Intended to gather intelligence and carry out sabotage operations, the unit consisted of Jews who were native to the Arab world and could thus easily assume Arab identities. 4 DHJCNEWS From Our Rabbi Dear Friends: Committee calls Americans at two a.m. is opinions - gravity is a scientific reality in our truly a mystery!) and shared that he and his terrestrial world.
