Letter from an IDF Soldier and his commander

We stand in Jerusalem and consider the future. The Hezbollah, a front for the Iranian and Syrian governments, have declared that there offensive will not truly end until the “Zionist entity” is destroyed. The country knows there will be another war soon and this round we will most likely to be drafted to fight. If our phones do ring and we are summoned, we will not be afraid but grateful. Grateful for the opportunity to show our love for the Jews of the north and the south, of America and the world. Fighting for The Land of Israel, the homeland of the Jewish People, is the ultimate testament of love and is therefore the highest level of meaning and happiness we could ever desire

Israel Divided

The question that is dividing the Jewish people in Israel and around the world today is whether Israel is meant to be a vehicle of assimilation or a vehicle of separation and sanctification. The answer will not only determine the future of Israel but the future of the world as we know it.

Reflections from the Front Lines in Gaza

Q: Why were you called up to Gaza? Isn’t the war over?
Kimberly Phillips
SaltLake City, Utah

A: As we sit here in the scorching heat of Gaza, terrorized by the flies whose persistence and tenacity is nothing short of inspiring, we find ourselves asking this very question. At face value, it is clear that the war is far from over. If anything, the majority of Israeli’s recognize that while the battle in Southern Lebanon may have ended for now, the war with Hezbollah and the Muslim world is still to come. As to why we are here, the Arabs of Gaza are escalating their Jihad against Israel, and being that the army is still recoiling from the events of last month, they have decided to mobilize more soldiers to compensate.

Searching for meaning in the Holocaust

Q: What lesson should the Jewish People in the world learn from the Holocaust?
- Terri Price, Oklahoma City

Answer: Many well intentioned people attempt to categorize the Holocaust as the genocide of another oppressed minority and relegate the lesson to one of tolerance and mutual understanding. Museums, memorials, and foundations have all been dedicated to this concept of “tolerance” thereby blurring the fundamental differences between Anti-Semitism and other hatreds. The Holocaust was not just another genocide. There is no argument that our world is in dire need of more tolerance, however labeling the Holocaust as the mere product of bigotry is a manifestation of moral ambiguity and a lack of understanding of the essence of the Jewish Nation.
