On the other hand
There is a noticeable change in the air as we transition from the endless sunny days of summer to the gathering clouds of autumn, lowering temperatures and the uncertainties of winter.
Despite all the sophisticated technology now available, meteorologists still cannot predict with any degree of accuracy how much precipitation we can expect during the relatively short rainy season and whether it is going to be evenly distributed or concentrated in particular places.
Likewise, medical experts are also floundering around in the dark as they battle existing corona outbreaks and then just as they think it is all under control new variations appear. How many boosters do we need, are masks and quarantining a permanent feature of our lives, these are just some of the unknowns looming ahead? Add to this medical mix the fact that our old friend, the ‘flu, is making a comeback this winter season and we are in for a bumpy ride ahead.
Unaffected by all these uncertainties, Israel continues to forge ahead in a variety of fields.
THE FIGHT TO DEFEAT CANCER
Five Israeli initiatives are using state of the art technology & innovation to detect & fight breast cancer.
Israel is often accused of being slow to enact policies to protect the environment.
However in the last few years with a growing awareness of the need to protect not only the country but also the planet major steps have been taken to make up for lost time.
Here is one of the major success stories.
Who said that miracles don’t happen in our day?
Consider how Israel, re-established in 1948, an economic basket case at the time, facing simultaneous challenges of mass aliyah and the threat of Arab invasion, has managed in the span of a mere seventy three years to become one of the leading nations in the world in the field of space exploration.
If that is not a miracle, I do not know what is.
Imagine date seeds from Judea two thousand years ago producing ripe dates in the Land of Israel today.
This is no fable. It is actually happening right here and now. SKIP THE AD!
IDF TO THE RESCUE
Whether at home in Israel, behind enemy lines or in distant countries, the IDF’s elite search and rescue unit is always available and on standby to spring into action.

BEHIND THE SCENE
The physical health and welfare of IDF soldiers is of prime importance.
Just as vital is monitoring and dealing with mental health issues which given the stress faced on a daily basis can, if not dealt with in time, cause serious problems.
Learn how the IDF is tackling this critical aspect of military service.
