 “Shana tovah Israel....

ISRAEL'S ROSH HASHANAH GOOD NEWS: With the holiday season fast approaching and with the Jewish year coming to an end, the Central Bureau of Statistics has released its annual tables analyzing Israel's population. Israel has 8.9 million residents, 89% of whom claim to be happy with their lives. These numbers include approximately 6.6 million Jews (74.4%), 1.8 million Arabs (20.9%) and a half million (4.7%) belonging to other minority groups. Throughout this past year alone, 25,000 new olim (immigrants) moved to Israel and 175,000 babies were born here. The State of Israel contains 2.51 million households. The start-up nation is not shy about its high-ranking education systems, especially with the recent report in which both the TechnionUniversity in Haifa and the Hebrew University of Jerusalem were ranked in the top 100 universities in the world. Throughout the country, there are 63 institutions of higher education with 313,000 students. (J.Post) 

         “They will be like a well-watered garden, and they will sorrow no more. Then young women will dance and be glad, young men and old as well. I will turn their mourning into gladness; I will give them comfort and joy instead of sorrow. I will satisfy the priests with abundance, and my people will be filled with my bounty,’ declares the Lord.” 
Jeremiah 31:12-14
