to Klal Yisrael is the gift of time.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>A
second is as precious as a diamond, but we can make the mistake of thinking
that it is just a piece of glass.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>In
America there is a common phrase “ Time is Money”.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>According to Chazal, the phrase must read “Time
is Life”.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>One of the biggest problems we
have as human beings is that we do not really understand the true value of time
and how much it is really worth. In this piece, we will explain how it is
possible to turn five minutes into more than eight million physical years as we
know in this world.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>If this calculation
is correct, as we will see shortly, each minute or sixty seconds has a
potential of one and a half million years.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;">

Story of Rabbi Yochanan Banon Z”l<o:p></o:p></span></span></div>

<div class="MsoNormal" style="margin: 0cm 0cm 10pt;">
<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;">The following is an incredible story of a simple Jew who was
picked from the heavens to go on a journey to teach and inspire Jews to read
and learn the Holy Zohar. At first it sounds to amazing to be real, but when
the evidence is gathered, it gives one the hope that amazing things do happen
from time to time, in order to wake us up to our real purpose in life.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>Rabbi Yochanan Banon who, at first was just Yochanan,
a simple Jew serving in the Israeli Police Force as an Undercover Drug Ring Officer.
Yochanan was in charge of setting up sting operations in order to ward off drug
dealers from smuggling drugs in to the State of Israel and thereby corrupting the
Jewish Youth. <span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>Approximately 12 years ago
(2001) Yochanan was diagnosed with severe depression and this caused him much
hardship in being able to maintain a normal work and social lifestyle. <span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>At the same time Yochanan recalls of having
repeated dreams with his ancestors who were beckoning him to change his
lifestyle. “Until when?” they would remark.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;">
</span>Although Yochanan revered his ancestors he did not pay much attention to
the message conveyed by them in his dreams. <span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>Finally, Yochanan became so depressed that He
started to seek out, how to do teshuva. <span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>He realized the He could not go on suffering
and needed help from a higher source, but what should He do? All He knew was
Shema Israel and nothing more. Yochanan then decided to contact a friend that
He considered to be religiously inclined.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;">
</span>After hearing his plight, Yochanan’s friend had recommended that Yochanan
go and speak to Rabbi Nissim Peretz Z”L who was then his friends Rabbi.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>When Yochanan met with Rabbi Peretz, He asked
the Rabbi to guide him on how to do teshuva.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;">
</span>Mysteriously Rabbi Peretz told Yochanan to read only the Holy Zohar,
without depth just to surface read. Yochanan then said to the Rabbi, “How will
this help me when I don’t even know any basic Halachot (laws & customs)”?
The Rabbi was adamant and replied to start with the Zohar and everything else
will come.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>Frustrated, Yochanan heeded
the instructions of Rabbi Peretz who was a revered Torah sage and Mekubal. And for
the next couple of months Yochanan did just that, read the Zohar. After 2 month
or so, Yochanan became extremely frustrated due to the fact that He did not
understand a word of the Zohar and because He still did not know any basic
Halacha in order to guide himself toward teshuva.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>His depression then only increased and
Yochanan began to beseech Hashem repeatedly for salvation where He would spends
days and nights crying from the depths of his heart. He begged Hashem to take away
the depression which He could not tolerate anymore. </span><span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;">One night having temporarily giving up on the Zohar,
Yochanan decided to read the Gemara instead.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;">
</span>After a few unsuccessful attempts Yochanan fell asleep in sadness and
had the following dream. </span><br />

<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;">In the dream, Yochanan was taken up to Shamayim (Heaven) and
was introduced to Rabbi Shimon Bar Yochai, the Tanaic sage who authored the
Holy Zohar over 2000 years ago. After having what seemed like a very long
discussion, Yochanan was then led to meet his Grandfather who had asked for Yochanan
to partake in some food which ended up being, pages from the Zohar. When
Yochanan woke up from his dream, he was a changed man with a new future. Yochanan
then realized that his dream was not just a vision or message but an infusion (Matrix
Style) on the knowledge of all the Zohar and Holy Kabbalistic teachings. Unbelievably
when Yochanan opened up the Zohar now He not only understood the surface of the
Holy texts meaning, He also could see deep within and extract its inner most
secrets. <span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>Dumbfounded by this revelation
Rabbi Yochanan became a Holy Mekubal overnight and began a new career in
teaching and distributing the holly teachings of the Zohar. For the next ten years
the Rabbi Yochanan worked endlessly to fulfill what He considered the wishes of
Rebbi Shimon Bar Yochai from Heaven.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;">

