"Let There Be Light" ✡ Israel's Largest Menorah on the Water! - ISRAEL TODAY

And God said, "Let there be light," and there was light. And God saw the light that it was good, and God separated between the light and between the darkness. GENESIS (1:3-4) וַיֹּאמֶר אֱ-לֹהִים יְהִי אוֹר וַיְהִי אוֹר וַיַּרְא אֱ-לֹהִים אֶת הָאוֹר כִּי טוֹב וַיַּבְדֵּל אֱ-לֹהִים בֵּין הָאוֹר וּבֵין הַחשֶׁךְ בְּרֵאשִׁית א:ג,ד va-yo-mer e-lo-heem y'-hee ohr va-y'-hee ohr va-yar e-lo-heem et ha-ohr kee tov va-yav-dayl e-lo-heem bayn ha-ohr u-bayn ha-kho-shekh

Today's Israel Inspiration The days of Chanukah were set aside for greatness and light from the time of Creation. Let's look at the story of Creation in the Bible. Counting from the very first Hebrew word of the Torah ("Bereishit"/"in the beginning"), the 25th word is "ohr"/light, alluding to the light of Chanukah on the 25th day of Kislev! Just as God "saw the light that it was good," and then separated it from darkness, on Chanukah we recall that a little light and hope can dispel the darkness of despair. Meir Panim (lit. "lighting up faces") is brightening the lives of the poor in Israel and giving hope to struggling families and impoverished citizens this Chanukah.

Pope Francis meets Israel Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu in Rome

Netanyahu-pope meeting at Vatican explores Middle East, papal trip to Israel
December 2, 2013 Jerusalem Telegraphic Agency JTA


(JTA) – Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu and Pope Francis in their first face-to-face meeting talked about the Middle East and plans for a papal trip to Israel, among other issues.

Also at Monday’s closed-door, 25-minute audience at the Vatican, Netanyahu presented the pope with a book about the Spanish Inquisition written by his father, the late historian Benzion Netanyahu. The dedication read, ”To the great pastor and guardian of our common heritage.”

The Vatican said in a statement that the talks focused on the “complex political and social situation in the Middle East, with particular reference to the reinstatement of negotiations between Israelis and Palestinians, expressing hope that a just and lasting solution respecting the rights of both parties may be reached as soon as possible.”

During the meeting, Netanyahu reiterated the invitation to the pope to visit Israel that was extended earlier by Israeli leaders. Media have reported that the pope may make the trip in late May, but Vatican spokesman Father Federico Lombardi said no date for such a visit had been set.

Netanyahu’s wife, Sara, who also attended the audience, reportedly told the pope, “We are expecting you, we can’t wait.”

The Vatican statement said that “aside from indicating the Holy Father’s plans for a pilgrimage to the Holy Land,” the pope and Netanyahu considered “various questions” regarding the status of Christians in Israel.

It said they also discussed lingering financial and other questions that have stalled full implementation of a formal bilateral agreement between Israel and the Holy See “in the hope that the Agreement which has been in preparation for some time may be concluded forthwith.”

Following the meeting, Netanyahu held bilateral talks with his Italian counterpart, Enrico Letta.

Netanyahu on Sunday night lit Hanukkah candles at Rome’s main synagogue, where he reiterated warnings about the agreement on Iran’s nuclear program. Netanyahu kindled the menorah with Letta.

Speaking at the ceremony, the Israeli leader repeated his warnings that the recent deal on Iran’s nuclear program was a “historic error.”

Letta said he “knew Israel’s positions, doubts and fears.” He said the current economic and social crisis fed “extremism, hate and intolerance,” and he pledged to resist the “racism, intolerance and xenophobia” that were growing in Italy “in a worrying manner.”
