The Lord guided them alone - Deut. 32:12 ISRAEL365

As an eagle awakens its nest, hovering over its fledglings, it spreads its wings, taking them and carrying them on its pinions.  [So] the Lord guided them alone. DEUTERONOMY (32:11,12)   כְּנֶשֶׁר יָעִיר קִנּוֹ עַל גּוֹזָלָיו יְרַחֵף יִפְרֹשׂ כְּנָפָיו יִקָּחֵהוּ יִשָּׂאֵהוּ עַל אֶבְרָתוֹ.  יְ-הֹוָה בָּדָד יַנְחֶנּוּ דברים לב:יא, יב k'-NE-sher ya-EER ki-NO al go-za-LAV y'-ra-KHAYF yif-ROS k'-va-FAV yi-ka-KHAY-hu yi-sa-AY-hu al ev-ra-TO. a-do-NAI ba-DAD yan-KHE-nu

Today's Israel Inspiration The Bible tells us that a certain bird called a chassidah (a stork) is not kosher, and commentators intuit the reason: it is cruel to birds of other species. Yet if we look more closely, the bird's name "chassidah" comes from the Hebrew word "chessed" which means kindess! This bird does indeed display kindness toward its own species by sharing food with them. But the Bible wants us to learn that the kosher form of chessed is to bestow kindness equally on all people, regardless of how similar they are to us. Israel's national blood bank saves the lives of Jews, Christians and Arabs throughout Israel, without regard to race or religion.

Located in the northwest corner of Israel, Rosh Hanikra has sat on the trade route between Syria to the north and Egypt to the south since ancient times. The beautiful caves are accessible for visitors by the steepest cable car in the world (60 degrees) where you can see for yourself why Rosh Hanikra calls itself, the “love story between the sea and the mountain.” Thank You Please help us continue to spread the beauty and significance of the Land of Israel!   Sponsor a day » “I Am Learning More About Israel” 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!   Stay in Touch »   Dear Rabbi Tuly, I am a Christian here in Alabama, USA.  I pray for Israel everyday.  I love the Jewish people so much....  I support them as the Bible tells me to do.  Please let them know that there are many, many people here in the US that support you all, as well.
