"Tabernacle of Acacia Wood" ✡ A Blossoming Desert - Only in Israel! - ISRAEL365

And thou shalt make the boards for the Tabernacle of acacia-wood, standing up. Exodus 26:15 (The Israel Bible™) וְעָשִׂיתָ אֶת הַקְּרָשִׁים לַמִּשְׁכָּן עֲצֵי שִׁטִּים עֹמְדִים שמות כה:טו v'-a-see-ta et ha-k'-ra-sheem la-mish-kan a-tzay shi-teem o-m'-deem

Today's Israel Inspiration The boards from which the Tabernacle walls are to be constructed are called "Ha-k'-ra-shim," meaning "the boards," implying specific boards known to Moses. A Jewish tradition maintains that Jacob planted the necessary trees on his way down to Egypt so that his descendants would have them to build the Tabernacle. The message here is two-fold: from Jacob we learn to prepare for the future, but we also learn not to give up hope. The exile is temporary and the Jews will return to their homeland. Celebrate life in the Holy Land and help us make it even more beautiful and green by planting a tree today!
