On July 13, 2005, there were 500 immigrants from the United States and Canada—the largest contingent of North American Jews to make aliyah (immigrate to Israel) in one day in Israel's history!

For the first time in nearly 2,000 years, Israel will next year become the largest Jewish community in the world, figures released by a Jewish Agency think tank revealed in July.

However, the report issued by the Jewish People Policy Planning Institute predicted that even in 15 years, the majority of world Jewry will not be living in Israel. (At present, about 40% of world Jewry live in Israel, while by 2020, 46% will choose Israel as their home.)

Controlling Bacteria Without Antibiotics

September 20, 2005

Enhancing quorum sensing could prove useful in agriculture, biotechnology, and the food industry.

The overuse of antibiotics in recent decades has created resistant strains of bacteria, which often make drugs much less effective in fighting infections.

September 20, 2005

You have probably heard at least one preacher give a sermon on tithing. I’ve heard a lot of them. Some are fun, others are interesting, and some contain errors.

But I will try to correct one erroneous message I’ve heard and give an alternative, which will allow the same sermon to be preached without that error.

Called To Serve

With a smile, the waitress asked, “May I serve you?” as she handed menus to Richard Bristol and Pieter Marais, from our Food Bank. They were eating lunch at Carmei Ha’ir (Vineyards of the City), a Jerusalem restaurant near Machane Yehuda, a popular outdoor fruit and vegetable market. The food served was delicious, with meat and fish choices, and the service was prompt and courteous. Certainly, this was a restaurant to remember. But, wait, this was no ordinary restaurant! When they finished eating, no one brought a bill or asked for payment.
