One problem

Yasher Koach on a great video. With all the facts that are cited in this video, one of them is not correct. There are currently more than 50% of the world's Jews living in Israel. I know, I know, the Jewish Population Survey in North America says otherwise. But that survey includes the non-Jewish children of intermarried couples. Eliminate those from the calculation, and the Jews living in Israel already make up more than half the world's Jews.

Hello,

Lives

Judaism is not a proselyting religion. The command to be a "light unto nations" is based on personal example only. Israel's restraint in the face of great provocation, her generosity to her enemies and her open hand to the misfortunate are all examples of godliness.

It is a scary time

The Diaspora Ministry just came out with a report that in 25 years this is the highest in hate crimes against Jews, 70% directed at anti-Israel sentiment.

As Jews we to have 100% Emunah, faith, in HaShem.
