We are about to start the 2 day festival of Rosh Hashana (New Years) and the IDF soldiers have a special message for all the Jews around the world.

My message to the IDF soldiers who are serving right now during our high holy days is to thank you for your tireless efforts to keep us all safe at all times and especially during these times, Thank you for all you do, all the units, whether combat or not, the IDF can only function as one and no single unit alone keeps us safe. You are the best of the best in every way and we love you and are proud of you!

Rosh Hashana is not like Christian New Years, it is known as the day of Judgement for all Jews, believers or not and I pray that all Jews, whether a believer or not will prosper this year and find their way to the truth always.

I will be offline for 2 days.....

Shana Tova le'kulam ve Chag Sameach!!!
שנה טובה לכולם וחג שמח!!!

Due to the Covid situation we are praying outside the front of our apartment again this year for Rosh Hashanah...

Last year we had about 100 people in this space for Rosh Hashanah and about 200 for Yom Kippur.

Signing off now for 2 days.

Shana tova!!!

Israelis doing great things for IDF soldiers!

This man's name is David, he is a true gem, a dictionary definition of a mensch.

He is retired and every day he spends his own money on drinks and food that he cooks at home and then distributes to IDF Golani soldiers and other soldiers who are positioned in pillboxes and guard posts in the area called Ariel.

What a man! Give him the respect he deserves!

Kol HaKavod David!!

See the comments for more amazing things Israelis do for IDF soldiers.

WOW WOW now this is a young Israeli man who knows how to set an example!

His name is Naor and in the late hours of the night he went down to the beach with a loads of garbage bags and gloves and singlehandedly cleaned the entire lawn by the beach as well as the parking lots which were covered in garbage.

Why did he do it? Well, his response to that was that he wasn't looking to perform a mitzvah nor looking to be a lovable neighbour.

He said that he did it because someone the age of his father or his grandfather gets up early in the morning to clean up all the filth of people who do not care to take care of the environment and themselves and they get paid 25 shekels an hour to do this (it is not very much money).

This is probably the Israeli Jew with the biggest balls in Israel - this was not filmed in Israel though but rather deep in the Shomron (Samaria) in an Arab village called Huwara which is near Shchem (or what Arabs call Nablus)

He literaly just ripped that terrorist flag from that car without concern! Nice one!!

This is the only way to behave against these people so they understand who is in charge and that we are not afraid.

Haha nice! This happened tonight in Hebron as Arabs were attacking incoming IDF soldiers by throwing stones at them...Golani soliders flanked them and he didn't see that one coming!

This song, called Lecha Eli, is too good not to share again.

I have posted this before but posting again because next week is Yom Kippur and this song has powerful words which we recite on Yom Kippur.

This deeply personal Piyut was authored by the great Sephardic Rabbi Avraham Ibn Ezra and opens the Yom Kippur prayers among most Sephardic communities. Throughout the text, the author describes his innermost feelings, his pining for Hashem and for His closeness. He thanks Hashem for all he has received — beginning with his daily life and ending with his death.

This amazing collaboration is between famous Israeli singers Narkis, Tal Gordon and Omer Koren.

The translated words are in the comments...

I reported this piece of walking trash to the Israeli police and they have opened an investigation due to the illegal weapons he has.

You can clearly see his face and Israeli license plate on his car with a Fatah flag in the background on his house.
