In Judaism, every Hebrew letter corresponds to a number, in a system known as ‘gematriya’. The number 18 is especially meaningful because it corresponds to the Hebrew letters 'Yud' (10) and 'Khet' (8) which spells חי/chai, meaning ‘life’. In today's verse, the words “You shall live,” directly connect the blessing of life to living in the Land of Israel. We give thanks to God every day not only for our lives, but for allowing us to “live and increase and come and possess the Land!” Stand with the Defenders of life in the State of Israel, the brave young IDF soldiers on the front lines against terror.

Every year thousands of people from all over the world voluntarily choose to serve in the IDF when they immigrate to Israel, often alone. These “lone soldiers”, an official army term, have no family support within Israel.

These choices of poignant photos of soldiers invoke the memory of the warrior King David and his yearning for God. Either praying at the Western Wall, or standing in partnership with their religious fellows, these IDF soldiers are depicted encountering God in their everyday life.

Yesterday's photo by Boruch Len showed the largest synagogue in the world, the Belz synagogue in Jerusalem. It is a beautiful replica of a synagogue that was destroyed by the Nazis in Belz, Poland. Its rebuilding in the Holy City symbolizes the eternity of the Jewish people. |
