Once again the temperature is rising in Israel and with pleasant, sunny days come the waves of enthusiastic tourists to drink coffee at one of Sheinken’s cafes, to see a new exhibit at the Tel Aviv Museum of Art, or just plainly to relax and rest on one of Tel Aviv’s gorgeous beaches.
Israeli life is more active with hustling and bustling than ever before. Whether

The summer sun has taken hold and is bringing people out of their winter hibernation in unimaginable numbers and believe me they are enjoying themselves.

In other news, immigration of North American Jewry is at an all time high. This past month nearly 300 immigrants who made Aliyah through the Nefesh B’Nefesh program arrived in Israel. For us in Israel, we are always elated when our fellow Jews decide to make the big move to Israel. We look forward to their participation and contribution to greater good of Israeli society. It is a shame that someone of them missed the opportunity to serve in the IDF, a foundational Israeli experience, but here at IMP we will have no problem helping them find authentic army products to satisfy their appetite for the army experience.
On a less sunny note, but no less heat-ridden, Israeli politics are flaring wide. Newspaper headlines with the latest in Israeli news are rolling hot off the presses. You may or may not know, but Israel is currently embroiled in the midst of another confrontation with its Palestinian neighbors. Two weeks ago, an Israeli soldier was kidnapped by a Palestinian terrorist organization. A tragic occurrence at a time when Israel is doing more than ever to usher in peace and stop terrorist attacks against its people. Here’s one of the recent headlines from the Jerusalem Post: Mashaal: Shalit will be kept alive and be treated as POW. We are deeply concerned about his condition and we hope for his quick return home and to his family. Fortunately for Shalit, the IDF is doing everything in its power to rescue its soldier.
In response to continued Qassam rocket firings against Israeli towns such as Sderot and Ashkelon as well as the kidnapping of Cpl. Gilad Shalit, the IDF has been conducting military operations in Gaza to thwart terrorist organizations from having the opportunity to continue their attacks against Israel. Additionally, the IDF is strategically attacking key points in the Gaza Strip in order to hinder the movement of Shalit outside of Gaza. Thus far, the Israeli government as well as the IDF are generating a tremendous effort to retrieve Galit without causing any Palestinian casualties and without the intention of re-occupying the Gaza Strip.
At such strenuous times, it is always important to create a solidarity among those living in Israel and those living outside of the country. If you wish to express connection to Israel and those who are fighting for its security and well-being on a daily basis, please feel free to look at the variety
