Israeli Company Helps Address World’s Water Crisis

Access to fresh clean drinking water is one of the world’s greatest environmental issues. The United Nations claims that 1.2 billion people, who consist of one fifth of the world population, live in areas of clean water scarcity. “About 97 percent of the world’s water is saltwater or polluted water,” says Shimmy Zimels, CEO of Jerusalem-based SunDwater. This situation forces many countries to drill expensive wells, buy bottled water, or even use contaminated water despite the health risks associated with drinking unclean water. Indeed, most of the people suffering from acute shortages in clean drinking water live in developing countries in Africa, Asia, and Latin America. ...

Jewish Resistance During the Holocaust

Hannah Szenes, a young Jewish soldier in the British Army who parachuted into Nazis occupied Europe with the goal of assisting her fellow Jews, wrote right before crossing the border into Hungary, “Blessed is the match, consumed in kindling flame. Blessed is the flame that burns in the heart's secret places. Blessed is the heart that knows, for honors sake, to stop its beating. Blessed is the match, consumed in kindling flame.” While Szenes successfully fought with Tito’s forces for three months, she would be captured upon crossing into Hungary, tortured cruelly by the Nazis and yet despite the knowledge that her own mother was at risk, she refused to give the Nazis any sort of information that could assist their war effort. Indeed, until her last breadth, when she was executed by a firing squad, Szenes demonstrated that she was nothing short of a flame glaring during the Jewish peoples’ darkest hours, fighting against the Nazis oppression until she was brutally murdered. ...

Holocaust Memorial Day in Israel

Sunday evening marks Yom ha-Shoah or Holocaust Memorial Day in Israel. Yom Hashoah was established in Israel in 1953 by David Ben-Gurion, Israel’s first Prime Minister, as a day to commemorate the six million Jews who were murdered in the Holocaust. While the rest of the world commemorates Yom Ha-Shoah on Auschwitz Liberation Day, January 27th, Israel memorializes the Holocaust on a day remembering the Warsaw Ghetto Uprising, on the 27th of Nissan, although it was moved from the exact date of the anniversary, the 14th of Nissan, because of Passover. Yom Hashoah is also sometimes moved if it will fall on Shabbat. ...

A Brief History of the Holocaust

As we approach Holocaust Memorial Day, it is absolutely critical to remember the slaughter of six million innocent Jews, of whom 1.5 million were merely children, during the darkest hour in human history. These six million Jewish lives represent two-thirds of the European Jewish community and one third of the world Jewish population at that period of time. Six million Jews being murdered is the equivalent of almost all of the Jews in Israel or the United States being slaughtered within a period of twelve years! Indeed, the Holocaust was the worst genocide recorded in human history, yet even this is a gross understatement, for no words can accurately describe the magnitude of the horrors experienced by the Jewish people during the Holocaust....

Albanian Muslims Rescued Jewish Lives From Nazis

In 1934, American Ambassador to Albania Herman Bernstein proclaimed, “There is no trace of any discrimination against Jews in Albania, because Albania happens to be one of the rare lands in Europe today where religious prejudice and hate do not exist, even though Albanians are divided into three faiths.” Indeed, as Jews across Europe were being massacred en masse as part of the Nazi final solution, one country in Europe didn’t have a negative Jewish growth rate and that country, Albania, had a Muslim majority. ...
