Family Day in Israel
Family Day in Israel
In 1951 an 11-year-old Israeli girl named Nechama Frankel wrote a letter to a newspaper. She proposed that Israel establish a special day for mothers. As refugees from Poland, her family was used to honoring mothers and celebrating Mother’s Day as an important occasion. Nechama suggested that Mother’s Day be celebrated on the birthday of Henrietta Szold. Szold was an Israeli heroine. She founded the organization called Youth Aliyah. This organization rescued over 30,000 children from the Nazis. Sadly Henrietta had no children of her own. However, she spent her life championing children’s rights and was considered by many the mother of all the children her organization rescued.
My Hebrew Name
My Hebrew Name
Names play an important role in our personal identity. Your name connects you to your family and to your life. Names have a significant role in the Jewish religion. For this reason, Jews who live outside of Israel are usually given two sets of names: a secular name and a religious name. The secular name is used in all non-religious aspects of life and reflects the culture and language of the person. The religious name is a Hebrew name by which he or she is known to G-d. This name is very precious
The Dark and Lightness of Hanukkah
The Dark and Lightness of Hanukkah
During Hanukkah, it is customary to give the children “Maot” which is Hebrew for coins or little money so they’d be encouraged to donate some for a good cause and learn to appreciate the value of money. Coins have two sides and so does our story of Hanukkah. It literally has a light side and a dark side and we are going to discover both
Yom Kippur - My own personal Triumph
Yom Kippur - My own personal Triumph
I admit it. I‘ve got it too. We live in a digital era. With every new upgrade of your mobile and shrinking of an I-pad, you are expected to become more and more available to, well, everyone. That is why there is no wonder it is very hard to find a single moment of complete peace and silence – a true moment of coming into oneself, gazing within and talking to G-d quietly. I am grateful for Yom Kippur because I get the break I need from my fast-paced life to find the words, my own private words and call G-d
Rosh haShana - To a Fruitful Year!
Rosh haShana - To a Fruitful Year!
Rosh Hashanah is the appropriately designated Hebrew name of the first of Jewish holidays. It literally translates to”Head of the year”. Rosh HaShanah is celebrated in the first two days of the Hebrew month of Tishrei. This holiday carries with it a spectrum of significance in the spirit of new beginnings. It is believed that Rosh Hashanah marks the beginning of a period where the important books of the heavens are opened for review and all people are examined closely. The fate of everyone is carefully considered by the one and only G-d based on their deeds and merits.

Tu b'Av - Israel Unite
Tu b'Av - Israel Unite
Tu B’Av is an ancient celebration of love which helps us move from a period of mourning to thinking about new beginnings. Albeit the little attention it receives in comparison to other Jewish holidays such as Rosh Ha’Shana, Purim or Passover; Tu B’Av is perceived as THE most joyous day of the Jewish calendar.
Tisha b'Av -Rising from the Ruins
Tisha b'Av -Rising from the Ruins
Av means "Father" in Hebrew and Tisha B‘Av is calling for deep examination of our relationship with our Father in Heaven and connects us to strong feelings of yearning that He may descend and find His home re-built on Earth. Tisha B‘Av is not about saddness without hope. It holds a promise of reunification with the Lord and rebuilding of the Third Temple in Jerusalem.

Shavuot is celebrated by Dancing and singing followed by a parade of agricultural products and equipment, such as tractors and wagons used to bring in the harvest.
You're Invited to Plant a Tree in the Holy Land!
You're Invited to Plant a Tree in the Holy Land!
The idea that we have a responsibility to the G-d’s Earth is not a new one. This message was expressed thousands of years ago in ancient Israel. This concept has come to be celebrated every year in January or February during a holiday called Tu b’Shevat – the New Year for trees.
Holy Land and Natural Threats (following Hurricane Sandy)
Holy Land and Natural Threats (following Hurricane Sandy)
Hurricane Sandy is no longer a threat but it got me thinking. Can a hurricane of such a scale hit the Holy Land? What would happen if it did? When such a storm hit coasts of a huge continent such as America to wreak its havoc, you cannot help but think about what you cherish and what people may have lost during the storm. What are some of the environmental threats Israel has to contend with?

Summer in Israel
What has not been said about summer in Israel? We know that it can be overwhelmingly hot. We know most people choose to stay indoors while secretly hoping that it would be over. But what is summer in Israel a manifestation of? How does it influence our behavior?
