Zionism is the Jewish national movement of rebirth and renewal in the land of Israel – the historical birthplace of the Jewish people. The yearning to return to Zion, the biblical term for both the Land of Israel and Jerusalem, has been the cornerstone of Jewish religious life since the Jewish exile from the land two thousand years ago, and is embedded in Jewish prayer, ritual, literature and culture.
Every one who knows the problems of territory, religion, education, and simple racial hate and international involvement, knows that the greatest problem of all is related to the Bible. Jews have for the two thousand years of exile among the nations dreamed of returning to the land of their forefathers, the land of Israel, between the Jordan River and the Mediterranean Sea.

The Bible is for those who believe it a living Word that not only tells the story of past ancient history, but also predicts the future and makes a road map for the rest of man s days on this Earth. Those who believe that the promises of the Bible are to be understood literally are called, Fundamentalist.

Here are some Biblical facts on this issue: 1.God s promise to give the land of Israel to Abraham, Isaac, and Jacob, and their seeds forever is repeated more times in the Bible than any other promise. In Genesis alone it is repeated close to twenty times. 2.The promise...

A Zionist is anyone who believes that God gave the land of Israel to Abraham, Isaac and Jacob and their descendants forever. "Forever" includes ...
Parashat HaShavua Lej Leja, también llamada "ve tu" es también llamada parashat Aliyá, que significa en términos propios, "la porción para emigrar a Israel."

Since September 2000, Israel and its citizens have been going through dark times. First, Homicide bombers were blowing themselves up (and by that taking lives of innocent civilians with them), and had become an overwhelming, frightening threat to the people of Israel. Then, rockets fired by Hamas from Gaza put hundreds of thousands of Israelis in ...
When our Rabbi, Maran Yeshua HaMashiach was crucified the earth shook and the veil of the temple was rent from top to bottom. Surely this had significance, along with the strange miracles surrounding the temple after his death. During 200 years before 30 CE, when the high priest picked up one of the lots, again the selection was governed by chance ...
The 9th day of Av, the fifth month of the biblical calendar, or "Tisha B'Av," marks many of the worst calamities in Israel's history.

Italy is located centrally in the Mediterranean sea and served as an important crossroad and an intersection between North and South, East and West, Sephardic and Ashkenazi culture. That's why Italy has a very important role in Jewish history and genealogy. Italy contains some of the oldest Jewish Communities in Europe. Jews arrived in South Italy ...
As a bible believer I believe that the Palestinian (Arabs from the Arabian peninsula) should have their own state. They should have their own democratic government running their own issue (Hamas not Fatah, who was not democratic elected). They should have their own territory, which they would be able to rule as they wish, and they should be able t ...
On this, the 53rd anniversary of Israel's independence, it is all too tempting for friend and foe alike to define Israel, and Zionism, solely by the Arab world's bloody hostility. To do so is to miss the normal miracles that occur in Israel daily, the millions who are able to live and learn, laugh and play, in the Middle East's only democracy. To ...
I would like to recommend the below videos, which gives us some history regarding the pogroms and other atrocities incurred by Jews residing in Muslim countries. Jewish people living in Muslim countries were never treated as equal, but as sub-humans, as "second-class citizens" under state-sponsored discrimination and actively persecuted by Islamic ...
