The values of a nation are reflected in its actions. During World War II, Canada stood as a beacon of courage and righteousness, stepping into the fray early, in 1939, to combat the tyranny of Nazi Germany. Canada played a vital role in the Battle of the Atlantic, the air war over Germany, and the campaigns in western Europe, contributing far beyond what might be expected of a small nation of only 11 million people at the time.

More than one million Canadian men and women served full-time in the armed services, and over 43,000 paid the ultimate price. Despite the bloodshed, Canada’s involvement in the war reinvigorated its industrial base, elevated the role of women in the economy, and paved the way for its eventual membership in NATO.

On October 7, 2023, as Israel faced a devastating attack from Hamas, baby Kfir Bibas, his 4-year-old brother Ariel, and their parents, Shiri and Yarden, were abducted from their home on the Nir Oz kibbutz. At just 9 months old, Kfir became the youngest hostage in captivity, separated from his family, community, and the familiar comforts of his first home.

For Kfir, Ariel, and countless others held captive, the passage of time means lost moments that can never be fully recovered.

Around what should have been a joyful milestone—Kfir’s first birthday—hundreds gathered in Tel...

Hallel, the fiancée of Nethanel Eitan HY”D, an IDF soldier killed in Gaza on Hanukkah is sharing the following excerpt from his diary to spread his light and love to world.

          Jerusalem is surrounded by mountains.

          Jerusalem is a symbol of life.

          She is so beautiful, and with such unique beauty.

          She does not have the tallest mountain in the world.

          She does not have an impressive mountain glacier either.

          Her mountains, in fact, are average.

          Despite all this, she is the most beautiful city in the world.

          True beauty comes from within and radiates outwards.

          To see the beauty in someone else, you have to look inside.
