May 14th, 1948 saw the re-establishment of the State of Israel. After almost 1900 years of dispersion of the Jewish people, this fact is a major landmark in the history of the world. It is also a sign of God as Biblical prophecies have been fulfilled; which in turn brings the return of our Lord Jesus Christ that much closer! We wish to alert everyone to these magnificent facts, while at the same time offer practical help to the Jewish people.

Blessing for the nations
By Rev. Willem Glashouwer
 The presence of the Jews among the nations of the world over the last 2000 years has been a blessing for these nations. Before Gentiles came to Christ, they were even without God, Paul says in Ephesians 2:11-12: “…Therefore, remember that formerly you who are Gentiles by birth and called "uncircumcised" by those who call themselves "the circumcision" (that done in the body by the hands of men)— remember that at that time you were separate from Christ, excluded from citizenship in Israel and foreigners to the covenants of the promise, without hope and without God in the world…” >>Read more... |

Sharansky: ‘Big Concern’ About Obama; Warns Iran of ‘Inevitable’ Attack
By Christopher Ruddy
 Newsmax Editor Christopher Ruddy has been visiting Israel this week and met with Natan Sharansky. The former Soviet dissident spent more than a decade in the communist Gulag. He emigrated to Israel after his release in 1986, became a Knesset member and served in four successive Israeli governments, including time as deputy prime minister. In 2006, he resigned from Israel’s Knesset, but he remains active in the country’s political discourse. He has just authored his latest book “Defending Identity: Its Indispensable Role in Protecting Democracy.”
Jerusalem — An Israeli businessman I met described Natan Sharansky as having an “inner strength.” Indeed he has. We might say in America he is a man of a quiet charisma. . >>Read more... |

A Father's Reality of War
By H. BenAvram
 I grew up a bit behind Israel; she was born in 1948 and I came along four years later. I was raised in a common American Jewish family in a Jewishy suburb. We weren't religious; we didn't attend synagogue regularly and we observed only the highest holidays. Israel was a place, but she didn't impact my life since I was comfortably Jewish in a Jewish world. Once I left my sheltered suburban community I began to learn that being Jewish was far from the norm, that there were groups of people who had never met a Jew, and even larger groups of armed people in the world who felt that they, not the Jews, were entitled to Israel. >>Read more...
New Zealand may elect Jewish PM
By Jackie Len
 It has fewer than 10,000 Jews, less than 0.2 percent of its four
million inhabitants. But New Zealand is set to elect its third Jewish
prime minister. Opposition National Party leader John Key, whose mother is an Austrian
Jew, is far ahead of the Labor incumbent, Helen Clark, in the polls.
An election may be called at any moment, but must be held by Novembers
15. Speaking to The Jerusalem Post this week, Key, who turns 47 on August
9, said he was "not a deeply religious person," but still saw himself
as part of the Jewish community, and had an interest in Israel because
of his heritage. >>Read more...

Move to Israel? Are you nuts?
By Tara Eliwatt
 I didn't always have it in my life plan to move to Israel. Neither did my husband. In fact, growing up as secular Jews, neither of us grew up with Israel in the forefront of our minds (or even in the back, for that matter). Israel was a nonentity. That is until eight years ago when we both (separately) spent a year studying in Jerusalem.
It was easy to live the student's life in the spiritual hot spot of the Jewish world. We were children, being coddled and taken care of as we delve deeper into our Jewish identities, learning Torah daily.
Dreaming of a spiritual life in Israel was inevitable. And then we got married and moved to New Jersey. >>Read more...
