Today, August 29, is my English birthday.
My Hebrew birthday is on the 13th of Elul - September 16.
August 30 is my 40th Aliyah anniversary.
On August 30, 1984, I made aliyah from Brooklyn to Israel.
It was the best decision of my life. I highly recommend it!
You can view my aliyah anniversary video at:
https://jr.co.il/aliyah/aliyah-anniversary.htm
The page also includes a humorous and meaningful video,
by Rabbi Dovid Orlofsky, relating to why one should consider moving to Israel.
Worth watching!
This week, I added a new Hebrew song page: "Giborey Al" - Superheros
https://jr.co.il/giborey-al.htm
Over the past week, several aliyah group flights landed in Israel.
Welcome Home to the new olim!
You can view photos of the olim at:

Enjoy the photos.
Please share. Thank you!
May the aliyah from all over the world grow and
bring more Jews back to their homeland, Eretz Yisrael.
Please continue to pray for and support Israel.

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.
Please share. Thank you!
Please continue to pray for and support Israel.
