A Beautiful Snowfall in Jerusalem - Jerusalem365


A Beautiful Snowfall in Jerusalem

Though your sins are like scarlet, 

they shall be as white as snow

though they are red like crimson, 

they shall become like wool.

ISAIAH (1:18)
 

אִם יִהְיוּ חֲטָאֵיכֶם כַּשָּׁנִים כַּשֶּׁלֶג

 יַלְבִּינוּ אִם יַאְדִּימוּ כַתּוֹלָע כַּצֶּמֶר יִהְיוּ

יְשַׁעְיָהוּ א:יח

Jerusalem Inspiration


Last Thursday, snow began falling in Jerusalem 
in the heaviest December storm since 1953, 
shutting down schools and businesses throughout 
Israel’s capital. The Maharal of Prague, a great 
rabbi of the 16th century, describes the pure, white
snow as an illuminating force and spiritual light, which 
reminds us of God's involvement in man's affairs. 
To the young children of Jerusalem, however, it's 
a once-in-a-lifetime chance for a snowball fight 
and school closures!

Watch Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu
take a few minutes out of his busy schedule to have
a snowball fight with his family at his Jerusalem residence.

Watch Now »




Roads were closed for the morning and school was 
cancelled throughout Jerusalem and the surrounding 
areas in response to unusually heavy snow that has fallen 
in the city since Thursday morning. Ten snowplows 
and ninety tons of salt, along with salt-spreading machines 
and tractors, were readied for the occasion.





It only snows in Jerusalem once every few years, 
but with this wonderful hand painted snow globe, 
you can make it snow every day! Makes a great 
gift for only $8.99.





Today's beautiful photo by Zev Rothkoff shows the pure 
white snowfall that blanketed Jerusalem.

"Your Site is Such a Joy"

Hallo all the way from New Zealand, Your site is
such a joy. I love the photos and ... the Entebbe
video brought tears to my eyes. The goodness of
the Lord is wonderful. It was very moving too to see
the street named after Yoni Netanyahu - he made
the ultimate sacrifice but he would have been
prepared for that even before he left for Entebbe
and the street dedication is a lovely tribute.
Thank you for your site.
