On the other hand

“Sorry, your electrician, plumber and computer technician are not available because they are on milium (IDF reserve duty)”.

One of the unique aspects to life in Israel is a requirement for those who have completed their military service to be recalled for reserve duty. That means at a given time when you need their services, they may very well be unavailable.

At this time, in particular, large numbers of men and women have been recalled to the IDF, which means that their lives are disrupted, their businesses are in limbo, and their families are apart.

This is the price Israelis have to pay for defending the country from those whose evil intent manifests itself every day of the year.

OPERATION HUG

 In what must be a world first, hundreds of flights have been organised for parents of lone soldiers serving in combat positions to come to Israel and meet up with their children.

It is a uniquely Jewish expression of solidarity and love that exemplifies the age-old bonds that tie Jews together no matter where they reside.

THE REAL SPIRIT OF ISRAEL

 Some 7,000 Netanya children came to the city stadium to demonstrate unity and solidarity and express their desire to see the return of the hostages kidnapped by Hamas terrorists. See other videos of adults and children displaying that Israelis will never surrender to those who hate us.

This is the powerful message that Jewish history teaches all of us.
