Who are the Israelis?

Civilian Flyover Honors MDA, the IDF, Medical Staff

A special civilian flyover was held last Friday saluting the Magen David Adom staff, the IDF Home Front Command, and hospital medical teams at the forefront of the Corona crisis and raising awareness of the Health Ministry’s guidelines. The flyover passed over MDA and hospital teams at the helicopter air pad at Poriah Hospital near Tiberias.

The traditional Jewish prayer Gal Gadot says every day
“I thank You, living and enduring King, for You have graciously returned my soul within me.
Great is Your faithfulness,”
is one translation of prayer’s Hebrew text.

Vanity Fair just released an incredible, comprehensive interview with “Wonder Woman” star Gal Gadot. There are a lot of fun tidbits about the Israeli actress’ career, her somewhat unpopular stint singing “Imagine” with other celebrities early in the pandemic, feminism and her propensity for ending sentences with “dadadada” (apparently its Gadot’s version of “yada yada yada“).

There’s also some truly excellent pictures that were shot with an all-Israeli crew at Caesarea beach. Oh, and Gadot also made a video as part of the article on Hebrew slang words.

As an Israeli, Gadot is very open about her Jewish identity, speaking out against anti-Semitism, sharing pictures of her family celebrating Jewish holidays, and talking about how her grandfather, an Auschwitz survivor, impacted her life. And, at the end of the Vanity Fair piece, she talks about how one Jewish prayer in particular helps keep her grounded.

“I say thank you every morning. In the Jewish culture, there’s a prayer that you’re supposed to say every time you wake up in the morning to thank God for, you know, keeping you alive and dadadada. You say “modeh ani,” which means ‘I give thanks,’” she told Vanity Fair’s Nancy Jo Sales. “So every morning I wake up and step out of bed and I say, ‘Thank you for everything, thank you, thank you, thank you, thank you.’ Nothing is to be taken for granted.”

Modeh Ani is, of course, the traditional Jewish prayer recited upon waking up each day. It offers thanks to God for letting us regain consciousness after a long night’s sleep.

“I thank You, living and enduring King, for You have graciously returned my soul within me. Great is Your faithfulness,” is one translation of prayer’s Hebrew text.

It’s so lovely to think of this super successful Jewish actress — the third highest-paid actress this year, according to Forbesoffering gratitude to God every day.

Gadot’s career is seriously on fire, and she has many incredible upcoming roles: the anticipated reprise of Wonder Woman in Wonder Woman 1984, playing Jewish actress and inventor Hedy Lammar and portraying Holocaust hero Irena Sendler. Then there’s her newly announced controversial upcoming role as Cleopatra. (Another Jewish star who played the role, despite controversy, was Elizabeth Taylor). Yet, at the end — or, rather, the beginning — of each day, she doesn’t take anything for granted.

As a mom, I have to also thank Gadot for her very relatable and very real pronouncements on parenthood: “I’m all types of moms. It depends what days you’re asking,” she told the magazine. “I’m very connected to them and I’m very warm, and I make sure to keep the channels of communication open and we always talk about feelings and stuff like that. And then sometimes I let go and don’t interrupt them because I’ve learned when you’re too involved you can actually create problems.”

“I can be hysterical at times,” she says. “I can be goofy. We laugh a lot. I can have a lot of patience, but then when I lose it, it’s not great.”

She adds, laughing: “I think that every mom can relate to this, that once you have a baby, you get a huge sack of guilt, which is something that I’m dealing with all the time. But I realized I can only try and be the best version of a mom that I can be. So I just try to do my best and give them everything that I can.”

The Torah's Position on Land Concessions for Peace

Weekly Torah portion - Vayeira 2020

 
Yagel Haroush - Lehalelchah (Praise You)

To praise You I desired / And I didn't know how
For my soul I have worked / And made her an altar
My desire I have poured in her / Of Your bereft desire
In front of Your exalted creation / Standing silent still
Remained desolate / The light of her eyes as blind

If not lit her world with a song
Descends alive silent into Sheol grave

Bless my soul / And awaken from slumber
Desire Your song / For within is consolation

In reality, there is no liberation for one without liberation for the other.

Load of hooey. Israel will never allow equality.


That can be said about any living ecosystem on earth.
What country can you name as best example of equality?

Because if you listened instead of getting triggered at short notice,
see none of what you mention actually contradicts what Rudy Rochman says.
