PM Netanyahu Receives “Bikurim” for Shavuot.

Prime Minister Binyamin Netanyahu met on Sunday with children from the Valley of Springs (Emek Hamaayanot) Regional Council ahead of the holiday of Shavuot, which begins at sundown on Tuesday.

The children brought the Prime Minister a basket of locally grown first fruits (bikurim), symbolic of the tradition of bringing the first fruits to the Holy Temple in Jerusalem.

Prime Minister Netanyahu told the children, “I thank you for the basket of first fruits and I wish you and all Israelis a happy Shavuot. The first fruits are a symbol of growth, development and renewal; may all our efforts bear fruit.”

I understand what you've said about that Israeli father dying but there are also Palestinian fathers who have also died. Death is on both sides and no is totally free of this. What is going on is completely cruel and really sad that this is what is happening in today's world. — theloveofyou

Many people on both sides of the conflict have died and that is regrettable. No human death should ever be celebrated. In no way do we deny this. We are all created in the image of G-d and are G-d’s children. Any loss of life is unfortunate.

Here at EY, we pray for a resolution of the conflict that brings about everlasting peace.

Israel May Not Be Perfect, But Where Else…?

Where else, other than in Israel…

is the Chanukah menorah lit on television every night of Chanukah?
is Sefirat Ha’Omer, the Omer counted on TV?
do news announcer and all sorts of public officials sportsefira/shloshim/three weeks and other Jewish religious beards while doing their public jobs as usual?
does the television news announcer consider it important to explain to the viewers that the Prime Minister’s clip about Herzl was recorded before the death of his father? Nobody should think that the Prime Minister wasn’t sitting a proper shiva (mourning period) for his father, Benzion Netanyahu.

Thank G-d. Things are getting better. Look at the good and don’t concentrate on the bad.

Old post but relevant.