<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;"></span><br />
<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;"></span> <span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;">Rabbi Yochanan established the website called, </span><span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;">“<a href="http://www.zohar-ahaim.com/PAGE24.asp">living with theZohar</a>”</span><span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;"> and had

</span><span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;">As miraculous as this would be if it would end here, it
doesn’t.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>After 10 years of hard work and
self-sacrifice towards the recognition of the Holy Zohar Rabbi Yochanan Banon
had a medical crisis. </span><span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;">In September 2012 Rabbi Yochanan was rushed to emergency ward
of Tel Hashomer Hospital after having what seemed to be a major stroke. In the
emergency room after several attempts to revive rabbi Yochanan the doctors called
it quits and pronounced him dead in the emergency room. Miraculously after 3
minutes of being pronounce dead rabbi Yochanan wakes up and signals the doctors
the He is indeed alive. Astounded by what just took place the doctors rush to
restore rabbi Yochanan’s oxygen mask and other monitoring equipment. Several months after this episode, Rabbi Shalom Yehuda Gross,
(The Holminer Rebbe) had heard of Rabbi’s Yochanan’s condition and near death
episode and decided to do a Bikkur Cholim in the hospital. Astounded by rabbi Yochanan’s story the Holminer Rebbe then
made several other visits to Rabbi Yochanan’s bedside in order to get the complete
story with all the details since Rabbi Yochanan was too weak to endure long
visits.<o:p></o:p></span><br />
<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;">
It was during these special recorded visits by the Holminer
Rebbe that to bedside of Rabbi Yochanan that we able to record and compile all

took place 10 years prior) but also detailed account of his clinical death experience

Patach Eliyahu, but do not actually explain <i style="mso-bidi-font-style: normal;">why</i>
we should read it. In this introduction, we hope to give a perspective on why
it is important to say before tefilah, and in the process, to discover
something very important about the tefilah and how we are really meant to pray.

<span lang="EN-US" style="color: black; font-family: "Garamond","serif"; font-size: 14pt; mso-bidi-font-family: "Lucida Grande";">The first thing to know is
that there are basically two approaches to tefilah. One is a very common method
of praying, though there are some problems with it, while the other is really
the proper way of praying. To understand further, we must also break down a
tefilah moment into three components and then look at them in context of the
two approaches. They are: the person praying, the situation in the person's
life, and Hashem. <o:p></o:p></span>

<span lang="EN-US" style="color: black; font-family: "Garamond","serif"; font-size: 14pt; mso-bidi-font-family: "Lucida Grande";">The Pilzno Rebbe, Rabbi Yosef
Singer, zt’l, would say that we really only experience two types of feelings in
life – good and not good. When we find ourselves in a not good experience, we
turn to Hashem, using the most common method of tefilah, asking one of the
three following requests: To stop the experience, to change the experience, or
to prevent the experience from happening (if it has not yet happened).<o:p></o:p></span><br />
<span style="font-family: Times New Roman; font-size: small;">
</span><br />
<span lang="EN-US" style="color: black; font-family: "Garamond","serif"; font-size: 14pt; mso-bidi-font-family: "Lucida Grande";">This is a fine and natural
reaction, but there is a problem. Why? If we think about it, we are approaching
this type of prayer with three pre-suppositions: 1. Hashem changes His
mind<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>2. I can change Hashem's mind<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>3. This experience should change without me
having to change. This form of davening is, in essence, bribery and

</span><span lang="EN-US" style="color: black; font-family: "Garamond","serif"; font-size: 14pt; mso-bidi-font-family: "Lucida Grande";">In contrast, in the other
type of tefilah, the more Kabbalistic form, the same components - the person,
the situation, and Hashem - are there, but the difference is that you do not
ask Hashem to change because <i style="mso-bidi-font-style: normal;">Hashem does
not change</i>. Hashem has, is, and will always be the same, and I cannot
change Hashem's ‘mind’. Ok, so then what am I praying for?<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span><o:p></o:p></span></div>

