The Miracle Of Israel

[muman613]

Just came across this episode of Faith & Fate, a miniseries on Jewish History. This Episode, #6, covers the history of the modern state of Israel... It is narrated by Rabbi Berel Wein, a well known Rabbi and Historian of Jewish history...

If you liked Part 1, odds are you will enjoy Part 2.... So give it another 40+ minutes of your time...

Thankyou for sharing these touching stories of families.  I cannot imagine going through such a horrible time, but its absolute proof that God saves the seeds, just like he saved the seeds of Abraham, Isaac, and Jacob to survive against all Odds. (Faith is so important in our lives.)  Its documentaries like this one that educate people, and tell the horrific story of truth.  Thank God the Allies came through to Triumph!

Indeed Debbie, the Jewish people do feel gratitude to those who fought and defeated the accursed Nazis.

Just yesterday over Shabbat lunch we had two great warriors, one a a twenty-something youth who just got back from doing service in the IDF and served during the recent Operation Pillar of Clouds... The other an old man of 95 who served in World War II in the Pacific theatre, his brother also in his late nineties served in Europe and was captured by the nazis.... He also served for almost 30 years in the service involved with the Korean and Viet Nam conflicts.

These are the greatest heroes to me.   99% of people today can't hold a candle to the heroes who faced such evil.

Here is Rabbi Wein explaining the Balfour Declaration...

For those who enjoy Rabbi Weins lectures on Jewish history, here is his presentation on Holocaust denial...

[muman613]

Rabbi Berel Wein gives a talk to the Nahal Charadie (Rellgious Unit) of the IDF...

[muman613]

Another great talk by the famous Jewish historian Rabbi Berel Wein, talking about 'Patterns in Jewish history'. Have we actually learned anything?

[muman613]

I really liked what Rabbi Wein said in the previous video. I think his insights into the problems we are facing today are very helpful.

[muman613]

I have posted this video in years past, but I would like to add it to this thread. Another great presentation by the Jewish Historian Rabbi Berel Wein. This video explains the history of the Jewish people in the 20th century...

[muman613]

That video contains the basic history of my families emigration to America. My fathers family came from the Eastern Ukraine while my mother family was mostly from Poland. Both the Ukraine and Poland suffered pogroms...

http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Pogroms

A pogrom is a violent mob attack generally against Jews, and often condoned by the forces of law, characterized by killings and/or destruction of homes and properties, businesses, and religious centers. The term, a Russian word, originally entered the English language to describe 19th and 20th-century attacks on Jews in the Russian Empire; similar attacks against Jews at other times and places also became known as pogroms. The word is now also sometimes used to describe attacks against non-Jewish ethnic or religious groups.[2][3][4][5][6]

Significant pogroms in the Russian Empire included the Odessa pogroms, Warsaw pogrom (1881), Kishinev pogrom (1903), Kiev Pogrom (1905), and Białystok pogrom (1906), and after the 1917 Russian Revolution, the Lwów pogrom (1918), and Kiev Pogroms (1919). The most significant pogrom in Nazi Germany was the Kristallnacht of 1938, in which at least 91 Jews were killed, a further 30,000 arrested and incarcerated in concentration camps,[7] over 1,000 synagogues burned, and over 7,000 Jewish businesses destroyed or damaged.[8][9]
