Ezekiel's Dry Bones

The Haftorah for Shabbat Chol HaMoed Passover is the famous story of the Dry Bones that come alive again.

Yaakov Kirschen is the American born Israeli cartoonist that has been viewed in the Jerusalem Post since 1973. Just as he helped to renew Israeli pride and a sense of humor despite the sadness of continued terror in the Jewish State, so the story of the dry bones in Ezekiel's message is particularly appropriate this year for our people. May Passover bring about new life in Israel, filled with peace and joy and all of the hostages returned to their homes.
