Thank you PM Harper! He was the first Western leader to cut aid to the Palestinian Authority following Hamas’ 2006 seizure of power in Gaza and the first to withdraw from the second U.N. World Conference Against Racism, known as Durban II, saying the event would “scapegoat the Jewish people.

This is a beautiful and spiritual havdala ceremony. The ceremony Shabbat Observant Jews do at the end of Shabbat to differentiate the holiest day of the week from the other 6 days of work.
|
MUST SEE! This is scary stuff that you must be familiar with. The seeds of the Palestinian Arab movement is connected to the Nazis.
|
It is very simple to see and understand why it is IMPOSSIBLE for Israel to even think about giving away security of the Jordan Valley to anyone but the IDF!
|
International law is on Israel's side. Watch the video to understand why!
This must be one of the best video presentations that very clearly explains international law and the legal case for Israel and for Israel's presence in Judea and Samaria. Definitely watch this to have a better understanding of international law so you can talk about Israel's situation intelligently with others.

WE ARE FRIENDS WITH THIS MAN ON FACEBOOK AND HE JUST POSTED THAT HE RECEIVED A DEATH THREAT FROM THE JORDANIAN SECRET SERVICE!!!
More truth serem for people to internalize: Jordan is the real Palestinian State and the Hashemite tribe (a tiny minority ruling a majority of Palestinian Arabs) are true occupiers - brought from Saudi Arabia to rule Jordan by the British as a thank you for their alliance in World War I. Read this very inlightening facebook post from a Palestinian Arab in Jordan Mudar Zahran (https://www.facebook.com/mudarz): "My aunt live in Judea and Samaria, at 72, she is losing her sight, she will be admitted to an Israeli hospital for treatment, all paid for by the evil Jews, let them pay those Jewish bastards, at least in compensation for their apartheid policies, meanwhile we will respect the King of Jordan for banning 1000 Palestinian refugees from Syria from receiving any sort of aid, even that provided by the UN....long live Arab humanity, down with evil Jews!"

As the Rabbinic Director of United with Israel, I am honored to share beautiful Torah messages from Israel with you each week. For three years now, our weekly 'Living Torah' articles have reached so many people around the world and the feedback has been amazing!
We recently added a new weekly Living Torah feature that takes a current Israeli news topic and explains the Torah point of view. Again, the feedback has been very positive and this inspires me to keep on sending you more...
Today I am writing to tell you about a very important campaign to plant fruit trees. Besides being a wonderful mitzvah (good deed) - to beautify the Land of Israel and make it fruitful - it's even more pressing to do so right now.
I can explain:
- In December, parts of Israel were hit with a massive blizzard. As beautiful and majestic as the snow was, over 10,000 trees were lost by severe icing conditions. We believe that those trees must be replaced...
- We are approaching the Shemittah (Sabbatical) year, starting this September. As God commands us in the Torah, we cannot work the Land for an entire year. That means no fruit trees will be planted for a very long time!
- In Israel, we just finished celebrating Tu B'Shvat - the New Year for Trees. Now is the ideal time to start planting fruit trees all across the Land!
Please click below to learn about our Fruit Tree Planting project
http://unitedwithisrael.org/plant-fruit-trees/
On behalf of the People of Israel, I ask you to participate in this very special project. Our goal is to plant 10,000 trees before the Sabbatical year begins. We warmly welcome individuals and organizations that choose to plant entire orchards of trees - a wonderful idea!
This is a special opportunity to contribute to the physical and spiritual beauty of our Land. At a time when it is needed most...
You can help us reach our goal and have a share in a great 'Mitzvah'!
Dedications can be made in honor or memory of loved ones. Everyone will receive authentic tree certificates directly from Israel. Planting fruit trees in Israel is fully tax deductible in the USA.
Click below to watch a great video and learn more about the project. You'll be inspired to get your fruit trees planted today!

PS - Please forward this email to family, friends and leaders of your community. It would be wonderful to have your favorite organization or congregation participate by planting there very own orchard.
