@PatriciaHeaton shares how her organization, October 7th Coalition, is bringing Christians and Jews together. From amplifying Israeli musicians and bringing Oct. 7th survivors into churches and schools to creating opportunities for genuine relationships and ongoing dialogue, O7C is making a big impact. Lasting solidarity is built through relationships, and those relationships begin by bringing people together. 🇺🇸🇮🇱

In this week’s Torah portion, God calls Abraham to leave his homeland and journey to the Land of Canaan. There, God makes a promise to Abraham and his descendants: “To your offspring I will give this land.” From Abraham, through Isaac and Jacob, the Torah traces the story of the Jewish people and their connection to Israel. Thousands of years later, that story remains at the heart of Jewish history, identity, and tradition. Shabbat Shalom!

So much for "boycotting Israel"! Yet, they are the ones these countries turn to in times of trouble.

Last Friday, runners gathered in Israel’s western Negev for a race of hope. 🇮🇱 Along the route, participants passed memorial sites, fields growing anew, and communities rebuilding. Every step carried a powerful message: We remember those we lost, stand with those rebuilding their lives, and refuse to give up on the future. This is the spirit of Israel: resilience, unity, and an unwavering determination to choose life and hope.

It starts with the Jews, but it never ends with the Jews.

How do you reach people who may never listen to a speech, attend a conference, or read an article? Through culture, music, and the arts! @johnondrasik explains why the cultural battle matters, and why music has the power to reach people in a way traditional advocacy often cannot. As John puts it, “That is how we get to hearts and have people maybe rethink the lies they’ve been told.” That’s why voices in music, entertainment, and the arts matter in the fight against antisemitism and in telling Israel’s story. 🇮🇱 Follow @israelappday for more stories of solidarity, courage, and support for Israel and the Jewish people.

We stand with Jewish communities in France under attack. This is nothing less than a cultural and spiritual war! Western civilization is under attack.

This restaurant is older than the State of Israel. And it's serving up delicious dishes with a dash of history. 🇮🇱🍽️ In 1932, a Jewish immigrant from Thessaloniki, Greece, opened Olympus Restaurant in Tel Aviv, 16 years before Israel declared independence. More than 90 years later, Olympus is still family-run, serving traditional Greek-Balkan cuisine and preserving the flavors immigrants brought with them. Through wars, economic crises, and generations of change, one thing has remained constant: food, family, and tradition. Visiting Tel Aviv? Put Olympus Restaurant on your list! Follow @israelappday for more stories celebrating Israel’s history, culture, and the people who make it extraordinary.

Democracy is more than institutions and elections. It’s a commitment to freedom worth defending. Israel is a democracy in a region where authoritarian governments remain common, and Israel's right to exist has repeatedly been challenged by enemies committed to its destruction. Yet, Israel continues to hold elections, protect freedom of religion, support a free press, and give its citizens a voice in government.

Did you know a third of Americans were born after 9/11 or were too young to remember them? @Bonnie_Glick reflects on the 25th anniversary of September 11 and the millions of Americans who know that day only as history, not as something they lived through. Her point goes beyond remembering 9/11. It’s about remembering the unity, shared grief, and sense of responsibility Americans felt toward one another in its aftermath. We must make sure those lessons aren’t lost on the next generation. Some lessons are too important to forget.

In Israel, challenges have often driven people to think differently, build boldly, and create solutions that reach far beyond its borders - from technology and medicine to agriculture and emergency response. That ability to turn adversity into opportunity is part of what makes Israel an innovation nation. Follow @israelappday for more 🇮🇱
