If you walk past what looks like a Christmas tree on the eve of December 31 here in Israel, chances are that it’s not a forlorn yuletide decoration. Instead, it’s more likely to be a yolka, the fir (or plastic) tree that’s an inherent part of celebrating Novy God, the Russian phrase for “New Year.” “The first thing I remember from Israel is my first day at an Israeli kindergarten,” recalls Alex Rif, the activist who launched the campaign.

The Jewish Virtual Library states that 600,000 Jews were residing in Israel in May 1948. During that year, some 110,000 additional Jews arrived, bringing the total population to between 800,000 and 850,000. By th

“ Keep silence before me, O islands; and let the people renew their strength: let them come near; then let them speak: let us come near together to judgment ” (Isaiah 41:1). When reading reports by the international media about Israel, much confusion is evident. Whether the sources originate in Australia, Asia, Africa, America, or Europe, there is overwhelming evidence that slowly but surely, the nations are no longer in favor of Israel’s defensive action, particularly relati

“ Every place that the sole of your foot shall tread upon, that have I given unto you, as I said unto Moses. From the wilderness and this Lebanon even unto the great river, the river Euphrates, all the land of the Hittites, and unto the great sea toward the going down of the sun, shall be your coast ” (Joshua 1:3-4). The borders of the Promised Land are defined in the above Scripture. That, in brief, is the crux of the conflict in the Middle East between the Jews and the Arab

“Keep not thou silence, O God: hold not thy peace, and be not still, O God” (Psalm 83:1). This prayer of Asaph is profoundly applicable for our days. The Psalmist implores God to act visibly, tangibly, and mightily. Verses 2-3 read: “For, lo, thine enemies make a tumult: and they that hate thee have lifted up the head. They have taken crafty counsel against thy people, and consulted against thy hidden ones.” It is significant that the appeal includes “thy hidden ones.” Who ar

“ I have seen his ways, and will heal him: I will lead him also, and restore comforts unto him and to his mourners ” (Isaiah 57:18). The Almighty, “the high and lofty One that inhabiteth eternity, whose name is Holy” (verse 15), reveals His intention with the words “I will.” If it weren’t for the promises repeatedly documented in Holy Scripture, then Israel indeed would have no hope. Actually, Israel would have been erased long ago. Their destiny was settled. Haman, the enemy

At the end of the 19th century, nationalism was on the rise in various parts of the world. As a result, many people groups began to desire their own state and international recognition. This also helped spur the Zionist movement, which encouraged Jewish people to return to Israel.  This historical process culminated in the period between the two World Wars. After World War I, the League of Nations divided the Middle East into two mandates (Article 22), which were administered
