tal] NOUN: Dew​

Tal טל, ’dew,’ is a common biblical symbol of God’s bountiful blessings. Rain is another sign of God’s love for mankind. What is the difference between rain and dew? According to Jewish mysticism, rain is a sign of God showering His abundant blessings freely from above. Dew, which forms below from condensation of atmospheric water vapor, is related to the divine blessings which are a result of man’s own efforts and achievements. This psalm teaches that God’s blessing from above allows for the flowering of man’s work below​

It is rare that a journalist garnishes respect from both sides of the political divide. But such is the case with Zvi Yehezkeli. Aside from once being voted among Israel’s most handsome men, he is our most famous Arabist: a non-Arab who is an expert in Arab affairs.

A son of parents who fled Iraq and thus with a background of spoken Arabic, Yehezkeli enlisted into the Shin Bet and worked for them in security details all over the world. While he was abroad, he became interested in Islam. He was especially fascinated with terrorist Yasser Arafat due to the fact that the mass murderer shook hands with the late Prime Minister, Itzhak Rabin, at the Oslo Accords.

^ Back in 2012, Yehezkeli created his most famous and daring reports in a series about ISIS, the Muslim Brotherhood and the growth of Islam in Europe. He visited Holland, Sweden, France, Belgium, England and the United States. Dressed as a Muslim, Yehezkeli went undercover and with an open mind. He reported on the worldview of the people he interviewed, letting them speak for themselves. It revealed a threatening reality.

While a few foreign liberals charged him with racism (to which Yehezkeli retorted that he only asked the questions), Israelis were gripped. His programs hit home. They were personal because Israel had longed begged the world to call out Palestinian Islamic terrorism, yet Israel had always been exclusively blamed. And now, here was this Israeli Jew, strutting down the streets of Europe calling out Islamic terrorism.

Through his programs we were all hoping the world would wake up and see Palestinian terrorism is no different to the Islamic terrorism that plagued cities in Europe.
