look down from your holy domain in Heaven,
and bless your people Yisra’el,
and the land that you presented to us
that you promised to our ancestors.
Take pleasure in your land
and bestow abundance upon it
from the goodness of your lovingkindness —
Give dew for a blessing
and cause beneficial rains to precipitate in their season
to satiate the mountains of Yisra’el and her valleys
and to water upon them, every shrub and tree and our plantings.
Make deep their roots and grow their crown
so that they blossom according to your will
among all the trees in Yisra’el
for blessing and for splendor.
And strengthen the hands of all our comrades
who toil in the labor of the holy Earth,
and make her desolate areas fruitful.
Bless, o Lord, their might
and may the work of their hands be favored by you."

Near Main Road no. 1 between Tel Aviv and Jerusalem, there is the memorial for those who during the War of Independence in 1948 succeeded in breaking through the enemy lines around Jerusalem, which was then under siege. You will see the memorial standing on the slope of a mountain. The memorial consists of a number of poles sticking out of the slope like the foundations of a bridge under construction on the road to Jerusalem. When driving eastwards (in the direction of Jerusalem), you can reach the memorial from Main Road no. 1 by turning northwards immediately after the junction Bet Meir but before the junction Neve Ilan / Abu Gosh. There is a parking lot very close to the main road. From there, you can walk upwards to the memorial.

group of religious settlements founded even before the War of
Independence. These were then taken and destroyed by the Jordanian army and were

Strip. An observation tower which dates from the War of Independence is at the
centre of the museum. This tower is the only remnant of the first religious
kibbuz "Sa'ad" (ñòã), which
was reconstructed 1 km away from this place. The whole museum is designed to
illustrate the settlers' attitude "faith and work (together with
fighting)". Exhibits on the ground floor serve to show this attitude: During
the foundation ceremony, a Torah scroll is solemnly carried into the kibbuz.
Other photos show people praying and participating in religious celebrations or
involved in hard building work. In a reconstructed command post, you can find a
rifle lying beside a small Torah scroll. On the first floor a film (also
in English) is shown, in which they thank God for His assistance in
the successful defence of the kibbuz. For instance they recognize that it
was due to God's help that the first shot fired at random by the only gun in the
kibbuz hit the command post of the Egyptians and caused them to retreat
overestimating the Israeli fire power and intelligence. On the top of the
observation tower from which you can see Gaza and the Gaza strip there is an
observation table. This table was designed to record the movements of the troops
of the enemy without having to violate the Shabbat commandment which forbids
writing: the times of the day were shown on the horizontal axle of the table,
the different kinds of troops displayed on the vertical axle. The observations
made were recorded by hanging rings on hooks, the number of rings on a specific
hook indicated, for example, the number of the tanks observed. To reach the museum
take the road 232 which branches off from the main road 25 (Netivot - Gaza).
Near the kibbuz Sa'ad, directly beside a petrol station, turn off towards Kfar
Aza. Several hundreds of meters further, turn left to take a narrow road. At

From the 1950th Ben Gurion invited every fortnight to the "Prime Minister's Bible Study Circle" in his office, attended by rabbis and important politicians.
Ben Gurion wrote a book about his access to the Bibel, also concerning the newly establisehd State of Israel: "From the Bible the Jewish people drew its faith in the return
to Zion ... the process of redeeming and rebuilding the land." (Ben-Gurion, David: Ben-Gurion Looks at the Bible (translated by Kolatch, Jonathan), London,
New York 1972, p 287-288.) - "In 1948 the establishment of a Hebrew state and the independence of Israel were declared, because our people were sure that their prayer would
be answered if they would return to the land" (p 289) - In the front blurb we learn: "This collection of addresses ... were presented before a select group of students of the Bible who met regularly, and were
called the 'Prime Minister's Bible Study Circle.'"), where the chapters of this book were
created.) - "The Book of Books has been our most faithful and instructive guide ... If we continue to walk in its light, both the nation and its leaders
will be successful." (p 294) He is also citing the Bible verse, which was on his desk: "'Let the wilderness and the thirsty land be glad, and the desert shall rejoice and flower
as the lily ... And the parched land shall be a pool ...' (Isaiah 35:1-7)"

