Another U.N. crock: Targeting Israel, coddling terrorists
Once again displaying its virulent, morally bankrupt anti-Israel bias, the United Nations General Assembly — at the behest of no less a paragon of rectitude than Syria's embattled Assad regime — has ordered the Jewish state to pay $1.1 million in “damages” for defending itself in 1996 from Hezbollah terrorists near the village of Qana in southern Lebanon. …

A Message from Jerusalem – The 9th of Av
This comes from our friend Ari Abramowitz from TheLandofIsrael.com:
Today, Jews around the world are preparing to fast and mourn the destruction of our Holy Temples in Jerusalem.
The seeds of this tragic day were planted upon the return of the spies bearing an evil report, full of fear and doubt, about the Land of Israel.(Numbers Ch.13)
Together, may we succeed in our mission of sharing the truth and beauty of the Land of Israel with the faith and courage of Joshua and Caleb.
May we grasp hands in in brotherhood and friendship and merit to be a part of the ingathering of the exiles and the rebuilding of the Temple.
"For my house will be a house of prayer for all nations" (Isaiah 56:7)
Allow us to see the events of our times with the hope and faith as our holy sage Rabbi Akiva. When a group of scholars saw a fox scampering in the ruins of the Temple, they wept at the shame of what had become of the glory of Israel.
Rabbi Akiva, however, astounded his companions by laughing.
He understood that, just as the prophecies of destruction had come to pass, the prophecies of redemption, rebuilding, and renewal will also be fulfilled.
With love from Jerusalem,
Ari

Israel advocacy or Zionist education?
By JEREMY GIMPEL
WHAT THEN, is the difference between being pro-Israel and a Zionist? .... it’s the difference between being a fan and being a player.
Someone who is “pro-Israel” loves Israel the way that I like the Atlanta Falcons. I love my team, I follow their latest news and developments and I don’t want anyone ridiculing them. If they do, I’ll stand up for my team, for their honor and mine. In contrast, a Zionist isn’t on the sidelines rooting for his team to win – he’s running the ball down the field. A Zionist sees himself as a player in the game. A Zionist sees himself as an active character in the story of the Jewish people.
In my years of speaking on behalf of Israel, filmmaking and teaching, I’ve found that the most profound message that resonates is recognizing our lives in Israel as another chapter in the 4,000-year old story of our people. We must continuously draw the lines from Abraham to Moses and Joshua to King David in biblical times to the Maccabees and Bar- Kochba and now, in post-biblical times, to the IDF. We are simply the next chapter in the greatest human story ever told. Our goal must not only be to advocate for Israel, but to tell the story of our people. The story of our kingdom destroyed, our bitter exile and our ultimate liberation. It is the story of the undying hope of a people for 2,000 years; a dream to live as a free people and return to our homeland. That is the story the world must hear again and again.

This is very moving
The following is from FOX Sports. I found it very moving and wanted to share it with you:

BOSTON BRUINS RETURN
Rene Rancourt, the Boston Bruins’ iconic anthem singer, delivered perhaps the most memorable performance of his career Wednesday night. It lasted about 15 seconds.
On this night, of all nights, the song and its message did not belong to one man.
