Staying Real in Israel

"The Marty Roberts Show"

In today’s show, I describe the festivities currently taking place in Israel, where we are currently celebrating 58 years of independence

The celebration has powerful religious AND secular components, all of which are extremely important for the Jewish people.

This year’s events carry even greater meaning, given the current political situation in Israel, a government standing solid on its intentions to surrender further parts of the Land of Israel and ready to expel 10′s of thousands of Jews from their homes here. The shadow of last Fall’s expulsions and surrenders is still cast over a strongly divided nation.

Enjoy the show!

Yom HaAtzmaut 2006…Israel Independence Day…Happy 58th Birthday, Israel

The festivities are in full swing here, in Israel…Marty shares his experience of the Israel Independence Day/Yom Ha Atzmaut holiday from right where it is happening today…from the more mundane musical revues, pop concerts, fireworks and barbecues…to the joyful singing and prayers of thanksgiving taking place in synagogues everywhere in the Jewish State…

This year, marking 58 years of independence has particular significance to Israelis, given the tragedies of surrender and the exile of Jews in the past months…With the recent election results and the prospect of further disaster loomng on the horizon…all the more reason for prayer and thanksgiving on this wonderful day of celebration for the Jewish Nation…

Yom HaAtzmaut…

58 years since the establishment of the Modern State of Israel…

We have an awful lot to be thankful for…

Miracles on a daily basis, the biggest of which is the existence of Israel at all…

We thank our Creator for the opportunity to be here to experience the wonder and joy of the Jewish State of Israel

What better way to celebrate Israel Independence Day than with fireworks and barbecues?

Believing Jews add one more aspect to our celebration of Yom HaAtzmaut…

Prayer and thanks to G-d for our Homeland…

We don’t forget how lucky we are to have our own Jewish State…

But we still love the fireworks and the grilled meat!

It’s been a rough year…
We’ve witnessed the surrender of parts of our Land and the expulsion of Jews from their homes…

The worst may be yet to come…

We hope and pray that it will only get better, but nowhere is it promised that the path will be easy…that there will not be setbacks and disappointments…

Jews around the world are joining in the celebrations of Israel Independence Day…
But nothing can compare to the joy of experiencing the festivities right here, in Eretz Yisrael…

What are you waiting for?
