A Cold Wind Blows
It is cold here this Sukkot in Jerusalem.
Events remembering Israel\’s fallen soldiers, on May 6, and celebrating the nation\’s founding, officially May 7, include two local benefits to address gaping needs of Israelis.
The news from Israel these days takes me back to 165 BCE. We all know the story: The Maccabees, a small band of Jewish rebels, fight the mighty Syrians who rule the land and have desecrated the Temple.
