Why celebrate
What reason do we have to celebrate on Israeli Independence Day and what what are religious people happy about? We should celebrate the progress we have made, and pray for what needs completion.

Thank God We Have A State - What Next?
“May it be God’s will that just as we have merited the beginning of the redemption, so may we merit hearing the shofar blast of our righteous Messiah.” Thank God we have a state, but how shall we proceed from here to the complete redemption?

"Dwell in the land, and enjoy security"
: When David ben Gurion announced the establishment of the state, was he acting realistically? We were but a nation of tattered refugees gathered together from the four corners of the earth, surrounded by millions of Arabs with imposing armies.

The Track, the Trees, and the Splendor
The process of establishing sanctity in Israel was riddled with vicissitudes, from the Shilo sanctuary in Joseph's hereditary portion, to Gibeon and Nov in the portion of Benjamin, and finally to Jerusalem. The same is true of Israel's leadership.

Appreciating Miracles - Redemption's Foundation
Thanking God for the miracles which He performs for us and recognizing the good which He has bestowed upon us, lies at the very foundation of our redemption. Therefore, even today, if we want God's works of salvation to continue, we must thank Him.

Yom Haatzmaut
Iyar 5762 | Rabbi S. Yossef Weitzen
The Pain of Destruction, the Pangs of Birth
Our redemption comes via our own self-sacrifice. Still, all exertion on our part is repaid for generously through God's attribute of mercy, through an outpouring of divine assistance to forward our redemption.
Yom Haatzmaut
Iyar 5762 | Rabbi S. Yossef Weitzen
Redemption in its Own Good Time
Precisely a gradual redemption, a redemption which lacks splendor, which evolves slowly and is played out over an extended period of time - precisely this sort of redemption has the power to uplift all aspects of existence.

"The Very Same Fire" - Death and Redemption
One who receives something for nothing does not always know how to appreciate it as he should. The more we sacrifice ourselves for the sake of possessing the Land the greater will our bond with the Land be.
