Hi Everyone!
Tonight, I watched a video that was very inspirational.
The video also made me aware of details, that I did not know,
about the amazing events that took place over the past 2 years.
Rabbi Uri Pilichowski - Modern Miracles of Chanukah:
Seeing Hashem in Today's Headlines
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=900AoAyC9-0
37 minutes and it is worth watching the whole video.
Please share. Thank You!
Please continue to pray for and support Israel.
https://jr.co.il/prayers/
May the wounded have a complete and speedy recovery.
May God protect the IDF, the police, the security forces
and all of Am Yisrael.
Have a good night,
Jacob

Nvidia record-breaking Israeli campus, new IDF band video, Chanukah AI animations
Hi Everyone!
I thought that these three announcements
justified another mailing this week.
Huang declares Israel Nvidia's "second home" with
record-breaking campus investment.
The 90-dunam mega-campus in Kiryat Tivon is set to
house more than 10,000 employees.
