{image_1} In 1976, Bridges for Peace was birthed from the vision of Dr. G. Douglas Young, an extraordinary man who made such an impact on Jerusalem—after only 15 years as a resident—that he was awarded one of Israel’s highest honors in 1978 by the city’s famed mayor Teddy Kollek. Yakir Yerushalym, “Worthy of Jerusalem,” was normally given only to Jewish people over 70, but he was 68 and a gentile.

{image_1}It is almost impossible for our modern minds to imagine what it must have been like to actually see the manifest presence of God as His glory rested on the Tabernacle or filled the Temple. When His manifest presence appeared on Mount Sinai, it is described in the book of Exodus as fire, cloud, and thick darkness accompanied by earthquakes, thunder, and lightening.

{image_1}Israeli-designed GrainPro Cocoons provide a simple and cheap way for African and Asian farmers to keep their grain market-fresh. When the ancient Israelite Joseph told Egypt's Pharaoh that there would be a famine, he implemented a plan to store the provisions. Israel's modern-day Joseph, Professor Shlomo Navarro, has developed a simple but effective solution to help communities and countries avert large damages to their stores of cereals and pulses [legumes] without using chemicals.

{image_1}Israel’s relationship with Europe is complex to say the least. Anti-Semitism is on the rise, and Israel is routinely assailed by pro-Palestinian activists on the continent. At the same time, Germany has sold multiple nuclear submarines to Israel, and the British finally changed a law that results in less legal harassment for Israeli officials visiting the country. Two of Israel’s closer friends have recently been forced out of power, but one of their stronger critics was too. So, is the relationship getting better, worse, or staying the same? It depends on where you look.

{image_1}Hatred of Israel reaches new levels in Ireland: A couple of months ago, an outrageous anti-Israel display was held on Dublin's main pedestrian street, presenting IDF [Israel Defense Forces] soldiers as Nazi troops. As part of the display, sponsored by the Dublin City Council, a group of pro-Palestinian activists set up a model of the separation fence [along the West Bank border] and an IDF roadblock. The activists dressed up as soldiers and beat, humiliated, and pointed their weapons at other activists dressed as Palestinians in front of thousands of Irish citizens and tourists.
