For His Glory
Throughout Scripture, we see the concept of the glory of God, and it is often linked to the idea that God desires that men will know Him and understand His character. We see His glory displayed in creation: “The heavens declare the glory of God…” (Psalm 19:1a). At various times in Israel’s history, God visibly portrayed His glory. For instance, during the dedication of the Temple: “The house, the house of the LORD, was filled with a cloud, so that the priests could not continue ministering because of the cloud; for the glory of the LORD filled the house of God” (2 Chronicles 5:14).

Plan: Ease of Restrictions in Return for Shalit

The recommendations -some of which have already been approved by the defense minister and will be brought to the political echelon's approval-have been obtained by Ynet and are revealed here for the first time. They include allowing the transfer of coffee, tea, soup and canned food into Gaza, as well as fuel for electricity production.

“Drought Tax” Takes Effect
A new tax on water came into effect on June 30, in hopes of making Israeli households take the need to stop wasting water a little more seriously. The surplus consumption levy, dubbed the "drought tax," was the Water Authority's brainchild and suggests a scaled levy on surplus water use. The Water Authority prices a cubic meter of water for private use at NIS 7.8 ($1.99). According to statistics, basic water consumption—i.e. the amount used by the average family of four—stands at 15 cubic meters of water a month. The proposed tax prices each additional cubic meter of water between NIS 16 and NIS 20 (US $4–5).

Israel’s Virtual Olympic Exhibits Teach about Values
Israel has participated in the Olympics for over 50 years, and now, the Israel Olympic Committee has brought the Olympics to Israel through the Olympic Experience Museum. The museum is actually a multi-media virtual tour with exhibits that go through five rings, like the five Olympic rings, and range from the Olympics in ancient Greece to Israel-specific Olympic history, including a memorial to the athletes murdered in a terror attack during the 1972 Munich Games.
