Chanukah, the Jewish Festival of Lights, is observed for
eight days, beginning on the evening of the 25th day of
the Hebrew month of Kislev. This year Chanukah starts
Wednesday Evening, December 25, 2024.
Chanukah is a wonderful holiday of renewed dedication,
faith, hope and spiritual light. It's a holiday that says:
"Never lose hope." Chanukah commemorates the victory of a
small band of Maccabees over the pagan Syrian-Greeks who
ruled over Israel.
The Chanukah Page includes lesson sites in several languages,
videos, songs, Chanukah trivia quiz, English Hebrew vocabulary lists,
recipes, games, humor, photos, clipart, coloring pages and
a map of the sites of the Maccabees 166-161 BCE.
The address is:
https://jr.co.il/hotsites/chanukah.htm
The Chanukah Video Page has links to over 1,250 cool Chanukah videos:
https://jr.co.il/videos/chanukah-videos.htm

Many things are happening around us.
The news is a mixed bag. Many terrorists were wounded
in Lebanon in the past 24 hours but at the same time
4 IDF soldiers lost their lives fighting terrorists in Gaza.
May the IDF soldiers' memories be for a blessing.
I have been living in Israel for the past 40 years and I still can not
get used to the extreme ups and downs that can occur within 24 hours.
However, there are reasons from above for everything and we must
keep a positive outlook / have tikvah that Israel / Am Yisrael will win
the war against our enemies.
Whoever planned and excecuted the Beeper / Walkie Talkie / Communications
operation deserves a Kol Hakavod!

Tisha B'Av is the saddest day on the Jewish calendar because
of the incredible series of tragedies which occurred on that
date throughout Jewish History.
Tisha B'Av means "the ninth of the Hebrew month of Av".
Tisha B'Av primarily commemorates the destruction of the first
and second Temples, both of which were destroyed on the ninth
of Av - the first by the Babylonians in 586 B.C.E.; the second
by the Romans in 70 C.E.
Although this day is primarily meant to commemorate the
destruction of the Temple, it is appropriate to consider on
this day the many other tragedies of the Jewish people, many
of which occurred on this day, most notably the expulsion of
the Jews from Spain in 1492.
This year 5784 - 2024 we observe the fast day of Tisha B'Av
starting from Monday after nightfall, August 12,
until nightfall on Tuesday, August 13.
You can learn more about this Jewish fast day at:
https://jr.co.il/hotsites/tisha-b-av.htm
May we see the rebuilding of the Temple in our days and that
Tisha B'Av becomes a day of celebration.
If you are fasting:
Have a meaningful fast.

On June 27 1976, an Air France flight from Tel-Aviv to Paris via Athens
was hijacked and forced to land in Entebb e, Uganda.
The Jewish passengers were separated and held hostage in demand
to release many terrorists held in Israeli prisons.
After much debate, the Israeli government sent an elite commando unit
to raid the airfield and release the hostages. The commando unit,
aircraft crews and the rescued hostages landed in Israel on July 4, 1976.
Yonatan Netanyahu, the commander of the first aircraft's Sayeret Matkal rescue unit,
was shot and killed while helping hostages return to the aircraft.
"Operation Entebbe" was later named "Operation Yonatan" in honor
of Lieutenant Colonel Jonathan Netanyahu z"l.
I created a page with images, newspaper headlines, videos
and articles about the historic Israeli rescue.
https://jr.co.il/mivtsa-yonatan.htm
May the memory of Yoni Netanyahu be for a blessing,
In honor of the United States of America Independence Day,
I created a page with 14 unique videos and 10 cool USA maps.
