Hebrew Music Monday ✡ "Hadassah that is Esther" - ISRAEL365

And he (Mordechai) brought up Hadassah, that is, Esther, his uncle's daughter; for she had neither father nor mother. Esther 2:7 (The Israel Bible™) וַיְהִי אֹמֵן אֶת הֲדַסָּה הִיא אֶסְתֵּר בַּת דֹּדוֹ כִּי אֵין לָהּ אָב וָאֵם אֶסְתֵּר ב:ז va-y'-hee o-mayn et ha-da-sa hee es-tayr bat do-do kee ayn la av va-aym

Today's Israel Inspiration We learn from today's verse about Esther's very humble and difficult beginnings as an orphan with neither father nor mother. Mordechai not only became her primary caretaker as a child, but he instilled in her the Godly values that followed her throughout life, and she never veered from his guidance. In her role as Queen of Persia, Esther became a shining light for all generations of how to preserve one's faith in exile. Today in Israel, TikvahHope provides vital services to needy children, instilling the security desperately needed in their lives.

Hebrew Music Monday: "Hallelujah!" ✡ "Joseph Sustained His Father" - ISRAEL365

And Joseph sustained his father and his brothers and his father's entire household [with] bread according to the young children. GENESIS (47:12) וַיְכַלְכֵּל יוֹסֵף אֶת אָבִיו וְאֶת אֶחָיו וְאֵת כָּל בֵּית אָבִיו לֶחֶם לְפִי הַטָּף בראשית מז:יב va-y'-khal-kayl yo-sayf et a-veev v'-et e-khav v'-ayt kol bayt a-veev le-khem l'-fee ha-taf

Today's Israel Inspiration The Lubavitcher Rebbe gave a beautiful insight into the meaning of the words "according to the children" in today's verse. When young children eat,they are prone to drop crumbs on the floor, thereby wasting some of their food. Joseph of biblical times was so sensitive to each person, that he made sure to give the children "according to their needs", i.e. a little more food so that they would have enough to eat despite some waste. Following in this special tradition is Colel Chabad, Israel's oldest continuous charity since 1788, which provides orphans, widows and desperate seniors with food baskets, hot meals and winter warmth. Help to deliver emergency aid -- blankets, groceries, heaters, hot meals and medicine -- to the neediest of the Holy Land.

Hebrew Music Monday ✡ "Train a Child in His Way" - ISRAEL365

Train a child according to his way; even when he grows old, he will not turn away from it. PROVERBS (22:6)   חֲנֹךְ לַנַּעַר עַל פִּי דַרְכּוֹ גַּם כִּי יַזְקִין לֹא יָסוּר מִמֶּנָּה משלי כב:ו kha-nokh la-na-ar al pee dar-ko gam kee yaz-keen lo ya-sur mi-me-na

Today's Israel Inspiration Throughout Proverbs, King Solomon offers words of wisdom and correction for the wise of heart. However, not everyone learns the same way, and a child will not learn from words alone. King Solomon urges us to use all means necessary to reach the child, "according to his way." A special organization brings to light Solomon's wisdom in treating trauma in children after a terror attack. The Shiloh Therapy Center in Israel provides unconventional and very effective therapy programs to help kids open up about their trauma, offering music therapy, art therapy, and animal therapy in addition to traditional counseling. Their methods work so well precisely because of Solomon's wisdom: using different mediums to encourage children to speak about their experiences. Helping victims of terror has never meant more. Help children victims of terror in Israel » Hebrew Music Monday: "May the Lord Bless You"  Sing along to this catchy classic, "May the Lord Bless You from Zion" based on Psalm 128, and performed by the Hava Nagillah Band!