This very interesting museum shows the history and achievements of the border
troops, which are made up of all nationalities living in Israel (including a
high percentage of Druzes). It gives you an idea of the new challenges due to
terrorism originating from the areas controlled by the Palestinian Authority.
Furthermore several films are shown there, available in Hebrew and English such
as the entire documentation presented. The museum was founded in commemoration
of all border troop soldiers killed in action including the Christian Zionist
Yonathan Vermeulen, who was killed on 29th December 2000.
Sergeant Yonathan Vermeulen grew up in the Christian moshav Nes Ammim
in Western Galilee. In 1975, at the age of four, he came to Israel from the
Netherlands together with his parents, who are Christian Zionists. An official
Jewish National Fund (KKL) poster advertising tree planting in Israel shows
little Yonathan planting a small tree. In 1990, as Nes Ammim accepts volonteers
only for a period of several years, the Vermeulen family returned to the
Netherlands. Yonathan, however, felt that he did not belong there; in fact he
was longing very much to return to Israel.
After several
obstacles had been overcome, the Israeli army Zahal fulfilled his dearest wish,
that is to serve as a regular Zahal soldier in a special border troop pioneer
unit which is exposed to particularly high risks. His job included the defusing
of Arab bombs. On 29th December 2000, Yonathan Vermeulen, together with another
soldier, had to defuse a roadside bomb in the Gaza Strip. This time, however,
Palestinian "Intifada" terrorists were lying in ambush, and as the bomb defusing
team was trying to render the bomb safe, they triggered off one bomb and then
another one. Thus 29-year-old Yonathan was killed immediately. He was buried in
the kibbutz Hanita, which just on the Lebanese border has made numerous
sacrifices for Zionism and the State of Israel for many years.
The funeral was held in a really ecumenical way: a Dutch catholic
priest held the service together with a military rabbi. The rabbi sang Jewish
prayers. Yonathan received all military honours from his comrades. The kibbutz
inhabitants said that they had felt honoured by the ceremony taking place near
their homes. Megiel, Yonathan´s mother, said: "this is the Holy Land. We have
always felt we have a special relationship with it; indeed after what has
happened, we have a kind of blood relationship which will never be destroyed. We
are proud of Yonathan." In the museum, feel free to ask for Yonathan´s personal
file. It is accessible to every visitor, and contains numerous moving pictures
and documents regarding his life.
The museum is open from Monday
to Thursday, from 9 am to 4 pm Entrance is free of charge. Fax. no. 06 6355749.

slopes of steep waterfalls (Ashdot)" (Joshua 12:1-3) Once this big photo was hanging in the entrance of the dining hall.
The former concrete factory Spancrete (ñôð÷øéè) of the Kibbuz was situated just beside the entrance gate and there were big boards in the factory hall

congregation; praise the Lord in the assembly of Israel. There is the little tribe of Benjamin, leading them, there the great throng of Judah's princes and there the princes
of Zebulon and of Naftali.").
In the Kibbuz Tel Qazir (úì
÷öéø ) at the south-east end of Lake Kinneret (Sea of
Galilee), there is a small museum, where the history of the kibbuz is
presented with the emphasis placed on the critical period from 1948 to the
conquest of the Golan Heights by the Israeli army in 1967; during this
period, the kibbuz had to survive while being continually pounded by the Syrian
artillery. In the kibbuz, you can see a photo taken after 1967 of a Syrian
artillery position overlooking Israeli territory including the Jordan valley and
Lake Kinneret. This photo is inscribed with a quotation from Ezekiel
34:27-28:"God speaks: And they shall be...in their land...and they shall dwell
safely, and none shall make them afraid." The museum is small, but has very
interesting exhibits. The history of the kibbuz reflects the difficult
beginnings of the State of Israel.
The museum can also be visited
by groups, but does not have fixed opening hours. You have to arrange your visit
beforehand with Mrs. Dvora Ortenberg (phone in Israel: (06) 675 68 09), who is also fluent in
English.

