ISRAEL'S FLAG


The flag of Israel was designed by a man called David Wolffsohn.

He chose two elements for the flag.
The first was the colours of blue and white, to represent the tallit (Jewish prayer shawl)
and the second was the Magen David (Star of David) which had been used as a Jewish symbol for a long time.

Katushyas in the north of Israel (near us)

It is now 9 in the morning on Wednesday. The Israeli news has just reported that 2 katushya rockets - fired from Lebanon - have fallen near Kiryat Shmonah in northern Israel. Kiryat Shmonah is about 3 miles from the border with Lebanon, and less than a mile from where my youngest son is right now in school. It is 25 miles from where I live, and about 35 miles from Tiberius, where our branch meets.

It is now five minutes later and another one has just fallen. Everyone in the area of KS, including all the school kids, are now in or on their way to the bomb shelters. This is pretty well what happened in 2006. It started in the south, and a couple of weeks later it came to the north. Prayers are always appreciated!
