As Israel valiantly fights an existential battle against Hamas in Gaza, it is painfully aware that Hamas is but one of Iran’s Shia proxies looking to spread the Islamic revolution. Rabbi Steven Weil, CEO of Friends of the IDF and former pulpit rabbi and the director of the Orthodox Union, joins Teller From Jerusalem to share his wisdom and insight regarding the frightening threats Israel must cope with and be prepared for.
Although the Shia are the minority in the Islamic world, they pack enormous weight through their proxies directed by the IRCG. Be it the Houthis in Yemen, Shia militia in Syria, Judea and Samaria (the West Bank), the terrorist groups in Gaza and the most heavily armed proxy with the most sophisticated weaponry, the Hezbollah in Lebanon, all are at the beck and call of Iran to eliminate any country or force opposed to the hegemonic caliphate that they are determined to establish.

TFJ Season 4 Episode 4 The Sterling Example of Rabbi Yehuda Kelemer (conclusion) and Hatzalah Israel
Rabbi Kelemer had the unique talent to empower whomever he encountered and always left them with a better feeling about themselves and their abilities.

TFJ Season 4 Episode 3 The Transformational IDF – An Interview with Rabbi Steven Weil (CEO of the FIDF)
One’s first association of the IDF is that of a mighty army that secures Israel’s borders and simultaneously prevents an Iranian hegemonic caliphate in the Middle East. But the IDF is very much also the platform and the wherewithal to enable Israelis – of every background – to live the Israeli dream.
The IDF presents an incredible educational opportunity for those who have been deprived of a high school education, or received weak schooling. The first priority for the scholarships are for minorities: Arabs, Druze or Christians. But even those who do not participate in the IDFs continuing education programs, are very much involved in a broader educational project that is the essence of the IDF. During their years of service, young men and women will transform from selfish takers absorbed with their phones, into mature, responsible adults who blossom into givers that are committed to each other for life.

TFJ Season 4 Episode 1 Iran’s Greatest Asset as Explained by Rabbi Steven Weil
The IRGC (Islamic Revolutionary Guard Corps) has spread its tentacles all over the earth. Their greatest resource is the Hezbollah in Lebanon who probably possess 2000 precision guided missiles. These missiles have the capability of taking out Israel’s most valuable assets within 14 inches of accuracy.
Because of the existential threat that Hezbollah poses, when Israel called up its reservists after the October 7th attack, two thirds of them were sent to the North where 100,000 civilians have been evacuated to be out of direct Hezbollah range. But the danger that Hezbollah poses is not just to Israel. Iran seeks a hegemonic Shia califate that will threaten the world, and all that stands in their way is the State of Israel.

TFJ Season 2 Episode 39 The Life Worth Imitating: Rabbi Yehuda Kelemer (II)
From the time Rabbi Kelemer assumed his post as Rabbi of the Young Israel of West Hempstead, NY the congregants (and soon many, many others) understood that their Rabbi was totally devoted to assisting them, with never a consideration for his own personal comfort or prestige. His expertise in halacha was marshaled to assist those who grappled with dilemmas but wished to remain allegiant to Jewish law.
