The prophet Ezekiel was buried outside the Land of Israel, in Iraq, during the first exile. In an incredible discovery, a pair of tefillin was found buried with him. On the wall above his tomb remain the Hebrew words: "This is the monument of our master Ezekiel the Prophet son of Buzi the priest, may his merit defend us and all Israel. Amen." May the merit of our prophets and the fulfillment of the biblical command to don tefillin continue to protect the nation of Israel. In India today, Jews are reconnecting and learning about this important commandment. Help them fulfill the mitzvah!

In Jewish communities around the world, the Grogger is used during public readings of the Book of Esther to make noise when the Haman’s name is read in order to fulfill the Biblical mandate of “wiping out” his memory and the memory of Amalek for all generations.

I so look forward each day to the beautiful photo of Israel and the verse of Scripture in English and Hebrew. I am a Christian, but I am trying to learn to read and speak Hebrew; so the Hebrew language along with the phonetic transliteration is very helpful. Thank you so much for sending this to me. Have a blessed day, John Concienne
