Blessed is the match consumed in kindling flame.
Blessed is the flame that burns in the secret fastness of the heart.
--Hannah Szenes

Israel blesses the memory of its fallen like no other country in the world. Israel extols and sanctifies life and the living. Israel holds dearly the testimony of every Jewish life...and every human life. May HaShem provide eternal peace to those who have been martyred so that the Jewish State of Israel may remain the viable incandescent light illuminating a world still so full of darkness, a world still waiting for redemption....

What an amazing place Israel is. That gave me chills. I can't imagine a city stopping like that here in America to remember the victims of terrorism. America seems to have forgotten 9/11.

My friend in Haifa has described this event to me. If we forget we will be overtaken by those who are really serious about destroying us.

Very Moving, God Bless Israel.
