We love to find deeper meaning in the Bible and even in the stones of the Holy Land! Joshua takes
twelve separate stones to reflect the diversity and individuality of the twelve
tribes. Then each stone is gathered into one unified monument, reflecting the
ideal of “unity but not uniformity” of the Children of Israel. (from Rabbi
Shlomo Aviner). Even today, a key to Israel's success is the tremendous
diversity of talent, backgrounds and beliefs held by her citizens. Yet all unite
to create a productive and caring society that is truly a "light unto the
nations." Support Israel's national blood bank, providing life-saving care to
people of all faiths in the Holy Land.
