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.

Free online: Sermons The Year 'Round by Rabbi Bernard L. Berzon

 

Hi Everyone!

I grew up in Brooklyn, New York. 

During my high school years and college years (72-80) 

I lived at home and attended the shul Ahavath Israel 

on East 29 and Avenue K in Brooklyn.

The sermons that Rabbi Berzon z"l gave where very good. 

He would talk to you as opposed to above you. His love 

for Israel and the Jewish people was very evident in 

the words he spoke.

Over 45 years ago, Rabbi Berzon gave my father z"l 

a copy of his book. Even though times have changed, 

since the book was published 46 years ago, the messages, 

anecdotes, and stories are still very enjoyable. 

I felt that many people that otherwise would not have 

access to this book may benefit by having access to it 

on the Internet. I contacted Jonathan David Publishers 

and they gave me permission to scan, format and post it 

on the Internet.
