Israel Today - The Death of Modern Zionism

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.

So what happens when the Israeli government with the Jewish army withdraws from land under their jurisdiction, and they expel thousands of Jews from their homes with nowhere to go to?

Sounds familiar? It happened in Spain! It happened in Portugal! It happened in England! It happened in Iraq! It almost happened in the United States! And it happened in dozens of countries all over the world over the last two millennia.

Then it finally happens in Israel in the 21st century. A Jewish army expels Jews from a Jewish city in Israel!

How could this happen?

Isn't Israel the fulfillment of our dreams to rid ourselves from being the forever wandering Jew, because there isn't a place in the world he can call home? Is this what happens when you finally come home, you get expelled once again?

Rabbi Simon Jacobson tries to grapple with this issue by declaring the death of modern (secular) Zionism.

Who are the real zionists, and who will keep Israel going as a Jewish country for years to come?

Jews From Arab Countries

Everybody is concerned about the plight of the Palestinian people. Peace process, roadmaps, united nations and Arab leagues. And even some bleeding heart Jews.

For over 60 years a group of Arabs have been held up in refugee camps in various Arab countries. Not allowed to settle down or to acquire citizenship in any Arab country.

At the same time, several million Jews from many Arab countries have been expelled from homes and land they lived in for over two thousand years. 

Penniless and homeless, most have been absorbed in Israel, and they rebuilt their lives in a new world.

What of the billions they left behind in their old country? What of the land and culture they were forced to leave behind? What of their rights? What of compensation for their land and funds robed and confiscated by their old host countries?

Dr. Heskel Haddad, an optolmologist in New York City, was expelled from Iraq in 1951, for the crime of being a Jew. Coming from a well to do family, he was forced to leave it all behind, with just the clothes he had on his back.

Haddad is now asking for his voice to be heard. "When talking about the Palestinians, what about my land and possessions I left behind in Iraq?" asks Haddad.

Listen to a fascinating story of exile and persecution, which has a happy ending, but leaves miriads of questions to the entire world community unanswered.

Why do the Jews have to provide for the Palestinians that which their Arab brothers refuse to grant them?

Jews and Israel have absorbed their penniless brothers from Arab countries who were expelled and robed by the Arab world. Why don't the Arabs have to return that theft?

Who speaks on behalf of the Jews (expelled) from Arab Countries?

Little Moishele Lights his fathers Menorah

Miracle boy, little Moishele Holtzberg, is seen here lighting the Chanukah Menorah with his maternal grandfather Rabbi Shimon Rosenberg. With his nanny the heroine of Mumbai, Sandra, looking on.

Although Moishele stopped crying out for EEMA an ABBA, he is still very weary of strangers. And is constantly reassured by the presence of his only familiar face, nanny Sandra. And when Moishele sees pictures of his martyred parents, he is overtly saddened at their sight.

This heart wrenching scene takes place in Afula Israel, where Sandra has moved to, in order to be with little Moishele whom she saved while risking her own life. She found him standing all bloodied up, right over the motionless bodies of both his parents. Who were butchered in the Chabad House in Mumbai India, three weeks ago.

This Menorah was rescued from the ruins of the Chabad House, and it belonged to Rabbi Gabi Holtzberg, Moishele's father. The grandfather Rabbi Shimon Rosenberg, Rivkah Holtzberg's father, asks Moishele to come and kindle the Menorah that his father used last year.

A scene that breaks your heart. But at the same time it reminds us of the miracle that unfolded in front of our eyes in the midst of this senseless massacre. The miraculous rescue of Moishele by a selfless Sandra, who showed us how high a person can rise to save another human being.

This is the message of Chanukah.
One small flask of oil.
One small lady Sandra.
With enough oil to burn one day.
With enough courage to risk her life for five minutes.
Lasted to burn for eight days.
Gave Moishele a lifetime to live.
And the light keeps burning for thousands of years since.
And Moishele will grow up to fill his fathers shoes for many years to come.

Remember, one little candle can dispel a room full of darkness. Light your Chanukah candles, add one candle each day, and ultimately darkness will be overrun, and the whole world will be illuminated with pure light initiated by a tiny flask of oil.

And when all the candles come together, they form this enormous flame that will consume the walls of this miserable bitter Golus, and will usher in the grand era of light and happiness with our righteous Moshiach NOW!
