Here is a special message from our President and Global CEO, Yael Eckstein, that honors the United States on July 4 and America 250 that was featured Blaze media:
As an American-Israeli, this holiday carries special meaning for me.
I grew up in the United States, where freedom is woven into daily life. Today, I raise my children in Israel, a country whose very existence is a miracle of biblical proportions. Each year on July 4, I am reminded how blessed I am to belong to two nations rooted in faith, resilience, and hope.
America and Israel are different in many ways, but their foundations are strikingly similar.
Both nations were built by people who believed in something greater than themselves. They trusted God, longed for freedom, and sacrificed for a better future.
America’s founders risked everything to establish a nation where liberty could flourish. Israel’s founders rebuilt a homeland after 2,000 years of exile, guided by ancient promises and unshakable faith.
Both nations understand that freedom is never guaranteed. It must be protected, nurtured, and passed to the next generation.
And both nations know that a country’s greatest strength lies not in its power, but in its values.
