Steven Sotloff, the Jewish freelance journalist who was decapitated by ISIS, sent us all a message leading up to Rosh Hashanah. In a letter smuggled out by a former cellmate in May, he penned his thoughts to his family. A cousin read his words to the 1,000 mourners who attended the memorial service in Pinecrest, Florida.
"Live your life to the fullest… Everyone has two lives. The second one begins when you realize you only have one."
Friends this is why I am in Israel. I realized I had only one life and I wanted to live where I could get close to G-d in the most meaningful way.Love Yehuda Lave
I would urge you to watch this through to the end. No matter what your party affiliation, it is tough to
do anything but agree. PLEASE WATCH.

What a comparison:
The Palestinian Arabs of Gaza produce lethal missiles; dig tunnels to bring murderous terrorists into Israeli villages and kindergartens; produce suicide belts to murder and maim civilians, and bring back human sacrifices called human shields (in biblical times, the ancient Caananites used to sacrifice their children to the pagan god, Moloch).
The embattled and beleaguered Israelis, on the other hand, produce benefits for all humanity as shown below. Again, what a comparison:

Laser treatment for nail fungus. (Thanks to Atid-EDI) Gentle Pro YAG lasers from Israel's Syneron Medical can now treat onychomycosis (nail fungus) – affecting 10-12% of the population and especially dangerous for diabetics.

Asthmatics need to check Vitamin D levels. A study of 21,000 Israeli asthmatics showed that those with a Vitamin D deficiency were 25 percent more likely to have an asthmatic attack than those with normal levels. Vitamin D is known to play a role in regulating the immune system.
