Day 55 - Token

So when it comes to work, I'm one of two people that wear a Kippah (Jewish skullcap) at all times.

This means that I have become the token guy to take the kippa off when they one's who don't wear kippot want to say a Bracha!..

This is a cute little snap when my boss, after finishing to eat dinner felt like benching (grace after meals) and borrowed my kippah..As I couldn't walk away, the next best thing was to take a picture! =)

Day 55 - Thursday 8 July 2010

It makes me happy to know that I can be of this service - like Rav Kook says, in every Jew there is the pitzkele Yid (the little Jew) who always craves the return to the religious center..Most Non-religious Israelis have this base and knowledge about religious matters so to be able to help out here and there always makes me proud..

Day 24 - Support

Day 24 - Monday 7 June 2010

In light of the bad wrap Israel has been getting in the general media as of late, seeing this reminds me of the hope we all share in our country..

Yes we are being challenged by our enemies for defending ourselves and doing what is right to save our soldiers, and here is how it trickles down to even the youngest members of society to stand up and support them.

You know you are in Israel and part of the nation, when people can just put up a sign like this at the main intersection of a main shopping strip for all to see.

The poster proudly reads: "Tzahal (IDF) we are with you" and it was made by the children of Shevet Nitzanim (which I'm pretty sure are grade 5's - correct me if I'm wrong) of the Bnei Akiva Snif in Baqa.

Seeing this sign made me proud to be a Jew, and even more so, proud to be an Israeli, who can all walk around with our heads held high.
