Change a Life, Change a World ✡ "The Land Will Yield Its Produce" - ISRAEL365

If you follow My statutes and observe My commandments and perform them, I will give your rains in their time, the Land will yield its produce, and the tree of the field will give forth its fruit. Leviticus 26:3-4 (The Israel Bible™)   אִם בְּחֻקֹּתַי בחוקותי תֵּלֵכוּ וְאֶת מִצְו‍ֹתַי תִּשְׁמְרוּ וַעֲשִׂיתֶם אֹתָם: וְנָתַתִּי גִשְׁמֵיכֶם בְּעִתָּם וְנָתְנָה הָאָרֶץ יְבוּלָהּ וְעֵץ הַשָּׂדֶה יִתֵּן פִּרְיוֹ ויקרא כו:ג,ד im b'-khu-ko-tai b'-khu-ko-tai tay-lay-khu v'-et mitz-vo-tai tish-m'-ru va-a-see-tem o-tam: v'-na-ta-tee gish-may-khem b'-i-tam v'-nat-na ha-a-retz y'-vu-la v'-aytz ha-sa-de yi-tayn pree-yo

Today's Israel Inspiration Look closely at today's verse; are the blessings promised by God material or spiritual in nature? We see that only material rewards for abundant rain and food are noted, with no mention at all of earning spiritual merit for following God's word. Our Sages found this strange and explained it as follows: One who has food and security, and all of his needs met, will find it easier for continue fulfilling God's commandments, which clearly earns spiritual rewards as well. Join Colel Chabad, Israel's oldest charity, in bringing down blessings to the world and providing the poor of Israel with all their needs.   Change the World With a Contribution to Colel Chabad Today » Colel Chabad Makes a Bar Mitzvah Celebration for 119 Orphans "Our goal was to ensure that they know they are not alone, that they can be truly happy and that life will go on despite the obvious pain and loss they are feeling."   Read more » We Are Celebrating 50 Years Since Jerusalem's Reunification!
