"He Saddled His Donkey" ✡ Donations Matched for a New Ambulance to Save Lives - ISRAEL365

And Abraham arose early in the morning, and he saddled his donkey … and went to the place of which God had told him.

GENESIS (22:3)

וַיַּשְׁכֵּם אַבְרָהָם בַּבֹּקֶר וַיַּחֲבשׁ אֶת חֲמֹרוֹ... וַיֵּלֶךְ אֶל הַמָּקוֹם אֲשֶׁר אָמַר לוֹ הָאֱ-לֹהִים

בראשית כב:ג


va-yash-kaym av-ra-ham ba-bo-ker va-ya-kha-vosh et kha-mo-ro ... va-yay-lekh el ha-ma-kom a-sher a-mar lo ha-e-lo-heem

Today's Israel Inspiration

We learn an invaluable life lesson from just one Hebrew word in today's verse - awoke earlyוַיַּשְׁכֵּם. Abraham was zealous to do God’s will at the first sign of daybreak, teaching that we too should grab opportunities to do good without hesitation. Fast forward 3,000 years and meet  ZAKA volunteers who follow in Abraham's footsteps. ZAKA is Israel's incredible volunteer terrorism and disaster emergency response organization. Volunteers remain on call every hour of the day ready to rush to any tragic scene to save lives. With the increase in terror, ZAKA is in dire need of 5 new ambulances to carry out their sacred mission throughout Israel. No matter where you live in the world, you can partner with ZAKA for the benefit of mankind. Help save lives, strengthen faith, and strengthen Israel.

Israeli Traffic Behind an Ambulance Gets Interesting

What happens when Israelis are stuck in traffic behind an ambulance at the scene of a tragedy? You must watch their reactions!

As Deaths in Israel Rise from Wave of Terror, Search & Rescue Ambulances Needed

Typically, ZAKA volunteers deal with an average of 30 incidents of unnatural deaths every week. But with the current wave of terror, ZAKA is being swamped with a dramatic increase of incidences throughout Israel.

Yesterday's Photo Trivia

Yesterday's photo featured the Tower of David (in Hebrew, מגדל דוד, Migdal David), an ancient citadel located near the Jaffa Gate at the entrance to the Old City of Jerusalem. Despite its name, the tower has no connection to King David, but rather dates back to the Ottoman empire.

Between Ancient Hebron and the Modern Capital ✡ "Arose Early in the Morning" - ISRAEL365

And Abraham arose early in the morning, and he saddled his donkey … and he arose and went to the place of which God had told him.

GENESIS (22:3)
 

וַיַּשְׁכֵּם אַבְרָהָם בַּבֹּקֶר וַיַּחֲבשׁ אֶת חֲמֹרוֹ... וַיָּקָם וַיֵּלֶךְ אֶל הַמָּקוֹם אֲשֶׁר אָמַר לוֹ הָאֱ-לֹהִים

Jerusalem Inspiration

Today's verse describes how Abraham got up earlyוַיַּשְׁכֵּםva-yash-kaym, and from this one Hebrew word, we learn an invaluable life lesson. Just like Abraham was zealous to do God’s will at daybreak, so too should we strive to grab opportunities to do good without hesitation.  Karmey Chessed is known across Israel for its repeated efforts to help struggling individuals and families.  A lesser known program offers aid specifically to soldiers serving in the IDF with families back home that are struggling.  There are seven mothers of IDF soldiers who work directly with army social workers and Karmey Chesed. They volunteer to keep abreast of who is struggling, whether emotionally, financially or because they are lone soldiers, and work to issue whatever aid they need.

Journey of Hope" with 16%Off

This book was a labor of love which quickly turned into one of remembrance. The author began his documentation with the early years of Ilan’s journey to becoming an astronaut. It chronicles Ramon’s journey from air force pilot to astronaut, and includes NASA photographs, an interview with Ilan Ramon, articles about Israel’s first astronaut.

Jerusalem Daily Photo

A fantastic day begins as the sun rises over Efrat, by Zev Rothkoff.  Nestled in the Judean hills, Efrat lies 12 kilometers south of Jerusalem, in the heart of Gush Etzion. Efrat was founded with the guiding idea of an open urban community between Hebron and Jerusalem, which would serve as a bridge between the city of the patriarchs and Israel's capital.
