The above verse is taken from the Book of Leviticus. Although most of the Book of Leviticus discusses the ancient priestly rituals of the past, many verses and chapters of Leviticus are eternal and remain significant and practical in our daily lives. While Leviticus deals with the detailed ins-and-outs of rituals and offerings, it is vital that we do not lose sight of the bigger picture of the book. The laws and rituals of the Bible are meant to bring God's children closer to Him and to serve as a road map for leading a moral and ethical life. Leviticus 19:32 is an eternal and unwavering reminder to pay respects to our elders. Far too many of the elderly Holocaust survivors living in Israel are not properly prepared for the upcoming winter months. Without proper clothing and blankets for warmth during the bitter winter, these survivors are doomed to face yet another devastating struggle. These Holocaust survivors have already suffered so much. Provide them with a winter miracle to warm them in their last days.
