Shabbat with a Rocket Scientist (& Torah Scholar)!
Ari Sacher is a Rocket Scientist, and has worked in the design and development of missiles for over twenty years. He has briefed nearly one half of the US Congress on Israeli Missile Defense, including briefings on Capitol Hill at the invitation of the House Majority Leader. He speaks regularly for the Israeli Foreign Ministry. Dr. Sacher is a highly requested speaker at AIPAC events, enabling even the layman to understand the "rocket science", and his speaking events are regularly sold-out.
Ari has also been a scholar in residence in numerous synagogues in the USA and Canada. He is a riveting speaker, using his experience in the defense industry to explain the Torah in a way that is simultaneously enlightening and entertaining.
Ari studied at Yeshivat Kerem B’Yavneh, and publishes a weekly parasha shiur that is read around the world.

Looking for G-d in All the Wrong Places Keynote Address by Ari Sacher Many people saw the "Hand of G-d" in the performance of "Iron Dome" during the Operation Protective Edge, especially in a highly publicized incident in which the system failed to operate and G-d "stepped in". Through this we'll try to understand what Iron Dome does and what a "miracle" really is.
Shabbat Morning The Best Offense is a Good Defense Shabbat Morning Drasha by Ari Sacher Yaakov Avinu had two names, Yaakov and Yisrael. Each of these names came with a persona. Yisrael signifies majesty, while Yaakov signifies subterfuge. There are two ways to win a war: attack and defence. Missile Defense Systems, while hugely successful, are only one part of the equation.
