From me to you.
Dear readers, customers and partners,
This year’s Passover comes at a unique time, when three religions – Judaism, Christianity, and Islam – celebrate their holidays simultaneously – Passover, Easter, and Ramadan. This overlap highlights our shared values – freedom, hope, and renewal, and invites us to deepen our interfaith and intercultural connections.
This year, the holiday is incomplete, as long as many of our brothers and sisters are still held captive by Hamas, a year and a half after they were kidnapped. We celebrate the freedom of those who have returned from captivity, some of whom have returned to their families after over 500 unbearable days. However, we continue to hold in our hearts those who have not yet returned to us, and hope for their speedy return.
The rift and division in the nation continue to disturb my peace: the divisive style, the division in the nation, the distortion in the distribution of resources, the distortion in the obligation to conscript into the IDF and national service. All of this weakens us as a people and our ability to stand firm against our enemies. I look ahead with hope that in the future we will find a way to settle these disputes, because we have no other people and no other place to live. Our absolute freedom depends, to a large extent, on us.
On behalf of the “Hai Pa” editorial team, I wish you and your families a happy Passover, full of light, freedom, and hope.
Best regards,
Noga Carmi

Noga, thank you for the site and the articles!
Easter
Shame on you, why even include politics in a holiday greeting?
The rift and division are created by the left-wing media, which is concerned with including one public while evading it equally across the spectrum of society.
Happy holiday, Noga, and thank you for the blessings.
May all the kidnapped people be returned in some bold military action by our precious warriors, and we will not have to return terrorists to them, and the morale of our people will rise.
Happy holiday, live here, Vanga – thanks for writing from the heart
And the Iranian New Year, celebrated on March 21 by 300 million people around the world and in more than 10 countries, is also a holiday or a day of choice.
Thank you, Noga.
Happy holiday to you and your family.
Hoping for the freedom of the kidnapped.
In gratitude to the heroes of Israel who were injured or paid with their lives.
In gratitude to the IDF soldiers who risk their lives defending the homeland.
Happy Holidays, Noga, I wish that we will be whole in all respects and that the connections between us and outside will be faster and shorter, which will lead to harmony and prosperity.
Noga, you are adorable!!! Happy Holidays!!!
There is no woman like Noga in the world, a caring mother, a champion friend.
Happy Independence Day to all who live here.
It's worth dwelling on the unjust distribution of resources, as you define it, regarding mandatory conscription for the IDF and national service.
When do we read and hear in the media, for example, articles about real estate benefits and land subsidies for discharged soldiers, and is there discrimination based on the soldier's religion in receiving those benefits?
Are there those who receive land at a ridiculous price just because they are from the villages of the Carmel and the Galilee, while those who are liberated among our people in cities are discriminated against and do not receive the same benefits, if not in land, then in monetary value, for example?
It's just interesting that they also present to the public surveys among those who are about to enlist to see what the rate of those who enlist "for the defense of the homeland" would look like, even if the state were to ostensibly act equitably and cease to grant land benefits to any discharged soldier.
The criticism is mainly directed at our elected officials and the governments of their generations for neglecting this issue. But it is unfortunate that a large portion of the media outlets use the issue of military evasion in a biased manner and do not make a little more effort to present the whole picture.
