Isaac went up to Beersheba. God appeared to him that night and said, “I am the God of your father Abraham, fear not for I am with you, I will bless you and increase your offspring.”
GENESIS (26:23, 24)
וַיַּעַל מִשָּׁם בְּאֵר שָׁבַע וַיֵּרָא אֵלָיו יְ-הוָה בַּלַּיְלָה הַהוּא וַיֹּאמֶר אָנֹכִי אֱ-לֹהֵי אַבְרָהָם אָבִיךָ אַל תִּירָא כִּי אִתְּךָ אָנֹכִי וּבֵרַכְתִּיךָ וְהִרְבֵּיתִי אֶת זַרְעֲךָ
בראשית כו:כג,כד

In this week's Shabbat Torah portion (Genesis 25:19-28:9), Isaac followed in his father’s footsteps and returned to the well that his father Abraham had dug. ‘Beersheba’ in Hebrew means the "seventh well" named by Abraham in Genesis. Our Sages derive that Isaac is to be praised for continuing tradition and returning to the well of his father Abraham. This Chanukah, celebrate tradition and the miracles of the Jewish people in the Land of Israel with your own beautiful Menorah.

Kislev marks the beginning of the winter and always falls out during the darkest days of the year. It is therefore a fitting time to celebrate the Jewish holiday of lights, Chanukah.

Dear Friends in Israel, Oh how I LOVE these reports from Israel/Jerusalem. It’s encouraging to see the stand that your amazing Leader is watching over you. YES I mean GOD. And yes I do mean your Prime Minister too. We are praying for your people, your country that God will put a ‘strong hedge of protection... around you’ during these trying times. Please keep on sending these news reports. Many thanks and God’s blessings on you. Mrs. Fortnum, Kelowna, British Columbia, Canada |
