Today's Israel Inspiration On the Jewish calendar, today marks the bitter fast day known as the 17th of Tammuz which begins the ‘Three Weeks’ of mourning leading up to day when the Temple in Jerusalem was destroyed. During this period, we remember not only the ancient loss of the Temple, but pray for an end to the dangers plaguing the State of Israel, the devastation and “ruin” being sought by our enemies time and again. Respond to our enemies with the rebuilding of the Land, and plant a tree today.   Plant a tree in the Land of Israel » Meaning Behind the Tears Gain deeper insight into the mourning period of the Three Weeks, along with practical life lessons derived from Bibical verses, in this engaging video.   Watch here » Rabbi Tuly Weisz & Readers Visit Auschwitz "Having lost so many family members in the Shoah, this was a particularly personal pilgrimage for me," stated Rabbi Tuly Weisz on last week's tour to Poland with Israel365 readers.   Read more at » Memoir of a Heroine Hannah Senesh was a brave heroine who volunteered to leave the relative safety of Palestine to fight with the partisans against the Nazis.
