The other day I attended an amazing wedding organized and funded by Israeli singer, Lior Narkis, along with Amit Lapidot, who he partnered with to make this amazing evening happen for the 11th time.

I asked them to say a few words and listen to the amazing things that Amit explains about what he has been involved in doing for soldiers and families affected by the October 7th massacre.

Amit has raised close to 1 million shekels for all of this and even donated 200,000 shekels of his own money. These events are very expensive and if you would like to contribute a significant amount please let me know and I will put you in touch with him. Remember this is for IDF soldiers, everyone involved is volunteering

See the videos I took here:

Want to volunteer in the IDF, in IDF uniform and work on a base as though you are a real IDF soldier?

Here is an amazing opportunity that many people asked me about and so I found something for non-Israelis and also for Israelis who want to volunteer for the IDF.

This is a volunteer program to join the IDF Logistics Corp for 5 days minimum and you can volunteer for weeks if you want. You will be given an IDF uniform and will report to a base to perform whatever is needed.

To apply you simply go to this URL: https://www.sar-el.org/programs/

Another amazing Israeli guy

This guy sat eating at a restaurant in Mazkeret Batya and every single time an IDF soldier walked in, he paid for their meal and refused to let them pay even if they insisted.

In a society where the citizens respect the soldiers, the soldiers will respect the citizens and do whatever they can to keep their citizens safe.

A recording of a conversation in Arabic between an IDF officer and a resident of Gaza regarding the aid entering the Gaza Strip through the Rafah crossing and how Hamas has a hand in everything. They completely control the aid administered by UNRWA.

A touching moment as this IDF combat soldier returned from the war in Gaza after more than 75 days and came to surprise his father who was celebrating his birthday

Wow this is truly heartbreaking

In this video is fallen IDF soldier, Captain Shaul Greenglick, who was killed in action in Gaza this week and you see him singing in the background while his mother holds him. He had just returned from Gaza for a few days.

May his memory be for a blessing.

The song being sung is Shlomo Artzi's "Imagine Yourselves"

The song being sung in the video above is Shlomo Artzi's "Imagine Yourselves"

This is the English translation of the lyrics of the song in the video above:

Imagine yourselves a beautiful world, less sad than it is
And we are walking there with the sun in our pockets
And above the rooftops, the stars
And the time goes by fearless
And I am going to meet her in heaven

Imagine yourselves some joy
Because it is so rare around here
A cool city in the dark and both of us under the blanket
She caresses me and says
Whatever you wanted will happen tomorrow
And she is full of reflections of sadness and happiness

Imagine yourselves in a middle of a beautiful day
The sky is above you, the love is with you
Yes, That's the way it happened, suddenly she said
I can still remember her, like in a storm
Imagine yourselves me falling into her arms

Imagine yourselves a simple world, a room for a night, a house in the rain
Tree scents filled with strawberries, and both of us are drunk
"If we ever break up i'll die", she whispers nervously
Imagine yourselves another chance of suddenly returning to youth

Imagine yourselves life, moving backwards and forward
Whatever is missing is getting filled again, whatever once was is now here
And I look into her eyes and lose my mind from the power within
Imagine yourselves us fulfilling all of our dreams

Imagine yourselves in the middle of a beautiful day...

Imagine yourselves a beautiful world, less sad than it is
And we are walking there with the sun in our pockets
(Imagine yourselves a beautiful world, a city in the dark)
A simple world, Imagine yourselves some joy

Haredim are useless in our society they said!
