On the upcoming festival of Passover we celebrate God’s awesome display of miracles during the Exodus. For the sake of Israel, a ‘pillar of cloud’ protected it from the shooting arrows of the Egyptians in hot pursuit. Today we celebrate the mighty sacrifices and bravery of the soldiers of the IDF, shielding Israel from its enemies. May the God of Israel continue to protect His people through His pillar of defense like He did for us long ago! Stand in solidarity with a soldier in need this Passover.
Last year, 480 Israeli Defense Force (IDF) lone soldiers from 35 countries participated in what is being called “The greatest Passover seder in the IDF”.
In Exodus 30, God commands Moses to count the Jewish Nation by collecting a half shekel from each individual- rich and poor alike. Watch this video and discover an important lesson as from this commandment. Then check out our City of David collection, featuring jewelry made from half shekel coin artifact replicas, and other inspiring pieces. Now 20% OFF!
It’s “no man left behind” for the soldiers in the Israel Defense Forces, who take seriously the principle of mutual concern and responsibility for one another.
