The News on the Israeli Street
Palestinian terror in the last 24 hours . . .
On the Gaza border:
Even though we do not report it every day here at OneIsrael, Palestinian terrorists in Gaza continue sending bomb laden “balloon clusters” into southern Israel every day. Here are two photos from yesterday of the same cluster:
This balloon cluster was carrying an “airplane”.
A closer look at the airplane’s “cargo”:
Imagine living in a place where bombs like this one are flying overhead all the time.
In Judea and Samaria:
Two Palestinian terrorists attempting to infiltrate the community of Talmon were captured.
Palestinian terrorists threw Molotovs and “rocks” at Israelis at the Ofra Junction, the Nili Junction, Al-Aruv, Psagot, and at a least a dozen other places.
Palestinian terrorists set fires in multiple locations in the Rosh Tzurim Forest in Gush Etzion.
A stabbing was thwarted with a knife-wielding Palestinian terrorist was captured at the entrance to Ariel.
The news from Iran . . .
The Iranian government revoked the entry permits for nuclear inspectors into the country this morning. This refusal came on top of the Iranian announcement a few days ago that it has begun enriching uranium to 5% at its top-secret underground nuclear plant at Fordow.
Also this morning, the Iranians announced that three of their oil tankers have been attacked in the Red Sea.
TODAY’S BLOG:
MASA!
(OneIsrael thanks Ilan Levinsohn of Ynet News for elements of today’s blog)
An amazing event took place in Ra’anana last week.

2,500 young Jewish volunteers in Israel from all over the world met in what was described as “Israel’s largest-ever single gathering of Diaspora Jews volunteering and working in Israel.”
They were there because of MASA.

If you are unfamiliar with this remarkable organization which provides volunteers to such programs as a therapy farm in Bat Yam for children with special needs to would-be bloggers interning at Jewlicious to volunteer English teachers at schools throughout Israel (these are just 3 of 160 possible volunteer/intern possibilities), here is a description from its website:
“MASA Israel Journey is the leader in immersive international experiences in Israel for young adults (18-30). Our diverse portfolio of study abroad, internship, service learning, or Jewish studies programs help you grow—as a person, a professional, and a leader— while also developing a robust global professional network. Since its founding in 2004 by the Prime Minister’s Office of the Government of Israel, together with The Jewish Agency for Israel, over 150,000 young people from more than 60 countries have participated in Masa Israel programs.”
At the meeting last week, MASA Chairman Ilan Cohen expanded on this:
“MASA was born from (former Prime Minister) Ariel Sharon’s and the Jewish Agency’s vision, wanting Jewish young people from all around the world to spend a significant time period in Israel, regardless of whether they go back to their countries or decide to stay.
A young person who lives here for half a year or a year will not be the same as before. We want participants to live here – study, work or do an internship. A young person who has a job here, a bank account, friends, a person who travels the country or goes to an Ulpan to learn Hebrew – is someone of who truly knows Israel.”
MASA CEO Ofer Gutman added this:
“Today we are celebrating 15 years of MASA and some of the main things we celebrate today are the sense of community and diversity. There are participants from over 60 different countries here tonight, each coming from their own community.
When they see other Jewish young people, who come to Israel and are interested in Israel, they feel like they’re a part of something bigger and it empowers them.
One of our main goals is to empower them as leaders. We want the participants to stay in Israel, as roughly 30% of them choose to do, but we also want Israel to stay a part of the Jewish identity of those who go back to their communities and give them tools to become the next generation of Jewish leaders in their communities.”

A student from Malawi, who had worked with an Israeli health volunteer in his country battling AIDS, came up to us as we walked down the street in the UC-Davis Picnic Day Parade and wanted to carry the Israeli flag.
