Grapes play a prominent role in Judaism as we begin our Shabbat meals and other rituals with a blessing over a cup of wine. The honored fruit can also teach us a vital life lesson answering an age old dilemma faced by religious thinkers, of how bad things can happen to good people. Just like grapes must be totally crushed in order to produce quality wine, it is through our trials and tribulations that we can reach our highest potential. Karmey Chesed ("Vineyards of Kindness") cares for the needy of Israel, helping them to reach their potential with dignity.

The Lord is truly drawing all hearts to Him and His people. Your emails are a tremendous blessing to me. I can't say next year......but someday, in Jerusalem. Barbara H. in Colorado |
