The beautiful Israeli city of Netanya derives its name from the Hebrew word 
'natan' - to give. Back in 
1912, the famous American businessman Nathan Straus visited the Holy Land. But 
his return trip went awry, when he missed his boat back to America via England. 
That boat was the Titanic. Nathan felt such gratitude to the Almighty for 
sparing his life, that he devoted himself to generously building up the 
fledgling Jewish nation. He thus fulfilled the giving nature of his Hebrew name, 
"Natan." |
