We in Israel just celebrated our 70th birthday and want to share a picture of something a friend took and sent me. It is very beautiful. I hope you will enjoy it. Isn't that beautiful. This is our string bridge. They decorated it for the holiday.

What is the birthday exactly? I am of the understanding that Israel has been a country for many thousands of years.

@Starmaiden You are right Lucinda, but, on May 14, 1948 we were made a State. According to our Hebrew calendar we have been around 5,000 something years. The date is the English date is when they will be moving the Embassy but our Independence Day here in Israel is celebrated by our Hebrew calendar. We do not have the same date each year.

@Hannihar Thank you for explaining that to me. It is very interesting. 5000 years is a long time indeed. You must have many holidays to celebrate all of your milestones.

I like it. There is a patch where people can walk above and bikes can go on it and I can take my scooter on it too.

God speaks to us, Gentiles, through Isaiah 40: "Comfort, comfort my people,” says your God. 2 “Speak comfort to Jerusalem; and call out to her that her warfare is accomplished, that her iniquity is pardoned, that she has received of Yahweh’s hand double for all her sins.” 3 The voice of one who calls out, “Prepare the way of Yahweh in the wilderness! Make a level highway in the desert for our God." Happy 70th Birthday, Israel!
