This IDF combat soldier wrote the following:

"For a whole year I have been waiting for this moment! This angelic woman simply refused to be photographed. Every time I say maybe this time it will happen. I tried several times and it didn't work. For a whole year every day she ran with a cart collecting pastries, sandwiches and treats from random people and distributed it all to IDF combat soldiers quietly and modestly as if they were her own children. Well she finally agreed this time and so I took a picture of her to show you all that she is truly an angel and deserves everyone to bless her."

Amazing stuff! Bless this woman!!

Wow what an absolutely touching moment as this lady named Alice Cohen invited Bibi Netanyahu to her 100th birthday celebration and gave him a blessing called Birkat Kohanim (Blessing of the Kohanim). Old Mizrachi women always give the best blessings :)

Mazal tov to you Alice!!

The words & translation of the blessing below:

Yevarechecha Hashem, V'Yishmerecha
Ya'er Hashem Panav Eleycha, ViChoneka
Yisa Hashem Panav Eleycha, V'Yasem Lecha Shalom

May the Lord bless you and keep you.
May the Lord shine His face toward you and be gracious unto you.
May the Lord lift His face toward you and give you peace.

I found Alice Cohen's video that she made and posted on social media blessing and inviting Bibi Netanyahu to her birthday celebration. The video got to Bibi and he arrived to it.

In the video she says how she blesses him daily and that her and her whole family are Likud voters and that she wants to bless him like he is her son.

Today is the Jewish holiday of Tu B'Av (literally the 15th of the Jewish month of Av).

This is how a Jewish Yemenite man surprised his wife by buying her a gift while their grandson filmed it.

According to the Mishna, Tu B'Av was a joyous holiday in the days of the Temple in Jerusalem, marking the beginning of the grape harvest. On Yom Kippur and Tu B'Av, the unmarried girls of Jerusalem dressed in white garments and went out to dance in the vineyards. The Talmud states that there were no holy days as happy for the Jews as Tu B'Av and Yom Kippur. Which is why if you come to a Mizrachi synagogue on Yom Kippur, it is an uplifting spiritual experience that appears like a celebration.

I totally missed this one from Jerusalem Day back in May and it is never too late to show a great moment.

This is Jewish woman was surrounded by a group of young girls celebrating around her on Jerusalem Day after they saw her sitting there holding a flag. They brought much joy to her.

This is a very powerful message by Rabbi David Bar-Hayim relating to Tisha B'Av but about Jewish survival.

This week marks 17 years since one of the worst tragedies in Israeli history occurred, one that still has a massive negative affect on the Israeli security situation as well as on the many people it directly affected and those that it now indirectly affects. The disengagement from Gaza took place whereby over 8000 Jews were forced to leave their homes in ruins only to be taken over by blood thirsty terrorists in Gaza.

See the videos and pic below this post.

I included one of the most iconic videos and songs that will bring a grown man to tears as the very last group of Jewish girls who were the last to leave Gaza and before they left they let everyone know how they felt by singing their hearts out for hours in the Beit Knesset to the prayer of Tefila LeAni. See the full documentary here: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=PMYz0spNfhY

I included a pic of Yelena Bosinova z"l.....just before the disengagement she became the first Israeli to burn herself to death in protest...the protest was against the disengagement of Gaza. She was a right-wing activist who wrote on Russian websites expressing her concern that the disengagement would bring disaster to Israel and boy was she right. She was also an engineer and a physicist. Even though I do not agree with her choice of protest, may her memory be a blessing!

In addition I include a very sad song by Narkis who was born in Gush Katif and who was forced out too. It caused her and her husband to divorce. She slightly changed the words to the poem "Im Nin'alu" and then added her own words in the rest of the song. The people in the video are some who were kicked out of their homes.

The scars of those people still hurt to this day and that isn't an exaggeration. A large amount of the families have broken homes now, parents divorced, many still homeless and live in shelters in Ashdod and other places. None of the left wingers in Tel Aviv or anywhere else in Israel gave a crap and do not give a crap today for what they protested so strongly for. I pray we never see such an awful moment again.

May all of those who were exiled from their homes, only to be replaced with savage terrorists, find their peace and prosper and may we return to all parts of our land.

Some additional information about the disengagement which is interesting.

On the 7th August 2005, Bibi Netanyahu resigned from the Likud just prior to the cabinet ratification of the first phase of the disengagement plan. Netanyahu blamed the Israeli government for moving "blindly along" with the disengagement by not taking into account the expected upsurge in terrorism and boy was he right too.

On the 10th August 2005, in his first speech before the Knesset following his resignation, Netanyahu spoke of the necessity for Knesset members to oppose the proposed disengagement.
"Only we in the Knesset are able to stop this evil. Everything that the Knesset has decided, it is also capable of changing. I am calling on all those who grasp the danger: Gather strength and do the right thing. I don't know if the entire move can be stopped, but it still might be stopped in its initial stages. [Don't] give [the Palestinians] guns, don't give them rockets, don't give them a sea port, and don't give them a huge base for terror."

Ultra-Orthodox Jews who walk to the Western Wall from the Shchem Gate receive beatings, curses and spitting from Arab children.

This happens in the Old City of Jerusalem almost every Shabbat. This time it was filmed by an Arab who was sitting there.

If these were Jewish kids doing this it would be all over the news and people would be outraged but because it's Arab kids it is acceptable.
