This wonderful lady is a long time friend of mine named Elana Yael Heideman (Ph.D.) who is the founder & executive director of an org called Israel Forever Foundation. She and her team are going full force at helping the orphans there and are needing your urgent help in order to help them.

See the comments for the ways you can help.

Well done to Sheina Vaspi for coming 15th place in the Paralympic Winter Games in China. She is the first ever Israeli to represent Israel in this competition.

Due to the fact that she is religious and keeps the Shabbat, she could not compete in a slalom as it was rescheduled for Saturday and so she cannot compete. So she would have probably done better than 15th place. Respect to her for putting her values above other things.

Vaspi, who grew up in a Chabad Hasidic family in the northern town of Yesud HaMa’ala, has always maintained her religious observance alongside her athleticism, even battling sports authorities to allow her to compete in a skirt.

She lost her leg in a car accident when she was three years old. She didn’t take up skiing until age 15, training with the Erez Foundation, a non-profit in northern Israel that was founded by veterans of the military’s alpine special forces unit and search and rescue specialists.

Mazal tov to the Haredi (ultra-Orthodox) unit called Netzach Yehuda which won the award for most outstanding battalion in the Kfir division of the IDF.

Well done to my friend Yossi Levi and his team who manage the recruitment and well-being of these great combat soldiers!

Mazal tov to the soldiers of the IDF Tzanchanim, Nahal and Givati brigades for completing their Masa Kumta (beret march) and for earning their berets this week.

In the first video you will hear the soldiers of Tzanchanim singing our national anthem.

Want to make the more than 100 Ukrainian orphans that arrived as refugees in Israel happy?

Film yourself giving a nice message of support to the kids which will be shown to them (in any language but if you can say something in Ukrainian it would be great).

Please submit your videos to me here ASAP: https://forms.gle/S7RXCSUCNYiqYC9A7

Thanks 🙏

This is how a religious IDF soldier in Hebron prepares for the Jewish festival of Purim, which is next week, by reading the Megilat Esther (and with a great voice).

What a Tzadik!!! This is Rabbi Naftali Cohen who is an expert Mohel for brit mila (Jewish circumcision) who flew to perform a circumcision in the besieged Odessa for an 8-day-old baby after dozens of other mohels refused to embark on the long and dangerous journey. The flight was funded by Ichud Hatzala (the Rescue Union).

He was detained for many hours by the Ukrainian Border Police at the border but in moments ago he was released and on his way now to perform this great mitzvah in the community of Rabbi Shlomo Bekshet where the last Jews in the city of Odessa remain.

Kol HaKavod & Mazal Tov to the family & the new member of the Jewish tribe!!

Since the war in Ukraine started I was trying hard to track down an old Jewish Ukrainian friend, who stayed in Israel for a bit, to find out if his family in the Ukraine are doing ok and I finally got hold of him and found out that he is in the Ukraine right now. His company transferred him back to the Ukraine some time ago and has not left even after the war started. This is what he had to say.

I admire his courage and determination to want to protect his birth country, I personally would never risk my life for another country other than Israel but I can understand why some will.

Either way I am praying for his, his wife and their family's safety!

This is the Temple Mount, the supposed 3rd most holiest place for Muslims (the only Holy place for Jews) yet see how they treat their "holy place" as a playground. This would never ever be allowed to take place in Mecca at the Kaaba, so is this really a holy place for them or just a place of politics? (rhetorical question)

I certainly know it is not a holy place for them, many in the world have no clue. Time to use common sense!

Mabruk to Muhammad Deuf, an IDF combat soldier in the Bedouin batallion, who completed his Masa Kumta (beret march) last week and received exemplary honors.

His uncle, on the right, is Lt. Col. Itamar Gadir, who was the commander of the this great batallion up until 2018, was waiting for him during the ceremony and gave him his personal purple beret that he wore throughout his service in the unit.

Kol HaKavod!
