For more than 60 years Jews are living in Israel under a Jewish Government. They fought 6-7 wars and are under constant threat of terror attacks.

Finally after almost 2000 years of exile and constant prayer and yearning to return to Jerusalem, it happened. Jews are in Israel and they are running their own affairs under a Jewish government.

The Marines stood solemnly in a small auditorium at Al Asad Air Base in Iraq. Rows of hardened faces stared ahead as the national anthem played and a slide show flashed images of happier times - and lives cut short.

“For those that have lost a loved one, Dear L-rd, please be everything that they can no longer be,” said the chaplain.

At that moment, two years ago, the war stopped for these Marines. It was for a rare chance to grieve. But it was just a moment. The Marines wiped their tears, got up and went back to work.

Votes Everyone Agrees On!

CROWN HEIGHTS [CHI] — Lubavicher Yeshiva students showed off their talent this evening in a spectacular exhibition on “what can I do to bring Moshiach now?”

Tens of students drew posters, built projects, created slideshows and even performed live shows all on this theme. The EXPO is part of a 6 week long campaign on “what can I do to bring Moshiach now?” in which students need to collect coupons on this same theme. The coupons, or at least some of them, have letters of a special message that the students need to put together, other coupons have surprises such as free drinks and Ices.
