Daily Letter 416: A Beacon

A Beacon

Kibbutz Manara stands on the Lebanese Border. Founded in 1943, this small Kibbutz, whose name means Lighthouse, has always seen itself as a beacon.

We visited last week. 75% of its homes have been incinerated as this one pictured below.

And yet, as one of its founders, Rachel Rabin, sister of the late Prime Minister, who just turned 100, recently said: “I have no doubt that we will return to Manara.”

In the thickness of these dark days, we see beacons of light beckoning. 

“For the good hearted, light shines even in darkness.” (Ps. 112:4).

Am Yisrael Chai.