</span><span lang="EN-US" style="color: black; font-family: "Garamond","serif"; font-size: 14pt; mso-bidi-font-family: "Lucida Grande";">You are actually praying that
<i style="mso-bidi-font-style: normal;">you</i> <i style="mso-bidi-font-style: normal;">should change</i>. If I go through an unfortunate situation, I ask
Hashem to help me change. The Kabbalists explain that Hashem loves us, wants to
give us good, and everything that Hashem sends to us is for the best. Therefore
when I come to tefilah with the pre-suppositions that Hashem does not change, I
cannot change Him, and everything that He does stems from love, I can then
access the level of asking Hashem to please change ME so that I can see the
situation for what it really is, an expression of Hashem's love. That is what I
want to be praying for. <o:p></o:p></span></div>

a higher level of consciousness, to see everything from the side of Hashem’s
Chesed (kindness), Ahava (love), and Malchut (Rulership). Here is a story that
illustrates this beautifully: <o:p></o:p></span></div>

Rebbe Elimelech of Lizhensk, found himself in a town that was suffering from a
terrible plague. He fasted for three days to try to stop the plague, to annul
the decree from Shamayim. When he eventually passed out from hunger, the Magid
of Mezritch, his Rebbe, came to him in a vision. <o:p></o:p></span></div>

Rebbe why there is such a bad situation, this plague. The Magid answered that
from his vantage point he could not see clearly, so he had to go up higher in
the worlds. So the Magid went up, then came back down, and said that everything
seems fine. The Noam Elimelech said, "I do not understand. Things are <i style="mso-bidi-font-style: normal;">not </i>good here." The Magid stopped
and thought for a while and answered him, "In the World of Truth, we see
the bigger picture, that Hashem loves us and that this plague is really part of
a much broader plan. But from your point of view, in the middle of the
situation, it does not look good at all.”<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;">

from his sleep, now a changed person, realizing that there was a bigger story
going on, even though he did not understand it. With that realization he began
dancing, and within a few minutes, the whole community started to dance and the
Heavenly decree was broken. This all happened because he changed <i style="mso-bidi-font-style: normal;">himself</i>.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;">

we are a vessel, a kli, that receives the shefa (energies) of Ohr Ain Sof that
Hashem is always sending down to us through the sefirot. The sefirot are like
taps, so to speak, which Hashem opens corresponding to whatever state we are
in. <o:p></o:p></span><br />
<br />
</span><span style="font-family: Times New Roman;"><span lang="EN-US" style="color: black; font-family: "Garamond","serif"; font-size: 14pt; mso-bidi-font-family: "Lucida Grande";">From this, we can see what
happened with the Noam Elimelech. As he shifted his consciousness from katnut
(smallness) to gadlut (greatness), the shefa that was coming down upon him
changed from a lower to a higher level, thus his simcha overflowed to the
extent that it affected others and changed the entire fate of that town. <o:p></o:p></span><br />
</span></div>
<span style="font-family: Times New Roman;"><span lang="EN-US" style="color: black; font-family: "Garamond","serif"; font-size: 14pt; mso-bidi-font-family: "Lucida Grande";">The lesson here is that
though we may not know what is going on, or why, just knowing that there is a
bigger picture, and putting the effort into seeking the positive, brings a new
quality of shefa down to us which instantly changes the situation. We can also
say that when we are in mochin d'katnut (constricted consciousness), we lose a
grip on the true nature of a situation, but once we come to a broader
consciousness, we can have the ability to properly deal with that same
once-unclear situation. Certainly we have all experienced this in our lives.<o:p></o:p></span><br />
<br />
<span lang="EN-US" style="color: black; font-family: "Garamond","serif"; font-size: 14pt; mso-bidi-font-family: "Lucida Grande";">This can also be understood
from a simple perspective as well. How do we explain that two brothers can both
survive a Holocaust, one coming out of it bitter while the other one comes out
emotionally whole and strong? <o:p></o:p></span><br />
<br />
<span lang="EN-US" style="color: black; font-family: "Garamond","serif"; font-size: 14pt; mso-bidi-font-family: "Lucida Grande";">The bitter brother might have
prayed to change the situation, but when it seemed his tefilot were not being
answered, he went into a state of blamed either himself, somebody else, the
situation itself, or even Hashem. When a person blames, he ends up very bitter
and people do not want to be around him.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;">
</span><o:p></o:p></span><br />
<br />
<span lang="EN-US" style="color: black; font-family: "Garamond","serif"; font-size: 14pt; mso-bidi-font-family: "Lucida Grande";">The other brother, in
contrast, knew and lived with the proper beliefs that “Hashem loves me,
everything that He does is for the best, I may not know the truth of what is
going on, but I can learn at least one good thing out of the situation." <o:p></o:p></span><br />
<br />
<span lang="EN-US" style="color: black; font-family: "Garamond","serif"; font-size: 14pt; mso-bidi-font-family: "Lucida Grande";">So, first he looks for one
positive way of viewing the situation. Then he then thinks about it and
internalizes it so that it becomes wisdom. Now from that wisdom he can make
better choices, and from those better choices he can have more definition and
control over his direction in life. Of course, Hashem may not want him to go in
that direction that he thinks is correct, but he will surely go through the
process again if he needs to change. <o:p></o:p></span><br />

