Israel’s Independence Day always gets me emotional, missing my Savta x Sabba.. they moved from Addis Ababa, Ethiopia to Sana’a, Yemen and finally to Israel in 1927. My Sabba built the house that I always stayed at when visiting, with his own hands. Celebrating with my kid all these years later is a blessing and I pray for only good things 🙏🏽

As Alan Dershowitz said yesterday, “The world should join Israeli in celebrating its 71 years of statehood. The world should also recognize that if Israel’s enemies stopped attacking its citizens, there would be peace. But if Israel stopped defending its citizens, there would be genocide.” Praying for Peace.
