Day 144
Chaim starts out by mentioning the large surge in Jewish people all over the world who are making Aliyah (immigrating) to Israel amidst the current crisis. He reminds his viewers that he’s still the director of the Aliyah Return Center even though he’s serving in the IDF reserves and he says that the ARC is continuing to assist in this massive wave of Aliyah, and the even larger numbers of new immigrants who are on their way.
He says that the current situation in Israel and the war with Hamas in Gaza has led, perversely, to a tsunami of anti-Semitism in countries all over the world, and this is a factor that is “pushing” Jews to make Aliyah to Israel. He says that when they come, the ARC is ready to assist them in various ways.
He says that the ARC wants to be aligned with the prophetic vision regarding Aliyah, and as an example, he quotes Jeremiah 29:14; I will be found by you, says the Lord, and I will bring you back from your captivity; I will gather you from all the nations and from all the places where I have driven you, says the Lord, and I will bring you to the place from which I cause you to be carried away captive.
He also quotes Isaiah 43:5-6; “Fear not, for I am with you; I will bring your descendants from the east, and gather you from the west; I will say to the north, ‘Give them up!’ and to the south, ‘Do not keep them back!’ Bring My sons from afar, and My daughters from the ends of the earth”
He encourages his viewers to google a song called “Zion” performed by Aaron Schust. He also mentions the extensive archeological records that chronicle the Jewish presence in the Land of Israel going back thousands of years.
He concludes by thanking his viewers for being part of the ARC’s efforts to help new immigrants, the soldiers fighting in this war, the internally displaced refugees who have fled the fighting, and many others.
