🇷🇺 🇮🇱 Former hostage Andrey Kozlov reunited with his mother
Andrey Kozlov’s mother just landed in Israel from Russia! As soon as she arrived in Israel she was whisked away to the Sheba Medical Center, Tel Hashomer, where Andrey is currently located. The consulate general of Israel in St. Petersburg, Russia, had accompanied her on the journey to Israel. Kozlov was working as a security guard at the Nova Music Festival when he was taken hostage by Hamas. [JBN] Watching this I thought; Mama’s here. You’ve been through hell. But now everything’s going to be alright. A reminder how...

My friends, this Shabbat Lt. Col. Arnon Zamora from the Israeli Police Special Forces Unit was killed in the rescue operation in Nusirat. I wanted to share with you an experience I had with him. I was at some show at the amphitheater in Mevasseret Zion a few years ago. There were a few thousand people there. Suddenly, a lovely guy approached me, asked if he identified me correctly, and told me that he was an officer in the special forces and asked me to come lecture to them about Entebbe. Of course, I agreed. On October 16, 2023, I received a...

It’s been many months since I felt the kind of joy I felt today when my daughter, Tsofia, came home close to the end of Shabbat and told us that her friend’s mother had heard from a foreign worker that 4 hostages had been released from captivity by IDF soldiers, B”H!!! This video of the first conversation between Shlomi and Miran Ziv is so beautiful. I love how she asks him what she should bring him. And he tells her, “Drive safely!” May all the families of all the remaining hostages be reunited like this sweetest...

Happy Jerusalem Day #57 by Sivan Rahav Meir
These are challenging days in Israel. In the North, in the South, and especially in the heart. This week is the anniversary of the Six Day War. An important reminder of what we are capable of, with God’s help. The small state of Israel was 19 years old in 1967. It faced an existential threat, to exist or to cease to exist. Our response was: to exist, and in a big way. In six days little Israel defeated the Arab armies that were certain they would destroy and finally stop this attempt of the Jewish people to finally return home. It is...

[Our 11-year-old Yaakov is going into junior-high school next year, and his rabbi asked for us parents to write blessings for our sons in preparation for this momentous transition. Here’s the blessing I wrote for Yaakov):To our dearest Yaakov,In the “Al HaTsadikim” prayer, all kinds of people are mentioned who are an inspiration, who are meant to be role models for the entire Jewish people.This list includes the righteous, the elders, the scribes, as well as righteous converts (and some say this also refers to baalei teshuva)...

Tonight my neighbor, Shirel, invited over Rabbanit Eliyahu, the daughter-in-law of Rav Mordechai Eliyahu, to give a class about Shavuot in honor of the yahrzeit of Shirel’s father.Rabbanit Eliyahu told us something I never knew, that these days between Lag Baomer and Shavuot are among the spiritually highest days of the year.And then she shared a midrash I found incredible. That at the giving of the Torah at Mt. Sinai every person worked hard to make sure that he or she wasn’t blocking the view of anyone else. Their own desire to...
