We Keep Growing
As Israel was mourning her dead today, it was nice to see the flip side of the coin from the
JPost:
In the past year 144,000 babies were born in Israel. while 21,000 people immigrated to the country. Of the new immigrants, 11,000 came from the former Soviet Union, 2,600 from Ethiopia, 1,800 from France, 1,600 from the United States and 1,200 from Argentina.
Happy Birthday, Israel
Happy Birthday Israel! This is my first Yom HaAtzmaut here in the land, and I'm thrilled to be here. Yishai and I are taking a big group to Gush Katif this year.
For all the worries and all the struggles and all the enemies, there's a musky flower, a shadowy hillside, a backalley falafel joint to cherish here in the Land. 56 years young, beautiful Israel, we are so proud of you. We will keep tilling your soil, filling your libraries and singing out our love for you. And you, our Mother, our Child, you just keep growing, growing, growing.
