Preparing for Pesach for your family and guests may be challenging but it is nothing compared to what the IDF faces.
According to an IDF spokesperson’s statement, over 100 tons of matzah, over 83,000 Passover Haggadot, approximately 710,000 kosher Passover rolls, 200,000 popsicles, and 66,000 personal desserts were distributed to soldiers.
In addition, 390 tons of meat cuts, 420 tons of chicken and 64 tons of fish were also distributed. The packages will be delivered to soldiers stationed in the Syrian, Lebanese, Gaza, and Judea and Samaria sectors, and in military assembly areas.
The Military Rabbinate is working to prepare all IDF bases for the holiday. The preparation is being conducted throughout the country – from the northern border to the southernmost outposts on the coast of Eilat – with the aim of ensuring that all soldiers are able to maintain the Passover kashrut standards.
The General Staff Supply Center and the Logistics Corps provided food rations adapted to all soldiers, including those who are on gluten free, vegan, and vegetarian diets.
ANOTHER BLAST FROM THE PAST
Recently, a three and a half year old girl discovered an ancient artifact dating back 3,800 years.
Truly, Israel’s youngest archaeologist.

PANCAKE THERAPY
Watch and be amazed how an Israeli husband and wife held hostage by Hamas are now being made famous. Their famous pancake recipe is now uniting Israelis and raising funds at the same time.
A unique therapy programme.

WOW
This personal revelation deserves to be forwarded to each and every media outlet and politician.
It should be used to expose the falsehoods and lies being so successfully propagated by the anti Israel haters.

RESILIENCE
Communities in the north of Israel suffered greatly as Hezbollah targeted them. Many residents left temporarily.
One woman refused to leave. This is the story of how she continues to be an inspiration as life slowly returns to this part of Israel.
