The Trump Administration’s policy to focus on white-Afrikaners by offering them refugee status in the United States, now supported by a bill just introduced into Congress, falls into the same trap as the ANC does—understanding South Africa as a conflict between black and white.

Chief Rabbi Warren Goldstein explains why framing South Africa’s problems as a black-vs-white conflict is not only inaccurate, but deeply damaging.

Yes, white farmers face real threats. But black farmers do too. In fact, black South Africans suffer most from the government’s failures – from land expropriation without title, to stock theft, to failing services.

South Africa’s crisis is not racial. It’s about valuesl. And the solution lies in a new alliance: built on shared values of faith, family, work, dignity, law and decency — values that unite black and white South Africans, and that align with the American founding vision.

This is the message America needs to hear.

Why do we pray? God already knows our needs so why do we need to ask?

In this talk, Chief Rabbi Warren Goldstein explores this week’s parsha, Vayikra, through the lens of Pirkei Avot — uncovering the structure, tension, and transformative purpose of prayer.

Prayer is not for God. It is a gift from God — for us.

Through a deep dive into the Mishnah, the Amidah, and Jewish thought, the Chief shares why our tefillah must contain both form and spirit, structure and soul.

He explains how prayer doesn’t aim to change God — it comes to change us. And why, even in the most modern, rational world, the yearning to connect with the Creator has never disappeared.

Listen this powerful shiur on the inner meaning of prayer — and what it can do for your life.

Judaism is a system grounded not only in vision and ideas, but in action.

As we study Parshat Pekudei, we return once again to the Mishkan—the portable sanctuary that stood at the heart of Jewish life in the desert. The Torah dedicates extensive space not only to its design, but to its actual construction. Why such repetition?

Chief Rabbi Warren Goldstein draws on the timeless wisdom of Pirkei Avot to uncover a profound truth: in Judaism, it is not enough to think or speak—we must act. The repetition is not excess; it is emphasis. A reminder that great plans only matter when they are brought to life.

This parsha shiur is a deep dive into the values of integrity, follow-through, and spiritual action. Learn why the Torah emphasises deed over thought, and how this message from Parshat Pekudei can transform your daily life.

Join the Chief for a powerful reflection on how the Mishkan teaches us to live with purpose, discipline, and follow-through.

The recent beheadings of 70 Christians in a church in the DRC is not an isolated incident. There is a continent wide war being waged by Jihadists against Christians in Africa. Each year, thousands of Christians are murdered, raped, kidnapped and beheaded for their faith, burned inside in their churches across the continent. The world stays silent. The media ignores it. Governments look away. Even Christian leaders fail to act.

Why? Why is no one speaking out?

In this urgent message, Chief Rabbi Goldstein makes a direct call to all to get involved. The time for indifference is over. We must raise our voices. We must demand action from religious leaders, governments, and global institutions.

The Chief Rabbi of South Africa says that South Africans should welcome the Trump administration's interventions in the country’s affairs, and how these interventions present an historic opportunity to create a better life for all South Africans.

Highlights:

🔹 South Africa’s ties to Iran – a direct threat to national security and economic stability.

🔹 Expropriation without compensation – how diluting property rights discourages investment and destroys jobs.

🔹 Unemployment crisis – why South Africa’s economic growth lags behind other emerging markets.

🔹 Geopolitical realignment – the shifting balance of power with the US, Israel, China, and Russia.

🔹 Elon Musk, Donald Trump, and South Africa’s future – global leaders who see the opportunities that the ANC ignores.
