Although prayer is always accepted before the Throne of Mercy, Jewish tradition teaches that the Hebrew month of Elul, where we find ourselves now, is the most auspicious time of year for our heartfelt prayers to be answered. The days leading up to the Jewish New Year are a time “when God is near” and so many come to pray in the holy city of Hebron, the final resting place of our Patriarchs and Matriarchs. Our Rosh Hashana prayers beseech God in the merit of Abraham’s loyalty and we blow the Shofar to remind us of the ram hidden in the thistles during the binding of Isaac. During these days “when God is near”, the Hebron Fund cares for the Tomb of the Patriarchs, allowing visitors to come and “call unto Him in truth.”

US Senator Ted Cruz was booed offstage while speaking at a conference for Middle Eastern Christians. Cruz, the keynote speaker for the non-profit In Defense of Christians, caused an uproar amongst the audience when he said that “Christians have no greater ally than Israel.”

For a sweet New Year, we dip an apple in honey on Rosh Hashana. You'll love the sweet taste of the Holy Land with this 100% natural, wildflower honey from a large kibbutz in Israel that has produced high quality honey since 1936.

A stunning sunset over the hills of Haifa by Natasha Pnini. Haifa is a contraction of the two Hebrew words Hof Yafe - beautiful shore. On a rounded bay, near mountain, valley and sea, Haifa truly enjoys magnificent scenery.

“You Have Inspired Me So Much”
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!

Rabbi, you have inspired me so much and given me the meaning of life and I am truly blessed by what you have to say. I am a Christian, but I am really and truly honoured to be part of your inspirational sayings and quotes from the Old Testament. Thank you, Madelaine P.
Hi Rabbi Tuly, I have just started receiving Israel365 and can say that I have been truly blessed. I pray every day that The Lord will protect and bless His people Israel as I know He will. You can imagine our frustration here in N. Ireland and in the world in general when we see the blind masses marching against your nation. I have yet to see a single march against the IS barbarians. May The Lord bless you and keep you and make His face to shine upon you. Shalom, Chris |
