119 years ago, on October 22, 1905, the first secular Jewish school in the territory of modern Israel was opened.

Yom HaShoah, the Day of Remembrance of the Victims of the Holocaust and Heroism, holds a special place in the Israeli calendar.

On October 8, even prior to the disclosure of Israel-related news by several major media outlets, the Department of Aliyah Promotion within the World Zionist Organization, under the leadership of its North American director, Eugene Lekah, organized an emergency rally in New York City.
