10,000 Jews Risk Lives to Pray at the Tomb of Biblical Joshua [PHOTOS] By Ariella Mendlowitz - BREAKING ISRAEL NEWS
10,000 Jews Risk Lives to Pray at the Tomb of Biblical Joshua [PHOTOS]
“And Joshua the son of Nun was full of the spirit of wisdom; for Moses had laid his hands upon him; and the children of Israel hearkened unto him, and did as the LORD commanded Moses.” Deuteronomy 34:9 (The Israel Bible™)

At least 10,000 people hiked from all over Israel to visit and pray at the tomb of Joshua son of Nun to commemorate the Biblical warrior’s death.
The closest disciple of Moses, Joshua never wavered from his master’s side throughout the Israelites’ 40-year journey in the desert. After Moses died (Deuteronomy 34:7), Joshua was annointed as his successor, guiding the people as they crossed over the Jordan river into the Land of Israel. After years of waging war against the nations that were living there, Joshua led his troops to victory, ultimately conquering the land as God had instructed.
Be strong and of good courage; for thou shalt cause this people to inherit the land which I swore unto their fathers to give them. Only be strong and very courageous, to observe to do according to all the law, which Moses My servant commanded thee; turn not from it to the right hand or to the left, that thou mayest have good success whithersoever thou goest. (Joshua 1:6-7)
To this day, Joshua is hailed as one of the greatest commanders in Biblical history.
His death is commemorated on the 26th of the Hebrew month of Nissan, which occurred this year on Tuesday night. Hence the midnight visit this week, marking the tenth annual event of the journey.
Joshua was buried in biblical Timnath-heres, in the center of today’s Palestinian village of Kifl Haris, a short drive from the Israeli city of Ariel in the heart of Samaria. Like so many other Palestinian areas in Israel, however, Kifl Haris is not safe for Jews to pass through without heavy security. Therefore, the thousands of ultra-Orthodox Jews who made the trek did so under the watchful eye of many IDF soldiers.
The Samaria Regional Council, in coordination with the IDF, organizes three trips each year so that Jews can worship at the Biblical tombs. In order to minimize any risks to Israeli civilians’ security, the IDF shuts down a section of the village in the middle of the night, when the amount of people who might pose a threat is greatly reduced.
Desecrated by Palestinian graffiti, Joshua’s grave lies under a small stone-and-stucco mausoleum, covered by a dome. To emphasize the stark contrast between ancient and modern, the monument sits on the edge of an open square, surrounded by apartment buildings and shops.
Once they reached the historical gravesite, the thousands of worshippers rejoiced upon arriving. Some visitors brought musical instruments with them, playing guitars and drums, while others danced and sang along. Nearly everyone took an opportunity to squeeze into the small building and offer up prayers by reciting from Psalms or personal supplications. A few people even climbed to the top of the roof to maximize their prayer potential.
The strength shown by Joshua in conquering the Land of Israel was especially felt Tuesday night. Knesset Member Oren Hazan compared the great general’s mission to that of the Israeli people today, whose efforts to build up the Land of Israel never end. “We have to continue with this mission to redeem the land, so that we can finally be a free people in our land,” he said.
Buried in close proximity to Joshua is fellow conqueror Caleb son of Yefuna, who was Joshua’s right-hand man in the conquest of Israel.
Echoing Hazan’s sentiments, Samaria Regional Council head Yossi Dagan shared, “We have come here precisely because Joshua Bin Nun and Caleb Ben Yefuna had the strength to stand against the 10 other spies and to say the land is good, let us rise up and inherit it.”
“We draw strength from Joshua and from the thousands who came here,” he said.

10,000 French Jews, 3,000 Americans expected to Make Aliyah in 2016 – Israel News By JNI Media
10,000 French Jews, 3,000 Americans expected to Make Aliyah in 2016 – Israel News
“Behold, I have set the land before you: go in and possess the land which the LORD swore unto your fathers, to Abraham, to Isaac, and to Jacob, to give unto them and to their seed after them.'” (Deuteronomy 1:8)
The coming year is expected to see another increase in the number of Jews immigrating to Israel, this after more than 30,000 Jews made Aliyah last year, a record for the past 15 years. In 2016, some 10,000 Jews are expected to emigrate from France alone; 3,000 Jews are expected to arrive from the United States; 7,000 from Russia and an additional 7,000 from Ukraine.
“We are monitoring the intensifying anti-Semitism in Europe, while at the same time the government ministries are preparing to absorb the olim,” the head of the Committee for Immigration, Absorption and Diaspora Affairs, MK Avraham Naguisa, said Wednesday. “Their absorption is a national mission and a Zionist, social and economic window of opportunity for the Jewish nation, the State of Israel and Israeli society.”
Russian Jewish Congress President Yuri Kanner told the committee that the level of anti-Semitism in Russia is low and decreases continuously, but systematic anti-Semitism, or media-related anti-Semitism will increase immigration to Israel. According to Kanner, nationalistic parties have significant influence on the level of anti-Semitism in Russia. He recalled that some two years ago a yeshiva student in Moscow was beaten because he was Jewish, and noted that those who commit anti-Semitic acts in the various Russian provinces are punished.
Unlike in Europe, the relations between the Jewish and Muslim community in much of Russia are good, Kanner said, adding that Jewish-Muslim relations are not as good in Dagestan, Chechnya and the Caucasus regions.
Chief Rabbi of Moscow Pinchas Goldschmidt, who also serves as the president of the Conference of European Rabbis, said, “Europe’s Jews are like a person walking on train tracks; from one side there is the train of radical Islam, and from the other there is the anti-religious reaction of old Europe. Today, after the Islamic attack in Paris, Europe understands that Islamic terror is its problem as well, not only Israel’s.”
Goldschmidt said the expected immigration to Israel will weaken the French Jewish community, which he said should be strengthened with educational and social activities.
Yogev Karasenty, director of combating anti-Semitism at the Ministry of Diaspora Affairs, told the committee that last year had seen a record number of anti-Semitic attacks, carried out mainly by Muslims. Nearly all the attacks committed by Muslims were carried out by Muslims who were born and educated in Europe, and not by refugees, he said.
Karasenty criticized some European countries for their lack of deterrent punishment against anti-Semites, and mentioned that the denial of the Eastern European nations’ role in the Holocaust is becoming more widespread. Karasenty said 63 percent of French Jews have experienced anti-Semitism. According to him, the Israeli government allocates $50 million each year towards strengthening Jewish identity and education abroad, while the Jewish communities in the Diaspora spend a similar amount.
Former Minister of Immigration and Absorption Sofa Landver (Yisrael Beitenu) said the full potential of the immigration of Jews from France has yet to be realized. “We could have reached 15,000 [French] olim this year, not only 8,000,” she said. “The best response to the anti-Semitic attacks is improved absorption. There is no place for [a lagging] bureaucracy in this national mission.”
