102-year-old man to light Independence Day torch

Yaish Giat, a 102-year-old native of Yemen, will light a beacon at the lighting ceremony on Mount Herzl on Independence Day eve next week. Giat owns a spice shop in Ashkelon where he prepares natural medicines according to the Maimonides method.

"Yaish symbolizes the pioneering, influential and overflowing immigration of all Yemenite Jewry to Israel. His natural and traditional spices, made with true love, along with being a volunteer and writer, express the virtues of Israeli brotherhood," they stated. "We are pleased to announce to Yaish Giat that he has been chosen to light a beacon on the 73rd Independence Day of the State of Israel," the ministers in charge of organizing the ceremony, Miri Regev and Hili Tropper, said.

Israel – The Country of the Unexpected | Shemini-Yom HaAtzmaut 5781

Israel is the country of the unexpected. Impossible seemingly become possible, and things you would never anticipate actually happen.

This week walking down the road, someone from our office pointed out the Embassy of Kosovo, the embassy of a Muslim-majority country has been moved to Jerusalem. Only a year ago who would have imagined the Abraham Accords with Bahrain, the United Arab Emirates, Morocco and Sudan normalizing relationships?

The truth is everything about Israel and Jewish destiny is unexpected.

Herzl, an assimilationist, Western European Jew becoming the driver of the return to the Land of Israel in the modern era. The young shepherd David overcame the giant Goliath. Everything seems to have unusual results from unusual sources.

The Orthodox women of the Air Force: "They explain to me how the armament will set from the plane"

Quietly, quietly, a group of dozens of Orthodox women work in the development centers of the Ofek unit in the Kirya and at the Zrifin base, where they lead one of the main projects of the Air Force's technology unit, as part of the "Software in Faith" program. This week, the head of Atida, an Orthodox woman, received a medal of appreciation from the Air Force commander: "We made a real history together. Thank you to the women for sanctifying HaShem"

The ultra-Orthodox who have developed operational capabilities for Air Force fighter jets: In recent years, Air Force pilots have dropped thousands of bombs and missiles as part of the covert operations against Iran's establishment in Syria and the strengthening of Hamas and Hezbollah. But before the armaments, especially their new ones, were installed on fighter jets - a group of dozens of IDF-working civilians, all ultra-Orthodox, played a key role in the aircraft's aeronautical adaptation to bombs and missiles.

This is one of the main projects of the Air Force's technological unit, "Ofek", at the end of which many dozens of accurate attacks were possible, deep in enemy territory. Due to the large number of operations, the IDF purchased upgraded bombs, but parts of the existing fighter jets, the F-16 and the F-15, had to be adapted.

The software developers and the engineers who took a central part in the process are ultra-Orthodox, who were recruited to the Air Force as citizens, through the Atida organization. This is part of the "Software in Faith" project, which trains and transcends Orthodox women to work in high-tech companies or public bodies.

This week, the head of the association, Ester Salomon, received a medal of appreciation "beyond and beyond", from the commander of the Air Force, Major General Amikam Nurkin. Beside her stood Lt. Col. Yariv Gershuni, who led Jewish immigrants from Ethiopia and educated generations of commanders - and Sara Shadmi, a senior researcher who led a variety of developments in electronic warfare for nearly 50 years.

"Thanks to the women who sanctify HaShem"

Salomon, herself an Orthodox woman, thanked in her speech to the Air Force commander for "removing the barriers, opening the doors, understanding and faith, respect and sensitivity," she said. "Together we have made a true history that deserves to continue to prevail for the next generation. Thank you women for the sanctification of the name, the determination, the excellence and the gospel that you bring not only to your families, but also to the ultra-Orthodox society, the Air Force and the State of Israel."