<span style="font-family: Times New Roman;">
</span><span lang="EN-US" style="color: black; font-family: "Garamond","serif"; font-size: 14pt; mso-bidi-font-family: "Lucida Grande";">And we say in two verses:
"Chochmat adam tair panav" – “A person’s wisdom illuminates his face”
and "Chochmat tichieh" – “Wisdom will gives life.” When a person has
this chochma, when he is davening that HE himself should change, and he himself
should open up his eyes to see what is going on, he in fact, opening different taps
from different levels upon himself. Hopefully we now we have a better
understand of the two forms of tefilah - the problematic form, and the
Kabbalistic form, and which one will truly help us grow. <o:p></o:p></span></div>

</span><span lang="EN-US" style="color: black; font-family: "Garamond","serif"; font-size: 14pt; mso-bidi-font-family: "Lucida Grande";">It is actually a description
of how the shefa comes down to us through the sefirot, and is thus trying to
connect us to the Kabbalistic form of tefilah, which is to change the self, to
raise our consciousness. <o:p></o:p></span></div>

Sefaradim and Chassidim are careful to say it, to remind themselves that when
we pray, we are not praying to Hashem to change His mind, to change the
situation, or to hold back the situation. We are saying, "I know Hashem
does not change and I know that everything Hashem does for us is from love,
ahava.”<o:p></o:p></span></div>

the Patach Eliyahu which is telling me that if I know how to pray properly, the
right shefa will open up on me and that will change the situation.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>This is a way that we can understand why the
Patach Eliyahu is located before tefilah and why it is so important. <o:p></o:p></span></div>

<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">The great and holy Tzaddik and Mekubal, Rabbi Yehuda Leib Ashlag of blessed memory foresaw the coming of World War II 20 years </span><span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">in advance. He was then only in his 30's, and he began an effort to alert all the leading Rabbis and Roshei Yeshivot in Poland of the </span><span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">impending decree. He warned them that there was a very severe decree already signed in the Heavens against </span><span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">the Jewish people, and that a huge portion of the Jewish people were going to be erased from the world, G-d </span><span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">forbid. He told them that just like the Ramchal (Rabbi Moshe Chaim Luzzatto zt"l) had averted terrible </span><span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">decrees in his time by setting up all day long Zohar learning, so too the same had to be done in order to </span><span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">avert this terrible decree that was on the horizon. </span><span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">He called for every Rav and Rosh Yeshiva in Poland to begin telling their congregations to start learning </span><span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">the Holy Zohar, however, they did not pay attention to his words. As we know, soon after this World War </span><span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">II began, and 6-7 million Jews were eventually killed. </span><span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">As the war was being fought, there was a fear that it would spread to the Holy Land and that the evil Hitler, may </span><span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">his name be erased, would also succeed in anihilating all the Jews living there. Rav Ashlag was then busily involved </span><span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">in translating the Zohar into Lashon Hakodesh (Hebrew) so that every Jew would be able to learn and understand it. </span><span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">He believed firmly in the promise of Rebbe Shimon bar Yochai, that with this book of the Zohar, we will be redeemed </span><span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">from our exile. He said that on the same day that the first volume was printed (of his translation and commentary to </span><span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">the Zohar known as 'The Sulam'), that wicked man had a big downfall and the war was on it's way to beingover. This </span><span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">revented him from succeeding in reaching the Holy Land. </span></div>

