What is the Secret to Israeli's Passionate Patriotism? -Jeremy Gimpel: The Land of Israel Fellowship

I did not know who I was married to until we moved to the arugot farm until we were pushed to our limits I didn't know who I was married to I'm married to the strongest person that I've ever met DEA is the most remarkable person on the planet as far as I'm concerned the most beautiful creation and I didn't know that I just thought I was married to a nice girl and all of a sudden seven months ago I was thrown off a horse I busted my head had to be helicoptered to the hospital two months of my life I don't really remember they're just sort of deleted from my memory I was in not exactly a coma but I might as well have been in a coma and all of a sudden I discovered a new side of theila a new side of her strength her loyalty and her giving and her lovingness and just what an amazing woman what an amazing mom what an amazing wife I would never have known who she was had we not gone through so many challenges it's not right to say that marriage is love what you feel at the beginning when things are exciting and I just love you and she loves me and we just love each other there needs to be a new word I think the word is marriage like when you go through so much together and you raise children together and all that that entails and the sleepless nights and the the ups and the downs and the dramas it's so much more than just love it is fullblown marriage and now it's like you start to learn who we are I start to learn who she is and I start to discover who I am and really that is what it is to live with God in your life it is a constant discovering of seeking after the truth and you think that the Jewish people love the land of Israel love is not a strong enough word we have been through so much with this land we've been praying for this land for 3,000 years we've come into the land we've been kicked out of the land we fought back to come in we were kicked out again just the unbelievable drama it's not right to say oh the Jews the Israelis they're very Patriots it's not patriotism there is a deep bond and love that can only really Express itself when it's been through so much [Music]
