 The letter below was sent by Aron Adler who is doing IDF reserve duty on the Egyptian border .I am 25 years old, was born in Brooklyn NY , and raised in Efrat Israel . Though very busy, I don’t view my life as unusual. Most of the time, I am just another Israeli citizen. During the day I work as a paramedic in Magen David Adom, Israel ’s national EMS service. At night, I’m in my first year of law school. I got married this October and am starting a new chapter of life together with my wonderful wife Shulamit.
15-20 days out of every year, I'm called up to the Israeli army to do my reserve duty. I serve as a paramedic in an IDF paratrooper unit. My squad is made up of others like me; people living normal lives who step up to serve whenever responsibility calls. The oldest in my squad is 58, a father of four girls and grandfather of two; there are two bankers, one engineer, a holistic healer, and my 24 year old commander who is still trying to figure out what to do with his life. Most of the year we are just normal people living our lives, but for 15-20 days each year we are soldiers on the front lines preparing for a war that we hope we never have to fight.

 וְיוֹסֵף הוּא הַשַּׁלִּיט .......For those of you who don't know Hebrew, this phrase says "YOSEPH HOO HA'SHALIT". This comes from the 4th aliyah in the parsha of Mikeitz, that is the third to last parsha in the Book of Bereishit (genesis).
We all know that Joseph was the most famous Jewish prisoner of all time, removed from jail to interpret the dream of pharoah, later to become the most powerful person in Egypt.

 Veto Any UN Declaration of a Palestinian State in Israel
Palestinian leaders have announced their intentions to ask the United Nations to formally recognize a Palestinian State by September 2011. Abbas intends to establish a state on Land that is currently inhabited by Jewish families.
We therefore want to clearly tell the United States government, the United Nations and the world at large that we reject the establishment of a foreign state within the borders of Israel.

 This is the true Israel and this I am sure is not shown to you all. The IDF has rescued an Arab woman and her baby daughter after they received medical care in Israel and then were caught in a Hamas mortar shell attack on the Erez Crossing to northern Gaza. |

 Israeli society is like a bottle of Kinley that has been shaken for far too long. Two weeks ago the top was taken off. Around 150,000 people joined in protest across Israel on Saturday night. We need to be clear on one thing: these protests are not about housing prices - but they are a very big deal which will rearrange the Israeli political landscape. The protests need to be broken down in order to be understood. Let’s go to the tape: What are these protests about?
