But thou, Israel, My servant, Jacob whom I have chosen, the seed of Abraham My friend. ISAIAH (41:8)   וְאַתָּה יִשְׂרָאֵל עַבְדִּי יַעֲקֹב אֲשֶׁר בְּחַרְתִּיךָ זֶרַע אַבְרָהָם אֹהֲבִי ישעיהו מא:ח v'-ata yees-ra-el av'-dee ya-a-kov a-sher b'-khar'-tee-kha ze-ra av-ra-ham o-ha-vee

Jerusalem Inspiration The Sages taught that the name Hebron (khev-ron) is a contraction of the the word 'khaver' /חבר (friend) and the word 'na-eh'/נאה (agreeable). The name of the city of Hebron identifies Abraham as the first agreeable friend of God, as Isaiah says in today's verse! The Hebron Fund assists in keeping the Jewish presence in Hebron strong.
