"The Droughts of Summer" ✡ Summer Fun in Jerusalem

Praiseworthy is he whose transgression is forgiven... For day and night Your hand is heavy upon me; my freshness was transformed as in the droughts of summer, forever.

PSALMS (32:1,4)

אַשְׁרֵי נְשׂוּי פֶּשַׁע...כִּי יוֹמָם וָלַיְלָה תִּכְבַּד עָלַי יָדֶךָ נֶהְפַּךְ לְשַׁדִּי בְּחַרְבֹנֵי קַיִץסֶלָה

תהילים לב:א,ד

ash-ray n'-soy pe-sha ... kee yo-mam va-lai-la tikh-bad a-lai ya-de-kha ne-h'-pakh l'-sa-dee b'-khar-vo-nay kai-yitz se-la

Today's Israel Inspiration

The word 'ashrei,' fortunate, which begins today's Psalm, speaks of the fortunate person who veers away from sin and chooses the Godly path. The Psalmist uses a metaphor of a hot summer drought in the Land of Israel to describe how his strength was almost sapped because of his sins. Later on (verse 6), he describes repentance, symbolized by the refreshing waters of the rainy winter season. How true that the seasons can play a part in our frame of mind! During Israel's long and hot summer days, Meir Panim runs wonderful camps for underpriviledged kids, providing a safe and nurturing experience to renew and reenergize their spirits.
