Isareli Flag - Israel - Promised Land - The Magen David (shield of David, or as it is more commonly known, the Star of David) is the symbol most commonly associated with Judaism today, but it is actually a relatively new Jewish symbol. It is supposed to represent the shape of King David's shield (or perhaps the emblem on it), but there is really no support for that claim in any early rabbinic literature. In fact, the symbol is so rare in early Jewish literature and artwork that art dealers suspect forgery if they find the symbol in early works.

Dear Friends,

I am writing to you and my friends in the USA while the bombs are falling and our reserves are moving north by the thousands. We, thank G-d are unharmed, but around us and north of us there is tremendous destruction and uncertainty. Families are in bomb shelters most of the day and everything has come to a stop. I am sure your tfilot and tehillim and thoughts are directed to the people of Israel.

I am sending you the address of a fund which is supplying hot meals for the families throughout the north (especially Tsafat) and toys and games for the kids. Any contribution will be greatly appreciated. Please pass this request on to your friends, kehilla, etc.

Letters from Israel

Friends,
I would like to share with you some correspondence from a friend up in the Golan. He expresses what I am hearing from other friends of mine in Haifa and in Tzfat. Our Israeli friends and family want to know that we are with them at this perilous time. If any of you would like to express your feelings of support and comfort, please comment or email me and I might post your letter. Here is their address:

Israel on and off the beaten path

To all of my friends,

This is a very difficult time for Israel. Our soldiers have been kidnapped by Arab terrorists. Our cities and villages are being bombarded and civilians and soldiers have been killed, on the battlefields and at home. We hear the explosions of our tanks and cannon retaliating and at the same time we hear the wail of air raid sirens and warning blasts.

The people of Israel are very strong and very brave. With hashem's help we will persevere until the enemy has been destroyed and security and peace return to our land.
Please pray for the people of Israel, for our soldiers, for our wounded.
When this war passes over we will rebuild the damaged places and we will have a renewed faith in our eternity, our courage and our belief in hashem.

Please write, your words give us comfort.

Yehuda

Countless Jewish children ask, "Why Be Jewish"? Can anyone give them an answer? In this book, Rabbi Kahane blasts the non-Orthodox streams of American Judaism for the spiritual holocaust they brought upon American Jewry, and presents his solution to the widespread assimilation among American Jews.
Rabbi Meir Kahane
