Liberation

Ben Gurion: “In Israel in order to be a realist you must believe in miracles.”  -October 5, 1956 Interview on CBS

After the city of Safed was liberated, Yigal Alon made this comment, "After the war of Independence, (Yom Ha-atzmaut) one of the leading Rabbis of Safed said of the Palmach that there were two events that made this moment possible, a miracle and action.  What was the action?  The many people reciting Psalms for victory.  And what was the miracle?  That the Palmach was successful."



We are partners with God and humanity.  That means we pray and work for justice and freedom at the same time.
