An Ancient Journey ✡ "Abraham Journeyed From There" - Israel365

Avraham journeyed from there to the region of the Negev and settled between Kadesh and Shur.

יִּסַּע מִשָּׁם אַבְרָהָם אַרְצָה הַנֶּגֶב וַיֵּשֶׁב בֵּין־קָדֵשׁ וּבֵין שׁוּר

בראשית כ:א
va-yi-SA mi-SHAM av-ra-HAM AR-tzah ha-NE-gev va-YAY-shev bayn ka-DAYSH
u-VAYN SHUR

Shabbat Inspiration

The Torah does not provide any specific reason for Abraham’s travels. Consequently, Rabbi David Kimchi, a medieval Biblical commentator posits that Abraham continuously travels in order to dwell in the different parts of the land that Hashem gave to him.  By residing in various places, even for short periods of time, Abraham adds his own effort to acquire the breadth and width of the land promised to him.  In this way, Abraham is fulfilling God’s command “walk about the land” (Genesis 13:17). To learn more about the patriarchs’ journeys and experiences in the Land of Israel, open The Israel Bible.

Right now, we study Torah and we practiced them and obey them. We believed that this the Covenant of God with Israel, a Ketuvah to which Adonai express His Love to man. We are small Torah Community here and we are going to visit the Land of Israel before this year ends. I am so excited seeing the Promised Land. Dennis Harder

A Personal Appeal for Help Keeping Our Children Safe in Israel - Rabbi Tuly Weisz, Israel365,

The Sound No Father Wants to Hear in the Morning
View this email in your browser
Dear Friends,

As I entered my office in Bet Shemesh this morning, the usual quiet was pierced by an unusual noise in our residential neighborhood. The sound no father wants to hear in the morning: a police siren, followed by another, followed by another, followed by the sounds of a helicopter overhead.

I quickly called my wife Abby who was dropping off our kids at school.

“Is everything ok?” I asked nervously.

“Didn’t you hear?” Abby replied, “two terrorists tried boarding a school bus nearby.”

My heart stopped. The violence and terrorism that has been plaguing Israel over the past several weeks had struck our own neighborhood and the intended targets were children.

Thank God, the quick thinking school bus driver closed the door and drove away without any of the children being harmed, however, a Jewish teenager was stabbed before the Bet Shemesh police arrived and shot the terrorist as he tried entering a local synagogue.

Israeli children are under attack and they need your help.

Many schools in Israel are dangerously lacking in basic security measures and desperately need urgent safety features. Please donate to our emergency campaignto help outfit Israeli schools with enhanced security features and help prevent a tragedy.
Watch a news report from today's stabbing in Beit Shemesh.
We are facing a cruel enemy, whose evil knows no bounds, but we who live in Israel and who love Israel have faith that God will ultimately protect us. May the God of Israel bless the People of Israel in the Land of Israel, especially the Jewish schoolchildren.

Thank you in advance for generously supporting our emergency campaign.

Shalom,

Rabbi Tuly Weisz
