Thank God We Have A State - What Next?
Yom Haatzmaut - Israel Independence Day

The date of Independence Day
Why did we move yom Haatzmaut a day early this year?

The Holiness Of The State
Is it appropriate to celebrate the establishment of the State of Israel which was established according to secular values?

Appreciating Miracles
Thanking God for the miracles and recognizing the good, lies at the very foundation of our redemption. Therefore, if we want God's works of salvation to continue, we must thank Him.

Hosha'ana Rabba FLYDUBAI & HOSHANA RABBA- ANI VAHU HOSHIA NA- I & HIM SAVE US
"Ani vaHu Hoshia Na", "I and Him, Save Us". We don't just pray to Him, but we also pray to and for ourselves that we should emulate and educate our children to have that instinctive altruism with which He created the world. President Trump seemed amused about Yaniv Hayon, our PLUMBER who confidently worked with G-d like Superman (he learned from a pilot on a TV show!) to save 174 lives on the Dubai hijacking, but we in Israel are totally accustomed already 78 years to our plumbers, teachers, garbage-men, rabbis, farmers & doctors being Hashem's shlichim! This is what Zionism is about.
