Hebrew Music Monday ✡ "God of the Armies of Israel" - ISRAEL365

And David said to the Philistine, "You come to me with spear and javelin, and I come to you with the Name of the Lord of Hosts, the God of the armies of Israel which you have taunted." I SAMUEL (17:45)   וַיֹּאמֶר דָּוִד אֶל הַפְּלִשְׁתִּי אַתָּה בָּא אֵלַי בְּחֶרֶב וּבַחֲנִית וּבְכִידוֹן וְאָנֹכִי בָא אֵלֶיךָ בְּשֵׁם יְ-הֹוָה צְבָאוֹת אֱ-לֹהֵי מַעַרְכוֹת יִשְׂרָאֵל אֲשֶׁר חֵרַפְתָּ שמאול א יז:מה va-yo-mer da-vid el ha-p'-lish-tee a-ta ba ay-lai b'-khe-rev u-va-kha-neet u-v'-khee-don v'-a-no-khee ba ay-le-kha b'-shaym a-do-nai tz'-va-ot e-lo-hay ma-ar-khot yis-ra-ayl a-sher khay-raf-ta

Today's Israel Inspiration The biblical story of David vs Goliath, described in today's verse, gives us tremendous encouragement as Israel stands on the frontline against massive enemies. No matter how uneven the odds, God grants victory to whomever He desires. While our enemies come with modern day "spears and javelins" the small nation of Israel defends the Land "in the name of the Lord."

Win a FREE Photo by our Photographer ✡ "He Will Judge the World" - ISRAEL365

And He will judge the world in righteousness, He will minister judgment to the peoples with equity. PSALMS (9:9) וְהוּא יִשְׁפֹּט תֵּבֵל בְּצֶדֶק יָדִין לְאֻמִּים בְּמֵישָׁרִים תהילים ט:ט v'-hu yish-pot tay-vayl b'-tze-dek ya-deen l'-u-meem b'-may-sha-reem

Today's Israel Inspiration Our Sages describe that when God judges the nations of the world, He reminds them of righteous gentiles in Israel’s history. God asks the nations, "why have you not come close to Me?" If they say "I was too iniquitous, idolatrous or distant from God," He responds "were you more iniquitous than Rahab the harlot who ultimately came close to Israel and produced prophets and righteous; were you more idolatrous than Jethro the priest who came close and produced prophets and righteous; were you more distant than Ruth the Moabite who came close and produced kings of Israel?" The desired path is for all the nations to stand together in peace with the nation of Israel.

Hebrew Music Monday ✡ "The Youth Samuel" - ISRAEL365

And the youth, Samuel, was growing up, and bettering himself both with the Lord and with people. SAMUEL I (2:26) וְהַנַּעַר שְׁמוּאֵל הֹלֵךְ וְגָדֵל וָטוֹב גַּם עִם יְ-הֹוָה וְגַם עִם אֲנָשִׁים שמאול א ב:כו v'-ha-na-ar sh'-mu-ayl ho-laykh v'-ga-dayl va-tov gam im a-do-nai v'-gam im a-na-sheem

Today's Israel Inspiration As our verse describes, the righteous Samuel grew up in the service of God, and found favor in all those around him. He went on to anoint the first Kings of Israel, Saul and David. The name Samuel means "God has heard" referring to God answering the fervent prayers of his mother, Hannah. Today in Israel, child victims of terror need intensive therapies in order to overcome the trauma and to be able to "grow and better themselves." The Shiloh Israel Children's Fund runs over 500 group therapy sessions each year, and utilizes innovative therapy methods such as music therapy, animal therapy, art therapy, horseback riding therapy and drama therapy to help heal children who were victims of terror.

Hebrew Music Monday ✡ "How Good and Pleasant It Is" - ISRAEL365

A song of ascents of David. Behold how good and how pleasant it is for brothers to dwell together! PSALMS (133:1) שִׁיר הַמַּעֲלוֹת לְדָוִד הִנֵּה מַה טּוֹב וּמַה נָּעִים שֶׁבֶת אַחִים גַּם יָחַד תהילים קלג:א sheer ha-ma-lot l'-da-vid hi-nay ma tov u-ma na-eem she-vet a-kheem gam ya-khad

Today's Israel Inspiration The Psalmist teaches us in today's verse about the extraordinary value of "achdut" - אחדות - unity, which comes from the Hebrew word for "one" - אחד - echad. God's blessings flow down into this world when we dwell in unity with one another, as brothers.
