Dafnah a leftist Secular Jew ..Her Story and Her Turnaround after An Arab Spoke to Her
To mark the year since October 7, Danny Wise of Ami Magazine conducted 38 interviews focusing on the rebuilding efforts of the Israeli communities in the Gaza envelope. Among his interviews, he met with a woman named Dafnah from Kibbuz Re’im. She had been the cultural director of the kibbutz and was one of the organizers of the Nova Festival.
Touring the kibbutz, she showed him her charred house and the room in which her mother and children, Shira and Meir, were found murdered together. She is the lone survivor of her family. Wise writes that throughout the conversation he thought of Kristallnacht and the destroyed shuls. He asked her if the terrorists destroyed any shuls in the communities along the Gaza envelope.
Dafnah responded,
"Of course not. Not a single beit knesset was damaged in all 21 Gaza kibbutzim."
Wise didn’t understand, how could no shul have been attacked, no Sefer Torah burned?
She explained, "It wasn't a miracle. How could they damage something that doesn't exist?" Most of the communities didn’t have designated or active shuls. Dafnah, went on to explain, "If you want to understand the day after, you have to understand the day before.”
Wise writes:
Rabbi Shlomo Raanan runs an organization called Ayelet Hashachar which seeks to bring outreach to irreligious kibbutzim. He came up with the idea of a basketball game between yeshivah bachuram and the kibbutzniks of Reim.
The game was set to take place on Chol Hamoed, October 2, just days before the massacre. Dafnah had led the charge to cancel the game. To her, the match wasn't just a friendly contest; it was a Trojan horse, a way for religious influence to creep into the kibbutz. "I was furious," she told me. "This was outrageous. We didn't need outsiders telling us who a good Jew is," she said, pulling out her phone and scrolling through old messages. She showed me the texts she had sent to Rabbi Raanan, warning him not to bring his religious mission to her doorstep. "Cancel this game immediately," she wrote. "If you don't, we'll all block the entrance with our bodies." In the spirit of peace, Rabbi Raanan canceled the game.
But five days later, the massacre came. Just over the border, in the tunnels of Gaza, Dafna found herself held hostage, face to face with the forces that had torn her world apart. "I said to an older guard in Arabic, why do you torture me? For 20 years, I've made programs for Arab and Jewish. The Jews are your cousins." As she pleaded in the darkness for some recognition of their shared humanity, she was met not with empathy but with a cold dismissal.
"You are not a descendent of Ibrahim! You are not a Jew!" he spat. "You are a European colonialist who stole our land!
It was in that moment, Dafnah said, that something broke. Or perhaps, something began to be repaired. The accusation hit hard. Like many in the kibbutz movement, Dafnah had spent her life defining herself more as an Israeli than a Jew, and more dedicated to reconciling Arabs and Israelis than healing the divides between different groups of Jews.
Religion had always been secondary to her identity. But now, in the depths of that tunnel, being denied her Jewishness by a Hamas fighter, she experienced a crisis of self.
"I started screaming, Ana Yahudiun, Ana Yahudiun, I am a Jew I am a Jew!" The guards restrained her, taping her mouth
But for Dafnah, the internal shift had already occurred.
"For the first time in my life I saw my soul; I saw that I am a Jew. "All my life," Dafnah reflected, "I've been part of this community. We didn't see ourselves as Jews, in the traditional sense. When I traveled overseas and someone asked if I was Jewish, I'd correct them. “No, I'm Israeli”; I'd say.
But when he called me a colonialist, it hit me. He didn't see me as a Jew because I didn't see myself as a Jew.
Dafnah paused for a moment, her eyes wandering over the ruined landscape.
"Every Arab village has a mosque. Christian settlements build churches. And here, we have nothing. Nothing to say that we are Jews. And in that moment, realized that if we were going to rebuild, we needed to reclaim our identity." "I will tell you," Dafnah said, "I took upon myself the new beit knesset project. When we rebuild, our beit knesset will be the most beautiful structure on the kibbutz.”
On Simchas Torah, Dafnah lost her family, but she found herself. They died, but her Jewish identity was born.
Michael Bloomberg Turns His Back on the Jewish People Joins Soros and Donates $50m to Harris!
Former New York City mayor Michael Bloomberg has reportedly donated $50 million to back Kamala Harris
The news of Bloomberg’s financial support comes just one week before election day, with the polling between Harris and Donald Trump neck and neck. High-profile billionaires have been picking sides in the hotly contested presidential race - with Bloomberg joining George Soros in backing Kamala Harris while Elon Musk is very firmly in Donald Trump’s camp.
