Brooklyn, N.Y.-born (in 1938) cartoonist Yaakov Kirschen made aliyah to Israel in 1971 and began drawing his “Dry Bones” cartoons in January 1973. He is a member of both America’s National Cartoonists Society and the Israeli Cartoonists Society. “Dry Bones” was internationally syndicated and ran in The Jerusalem Post for 50 years, being reprinted by The New York Times, Time magazine, The Los Angeles Times, The Wall Street Journal and other major media publications. The “Dry Bones” story has been covered by CBS, CNN, Forbes and many others.

Hamas’s atrocity has traumatized us all.

A country that enjoyed the luxury of constant squabbling has been welded together by a pogrom. Here in Israel?! The images have been seared into our brains. 

One of the signs of our newfound unity is ultra-Orthodox Jews, or haredim, enlisting in the Israel Defense Forces.

After we win this war, Israel will be a very different place.

Perhaps with a bit more “brotherly love.”

One hopes…
