The Pilgrimage to Jerusalem ✡ "All Thy Males Appear Before Hashem Thy God" - ISRAEL365

Three times in a year shall all thy males appear before Hashem thy God in the place which He shall choose; on the feast of unleavened bread, and on the Shavuot, and on the Sukkot; and they shall not appear before Hashem empty. Deuteronomy 16:16 (The Israel Bible™) שָׁלוֹשׁ פְּעָמִים בַּשָּׁנָה יֵרָאֶה כָל זְכוּרְךָ אֶת פְּנֵי יְהוָה אֱלֹהֶיךָ בַּמָּקוֹם אֲשֶׁר יִבְחָר בְּחַג הַמַּצּוֹת וּבְחַג הַשָּׁבֻעוֹת וּבְחַג הַסֻּכּוֹת וְלֹא יֵרָאֶה אֶת פְּנֵי יְהוָה רֵיקָם דברים טו:טו sha-LOSH p’-a-MEEM ba-sha-NAH yay-ra-EH khol z’-khu-r’-KHA et p’-NAY a-do-NAI e-lo-HE-kha ba-ma-KOM a-SHER yiv-KHAR b’-KHAG ha-ma-TZOT u-v’-KHAG ha-sha-vu-OT u-v’-KHAG ha-su-KOT v’-LO yay-ra-EH et p’-NAY a-do-NAI ray-KAM

Shabbat Inspiration The Hebrew word ‘shalosh’ means three. Three indicates a strong unit or bond, as it says in Ecclesiastes (4:12), “A chain of three cannot be undone.” Perhaps for this reason there are three times a year when every Jew is commanded to make a pilgrimage to the Temple in Jerusalem and appear before God. This guarantees that he will re-connect with his Creator at least three times a year, ensuring that the bonds between them remain strong and will not be undone. Today, tens of thousands of Jews make the pilgrimage by foot to the Western Wall in Jerusalem. The Israeli climate often leaves these pilgrims tired and hungry upon their arrival at the Western Wall. Colel Chabad generously provides food and water for these pilgrims to alleviate their discomfort and allow for them to worship and pray happily and without physical distraction. Join Colel Chabad in helping tens of thousands fulfill their biblical obligation of ascending to "the place which He shall choose » Ivanka Trump: "It Was Beyond Special" President Trump's daughter Ivanka reflects on her recent visit to the Western Wall in Jerusalem.

Sukkot stands out from the other pilgrimage holidays in that its celebration was not limited to Jews. Rather, bull offerings were brought on behalf of all 70 nations of the world during the Feast of Tabernacles. This served as a mighty display of universal solidarity and worship of the One True God of Israel. Discover more incredible insights with The Israel Bible » Sukkot in 60 Seconds!
