Mazal tov to this IDF Golani combat soldier for completing the Masa Kumta (Beret march to earn the beret) and who also just proposed to his girlfriend at the end of the Golani Beret ceremony for the November 20 cycle.

She said yes! Then his buddies sang some great songs like yismach chatani and simcha gedola halayla.

The Director General of the Ministry of Foreign Affairs, Alon Oshpiz, met with the Moroccan Foreign Minister, Nasser Borita in Rabat, the capital of Morocco, and delivered an epistle from the Foreign Minister Yair Lapid to him and an invitation to the first ever official visit of a Moroccan Foreign Minister in Israel.

In addition Lapid expects to strengthen the political ties between Israel and Morocco by building economic, technological, cultural and tourist collaborations between the countries.

Lapid added that the launch of the direct flights between the countries, which is expected to take place in a few weeks, will encourage the ties between the nations and strengthen the tourism sector in both countries.

Lapid continuing Bibi's great legacy.

What an amazing guy this is....he is Captain (Res.) Udi Heller.

Udi is on the autistic spectrum and was thrown out of the house as a child, lived on the street and slept in kindergartens. Despite everything, he managed to complete a degree in computer science on his own, enlisted in the IDF and very recently received the rank of Captain.

Yesterday, during the farewell ceremony for the president, he presented the project he initiated called "Move Forward", in which hundreds of autistic people will be integrated for the first time as soldiers.

Kol Hakavod Udi and thank you for your great service proving to all that anyone can succeed, you just have to want to.

You are going to want to read this!

I will start with the pic on the right first.

This badass IDF combat veteran is Tomer Bohdana who served as a company commander in the 890th Battalion of the Tzanchanim (paratroopers) brigade. This pic is super famous in Israel. Some of you may know it.

This was the moment during the 2nd Lebanon war (Kfar Merkba 10.08.2006) when Tomer was hit by an RPG and survived it but was in a pretty serious condition. His pic become famous after he pulled a V sign (for Victory) while the doctor, Dr. Adi Nimrod, literally held holes closed in his neck using his fingers as he was bleeding out quite badly and the doctor ended up saving his life. Tomer didn't seem phased at all as you see. His V sign become a symbol of the IDF's power from that moment on.

Continued in the comments....

This is Almog Katzav who serves in the Magav (Border Police) as a fighter, what a great voice he has as he sings Sarit Hadad's "K'sheHaLev Boche" (Shema Yisrael)

Nice one!

This pic is taken by Igal Slavin and is of combat soldiers in the IDF Golani brigade who are in the November 20 cycle this week.

The soldier on the left is a Druze soldier from the Galilee in Israel.
The soldier in the middle is a religious Jew from Australia!
The soldier on the right is a traditional Jew of Ethiopian descent.

Together they are brothers in arms no matter their background!!

This is for those out there who assume they know better than Israeli security heads do.

Many people out there assume demolishing the homes of terrorists is not effective and don't see the point in it but these people assume to hold all of the details and data which they don't. You are just an outsider with an opinion, remember that. The data and facts don't lie.

Listen to why we know it works, and this is just 1 reason, there are many more which are based on actual data, not just on testimonies but this alone is proof enough. When you work for the Israeli security services you will know this, when you don't you won't.

There is a massive amount of resources and money which goes into this and so we would not waste all of this for no significant impact, we don't have money to burn.

Still think you know better?

Key take-aways: Lower the ego and arrogance then listen and learn.

Nice job on this one my friend Matan Peleg (CEO of Im Tirtzu)

Wow this is just great!

In this pic are, from the right, grandfather, son and grandson.
3 generations totaling 122 years of IDF service!

The grandfather is Ezra Yachin who is 92 years old and who is the oldest reservist in the IDF. He was injured in the 1948 Independence war but continued to serve in the IDF till today.

Next to him is his son Michael, who is also a reservist for more than 20 years and finally his grandson Saar, who served in the 7th Brigade.

Kol HaKavod guys! Always be safe!

Amazing new song by famous Israeli singer Omer Adam. (English lyrics in comments)

This one is called Yerushalayim (Jerusalem) which he released for Jerusalem Day in May.

Besides his incredible voice, I respect his respect for Judaism and Israel. He is from a really good family. He isn't religious, though sings religious songs and even refused to perform live on Shabbat due to him respecting that one should not work on Shabbat and make money. He has his head in the right place.

Enjoy and Shabbat Shalom!
