Good morning. The following is a summary of items from last night's news broadcast.
*Joe Biden*, President of the United States, gave a historic speech for Israel, for justice, for all that is good. The leader of the world's most powerful nation spoke yesterday about the Jewish people's mission of being the light that dispels the darkness. He spoke emotionally about what Golda Meir once told him about Israel's secret weapon. "We have no other place in the world to go."
*Bruna Valeanu* was a new immigrant from Brazil who was murdered by Hamas. Yesterday evening a request for a minyan at her funeral at the Yarkon Cemetery quickly brought 10,000 mourners in a long line of cars. Bruna was a girl who came to Israel alone but was alone no more. Yoav Even reported about other lines, but these were composed of people waiting at Magen David Adom to contribute blood. And then Yuna Leibzon called in to the broadcast from a demonstration in Manhattan where 25,000 people came to show unprecedented, ear-splitting support for Israel.
And then a report arrived regarding *Yotam and Asaf Doktor*, owners of a Tel Aviv restaurant, who have been sending thousands of free meals to IDF troops in the field. But the day before yesterday at the Nevatim Airbase some of the soldiers were going hungry since the meals from the restaurant were not kosher. What was there to do? The brothers decided to quickly kosher their restaurant. "There was a disconnect in Israeli society ," Yotam explained, "so we decided that it was a matter of pikuach nefesh (life and death) to connect everyone together again."
And what is the name of their restaurant? The Brothers.
This above is not just a series of news items, but a demonstration of national unity and true brotherhood.
