Amazing True Story of an Israeli Waiter and a Prayer ✡ "Joy of the Lord is Your Strength"

And he said to them, "Go, eat rich foods and drink sweet drinks and send portions to whoever has nothing prepared, for the day is holy to our Lord, and do not be sad, for the joy of the Lord is your strength."

NEHEMIAH (8:10)
 

וַיֹּאמֶר לָהֶם לְכוּ אִכְלוּ מַשְׁמַנִּים וּשְׁתוּ מַמְתַּקִּים וְשִׁלְחוּ מָנוֹת לְאֵין נָכוֹן לוֹ כִּי קָדוֹשׁ הַיּוֹם לַאֲ-דֹנֵינוּ וְאַל תֵּעָצֵבוּ כִּי חֶדְוַת יְ-הֹוָה הִיא מָעֻזְּכֶם

נְחֶמְיָה ח:יּ


va-yo-mer la-hem l'-khu ikh-lu mash-ma-neem u-sh'-tu mam-ta-keem v'-shil-khuma-not l'-ayn na-khon lo kee ka-dosh ha-yom la-a-do-nay-nu v'-al tay-a-tzay-vu kee khed-vat a-do-nai hee ma-uz-khem

Today's Israel Inspiration

The special obligation to provide for the poor on the festivals is described in the Bible (Deuteronomy 16:11,15) and encouraged here in today's verse from Nehemiah, who spoke to the Children of Israel on the first day of Rosh Hashanah (Nehemiah 8:2). Bring in the new year with a generosity of spirit and bring joy to the poor of Israel! Meir Panim ("lighting up faces") is an Israeli organization providing thousands of meals to the impoverished this holiday, truly fulfilling the command  to "send portions to whoever has nothing prepared."

Prayers for an Israeli soldier brought two people together. You won't believe it until you see it!

"Bomb Shelter Capital of the World" is a Lesson in Triumph

The Israeli city of Sderot near the Gaza Strip has an astounding 5,000 bomb shelters. But despite constant threat of rocket attacks, Israelis triumph in the face of adversity and are giving over their bomb shelters to a new purpose.

Four Species Sukkot Set

The Four Species, or "arba'a minim" in Hebrew, are four different plants native to Israel. They are used in an obligatory rite during the Festival of Tabernacles, or Sukkot, which is coming up in just a couple of weeks! The species are held together and shaken in six different directions, east, south, west, north, upward, and downward, in acknowledgment of divine dominion over nature. This year, order your Four Species directly from an Israeli farmer!
