Found in Ezekiel's Tomb ✡ "Ezekiel the Priest, the Son of Buzi"

The word of the Lord came expressly unto Ezekiel the priest, the son of Buzi, in the land of the Chaldeans by the river Chebar; and the hand of the Lord was there upon him.

EZEKIEL (1:3)
 

הָיֹה הָיָה דְבַר יְ-הוָה אֶל יְחֶזְקֵאל בֶּן-בּוּזִי הַכֹּהֵן בְּאֶרֶץ כַּשְׂדִּים--עַל נְהַר כְּבָר וַתְּהִי עָלָיו שָׁם יַד יְ-הוָה

יחזקאל א:ג

ha-yo ha-ya d'-var a-do-nai el y'-khez-kayl ben bu-zee ha-ko-hayn b'-e-retz kas-deem al n'-har k'-var va-t'-hee a-lav sham yad a-do-nai

Today's Israel Inspiration

The prophet Ezekiel was buried outside the Land of Israel, in Iraq, during the first exile. In an incredible discovery, a pair of tefillin was found buried with him. On the wall above his tomb remain the Hebrew words: "This is the monument of our master Ezekiel the Prophet son of Buzi the priest, may his merit defend us and all Israel. Amen." May the merit of our prophets and the fulfillment of the biblical command to don tefillin continue to protect the nation of Israel. In India today, Jews are reconnecting and learning about this important commandment. Help them fulfill the mitzvah!
 

The Tefillin Booth

This short animated film presents all the steps to "bind them as a sign upon your arm" (Exodus 13:16, Deut. 6:8).
 

More Snubs by Obama

Apparently, refusing to meet Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu during his upcoming visit to Washington to speak before Congress is not a strong enough expression of discontent.
 

Wood Purim Grogger

In Jewish communities around the world, the Grogger is used during public readings of the Book of Esther to make noise when the Haman’s name is read in order to fulfill the Biblical mandate of “wiping out” his memory and the memory of Amalek for all generations.

Today's Israel Photo

Adam Ingalls captured this image of a rabbi dedicated to helping people don tefillin in Jerusalem.

“I So Look Forward Each Day”

It’s great to hear from so many of you - stay in touch and let us know where in the world you are enjoying Israel365!
 
I so look forward each day to the beautiful photo of Israel and the verse of Scripture in English and Hebrew. I am a Christian, but I am trying to learn to read and speak Hebrew; so the Hebrew language along with the phonetic transliteration is very helpful. Thank you so much for sending this to me. Have a blessed day, John Concienne
