According to the minister, this marks a significant increase compared to 2020, which saw the number of people making Aliyah drop to 22,000, among other things due to the COVID pandemic.

Ron Vaknin - 'Omed Basha'ar (Standing At The Gate)

I have heard that You are returning all the way
I have seen angels set the table for the King's son
Also seen a ladder of yearnings ascend and descend
I have heard winds soothing the leaves,
I have seen You, it's not an illusion

I have heard You returning,
I have seen the stars and the moon dance
They too know how to roll back over,
I have heard that the sun is essentially a shadow
I have seen a tower trembling and collapse

Thus come - we've been waiting for You too many years...
We've gone mad with no more patience left
Only going and degrading all the time
Thus come!

Yes come, there're no more tools left to break,
We don't know who is sane and the drunk
That falls into a cave for no reason,
Thus come, yes come...

- by 'Amir Benayoun.​

This Week Torah Portion 'Vayehi'- Jacob's last request from Joseph | Herzl’s Grandparents to Be Brought to Israel​

'Do me this favour, place your hand under my thigh as a pledge of your steadfast loyalty: please do not bury me in Egypt. When I lie down with my fathers, take me up from Egypt and bury me in their burial-place.' He replied, 'I will do as you have spoken.' And he said, 'Swear to me.' And he swore to him. And Israel bowed at the head of the bed."

The president of the Republika Srpska of the Serbian Republic of Bosnia and Herzegovina agreed on Monday to help exhume the bones of the grandfather and grandmother of Theodor Herzl, the father of modern political Zionism, and send them to Israel.

President Željka Cvijanović visited Mount Herzl earlier this week.

During the visit, Yaakov Hagoel, chairman of the World Zionist Organization, said that Herzl’s grandparents, from whom he drew his Zionist inspiration, were buried in her country, and asked the president to help bring their bones to Israel.

The town’s spiritual leader, Rabbi Yehuda Alkalai of Zemun, one of the forerunners of Zionism, influenced Herzl’s grandfather and guided him to the vision of political Zionism, which he then, evidently, passed on to his grandson.

The 10th of Tevet is a wakeup call - opinion​

Asara Betevet is the only fast where the original rabbinic authorities were divided on which day the historical event should be commemorated. Should it be on the fifth of the month, when the actual siege on Jerusalem began, or on the 10th of Tevet, when news of the siege reached the people living in Babylonia?

There is a very significant difference between these two dates. Are we fasting to mark the siege itself or, rather, the day when the Jews in exile became aware of the fact that this had occurred and internalized the immense loss that it represented?

A second question worthy of consideration is why we would even choose to mark the beginning of the destruction of Jerusalem and not just the final destruction itself – which is already commemorated on Tisha Be’av.

There is an essential lesson to garner from both these questions.

In general, a fast in Judaism is not intended as a day of mourning, but, rather, as a day of teshuva (repentance).