Galilee), there is a memorial for the IDF (Israeli Defence Forces). This
memorial is also intended to commemorate the enormous sacrifices the kibbutz En
Gev had to make until 1967, as at that time it was squeezed between Lake
Kinneret and the Syrian guns, which were only a few hundred metres away. Beside
the memorial, there is a sculpture showing a woman holding a child upwards, and
a Davidka, a mortar which was then built by Israel.
The wall of the memorial is
inscribed with a quotation in Hebrew from Nehemiah 4:12: "For the builders,
every one had his sword girded by his side, and so builded."

The balustrade beside it is inscribed with a quotation from Jeremiah 1:18: (God says:) "For, behold, I have made thee a defenced city, and an iron pillar, and brasen walls ."
The name of the town Rosh Pina, which was founded in 1879 as one of the first Zionist settlements, means “cornerstone”. This word is quoted from the
bible (Psalm 118,22) (See below chapter 2..). This quotation is written on the lower edge of the municipal coat of
arms (picture). You can see the coat of arms everywhere in the town.

In the Upper Jordan Valley north of the Lake Kinnereth lies the
Dubrovinfarm. The Dubrovins, a Christian family from Russia, immigrated in
the last century, in order to support Israel and the zionism. They built their
farm in the Hule Valley (big swamp) where most of the first settlers did not
survive. In this museum farm you can see a slide show (at least in Hebrew,
English and German), from which you can learn a lot about the biblical faith
of the first settlers as a basis for their hard work and perseverance and
about how zionism's efforts to cultivate and replant the Hule Valley were
blessed by God with success.
The Dubrovin farm is opened daily from 9 a.m. to 4 p.m..
You can reach the Dubrovin farm via the main road 90
between Lake Kinnereth and Metulla. Coming from the south, one passes the
junctions to Yesud HaMa'ala (right hand) and to Sede Eli'ezer (left hand)
driving further to the north. At the next junction, one finds among other signs
the sign of the Dubrovin farm and one turns right, off the road 90.

