El milagroso rescate de los judíos del Yemen


No es muy conocido el dramático éxodo de los casi 49,000 judíos que vivían en Yemen.

Se dice que los primeros judíos que habían llegado al Yemen fueron enviados como comerciantes por el Rey Salomón. De esa manera, los judíos vivieron en el Yemen durante muchos siglos.

En ese país, embestido por la pobreza, los judíos eran los ciudadanos más pobres y desamparados, viviendo con sufrimiento y víctimas de desprecio y persecución.

Sin embargo, en sus sinagogas y escuelas, enseñaron a sus hijos a leer y escribir en hebreo.

Gobierno israelí aprueba fondos para almacenamiento de “electricidad Kosher”


El gabinete firmó este domingo un controvertido proyecto de almacenamiento de energía que pretende abordar las preocupaciones de los judíos observantes sobre el uso de la electricidad producida por otros judíos en Shabat, informó The Times of Israel.

El plan para la instalación de almacenamiento en Bnei Brak tiene un precio de unos 33 millones de dólares, que según los críticos saldría de los bolsillos de los consumidores en general, incluidos aquellos que no requieren electricidad almacenada.

Los judíos ultraortodoxos, que se adhieren a una interpretación estricta de la ley judía, han promovido durante mucho tiempo el establecimiento de instalaciones de almacenamiento de energía.

Buscan una alternativa al consumo de electricidad producida en Shabat en violación de las leyes religiosas.

Almost 30 years ago, Pastor Larry Huch and his wife, Pastor Tiz Huch, considered quitting the ministry they spent many years building.

“I just felt like something was missing,” Larry said. “We had built churches all over the world in countries like Australia and America.” But then a friend recommended they visit Israel. Little did they know that it would change their life and the lives of millions of Christians around the world.

(JTA) — Rabbi Stephen Slater’s rabbinate breaks the mold in all sorts of ways.

Though he graduated from the unaffiliated Hebrew College Rabbinical School, he identifies with the Conservative movement and is the only one of the suburban Boston school’s graduates to join the movement’s rabbinic group.

Though Slater came to the rabbinate as the culmination of a decade of spiritual searching, he has thrown himself into interfaith and social justice work at the Alabama synagogue he has led for the past three years, spearheading the growth of a visitor’s center highlighting the Birmingham synagogue’s role in the civil rights struggle and developing close relationships with local Black pastors.

Nadia Cattan/ ¿Por qué la ciudad de Safed se considera santa?

Enlace Judío México e Israel – La ciudad de Safed es, junto a Jerusalén, Tiberias y Hebrón, una de las 4 ciudades santas de Israel, esto se debe a que sus calles y murallas son testigos del desarrollo de la Kabalá, el texto que encierra los secretos de la mística judía, y es por eso que pasaron por esta emblemática ciudad personajes del tamaño del sabio Rabino Isaac Luria, un ícono en la historia judía.

What to do after ‘slaughter the Jews’ is spray-painted in Arabic on part of the Western Wall?

“Jerusalem is a place where we sanctify freedom of worship,” said Deputy Mayor Fleur Hassan-Nahoum Hassan-Nahoum. “It is unbelievable that young Arabs are still being brainwashed by their school’s educators and surroundings to commit these acts of vandalism.”