<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">Dear Rabbis and Roshei Yeshivot, we are now calling out to you! </span><span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">We are begging you to aouse yourselves and your communities to begin learning the Holy Zohar. You</span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">are the leaders of Am Yisrael, and the responsibility of the nation rests upon you. </span><span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">We have started a new plan to try and complete 1000 siyumim of the Holy Zohar every single Rosh </span><span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">Chodesh (The first one to be held on Rosh Chodesh Nissan, G-d willing). Anyone who would like to </span><span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">register and take part in this effort shouldemail <a href="mailto:theholyzohar@gmail.com">theholyzohar@gmail.com</a> to sign up. We have now </span><span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">printed the entire Zohar in 70 pocket sized volumes, so that 70 people can each take one of the volumes </span><span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">and with only about 4 minutes of reading a day, complete along with thousands of others, the entire</span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">Zohar Hakadosh. It is well known, that when a sefer is broken up into smaller parts and learned in a </span><span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">group (such as is done with Tehillim, Mishna, and Shas) each member actually receives the reward as </span><span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">if he had learned the entire thing. Here in this instance, since we have a goal to reach 1000 siyumim, </span><span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">each member will receive the reward of 70,000 siyumim of the Zohar (since each siyum will require</span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">70 participants). With a few short minutes a day, one can gain unfathomable reward and with G-d's </span><span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">help, we will succeed in preventing all the terrible decrees, wars, and other tragedies that are looming on the Jewish </span><span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">people. May we merit the fulfillment of the promise of Rebbe Shimon, that with my sefer, the Holy Zohar, we will be</span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">redeemed from this exile with mercy.</span></div>

<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif; font-size: small;">The Admor, Rav Shalom Yehuda Gross, Rav Shalom Arush Shlita, </span><span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif; font-size: small;">Rav Eliezer Berland Shlit”a, Rav Benayahu Shmueli, and Haga’on </span><span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif; font-size: small;">Rav Nissim Perets z'l have all recently said that the Zohar can </span><span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif; font-size: small;">and should be read by men, women and children. To get one of the 70 </span><span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif; font-size: small;">volumes mailed out to you, please sign up as soon as possible so that we </span><span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif; font-size: small;">can send you a 1 of 70 Free booklets and join in this </span><span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif; font-size: small;">historic endeavour. </span><span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif; font-size: small;">We hope to have accomplished the first siyum in</span><span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif; font-size: small;">Toronto by Rosh Chodesh Nissan. Already in Eretz </span><span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif; font-size: small;">Israel there have been more than a few hundred </span><span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif; font-size: small;">siyumim with close to 30,000 participants. </span><span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif; font-size: small;">All it take is a few minutes a day and the </span><span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif; font-size: small;">accomplishment is endless. The Admor, Rav Shalom </span><span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif; font-size: small;">Yehuda Gross Shlita has said in his book “The Value</span><span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif; font-size: small;">of an Hour”, based on the teachings of Chazal, that</span><span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif; font-size: small;">just by reading the Holy Zohar One </span><span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif; font-size: small;">minute on a weekday, and even without </span><span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif; font-size: small;">comprehension of the text, can equal as if one studied </span><span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif; font-size: small;">over 140 hours of Gemara. And on Shabbos it can </span><span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif; font-size: small;">equal more than 28000 years of Gemara learning. </span><span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif; font-size: small;">He adds “This is revelation is a gift from heaven that </span><span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif; font-size: small;">G-d has given us, as the key </span><span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif; font-size: small;">to sweeten the days of the coming of Moshiach”. </span><span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif; font-size: small;">Based on these calculations in now make sense why </span><span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif; font-size: small;">Rabbi Yehuda Leib Ashlag pushed the leaders of his </span><span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif; font-size: small;">generation to use the Holy Zohar as a shield against the enemies of </span><span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif; font-size: small;">Israel.</span></div>
