On the other hand
The Hebrew month of Tishrei has concluded and that means students are back full time at schools and universities.
It also heralds a switch to standard time with shorter days and longer hours of darkness. Temperatures are slowly dropping although they are still pleasantly mild compared to other northern hemisphere countries.
SOLIDARITY PILGRIMAGE
Despite the ongoing war against terrorists the Festival of Sukkot witnessed a large number of Christian pilgrims from all over the world visiting Israel and taking part in the annual gathering of solidarity.
ONLY IN ISRAEL
A unique way to honour the memory of a fallen IDF soldier.
ANOTHER HISTORICAL DISCOVERY
A five thousand-year-old settlement has been discovered in excavations near Bet Shemesh.
No doubt the UN will declare this to be “occupied territory.”
IDF IS UNIQUE
The IDF is not just a potent fighting force but also a place where individuals with special needs can find their place and be integrated into society.
No other army in the world is able to do this which once again demonstrates the uniqueness of the Jewish nation.
