Jerusalem Inspiration - Israel365

God said to Moses, saying, "The daughters of Zelophehad speak properly. You shall surely give them a possession of inheritance among the brothers of their father."

NUMBERS (27:6,7)

וַיֹּאמֶר יְ-הוָה אֶל מֹשֶׁה לֵּאמֹר כֵּן בְּנוֹת צְלָפְחָד דֹּבְרֹת נָתֹן תִּתֵּן לָהֶם אֲחֻזַּת נַחֲלָה בְּתוֹךְ אֲחֵי אֲבִיהֶם

Jerusalem Inspiration

According to Jewish tradition, a name has deep spiritual dimensions, shaping a person’s character throughout life. We therefore look towards our ancestors and select a fitting role model whom we want to emulate. The Book of Numbers describes a righteous woman, Noa, one of the five daughters of Zelophehad who demonstrated an intense love for the Land of Israel. The name Noa in Hebrew means "pleasant," but also is associated with a passionate love for the Promised Land.

Jerusalem Daily Photo

Joe Aminoff's photo of children in the religious Jerusalem neighborhood of Mea She'arim. The name, which means "a hundred gates," was used to refer to the "hundredfold" bumper crop Isaac reaped with divine favor (Gen. 26:12). That section was the Torah portion of the week in 1874, when a group of Jerusalemites resolved to build this neighborhood outside the crowded walled Old City, and chose this as a promising name.

Steven Spielberg's Top 5 Yom Kippur Movie Recommendations

Top 5 Yom Kippur War Movies Recommended by Steven Spielberg

Today at sundown Israel will commemorate the 40th anniversary of the Yom Kippur War. An Arab coalition launched a joint surprise attack on Israeli positions on Yom Kippur, the holiest day in Judaism, which occurred that year during the Muslim holy month of Ramadan. Egyptian and Syrian forces crossed ceasefire lines to enter the Sinai Peninsula and Golan Heights respectively, which had been captured by Israel in the 1967 Six-Day War. Both the United States and the Soviet Union initiated massive resupply efforts to their respective allies during the war, and this led to a near-confrontation between the two nuclear superpowers.

In memory of the war, the Steven Spielberg Jewish Film Archive has recommended the Top 5 films showing the war and its aftermath:

5. Letter From The Front (1973)

The war through the eyes of reserve soldiers who were mobilized

4. Will To Do (1974)

The mood and conditions in Israel a year after the Yom Kippur War: rehabilitation of the wounded, care for war widows and general hardships.

3. A Time Between (1974)

The State of Israel recovers after the Yom Kippur War.

2. A Message Of Life (1974)

The Yom Kippur War causes hardship but also creates solidarity.

1. As Always Hadassah (1974)

Hadassah Hospital treats injured soldiers and civilians during the Yom Kippur War.

The 1973 Yom Kippur War

Remembering the Yom Kippur War, Supporting the IDF Today

With the instability in and new threats emanating from both Egypt and Syria today, this year's remembrance of the 1973 Yom Kippur War is more poignant than ever.

Israelis were shocked and saddened on Thursday when long-classified documents of former Prime Minister Golda Meir's testimony before the commission that investigated the mistakes leading up to the Yom Kippur War were declassified.

Meir had told the commission that her cabinet was in fact not taken by surprise by the armies of Egypt and Syria, and was certain war was going to break out at least 24 hours before it did.

"My heart was drawn to a preemptive strike, but I was scared," Meir told the commission.

A preemptive strike six years earlier in the Six Day War had saved many Israeli lives and given the Jewish state a much tidier victory. The failure to act in time in 1973 resulted in over 2,500 Israelis losing their lives in the Yom Kippur War.

Could such an assault on Israel ever happen again? That remains to be seen, but with the tumultuous situation in both Egypt and Syria, and the possibility that radical forces could still win control of both countries, many fear another "Yom Kippur War" is inevitable.

Standing guard and waiting for such an eventuality are the young, brave soldiers of the Israel Defense Forces, Israel's literal "watchmen on the walls."

As we remember Israel's past military conflicts, let's show those who are protecting our borders and lives today that we care and appreciate their sacrifice, as well.
