ARC Israel Updates

Day 165

Chaim starts out by saying that he is on leave from the front lines and he and his comrades from the Ya’alom unit are going to have a little party to try and recharge their batteries. He is recording the video on the shores of the Sea of Galilee where many of the most important events in Jewish history took place and which is still a vitally important source of fresh water for the entire country.

He thanks his viewers for caring about the work of the Aliyah Return Center, for sharing the videos he makes every day and for supporting their efforts to care for those who have been forced to flee their homes near the war zones. He also thanks his viewers for supporting the ARC’s efforts to supply IDF soldiers with tactical gear they need to do their jobs. Of course, he also thanks his viewers for supporting the ARC’s core mission of welcoming new immigrants and helping them get started in their new lives in Israel.

In general, he thanks his viewers for supporting Israel during this incredibly difficult time, which is far from over.

He asks his viewers to like, the video, leave a comment, and subscribe to the channel. He then invites his viewers to take a look at a presentation of all the activities of the ARC throughout Israel.

It includes being a central distubution hub for humanitarian supplies that donors send to Israel. The ARC distributes these supplies to partner organizations and NGOs all over the country, but especially in the Galilee region. The ARC also gives needed supplies directly to the families of new immigrants. There is also a project to give needed assistance to lone soldiers who are serving in the IDF while their parents and siblings have not yet made Aliyah.

There are also projects to support Holocaust survivors, give free short-term housing to new immigrants along with job training, Hebrew language instruction classes, gift cards which can be redeemed at grocery stores, and much more.

(Day 563) Swords of Iron – “Drive Terror Out”

Chaim starts by saying he remembers the day he got the call to come to his IDF reserve unit because the war was starting and he was needed. He talks about others he knows who did the same, even though many of them were very busy and had a lot going on, they all dropped what they were doing and ran to join their units. They all thought it would be a short war like so many others before it, but this war has lasted over a year and a half and there’s no end in sight.

(Day 562) Swords of Iron – “Fell in the line of duty”

Chaim starts by saying it’s always tragic when the IDF suffers casualties, and he honors Warrant Officer G’haleb Sliman Alnasasra, 35, of Rahat, who was killed in action over the weekend. Several other soldiers were wounded in the attack, which occurred in an area that was believed to have been cleared of hostile actors, but Hamas had a tunnel that had not been demolished yet and some Hamas guys popped up out of that tunnel and fired an RPG at an IDF vehicle and then later as a rescue vehicle was headed towards the scene Hamas detonated an IED and inflicted more casualties.

(Day 561) Swords of Iron – “Name a Hero of yours”

Chaim starts the video by asking his viewers to leave a comment talking about who their heroes are. He then tells the story of one of his personal heroes, Fredreich Bonhoofer, who was a pastor in Germany who publicly stood against the Nazi regime and was also involved in the plot to assassinate Adolf Hitler in July 1944. His great legacy is that although he was a pacifist, he said that to not take action in the face of evil, and to not speak out in the face of evil, was to support evil and to become evil.
