Jerusalem Inspiration

Before going to war, the Children of Israel are first required to offer their enemies the opportunity to make peace. According to some, this applies even to the nations living in the parts of the Land of Israel promised to the Children of Israel. The land was given to the People of Israel as an inheritance, but first and foremost they desire to live in it in peace with their neighbors. How's that for morals of combat! This 4th of July we stand with our neighbor America as allies for peace.

Yesterday's Photo Trivia

Yesterday's photo featured Masada, the last fortress of Jewish freedom fighters protesting Roman rule. Its camps, fortifications and assault ramp constitute the most complete surviving ancient Roman siege system in the world. When the Romans finally breached the fortresses walls, they found a mound of dead bodies; rather than fall into Roman hands, the remaining heroes committed mass suicide.
