Are You Making Aliyah?

ARC Israel Updates

Day 359 Swords of Iron – “Turning Tide and the Big Picture”

Chaim starts the video by showing his viewers a fire that was started by a rocket impact near the shores of the Sea of Galilee. He says that ugly scenes of battle are playing out all over Galilee, which is usually so pastoral and peaceful. But Chaim says Hezbollah in Lebabon is also being pushed back and battered.

In this context, Chaim quotes Psalms 91:7; A thousand may fall at your side, and ten thousand at your right hand; but it shall not come near you.

Chaim mentions the heavy stream of rockets being fired into Israel, including Tel Aviv and the Galilee, but Israel is not intimidated. He says that Operation Northern Arrows is building momentum.

Chaim says that the High Holidays are approaching and it’s time to “come up” or “make Aliyah” to Mount Zion in Jerusalem.

But even the more well-known meaning of Aliyah is also relevant. Chaim says the Aliyah Return Center is opening up new facilities in order to be more ready to receive and assist the new immigrants who are coming. He says that if there’s ever been a time to come to Israel and volunteer and “kick it into high gear” that time is now.

Chaim concludes by saying that he believes a time of peace will follow this intense period of warfare, and we all need to stand strong and have faith for the blessings to come.

(Day 540) Swords of Iron – “What Color is a Jew?”

Chaim starts out by saying that the IDF is hard at work keeping Israel safe and trying for a quiet weekend, which he says Israel needs in order to recuperate. At the same time, he notes that in Gaza, leaflets were distributed advising the residents to move away from areas that were about to be attacked. There have even been instances when an individual who wasn’t moving out of a building that was about to be struck was called and convinced to leave just before the strike came and destroyed that building. Chaim says this is an example of how the IDF is serious and its warnings should be taken seriously.

(Day 539) Swords of Iron – “Shabbat peace as the storm rages”

The video begins with a montage of combat footage that Chaim has taken before the scene changes to Chaim welcoming in the Sabbath with a group of other soldiers, obviously in battlefield conditions. The Jewish soldiers are all heavily armed and wearing full combat gear, but they are singing, praying and eating the Shabbat meal together just the same.

(Day 538) Swords of Iron – “The Waiting Game”

Chaim starts off by talking about ballistic missile attacks by the Houthis on Jerusalem, and says that as bad as they are, it was much worse before Israel had the Iron Dome and other air defense systems. Chaim also concedes that these systems are very expensive but he mentions the “Iron Beam” laser which will shoot down incoming missiles for a fraction of the cost, and soon everyone will want it.

(Day 537) Swords of Iron – USA Stealth bombers head toward Iran and Yemen

Chaim starts by talking about how the US military is deploying assets to Diego Garcia, a British-owned island in the Indian Ocean which also serves as a major hub for US military operations in the Middle East. Chaim says that all this firepower might soon be unleashed on the Houthis in Yemen, who have no way of defending against it. But the other major target is Iran, and some of their strategic assets are deep underground where even the American mili might have a hard time getting at them. Chaim says that Iran is showing this capability off to the world, clearly hoping to intimidate and discourage the US and Israel rom striking, but that is very unlikely to be successful.
