Yom HaAtzmaut is approaching!


Yom HaAtzmaut is approaching -- Israel's 59th Birthday!

Are you ready?

Are you partying?

Are you saying Halell?
(The Holy Hyrax will tell you why you must!)

Are you planning Aliya?

WHY NOT?

Stop worrying about the JIBs,
and celebrate the revival
of the Jewish people
in their Homeland!

This has been a public service announcement, brought to you by Jameel at the Muqata...and the Holy Hyrax.

  1. Looking candidly at Israel's foreign policy today, which aspects could one point to as evidence of Atzmaut?

    I would not ask this question about governance in genral, since the typical official believes in his/her personal Atzmaut with great enthusiasm.

  2. >Looking candidly at Israel's foreign policy today, which aspects could one point to as evidence of Atzmaut?

    Which foreign policy are you talking about? And please then elaborate on what it has to do with atzmaut.

    I was thinking about writting my opinion on why one should say Hallel on Yom Haatzmaut. We shall see. Maybe Jameel will outbid you for me posting it :P

  3. Let's try again.

    Is independence shown by following a self-destructive path on orders from larger countries?

  4. I fail to see how Israel is self-destructive, even though I may not like their current government.

  5. Ram: The State is a gift from Hashem...an opportunity, just as Yehuda VShomron were given to us on a silver platter.

    The fact that misguided and corrupt politicians have been abusing this gift, we still must thank Hashem for the opportunity.

    The Chashmonaim killed out many rabbanim, but we still celebrate Chanuka...
