commander to land on the runway in Entebbe, marking it for the Israeli planes that followed. He then led the capture of the airfield’s control towers, enabling the Israeli forces to free the hostages held captive in Uganda. Almog was the last to leave Ugandan soil after the successful mission. Another highlight in his prestigious career was the 1984-85 Operation Moses, the clandestine airlift of 6,000 endangered Jews from Ethiopia to Israel.
In the above video, Almog also speaks with Ari and Jeremy about recently-killed IDF officer Eliraz Peretz, who once approached Almog because he was debating his future in the army after his brother was killed in service. According to IDF rules, bereaved family members can be released of any combat life-endangering service. Almog also is a bereaved brother and he strengthened Eliraz to do “what his heart told him to.”
Almog’s brother Eran was a tank commander killed on the Golan Heights during the Yom Kippur War. After the tragedy, Almog discovered that, because of the danger to the forces, Eran was abandoned, bleeding to death in the tank. It was that experience that strengthened Almog’s belief in the idea that “soldiers must never be abandoned on the field.”
Almog also speaks about his son Eran, who suffered from severe autism and developmental disability, and the Aleh Negev village he founded. Aleh Negev provides residential, medical and social services to the severely handicapped of southern Israel. After Eran’s death at the age of 23 in 2007, Aleh Negev was renamed in his memory, Aleh Negev Nachalat Eran.
Tuesday Night Live in Jerusalem hosted an evening on Sunday to commemorate Israel’s national Memorial Day, honoring and mourning the fallen soldiers and victims of terror.
In the following video, Ari Abramowitz and Jeremy Gimpel speak with Rabbi Stewart Weiss of Raanana, father of the late Staff-Sgt. Ari Weiss of the Nachal Brigade. On the evening of Sep. 30, 2002, in a raid against Hamas terrorist headquarters in Shechem (Nablus), Ari was killed in an exchange of fire while saving the life of a fellow soldier. As part of an elite anti-terrorist force, Ari was his unit’s top sharpshooter and explosives expert, and participated in many dangerous missions against terrorist targets.
The evening was accompanied by a moving performance by The Ramatayim Men’s Choir, hosted by Richard Shavei-Tzion.
In this video, Ari Abramowitz and Jeremy Gimpel, hosts of Tuesday Night Live in Jerusalem, meet Natan (Anatoly) Sharansky, the chairman of the Jewish Agency. He was one of the founders and spokesmen for the “Refusenik” movement in Moscow in the 1970s after being denied an exit visa to Israel in 1973. Israel TV aired a two part documentary on the “Refusemiks” during the Intermediate Days of Passover in which he was featured.
Sharansky was sent to the Siberian Gulag for nine years on false spy charges, after being arrested the morning after his wedding, and was finally released in 1986 in a prisoner swap. His wife, Avital, fought untiringly for his freedom, travelling all over the world on his behalf. Since immigrating to Israel upon his release, Sharansky has held various high governmental positions, headed a Knesset party and was Cabinet minister.
He is the symbol of strength, resistance, and the Jewish dream for many people around the world.
Sharansky, along with former Israeli Chief Rabbi Yisrael Meir Lau, will lead the March for the Living in Poland on Holocaust Remembrance Day next week.
In this eye opening episode, Ari and Jeremy take to the streets of Jerusalem, meet veteran Olim (immigrants to Israel) as well as one potential immigrants, and hear tips, thoughts and suggestions regarding Aliyah (immigration to Israel) and absorption in the country. Get ready for laughter, inspiration, and an emergency dose of Zionism.
Watch this week’s edition of Tuesday Night Live in Jerusalem, this time hosting historian Rabbi Berel Wein.
When host Jeremy Gimpel’s asked him for the main lesson that the Jews of the world should learn from Jewish history, Rabbi Wein replied: “They should be more Jewish. If history has taught us anything it is that those who thought they could escape the Jewish destiny by not being Jewish… it has turned to ashes. Literally ashes.”
Founder and director of “The Destiny Foundation”, Rabbi Wein has been revolutionizing the presentation and availability of Jewish history through the dramatic and entertaining documentary series “Faith and Fate.”
On this episode of TNL, he reveals many of the secrets and pearls of wisdom that have kept the Jewish Nation alive and thriving for the past 4,000 years.
