Happy Mother’s Day and Happy Lag b’Omer, Beautiful People! Our sages said, „Who is wise? One who learns from every person” (Ethics of Our Fathers, 4:1). The first person in our lives we have a chance to learn from is MOTHER. From her we learn kindness, caring, and most importantly, unconditional love. Sometimes, it’s not a biological mother who does the mothering in one’s life, as proven by a phone call I just received from my adopted son. Here is a musical tribute to all mothers by the great Itzhak Perlman and the renown cantor Yitzchak Meir Helfgot.
This year, Mother’s Day coincided with a Jewish holiday Lag b’Omer. It is one of the less known holidays, yet a very important one. We celebrate it by lighting bonfires in memory of Rabbi Shimon bar Yohai who was called „Botzina Kadisha” („The Sacred Lamp”) and whose teachings „illuminate the…
On April 24th Israelis will commemorate Holocaust Memorial Day. This is not the same date as the International Holocaust Memorial Day. This date was chosen to emphasize the place of the Holocaust in the story of the Jewish people.
We do this by first celebrating Passover. One week later, we mark Holocaust Memorial Day. Exactly one week after that is Memorial Day for IDF soldiers and victims of terrorism. The following day is a joyful celebration, Israel’s Independence Day.
This pattern is deliberate. The message is very clear. The exodus from slavery to freedom is an on-going journey. As we acknowledge during the Passover Seder: “In every generation [enemies] rise up against us, to destroy us, and every time God saves us from their hands.”
In other words, our very existence is a miracle.
The Passover story is relevant to our modern experiences. The lessons remain the same. The defiance…
.Today is the 7th and last day of Pesach.We remember how on that day Moses led the newly-forming Jewish People out of Egypt through the split waters of the sea.”And Moses stretched out his hand over the sea; and the LORD caused the sea to go back by a strong east wind all the night,…
I’m writing this following a question from a friend overseas who asked me: “Besides sharing the truth about Israel, what can we do to help?” There are obviously many things that can be done. These are a just a few easy suggestions I put together to show how anyone, with little effort can make a difference.
What can I do to help Israel?
Spread truth –
The media war is just as important, and sometimes more so, than the war on the ground. There are more people involved in spreading lies than those involved and passionate about the truth. You can make a difference! Even a single candle can light the darkness.

Dedicat celor care au trecut pe aici 🙂 ! – Dedicated to those who passed by here 🙂 !
După părerea mea un blog care după 3 ani de activitate și 1000 de postări nu a reușit să acapareze în medie 24 de vizitatori pe zi(un vizitator pe oră, în medie !!!) nu este un blog îndreptățit să existe !
In my opinion, a blog that after three years of activity,and 1000 posts,can’t attract 24 visitors per day ( a visitor per hour, in average) isn’t a viable one, and don’t have the right to exist !
Un salut cald și mulțumiri tuturor celor care au trecut pe aici,odată,accidental, sau mai des,vizitând,apreciind sau comentând cele 1000 de postări afișate până astăzi.Vă urez numai bine,sănătate și succes în tot ce veți face ! Rămâneți cu bine 🙂 !
A warm welcome and thanks to all those who have been here once or more often,visiting,appreciating or commenting on the 1000 posts posted. I wish you good health and success in all that you will do ! Farewell 🙂 !
