Israel Photo Trivia ✡ "I Raise My Eyes Upon the Mountains"

I raise my eyes upon the mountains, from where does my help come?  My help comes from the Lord, maker of heaven and earth.

PSALMS (121:1)
 

אֶשָּׂא עֵינַי אֶל הֶהָרִים מֵאַיִן יָבֹא עֶזְרִי עֶזְרִי מֵעִם יְ-הוָה עֹשֵׂה שָׁמַיִם וָאָרֶץ

תהילים קכ’’א:א


e-sa ay-nai el he-ha-reem may-ai-yin ya-vo ez-ree ez-ree may-im a-do-nai o-say sha-mai-yim va-a-retz

Today's Israel Inspiration

This famous chapter in Psalms asks for God to provide assistance through all of life’s trying moments, but according to Jewish mysticism, it contains a specific secret formula as well. “From where does my help come” in Hebrew is ‘from where does my עזרי come from. This is the same word used in Genesis when God creates Eve to be an עזר כנגדו/ a ‘help mate’ for Adam. Accordingly, Psalm 121 is considered to be particularly potent when praying for an appropriate spouse, as in ‘my help mate comes from the Lord.’
 

"Masada of the North"

Get a beautiful vantage point of Israel's northern treasure, known as "Masada of the North." Here, Jews in the times of the Second Temple led a strong defense against the mighty Romans. (Trivia spoiler alert!)

Hebrew Name Necklace

Stay connected to your biblical roots by wearing your Hebrew name proudly! Don’t know your Hebrew name? No problem! Many English names derive from Hebrew names in the Bible, and the rest have etymological or spiritual cousins in Biblical sources. Just include your English name and we’ll find the Hebrew name in the Bible that’s most closely connected to yours.

Israel Photo Trivia

Ilan Rosen's photo features a magnificent landmark in northern Israel. One look at the hump-like shape of the hill is enough to understand why it was given its name, which comes from the Hebrew word for camel/ גמל ("gamal"). Can you guess its name? Send me an email or post your answer on Facebook!
