The Land Of Israel Network

In this powerful Land of Israel Fellowship session from Israel, Jeremy Gimpel reflects on the emotional and spiritual weight of the days between Yom Hazikaron and Yom Haatzmaut, where national grief meets miraculous rebirth. Ari Abramowitz shares a deeply personal dvar Torah after missing a night of counting the Omer for the first time in years. What begins as a moment of failure becomes a profound spiritual insight: The Hebrew word for “wound” (nega) contains the same letters as “delight” (oneg). The difference is how it’s revealed. Through vulnerability, marriage, and faith, Ari explores how setbacks can become gateways to deeper connection with God, with others, and within ourselves.
