Tel-Aviv)!
Honest Reporting, an organization that monitors media bias against Israel, has
reported that the Canadian television network channel CTV reported that Tel
Aviv was the capital city of Israel while covering the floods that occurred in
the Holy Land not too long ago.
From an historical point of view, Jerusalem has only been the capital

capital city throughout human history.

Tu B'Shvat is Here: Israel's NEW YEAR
for.... Trees!
New Years may be over, but did you know that there is another New Year holiday
being celebrated this month? The Holiday of Tu B'shvat takes place on
the 15th day of the Hebrew month Shevat, January 26 this year (falls
on Shabbat), and marks the New Year for Trees. That's right, trees.
This holiday serves a very practical purpose. When it comes to the laws of
tithing in the Land of Israel, it's important to know which produce belongs to
which year.
