How pleasant are the footsteps ... Israel365

How pleasant are the footsteps  of the herald upon the mountains  announcing peace, heralding good tidings,  announcing salvation, saying unto Zion,  'Your God has reigned!' ISAIAH (52:7) מַה נָּאווּ עַל הֶהָרִים רַגְלֵי  מְבַשֵּׂר מַשְׁמִיעַ שָׁלוֹם מְבַשֵּׂר  טוֹב מַשְׁמִיעַ יְשׁוּעָה אֹמֵר לְצִיּוֹן מָלַךְ אֱ-לֹהָיִךְ ישעיה נב:ז ma na-VOO al he-ha-REEM rag-LAY me-va-SER mash-mee-AH sha-LOME me-va-SER tove mash-mee-AH ye-shoo-OH oh-MER le-tzee-OWN ma-LAKH eh-loe-ha-YEEKH

Today’s Israel Inspiration The first Hebrew word most people learn is “Shalom” שלום - which has three meanings: Hello, Goodbye and Peace. The root of the word is very significant in Hebrew as it describes someone or something that is complete or perfect. When we say goodbye to someone in Hebrew we bless them, “Lech Le-shalom“-לך לְשָׁלוֹם – literally “go in peace.” There are many ways to speak about God and one of them is, “the One who makes peace in the heavens”- or as we say in prayer, “oseh shalom bi-meromav“- עוֹשֶׁה שָׁלוֹם במרומיו. - He who makes peace in high places.
