After a fairly busy week (mostly with studying, not to mention attempting to learn Hebrew…more updates about that later) here are two video’s from two events highlighting Israel. The first video is from Israel 21st Century which highlights world/corporate leaders at the Facing Tomorrow Conference. Many of these individuals seemed to be very impressed...

(Hat Tip: IsRealli.org) In the American city that never sleeps (that’s New York for those of you who do not know), CBS-TV highlighted the Jewish nation in one of its Eye on New York videos. The video highlighted Israel’s struggles during its creation as a state, as well as celebrating Israel’s 60th birthday. Note: Next time Dan Gillerman...

In order to help bolster Israel’s defenses against “less than friendly” neighbors (both near and far), President Bush is giving Israel a powerful new radar system that should compliment its missile defense shield quite nicely.

(Hat Tip: Harry Rubenstein) While there have been several video’s displayed here at IsraGood portraying the Jewish state, this by far seems to have been the best one made.

While there have been several Israeli musicians profiled on IsraGood who help the world connect to Israel (or at least present a new image of the Jewish state), it looks as if one Israeli is using her music to help Jewish Americans reconnect with their homeland within the city that never sleeps.

When it comes to avoiding heart attacks, a healthy diet and even good old fashioned exercise can help keep ones heart happy, healthy and (most importantly) beating at strong rhythm.

It looks as if the government of Israel has decided to celebrate International Aliyah Day with 400 Jewish immigrants who decided to leave their former homelands in order to settle within the holy land.