Orthodox women in the IDF are not a common vision, if at all. This is a new phenomenon. The average age of women in the Ofek unit is 25. "They develop blocks (development versions) for the world of aviation, such as the 'light hail' bomb, It would have happened outside, "a senior officer in the unit explains to Ynet." Thus, in a short time, we use bombs for immediate and important operational needs. "

He said, "They themselves explain to me how the armament will be thrown from the plane - and how to properly operate the launch. They usually operate in the unit's laboratories and development centers in Tel Aviv or at the Zrifin base, so we took them to see the area, the squadrons, to see the fighter jets they renewed. "Squadron crews who said this was the first time they had spoken to an ultra-Orthodox man. One of them, from Ramat Beit Shemesh, brought her son and said to him in front of the fighter jets, 'Here, here is a mother working.'"

Working conditions adapted to their lifestyle

Another part of the ultra-Orthodox is leading development projects in the world of damage assessment after attacks. They were connected to the IDF as citizens through the Salomon Association, and as part of it received training as software developers or practical engineers.

"The desire to explore and improve is a part of us and is a fundamental component of the corps' organizational culture," Major General Nurkin said at the medal ceremony. "We are in increased competition with our enemies, and we must always be the first to meet the goals. Over the years, we have managed to strengthen the corps in connecting people to Israeli culture."

Yom Hazikaron: International joint study set to take place in Israel and around the world

Jews from all over the world will be able to access the designated site, established for this purpose. The initiative, led by the World Union of Synagogues, in Israel and around the world, will be implemented in Israel for twenty four hours straight,




Memorial Day for Fallen Israeli Soldiers, is one of the sanctified days marked by the State of Israel, and It is a day that serves to unite the Israeli populace. However, in many ways, Diaspora Jewry is missing from the dialogue and from a general sense of belonging. This is despite their deep and sincere link to Israeli soldiers and their commitment to the state of Israel.

The international initiative, led by the World Union of Orthodox Synagogues in Israel and in the Diaspora, strives to connect Diaspora Jewry to this special day. The initiative began ten years ago at the instigation of Lieutenant Colonel Uri Shlomai, ob"m, who decided to establish several "field" stations that would operate simultaneously on Memorial Day for Fallen Soldiers. This was a parallel idea compared to soldiers standing, beside a flag, for an entire day, on Mount Herzl, in Jerusalem. The learning content includes: Mishna regimen, YIzkor prayer, Kel Malei Rachamim, selected Psalms, a prayer for the welfare of Israeli soldiers, the prayer for the sustenance of the State of Israel and more.

This year, the World Union of Synagogues, together with Ariel, son of Uri, will activate the project in a broad national and international fashion. For this purpose, pamphlets and films, in Hebrew, English, Spanish, Russian and French, have been produced for use by adults and families including children. Every Jew, from anywhere in the world, can access the site and take part in the learning. During the day, points on the globe will be lit, indicating the locales where learning is taking place on behalf of the souls of the fallen soldiers.


In addition, multiple stations will be spread out, providing citizens with the ability to participate in the simultaneous learning, during Memorial Day. Many of these stations will be active for twenty four hours, up to the advent of Independence Day. Each citizen will also have the opportunity to access the website and to study independently for the "uplifting" of the deceased' souls.

Mr. David Ben Naeh, Chairman of the World Organization of Orthodox Communities and Synagogues stated: "We see much importance in connecting World Jewry to the memory of the fallen Israeli soldiers. 'Around the clock' learning, on Memorial Day, signifies, more than anything else, this connection and deep bond, of every Jew, towards those who have sacrificed their lives on behalf of the nation in it's land."

Can you imagine being told you can't expose your face or enter a mosque, just because you're a woman?

Viral Video ROCKS the Rabbinic establishment and shocks Israel - Anastasia - Pod for Israel

I guess the real shock is that Missionaries pretentiously misrepresenting as "One for Israel", don't have the brains to understand why so many are leaving the church, and why Israelis keep laughing at them preaching about Rabbis, who can really do anything against what their Jewish mothers say...
