July 4th is just around the corner, and Israel congratulates the USA on its
238th birthday. Cooperation between the two countries on issues such as
security, trade and technology remain strong. Continued collaboration is vital
to the future success of both countries.
The Israeli army trains
different units of the US Armed Forces each year in order to pass along their
knowledge of rescue work. Watch this great teamwork!
Yesterday's photo featured a
street in the 'Emek Refaim' neighborhood of Jerusalem. 'Emek Refaim' means
'Valley of the Giants' and is mentioned in the Bible as the valley of Refaim,
that begins a descent away from Jerusalem. This neighborhood is also called the
'German Colony' after German Templars that lived there during the 19th century.
It’s great to hear from you and make new
friends from all over the world. Please send me an email and let me know how you are enjoying
Jerusalem365 (don’t forget to say where you are from!).
Thank you for your emails from
Jerusalem. I am a Christian, I live in Queensland Australia. My husband and I
love Israel. We know you are God’s chosen people. God Bless You. Maree &
