Hi, Unfortunately, we’re sought of used to it. “The IDF has moved into…” The IDF is one of the best armies in the world. And probably the most humane army in the history of the world. But we need to remind ourselves of something very important. The “IDF” is made up of thousands of sweet […]

Hi, Hope you’re having a great day! We’ve seen that in Jewish tradition, Abraham personifies acts of kindness. And Isaac? He represents Divine service. Things like prayer. Introspection.
