More of this! We must come together and support the Jewish community against those who hate Israel, Jews, Western civilization, and America. Jew-hatred does not end with Jews. Now is the time to stand up!

@PatriciaHeaton shares something that struck her about Israel: the way people of different faiths and backgrounds work together in everyday life. ❤️ She recalls a simple but meaningful example. At a hotel, when Jewish employees take time off for Shabbat, their Muslim coworkers step in to cover their shifts. It's an ordinary moment that tells an extraordinary story about life in Israel. 🇮🇱 Follow @israelappday for more stories and conversations highlighting the people, culture, and history that makes Israel remarkable!

To understand Israel, we must understand its history. 🇮🇱 Israel's story stretches back thousands of years, with roots deeply intertwined with the history of the Jewish people and the religious traditions of Judaism, Christianity, and Islam. From the biblical story of Abraham to the emergence of Christianity and Islam, this ancient land holds extraordinary historical and spiritual significance for billions of people around the world. Follow @IsraelAppDay for more conversations celebrating Israel's history, heritage, people, and contributions to the world. Thank you, Bonnie, for coming on!

Visiting Israel makes the Bible feel tangible. 🇮🇱 @PatriciaHeaton reflects on experiencing the places at the heart of both the Old and New Testaments and seeing the land through the eyes of her Christian faith. For Christians around the world, Israel is more than a place on a map. It is a land deeply connected to the history, people, and stories that have shaped their faith for generations. Sometimes understanding Israel begins by experiencing it for yourself! Follow @israelappday for more stories about Israel’s history, heritage, and enduring significance.

There’s more than one way to understand Israel. 🇮🇱 @Bonnie_Glick highlights two important parts of Israel’s story: its deep religious significance and its remarkable culture of technology, entrepreneurship, and innovation. Israel’s history reaches back thousands of years, but its impact continues to be felt in the modern world from the technologies being developed there to the startups transforming industries around the globe. Appreciating Israel means understanding both its ancient roots and its modern achievements. Follow @israelappday for more stories about Israel’s history, innovation, and impact.

Jewish people represent a remarkably small percentage of the global population, yet their contributions to science, medicine, economics, and human progress have been extraordinary. From 1901 to 2023, Jewish laureates received approximately 25% of Nobel Prizes awarded in Physics, Chemistry, Physiology or Medicine, and Economic Sciences, despite making up only 0.2% of the world's population. Behind these achievements are generations of groundbreaking discoveries, scientific breakthroughs, and ideas that have helped shape our modern world. A small population. An extraordinary legacy of innovation, discovery, and achievement. Follow @israelappday for more inspiring stories celebrating Jewish excellence, innovation, and contributions to the world!

🕯️ On October 27, 2018, 11 Jewish worshippers were murdered at the Tree of Life synagogue in Pittsburgh. They were husbands and wives, parents and grandparents, friends and neighbors. They gathered for Shabbat, and never returned home. We remember their lives, their families, and the Jewish community forever changed by that morning. We must never become indifferent to antisemitism. Remembering is one way we make sure hatred does not erase their names.

Jerusalem is more than a city. It is a place where thousands of years of history can be seen, felt, and walked through. Benjamin Disraeli captured that power in his novel written in the 19th century, his words still speak to what makes Jerusalem unlike any other place on earth.

@PatriciaHeaton shares how her organization, October 7th Coalition, is bringing Christians and Jews together. From amplifying Israeli musicians and bringing Oct. 7th survivors into churches and schools to creating opportunities for genuine relationships and ongoing dialogue, O7C is making a big impact. Lasting solidarity is built through relationships, and those relationships begin by bringing people together. 🇺🇸🇮🇱

It starts with the Jews, but it never ends with the Jews.

How do you reach people who may never listen to a speech, attend a conference, or read an article? Through culture, music, and the arts! @johnondrasik explains why the cultural battle matters, and why music has the power to reach people in a way traditional advocacy often cannot. As John puts it, “That is how we get to hearts and have people maybe rethink the lies they’ve been told.” That’s why voices in music, entertainment, and the arts matter in the fight against antisemitism and in telling Israel’s story. 🇮🇱 Follow @israelappday for more stories of solidarity, courage, and support for Israel and the Jewish people.

Democracy is more than institutions and elections. It’s a commitment to freedom worth defending. Israel is a democracy in a region where authoritarian governments remain common, and Israel's right to exist has repeatedly been challenged by enemies committed to its destruction. Yet, Israel continues to hold elections, protect freedom of religion, support a free press, and give its citizens a voice in government.

Did you know a third of Americans were born after 9/11 or were too young to remember them? @Bonnie_Glick reflects on the 25th anniversary of September 11 and the millions of Americans who know that day only as history, not as something they lived through. Her point goes beyond remembering 9/11. It’s about remembering the unity, shared grief, and sense of responsibility Americans felt toward one another in its aftermath. We must make sure those lessons aren’t lost on the next generation. Some lessons are too important to forget.

Your computer probably has an Israel connection. 💻🇮🇱 For decades, Intel’s development center in Haifa has played an important role in advancing the company’s processor technology. Israeli engineers have helped develop processors and architectures that went on to power computers used by millions of people around the world. From a small country came technology with a global impact. It’s just one example of how Israeli innovation touches everyday life far beyond its borders!

What can a trip to Israel leave you with long after you return home? 🇮🇱 For @johnondrasik , it was a deeper appreciation for Jewish traditions, the importance of family, and the remarkable spirit of the Israelis he met along the way. Follow @IsraelAppDay for more stories and conversations celebrating the people and culture of Israel!

In Israel, challenges have often driven people to think differently, build boldly, and create solutions that reach far beyond its borders - from technology and medicine to agriculture and emergency response. That ability to turn adversity into opportunity is part of what makes Israel an innovation nation. Follow @israelappday for more 🇮🇱

Faith can be a powerful source of courage in difficult times. @PatriciaHeaton shares words from her Christian faith that give her hope, and remind her that when confronted with darkness, our responsibility is to stand for what is right. For Patricia, standing with the Jewish people and against antisemitism is part of that responsibility. As she puts it: “Our job is to be available to stand in the midst of it all, and stand for righteousness.” Thank you, Patricia, for all you do! ❤️
