After years of living in the Los Angeles Valley, Dana had everything, but deep inside, she felt an inexplicable emptiness. Then she met Yehuda Danino and began her journey toward spiritual fulfillment through personal reflection (Hitbodedut).

This journey not only transformed her life for the better but led them to create something that would change the lives of thousands of others.

"After experiencing many miracles through Hitbodedut, including a major miracle that saved my son’s life, I felt a profound need to share this gift," Dana shares. "I knew I had to give back to the Creator for all the good He brought into my life."

The answer came in the form of a unique journal for Hitbodedut—a comprehensive guide, encompassing all the secrets Yehuda taught her over the years. It was written in three days and nights of continuous inspiration.

The journal provides precise guidance on when, where, and how to practice Hitbodedut, along with 40 structured writing pages. Each day includes spiritual insights tailored specifically to that stage of the process.

Thousands of Israelis who had never experienced Hitbodedut found through the journal a life-changing gift that led to a personal and deep connection with the Creator. Some even report that through this process, reality began to communicate with them through inspiring coincidences and Divine guidance.

"When I hear about more and more people starting to practice Hitbodedut because of the journal, I feel that it is the greatest gift I could give back," Dana concludes.

Additionally, Danino offers digital courses for prosperity blessings and overcoming internal struggles, as well as life-changing in-person workshops.

In my opinion, this journal is a gift for life.

An opportunity to pause the rush of life, focus inward, and connect to faith from a different place, not only through the prayer book.

In celebration of Aliyah Week 2024, the Jewish Agency and the Israeli ice cream network “Golda” are joining forces in a campaign that connects new immigrants from around the world to the Israeli public, with a launch of a special edition of ice cream flavors inspired by the countries from which the immigrants came to Israel.

This year, Aliyah Week takes on particularly moving significance, as, despite the events of October 7, over 31,000 new immigrants landed in Israel with the assistance of the Jewish Agency and the Ministry of Immigration and Absorption.

As part of the collaboration, Golda crafted six limited-edition flavors inspired by six of the more than eighty countries from which immigrants arrived in Israel this year:

Argentina – Dulce de Leche with salt, a tribute to South America.

United States – Peanut Butter and Strawberry Jam, inspired by the classic American taste.

France – Crème Brûlée with delicate caramelization, reminiscent of French tradition.

Ethiopia – Ethiopian Coffee, as a tribute to traditional coffee ceremonies.

Ukraine – Kiev Cake, with a sweet-bitter nutty taste.

England – Mint Chocolate, a refreshing British-style flavor.

During Aliyah Week, each branch will offer a different flavor from one of the countries, and in addition, ice cream packages will be branded with a QR code linking to the Jewish Agency website, where visitors can watch new immigrants share their personal aliyah stories, discussing the challenges and experiences that led them to connect their fates with Israel during this challenging period.

Available in branches and on the Golda network website.

Among the selected vegan dishes offered on Biga's vegan menu are: Vegan Breakfast, Mexican Tacos, Spicy Focaccia, Cauliflower Salad with Tangy Tahini, Health and Quinoa Salad, Vegan Pizza, Pomodoro Pasta, and Tokyo Stir-Fry Udon.

The new menu will be launched in early November and will be available year-round in all Biga branches nationwide.My husband and I had the chance to try the new menu and were very impressed! The food was delicious and very satisfying.

We tried the Pomodoro pasta, the burger, and the "Farmer's" salad, and we truly enjoyed every bite, even though we are not vegan at all.

In summary, a tasty, interesting, and enriching experience (for those not used to eating vegan food), and we will likely choose a healthy and delicious vegan dish on our next visit to Biga as well.
