Perhaps we are the generation who will, finally, put an end to anti-Semitism, to hatred within the Jewish people, to intolerance and bigotry. Perhaps we will be the ones leading by example, teaching others how to counteract baseless hatred and come together in love. Perhaps we will be the ones to build the Third and final Temple. Perhaps we can bring an end to the loss. Perhaps.

This week is one of the most enjoyable weeks of the year for me. Each year, thousands gather in Gush Etzion, at the Herzog College in Alon Shvut, for a 5 day Bible Seminar. Herzog is a religious college which began as a Bible School and then expanded to include a full range of academic … Read more
Beste vrienden, Ik besef dat het nog maar Juli is maar ik denk dat het niet te vroeg is om al aan Oktober te denken. Voor Joden is dat makkelijk. Na het einde van Shavuot (Pinksteren) een paar weken geleden is ons volgende feest eind September als de weken van de najaarsfeesten beginnen met Rosh … Read more
In just one afternoon, I’d fallen in love with the strong pioneering attitude of the residents, the winding roads and lush greenery and bright homes, and the magnificent sunset panoramas of Einav. It is a place so vital to the pumping heartbeat of the Biblical Heartland, and a place well worth protecting.
Do you want to visit the Holy Land? I can remember as a child dreaming of a visit to the Land of Israel. In those days, it was such a far-fetched idea, that it seemed as realistic as flying to the moon. I still remember my very first trip to Israel, the incredible rush of emotion as the plane touched down at Ben Gurion Airport. As the palm trees flashed by the window, I was unable to stop the tears flowing down my face. My heart was so full and I hadn’t even stepped foot off of the plane yet! Even today, I still get that same rush of emotion every time my plane touches down on the runway at Ben Gurion. There is nothing like coming home to Israel.
In recent years, terrorism has reared its head again and again in the Hebron Hills region. So many people have been murdered, leaving their families and their communities
Before I made Aliyah, I used to hear lots of American Jews repeat the same Hebrew saying: libi b’mizrach v’anochi basof hama’arav. Translated, it means, “My heart is in the east, but I am in the west.”
Tomorrow, my husband Ed and I will celebrate 40 years of marriage. It is really hard to believe that it has been that many years already. We met at university in 1975. I had just returned from my gap year in Israel and he was already a 3rd year student. We were part of a group of Orthodox Jews that celebrated Shabbat together each week and over time, we paired off. We got married just a few weeks after I received my BA.
[:de]Es ist zwar erst Juli, aber trotzdem nicht zu früh, um über Oktober nachzudenken. Für Juden ist das leicht zu tun. Mit dem Abschluss des Feiertages von Schawuot (Pfingsten) vor wenigen Wochen ist unser nächstes Fest Ende September, da die Herbstferien mit Rosch HaSchanah, dem jüdischen Neujahrsfest, auch als Fest der Posaunen bezeichnet, beginnen. Dann kommt Jom Kippur, der Tag der Buße, und danach das freudige und festliche Laubhüttenfest.[:nl]Ik besef dat het nog maar Juli is maar ik denk dat het niet te vroeg is om al aan Oktober te denken. Voor Joden is dat makkelijk. Na het einde van Shavuot (Pinksteren) een paar weken geleden is ons volgende feest eind September als de weken van de najaarsfeesten beginnen met Rosh HaShanah, het Joodse Nieuwjaar, ook wel bekend onder de naam ‘Feest van de bazuinen’. Daarn komt Jom Kippoer, Grote Verzoendag en vervolgens het blijde en feestelijke Loofhuttenfeest.[:]
