I've Been Thinking:
Today is Israel’s 72nd birthday.
It behooves us to take a moment and consider just how miraculous it is that Israel exists today.
72 years ago, when Israel was declared, it was doubtful that the Jewish State would last even a week. With the announcement came a war by the Arab states surrounding Israel to annihilate the newly announced Jewish State.
We all know the result of that war. And 72 years later, remarkably, Israel continues to grow and help and influence not just Jews around the world, but the entire world.
Traditionally, on Independence Day, air-force jets fly over the center of the country including bases that are open to the public. Not today.
Today, because of Coronavirus, those jets flew over every hospital throughout the country. A schedule was published. Those patients who could leave their beds went outside to wave.
It is inspiring to watch the videos.
The 72nd birthday of Israel is inspiring. Yom Huledet Sameach. Happy Birthday Israel. May it be a year of health.
