What Does Israel Mean to Us? - Yisroel Juskowitz - Bog

Leah is a sweet 11-year-old Jewish girl, in a school with many who are from different faiths. One day Leah comes home crying from school. She relates that some kids in her class said mean things to her because of what Israel is doing. Her Daddy sits her down and explains her in simple terms Israel's history, right from the birth of the State up till the modern day. He explains to her the difficult situations that Israel is forced into, and how things are not always as they appear. Leah's Daddy patiently explains to Leah some not well-known facts about the situation, and how Israel is built on wonderful moral values and truly wants peace with all its neighbors. Daddy also teaches Leah the importance of the Land of Israel in Judaism and its deep connection to our heritage. Leah emerges with a strong sense of Jewish identity and pride for the State of Israel.
