With the passing of Thanksgiving, our President and Global CEO Yael Eckstein continues the discussion of Hineni moments and how this holiday can take on the shape of one in an op-ed with The Jerusalem Post:
This is thanksgiving: not the absence of fear, not the comfort of easy answers, but gratitude inside the unknown because we trust that God walks with us.
This way of thinking has produced in Israel what is perhaps the ultimate Hineni moment: the thousands of soldiers, who without hesitation, have put their lives on the line to defeat the terrorists and save our precious Holy Land. This Hineni has thundered throughout our country for the past two years.
Yet there is another Hineni that is every bit as important as our own reaction to God’s call – the hundreds of thousands of our Christian friends around the world who have declared their own Hineni with their unwavering support for Israel and the Jewish people throughout this difficult period. This Hineni has been critically important to us, giving us the confidence to pursue the defeat of evil and ensure our eternal presence in the Holy Land. There are no sufficient words of thanks to our Christian friends for this powerful Hineni.
