850,000.

That's the number of Jewish refugees from Arab countries & Iran who were forced to flee the countries they called home for hundreds (& even thousands of years).

They left behind homes, businesses, synagogues & belongings.

For over 2,500 years, Jews continuously lived in North Africa, the Middle East & Gulf region.

In the 1930's, Jews began to experience large waves of discrimination.

The situation for Jews became increasingly dangerous following the adoption of the UN Partition Plan in 1947.
Jews in Iraq, Egypt, Syria, Yemen & other countries were targeted in violent pogroms which continued in to the 50s & 60s.

What took place in Aleppo, Syria after the adoption of the Partition Plan mirrors the experience of Jews across the region.

#Hanukkah isn't the only miracle we're celebrating today.

Today, November 29th marks another miraculous moment in the history of our country 🇮🇱.

On this day in 1947, the @UN voted on establishing what would be become the modern state of #Israel. Image
While our modern history begins with the historic General Assembly vote on a wintery #November day, the history of the Jewish people in the land of Israel began 3,000+ years ago.

This was long before the battle of the #Maccabees & the battles that Israel would fight to survive.
33 countries voted in favor of the resolution, 13 against, 10 abstained & the rest is history.

@benandjerrys likes to brand itself as a social justice company with flavors like "JusticeReMix'd & "Empower Mint."

But when it comes to promoting social equality and diversity in #Israel, that doesn't seem to be the case.

Here's what we mean ⬇️: Image
@BenJerrysIsrael buys the majority of its milk from local Israeli farmers.

Shutting down the factory would hurt the farmers and their families. Image
Most of the workers at the @BenJerrysIsrael factory, live in or near the Gaza Envelope.

They live under constant rocket fire from Hamas and other terror groups in Gaza & are one of Israel's most vulnerable populations. Image

Findings like these coins from the Jewish Great Revolt in 67-68 CE & the Bar Kochba Revolt are a small reminder of our long history in the Land of Israel.

There have been quite a few major archeological findings in Jerusalem recently, which we will continue to share.
Let's test your knowledge of Jewish history.

First question:

What was the Great Revolt?
