Excerpts:
“This Shabbat, over 25,000 people from Israel and around the world, arrived in Hebron to participate in this special event. Hundreds traveled from the United States especially for this Shabbat, via Hebron’s New York office, the Hebron Fund, and through AFSI. In addition, thousands of Israeli couples and youth were hosted by Hebron and Kiryat Arba families.”
“Hebron leaders, extremely happy with the huge turnout, said that this was the largest ‘Chaye Sarah’ Shabbat gathering ever. They expressed hope that Israeli politicians and world leaders would take note of the tremendous international support for Hebron’s Jewish community. They also commented that such a strong show of support should assist in efforts to prevent the possible expulsion of Jewish families from the ‘Mitzpe Shalhevet’ neighborhood, which was ordered to be implemented before the end of 2005.”

“The 58 families of the former Jewish Gaza community of Kfar Darom, for instance, have been told time and again that their move to a high-rise building in Ashkelon was just a matter of time, and that they could expect to move within a short time.

Excerpts:
“Dr. Max Nordau, one of the founders of the World Zionist Organization, was named at birth Meir-Simcha. However, he was known as Max, a children’s doctor in Paris. The following story was told by Avraham Shmuel Yehuda, a Jerusalem Orientalist professor, in his book, ‘Ezer HaRav,; describing how Nordau became interested in Zionism. ”
“On the second night of First Zionist Congress in Basel, Nordau spoke in German, giving a long speech. He mentioned several times, as a motto, three words from Jeremiah, in Hebrew, ‘v’Shavu Banim l’Gvulam,’ ‘Our Children Have Returned to their Borders.’ When asked by a young representative at the congress how he found this verse, and especially in Hebrew, for this did not fit Nordau’s educational background, Nordau replied: ‘I know these words from the person to whom I am obliged all my Judaism and Zionism. A person whose name I don’t even know. A person who was, in essence, only a little boy of eight or ten.’”