the old fortified police station Mezudat Yesha, also called Mezudat Koah
or in Arabic Nebi Yusha. Fierce combats took place there, during the War of
Independence. One wall of the memorial up there is inscribed with a quotation in
Hebrew from 2 Samuel 1:19: "The beauty of Israel is slain upon thy
high places. How are the mighty fallen." Recently a modern, very moving museum with a historical movie was added. At the memorial wall for the fallen inside the museum, the same Bible verse from 2 Samuel 1:19 is quoted.
HaReut Museum (Museum of Comradeship):
Website
This place also offers a
breathtaking view of the Jordan and Hule valleys and there is a nex path from the valley following the march of the fallen.
If You drive down directly from Mezudat Yesha to the Jordan Valley, You'll find at half height at the "Ran Outlook" the memorial for a fallen soldier with a Bible verse from Job 5:7: The strong and the good people "as sparks fly upward."
At the military cemetery of Qiryat Shmona You'll find at the memorial wall (wiki-photo) of the military cemetery a Bible verse from Jeremiah 31:20: "God says: "Though I often speak against him, I still remember him."
The memorial "Yad LaShiva" ("in memory of the 7"), which commemorates the 7 Israeli soldiers, who were murdered here by Syrian troops, is situated in the very south of the Golan Heights, next to Hamat Gader. You'll read on the memorial stone a verse from Isaiah 56:5: "I will give them within my house and its walls a memorial and a name better than sons and daughters. I will give them an everlasting name that will not cut off."
The memorial of the 7th brigade on the Golan Hights near Qazrin-Junction on the road 87 (In the Yom Kippur war, the Syrian troops advanced as far as this place) is inscribed with a quotation from Isaiah 66:15: "He (the Lord) will come with fire, and his chariots like a whirlwind."
The Memorial of the 188th ("Barak") Brigade is situated in the Golan Heights at Road 91 near the entrance to Nahal Gilbon . It is inscribed with a verse from a Hebrew song, citing Jeremiah 17:8: "A person is like a tree planted by water, seeking roots."
In the winery Bahat inside Ein Zivan You can read inside the tasting room in Hebrew and Englisch this verse from Leviticus 19:18: "You shall love Your neighbour as yourself."
Below mount Avital at road 98 opposite Quneitra You'll find the memorial of the tank brigade Koah-Nati (wiki-photo). There You can read the Hebrew sentence, written by Hanna Szenes: "A voice called me and I came; I came, because a voice called me." Hanna Szenes went back to Nazi-Europe by choice to save persecuted Jews. She wrote also a prayer-poem, which became a famous Israeli song: "Eli, eli" ("My God, my God"). Therefore the meaning of the sentence is, that someone heard God's voice and follwed him to defend human lives.
The memorial for the Israeli soldiers, who fell at the bunker system of Tel Faher, is situated in the north of the Golan Heights, just above kibbuz Shamir. There You'll find on the memorial stone 2 Bible verses from 2 Samuel: "They were swifter than eagles, they were stronger than lions." (1:23); "How are the heroes fallen!" (1:27).
On 4th February 1997 a heavy collision of 2 helicopters took place. The helicopters
crashed, blazing fiercely, near the Kibbuz
Shear Yashuv .
The text
from the prophets prescribed for the week when the accident happened was
Isaiah 7, 1-6. Shear Yashuv (a son of Isaiah after which the kibbuz
was named) is mentioned in the bible only three times. Isaiah 7, 1-6 also speaks
of Aramean (= Syrian) enemies ("the fierce anger of Rezin with Syria", verse 4);
in fact, the helicopters were to fight the Syrian-backed Hisbollah. Finally, the
text also mentions two smoking firebrands such as were the two helicopters when
they crashed. These correspondences between the accident and the a/m quotation
show that it was God's intention to comfort Israel with His a/m word in this
critical situation and to make clear that He will protect Israel whatever
happens. He also says in the a/m text with regard to the Aramean (= Syrian)
threat: "Be quiet! Fear not, don't be fainthearted for the two tails of these
smoking firebrands." (verse 4)
In fact, all the 73 soldiers in
the helicopter died in the accident, but by a miracle none of the kibbuz
inhabitants was even injured. Despite the terrible deaths of the soldiers the
kibbuz inhabitants showed their faith in God's help and protection by thanking
Him for having preserved all of them and by erecting in the place of the
accident a sign inscribed with the following quotation from Psalm 91:11:
"For he will give his angels charge over you, to keep you in all your
ways."
To find this place, enter the kibbuz Shear Yashuv; then turn
left approx. 100 m behind the gate, following the first street; about 50 m
further away, you can see the memorial on your left-hand side. To get to the
place where the other helicopter crashed, drive along the left side of the
cemetary of the nearby kibbuz Dafna.
The route to the crash site of the second helicopter is perfectly signposted with “Helicopter Memorial (wikimedia)”. Turn
off the main road 99 between the kibbuzim HaGoshrim and Dafna, then drive by the cemetery of kibbuz Dafna in order to arrive at an artistically fashioned area with
a creek and memorial stones for the soldiers killed there. The main memorial stone is inscribed
with a quotation from the bible: "They are joined fast to one another; they cling together and cannot be parted." (Job 41,17).
1 km west of Metulla there was for 22 years (1978-2000) a border crossing between Israel and Southern Lebanon, ruled by Maronite Christians, the ("Good Fence"-wikipedia). Here You can read written on stones on the right hand of the Israeli and Lebanese flags in Arabic and Hebrew Isaiah 2:4: "And they will beat their swords into plowshares and their spears into pruninghooks. Nation will not lift up sword against nation, neither will they learn war any more."
These Bible verses were all inscribed in public by Jews.
