One of the most misunderstood concepts in Judaism is how one nation could be "chosen" over all others. In fact, the term "Chosen People" does not imply racial superiority at all, but rather a unique responsibility. The Jews are charged with being "a light unto the nations" by upholding morals, ethics and belief in one God. The ZAKA organization truly represents this Jewish calling. ZAKA is Israel’s primary rescue and recovery volunteer organization, with thousands of volunteers on call 24/7 to respond to any terror attack, accident or disaster, wherever they may occur. ZAKA's assistance at major international terror attacks and natural disasters led the United Nations in 2005 to recognize ZAKA as an international volunteer humanitarian organization. “Caring for the welfare of people all over the world is one way to reveal Godliness in the world,” says a ZAKA volunteer.

From Shimon Peres and Bibi Netanyahu to ordinary citizens of the nation, see why ZAKA is Israel's most beloved humanitarian organization in this inspiring video.

With the surge of terror that Israel faces daily, unnatural deaths are at a high, and the ZAKA organization's resources are taxed to the fullest. You can help ZAKA purchase 5 new ambulances with an urgent 'causematch' campaign going on now. Along with a matching donor, ZAKA needs to raise $550,000!

There is something about Jerusalem that calls out to people of all ages, religions and cultures. It’s a city with a living history, and a story behind every door. "Jerusalem Beckons" is a beautiful painting which encapsulates the personal and yet mysterious quality of the homes that make up this ancient hub of the world. The painting by Jordana Klein depicts a dozen Jerusalem doorways and windows welcoming people to the city. Straight from the artist's studio in the Old City of Jerusalem. The painting comes in 10″ x 13″ canvas.
