Today and this Shabbat we are doing the most unique event I think anyone in Israel has ever done for IDF soldiers

For the first time we not only had a BBQ pool party all day for special forces soldiers from the Maglan unit, we are also having all of them stay over for Shabbat with us to have an amazing Shabbat together with meals, prayers, singing and just relaxing

Thank you to all involved and to Grills of Hope

A pic from our incredible party for a platoon of special forces soldiers from the Maglan unit that we did on Friday and then they stayed over for Shabbat with us

Honored to have received a certificate of appreciation from the commander of the Maglan platoon we did the event for

This Shabbat we did with 32 special forces IDF soldiers from the Maglan unit was possibly the most incredible Shabbat experience I have ever had in my life.

The non-Jewish cleaning lady, who had never seen anything like this in her life, filmed our Kabbalat Shabbat and Shalom Aleichem prayers, she was blown away, so were we. I confirmed with a rabbi that this video is ok to share as nobody asked her to film this and it's only intention is to inspire Jews to get closer to Judaism.

There was just a terrorist attack in the Binyamin area

Paramedics managed to restore the victim’s pulse, but he remains in a critical condition

The Air Force deployed aircraft to the area, while several Duvdevan Unit teams have joined the manhunt for the terrorist

At the end of our incredible Shabbat with 32 elite IDF soldiers, we invited a Rabbi in Caesaria to lead us in a Carlebach havdalah

What an incredible moment it was to end the already incredible Shabbat we had!

These videos of the soldiers singing Havdalah songs with us are too good to post in a single post - this one is them singing Am Yisrael Chai etc

I wish we didnt need to blur their faces so you can see the joy they have on their faces

Ok ok I have one more video of the IDF special forces soldiers singing "Tamid Ohev Oti" for Havdalah after the incredible Shabba we had with them

Intense footage from the shooting during the terror attack this morning

Unfortunately the victim succumbed to his wounds

Thankfully the terrorist was caught by elite Duvdevan soldiers but unfortunately he is still alive

He was found inside a medical center near Ramallah

A video of Jews Jewing

This is how Tel Aviv Jews sing songs during slichot 💙🇮🇱

My beautiful nation

An amazing gathering of Jews last night in Tel Aviv for the last slichot prayers before Yom Kippur

What a beautiful nation we are. 💙🇮🇱

The head of a department at Ichilov Hospital reached out to a Yeshiva in Tel Aviv about a seriously ill patient whose greatest wish was to come to ask for forgiveness.

This morning, accompanied by an ICU team, he made it there. Surrounded by yeshiva students, he prayed and asked for forgiveness.

This was Netanel Shakron from Ali Zahav who was murdered today by the Nazi Jihadist

He was a high tech professional and father of 6 who had gone to the mivkah with his eldest son to immerse himself in preparation for Yom Kippur

I was just told now that he was a good friend of my friend, they serve in the same unit 😭

May his memory be for a blessing

Incredible!!

Last night slichot prayers, last one before Yom Kippur

This is a song called "Titen Acharit Le'Amecha" which is a piyut associated with Yom Kippur supposedly written in Rashi's Beit Midrash but the author is unknown.

Tonight is Yom Kippur

Well over the fast and gmar chatima tova

This amazing collaboration between Jewish brothers & sisters, between religious & secular, famous Israeli singers Narkis, Tal Gordon and Omer Koren is called Lecha Eli which has powerful words that we recite tonight on Yom Kippur.

May you be signed and sealed in The Book of Life and well over the fast.

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.