Bloomberg, known for donations late in the campaign season, is said to have reached into his very deep pockets after months of arm-twisting by uber-wealthy associates.
Gates is said to have donated $50m to the Harris campaign amid concerns over a second Trump presidency, the Times previously reported, though he has stopped short of giving a public endorsement. Conway donated at least $600,000 while Hoffman has given more than $9m to the super PAC.
A person familiar with the situation told the Times that Bloomberg met with Harris’s economic team to give feedback on her economic plan. The vice president then called Bloomberg to offer her appreciation for his expertise.
Bloomberg, 82, has endorsed and supported Democratic presidential candidates since 2012 and earlier this year donated nearly $20m to a super PAC – though that was supporting President Joe Biden’s re-election bid at the time.
The latest donation went to the Future Forward USA Action super PAC that backs Harris. Bloomberg has not commented on the multi-million dollar support.
So far this election cycle, he has individually donated more than $42m to Democrat candidates, according to federal disclosures. But even combined with the recent $50m donation, that is still considerably less than the more than $151m he gave during the 2020 election cycle.
The former mayor, who switched his party affiliation from Independent to Democrat in 2018, has a net worth of more than $104 billion.
In an attempt to defeat Trump in 2020, Bloomberg threw his name into the ring of potential Democratic candidates alongside Harris. He spent more than one billion dollars on the ultimately unsuccessful campaign.
News of the donation comes after billionaire Warren Buffett issued a statement saying he was not endorsing either candidate despite having previously backed Barack Obama and Hillary Clinton.
Hezbollah Commander Captured Alive Provides Extensive Intel Info

The IDF revealed on Tuesday that a Hezbollah commander surrendered to Golani forces about two weeks ago and provided valuable intelligence information to his interrogators.
While operating in southern Lebanon two weeks ago, Golani forces found a tunnel inside a Hezbollah command post in Ayta ash-Shab. Several terrorists were cornered in the tunnel, including Hassan Akil Javad, the commander of Hezbollah’s Ayta ash-Shab region.
The forces surrounded the military command post, and after the terrorists surrendered, they were captured, detained, and interrogated by field investigators from Unit 504 [IDF intelligence]. They were then taken to the unit’s detention facility for further questioning.
“During the interrogation of the terrorists, they detailed numerous terrorist infrastructures spread throughout the Ayta ash-Shab area,” the IDF stated. “These findings helped the forces on the ground to locate and destroy terrorist infrastructure in a targeted manner and prepare for threats in the area.”
Javad is the highest-ranking Hezbollah official to be captured since the war began in the north, Army Radio reported. As a basis of comparison, no Hamas commander of a similar rank was captured alive in Gaza since the war began there.
According to the report, the fact that the IDF revealed that a senior commander provided sensitive intelligence information is rare and is intended to undermine the terrorists’ trust in its commanders.

5,000-year-old site in Beit Shemesh offers clues to how cities developed in Israel... This Site Existed During Avraham Aveenu's Lfetime!
Archaeologists have unearthed a large settlement on the outskirts of Beit Shemesh dating from the early Bronze Age some 5,000 years ago, providing “a view of the beginning of the urbanization process in the Land of Israel,” the Israel Antiquities Authority said Tuesday.
Exactly who inhabited the site is unknown, but it may have been inhabited by the ancestors of the biblical Canaanites, said archaeologist Ariel Shatil, a graduate student at the University of Haifa and one of the directors of the dig, speaking to The Times of Israel by phone.
“It’s a very ancient period, and they didn’t leave much” in the way of written materials, Shatil said, adding that it’s possible that these were “among the people who developed into what we know as Canaanites, but we really don’t know.”
The Canaanites, portrayed in the Hebrew Bible as local antagonists of the Israelites as they were conquering the Land of Israel, are usually considered by archaeologists and historians to have been a civilization and culture that coalesced around 2,000 BCE, about a millennium after the recently excavated settlement.
The site, dubbed Hurvat Husham, “is exceptional not only because of its size, but because it reveals to us some of the first characteristics of the transition from village life to urban life,” the archaeologists said.
The findings at the site include a large public building, likely a “cultic worship site,” which contained a room with a unique collection of intact clay vessels, the IAA said.
Adjacent to and surrounding this building, the archaeologists found rows of large standing stones, which were set in place “even before this enclosed public building was erected,” the researchers said.
