Yesterday marked the 70th anniversary of the liberation of Auschwitz. Just 37 miles east of the death camp is Krakow, a once-thriving pre-war Jewish community, where today empty doorposts bear the haunted markings of mezuzahs. Yet in an unbelievable resurgence, descendants of Jews who survived in hiding in Krakow are showing the best revenge against those who sought to destroy. “Israel Returns” supports Jewish activities for young Poles searching for their heritage, bringing them to Israel to experience the Land and to learn Torah. Their latest initiative is re-affixing mezuzahs to the mantels of Krakow’s Jewish homes. Share in this formidable Jewish spirit!

Yesterday's photo by Michael Shmidt featured the Golan Heights Wind Farm. These wind turbines generate enough energy for a mineral water bottling plant, a local winery and about 20,000 local residents. Now that's Israel energy!
