A Visit With Shmuel: Yom Ha’aztmaut

In today’s video, I give you us a glimpse of how some of the devout pioneers in the Biblical Heartland express their gratitude to God for the miraculous restoration, 76 years ago, of the People of Israel in the Land of Israel. Noted in this year’s celebrations was also a profound reflection on the sacrifice of many soldiers and heroic volunteers who have valiantly defended the Land and People of Israel over the past year. I also shows you how the people in Samaria and the Jordan Valley are continuing to develop and build their communities no matter the challenges they face.

In recent years, you, our wonderful CFOIC Heartland friends and supporters, have been so generous in your donations to support various needs throughout Judea and Samaria. Thanks to you, we have truly made a difference in the ability of the communities to provide for their residents. Those living in the Biblical Heartland have many different needs, including senior centers, parks, libraries, cultural centers, and assistance for those in need.  Please give generously to these vital needs.

God Bless,

Shmuel
