This year it falls on Tuesday, April 20th and is celebrated either publicly or within the family circle. The ceremonies begin eight days earlier with Holocaust Memorial Day. One week later, we commemorate Israel's fallen soldiers and terror victims on Memorial Day. As the sun sets, the national flag is raised from half-mast, the music begins to play, and the festivities begin in honor of Israel's 62nd anniversary. Read Article 2) Posted Jan 06 2010 Punish Us All By Dov Gilor Every time a Muslim terrorist commits an atrocity, the insane reaction of our liberal societies is to punish everyone collectively. Several years ago, a terrorist tried to detonate an explosive hidden in his shoe. As a result, every airline passenger is now required to remove his shoes and pass them through an x-ray device. It is common in airports to see long lines of passengers walking barefoot or in their stocking feet, queued up and waiting to have their shoes checked. Instead of forcing all Muslims to fly barefoot, every single passenger is inconvenienced to avoid racial profiling. Read Article 3) Posted Dec 23 2009 A Political Comeback Attempt By Dov Gilor When Israeli Defense Minister Ehud Barak attempted to break the link between the Har Bracha Hesder Yeshiva and the IDF (Israel Defense Forces), few of us were surprised. Ehud Barak is the head of the Labor Party who seems to be using this anti-religious "weapon" in order to make a political comeback for his failing leftist party. His anti-religious position is well known, and his attempt to discredit Rabbi Eliezer Melamed and the Hesder Yeshiva movement is not unexpected. In the past, other politicians have used their opposition to religion to improve their political status, and Barak knows that he and his party are falling apart. Read Article 4) Posted Dec 09 2009 Another Capitulation By Dov Gilor We have now lived in Israel for more years than we lived in the USA, and our joy in living in Israel knows no bounds. We are living in our homeland with our people. We loved America and are proud to be American citizens, but Israel is our home. We strive each day to keep our focus on the wonderful things that life in Israel offers. We are happy that Israel and the USA are allies and help each other. Unfortunately, we are often upset and concerned by the political situation and by the attitude of the world to the Jews. Read Article 5) Posted Apr 29 2009 Commemorate And Celebrate By Dov Gilor Pesach, the holiday of freedom, is over but in Israel we have several other holidays of freedom immediately following Pesach. Unlike the rest of the world, Israel takes Holocaust Memorial Day very seriously. Not only is there an official, government-sponsored ceremony at the Kotel in Jerusalem, but many large and small communities also commemorate the day. We remember the six million who were murdered and gratefully acknowledge that we are alive and free, despite the terrible attempts by many nations to eradicate us. Read Article 6) Posted Mar 25 2009 Free Gilad Shalit By Dov Gilor More than 1,000 days have passed since the unprovoked abduction of a Gilad Shalit, a young Israeli soldier, by the Hamas terrorist government of Gaza. Unlike the Arab terrorists being held in a "country club" atmosphere of the Israeli jail system, with TV, library facilities, exercise rooms and other amenities, Gilad is being held in primitive conditions. He is not even allowed to meet with Red Cross representatives. Read Article 7) Posted Mar 04 2009 He Is Still Prime Minister By Dov Gilor The Israeli elections are over. New Knesset members have been sworn in. Ehud Olmert resigned several weeks ago, and his party will not form the new government. Despite all this, Ehud Olmert is still the Prime Minister of Israel! Read Article 8) Posted Feb 11 2009 Only Thirty -Three Political Parties By Dov Gilor In America elections usually involve two major parties and two or three minor parties. Read Article 9) Posted Dec 31 2008 One United Religious Party By Dov Gilor That was what we were promised - "one united religious political party." It did not last too long. Read Article 10) Posted Dec 17 2008 Whoops, Missed! By Dov Gilor Tony Blair, the Middle East envoy for the Four Great Powers, told an interviewer that PM Olmert has already made a deal with Mahmoud Abbas, chairman of the Palestinian Arab Authority. Read Article 11) Posted Dec 10 2008 Voted Out By Dov Gilor Last week, I raised my hand holding my little red voting card and voted myself out of office. Read Article 12) Posted Nov 19 2008 Why Should I Suffer? By Dov Gilor There is a great scene in "Fiddler On The Roof" where a donor gives a beggar one kopek. "Why only one kopek?" asks the beggar. "I had a bad week," replies the donor. "If you had a bad week," responds the beggar, "why should I have to suffer?" Read Article 13) Posted Oct 22 2008 Where Are We Today? By Dov Gilor Many Americans may wonder how it is possible for Ehud Olmert to still be prime minister of Israel after having resigned on September 21. Read Article 14) Posted Jul 23 2008 A Great Victory For The Arabs By Dov Gilor Two Israeli soldiers have been returned from captivity - dead! Read Article 15) Posted Jun 18 2008 Status Normal By Dov Gilor Have you noticed that some problems just won't go away? Read Article 16) Posted May 14 2008 Pray For Us By Dov Gilor Having recently celebrated Israel Independence Day, I wonder why so many Jews refuse to pray for the State of Israel and for our Jewish sons and daughters who serve in the Israel Defense Forces (IDF). Read Article 17) Posted Mar 05 2008 Do You Understand? By Dov Gilor Do you understand the daily rocket attacks against Sderot, Israel? Read Article 18) Posted Jan 09 2008 Enemies From Within By Dov Gilor When things get bad, I must remember that thousands of people in Israel are doing wonderful mitzvot daily, and we cannot become discouraged. Read Article 19) Posted Dec 12 2007 Where Are Our Brave Maccabees? By Dov Gilor In recent weeks, there has not been much good news from Israel. Many of us had expected Prime Minister Ehud Olmert to resign due to the police investigations against him, but he has brazened them out. Read Article 20) Posted Sep 19 2007 Too Close To Home By Dov Gilor Let me begin by wishing all of my readers a very happy and healthy new year. This past year was filled with many wonderful joys and several sorrows, but we thank Hashem for another year of life.
