The Beeper Files

Hi Everyone!

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!
I decided to add a new page to my site that may bring a smile to your face.

Educational Resources about Tisha B'Av

Shalom.

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.
https://jr.co.il/prayers/

May the wounded have a complete and speedy recovery.
May the hostages be freed now.
May God protect the IDF, the police, the security forces

48th Anniversary of Mivtsa Yonatan and Happy Birthday America

Hi Everyone!

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.
