Today's verse describes how Abraham got up early, וַיַּשְׁכֵּם, va-yash-kaym, and from this one Hebrew word, we learn an invaluable life lesson. Just like Abraham was zealous to do God’s will at daybreak, so too should we strive to grab opportunities to do good without hesitation. Karmey Chessed is known across Israel for its repeated efforts to help struggling individuals and families. A lesser known program offers aid specifically to soldiers serving in the IDF with families back home that are struggling. There are seven mothers of IDF soldiers who work directly with army social workers and Karmey Chesed. They volunteer to keep abreast of who is struggling, whether emotionally, financially or because they are lone soldiers, and work to issue whatever aid they need.

This book was a labor of love which quickly turned into one of remembrance. The author began his documentation with the early years of Ilan’s journey to becoming an astronaut. It chronicles Ramon’s journey from air force pilot to astronaut, and includes NASA photographs, an interview with Ilan Ramon, articles about Israel’s first astronaut.

A fantastic day begins as the sun rises over Efrat, by Zev Rothkoff. Nestled in the Judean hills, Efrat lies 12 kilometers south of Jerusalem, in the heart of Gush Etzion. Efrat was founded with the guiding idea of an open urban community between Hebron and Jerusalem, which would serve as a bridge between the city of the patriarchs and Israel's capital.
