"Celebrate Israel"
 
 
 
We are a miracle. From the ashes of the Holocaust, in a mere 61 years, we have established a vibrant and very special state.  A place of life, beauty, and extraordinary lovingkindness, along with whatever pain we endure.
 
In due course, I will return to the news.  But at sundown tonight we begin Yom Ha'atzmaut, Israeli Independence Day.  A celebration to be begun with prayers and thanksgiving, and to be followed by dancing in the streets, fireworks, and, tomorrow, "al ha aish" -- barbecue.
 
Here I share a couple of YouTube videos about Israel. 
 
"Cool Facts About Israel" (A year old, but no matter.)
 
 
"If I Forget Thee Oh! Jerusalem"
 
 
And from my website, pictures showing the stunning beauty of our land:
