Israel and Our Forefathers

 

Wow, a friend sent this to me from FaceBook.

It shows that the Hebrew word for Israel is actually made up of the first letters of all the names of our forefathers and mothers:

Isaac - יצחק

Jacob - יעקב

Sarah - שרה

Rebecca - רבקה

Rachel - רחל

Abraham - אברהם

Leah - לאה

Like the Bible says, we are truly the "children of Israel" (ישראל)!  ;-)

Israel and Our Forefathers

I'm Still Alive!

600 Holocaust Survivors and their descendants sing "Chai" (Life) by Ofra Haza.

Hope is not yet lost.

I live. I live. I live. 

I cried my eyes out watching this. 

The Jewish people not only survived the Holocaust as most of the world sat by and watched the genocide of six million men, women, and children with a soulless indifference, but G-d has kept his promise and restored the Jewish people and returned them to the Holy Land and made it flourish again!
