His Name Is God!

I see Him in all His Creations...everywhere...anywhere...anytime
In the beauty of a flower, I do feel Him.
In the eyes of sad and ill people, I do see Him.
In a dog pain, I do hear Him.
Who do truly feel, see and hear me? 
God Does. And I'm thankful!

Humanity Hospital was built by a woman whose husband died for want of medical help.
                                     
"How did she achieve all this? She says: “Inner Strength.” She adds with rustic wisdom: “God in his infinite grace gave me a vision at the darkest moment in my life. From then on, my life had a purpose. I used whatever strength God gave me to make sure other poor people did not lose their loved ones for lack of medical attention.”

Summertime discovery about my Mizrahi heritage - Asal Ehsanipour

We must ensure that the simple intricacies that make up our culture — from the spicy food to the loud, animated nature of a simple discussion — is never lost.

The importance of openly embracing such a rich, vibrant culture extends beyond preserving the past. For fellow Mizrahi and Sephardi Jews, it’s important that we maintain our tradition for the present as well, as our heritage sustains our connection to Judaism and greatly contributes a colorful dimension to the larger Jewish communities we live in.
