Saved by his Book of Psalms, Gap Year in Israel for students with disabilities, UN exhibit of Jewish exodus from Arab countries, and much more!

THE JEWISH STATE
Saved by his Book of Psalms
A man injured in the recent terrorist attack in Jerusalem was saved from death when a piece of shrapnel was stopped by the Book of Psalms (Tehillim) in his top pocket. The shrapnel came to rest at Verse 7 of Psalm 124 – “Our soul has escaped like a bird evading the grasp of its captors.”

Gap year in Israel for people with disabilities
Israeli organization Darkaynu, part of the Ohr Torah Stone network of programs, has developed Israel gap year programs for people with disabilities. The latest programs, in Jerusalem and Alon Shvut, comprise 28 students from the US, Canada, England, and Australia.

UN exhibit of Jewish exodus from Arab countries
Israel commemorated the “Day to Mark the Departure and Expulsion of Jews from Arab Countries and Iran” with an exhibition at the United Nations. It documents the history of the Jews in Arab countries and Iran, and the post-1947 emigration of hundreds of thousands to Israel.

Free “shuk” for the needy
Israeli food security charity Meir Panim (see here previously) has launched a free shuk (Arabic and Hebrew for “market”) in Jerusalem and Tzfat, providing fresh produce for those in need. Free shuks already operate in Or Akiva and Tiberias. There are also free restaurants in all four cities, plus Dimona.
