Time to remember our freedom and our country

I think it's very sad to see even at the time when our country is struggling, we still cannot find everything in all kosher shops, which would be made in Israel (eg: matzah from ukraine - the place of anti-semites, the swiss chocolate - the country that was very quiet during the war, who cares how many Jews died...) I think it's time to be free, to pay ourselves, to buy products made in Israel. It would be our freedom, it would be our belonging, and hopefully someone wouldn't need our help - industry would have enough jobs for people to earn money, not ask for help.
Lets be free....

'Tis true!

Yes! Why do we get so looped and lost in the details, when the essence, the true fragrance, is what's most important! I LOVE YOUR MESSAGE!!! My heart greets it as well! Thank you!!

Simple message, great results

We need to go back to basics. The enormous amounts of information has flodded our minds and hearts leaving no room for the simple things that God had provided for His Creation, us.
