PM Netanyahu Receives Zeev Jabotinsky's Sword from Israel Police Commissioner Danino
Israel Police Commissioner Insp.-Gen. Yohanan Danino, during the course of a study day for the senior Israeli Police command at the Menachem Begin Heritage Center in#Jerusalem to mark the 100th anniversary of the birth of former Prime Minister Menachem Begin, gave the sword of Zeev Jabotinsky to Prime Minister Benjamin#Netanyahu.
The Israel Police Education Officer said that in 1920 Zeev #Jabotinsky had been arrested by British police officers in the wake of his involvement in a Jewish defense organization in Jerusalem following the riots which occurred that year. His sword was taken from him during his arrest. The sword eventually passed to a British police officer. Several years later, the officer's daughter gave the sword to British historian Martin Higgins, who specialized in the mandatory police and whose father had been a police officer himself. Higgins gave the sword to the Israel Police. The sword had previously belonged to a senior Ottoman officer and apparently came into Jabotinsky's possession during his service as an officer in the framework of the 38th Royal Fusiliers during World War I.

Rabbi Avigdor Miller (a popular Chareidi Rabbi, born 1908 CE,

in which he taught that Jews should pray for the Israeli Army.
I personally witnessed this; I was there.
When a Jew recites Tefilat Shemoneh Esrei, he is permitted to add his own
personal prayer requests in the middle of the final paragraph, which begins with
Elokai Netzor Leshoni MeiRa.
I recently began adding the prayer for the Israeli Army in that part.
I know this is not the way it is normally recited, but it is permitted,
and I can say it that way in any synagogue.
Rabbi Steven Pruzansky of Congregation Bnai Yeshurun in Teaneck
told me that I can recite it even on Shabbat and Yom Tov,
because it is a communal tefillah, not a private bakashah.
