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.
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.
