After years of dreaming about Israel, the moment to go home had finally come. They left behind their comfortable life in Boca Raton, their community, their careers. They packed up four young children, ages 3 to 10, and moved 6,000 miles to a country in the middle of a war. "It's something that was always on our minds, and that is to make Israel our home," Jeffrey explains. They're not alone. Since October 7, 2023, more than 7,000 Jews from around the world have made aliyah, choosing destiny over safety. Now Jeffrey is spearheading projects with Israel365 Action, building partnerships between Christians and Jews that strengthen the Jewish presence in the Land of Israel. We are living in a time when the…...

According to that view, rainfall is not only a blessing but a signpost. In this week's storm, the difference between the two nations was stark. Israel's challenge was abundance'how to keep roads open, rescue stranded residents safely, and use every drop to replenish reservoirs. Iran's challenge was the absence of rain; vanishing lakes, collapsing dams, and a regime telling its capital city that evacuation might be necessary. Iran, meanwhile, continues to pray for rain. Officials stand before half-empty reservoirs and warn of rationing. Citizens buy home water tanks. Government buildings close during heat waves....
