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.

Sing along with Shmaya Silverman to Psalm 133:1. While Shmaya sings of brothers living together in unity, the staff of Israel365 volunteered at Colel Chabad's Pantry Packers, and helped turn the ideal of unity into a reality!

Colel Chabad has begun its annual delivery of hundreds of space heaters and hot meals to destitute Israelis. But the poverty stricken cannot afford to run the heaters, even if they have them.

The Rimon Necklace is a blue and green Roman Glass ensconced in a beautiful Sterling Silver pomegranate. Roman Glass was discovered during archaeological digs in Israel and date back to the Roman era, nearly 2,000 years ago. Thanks to the perfect balance of geological and climatic conditions, Israel is one of the few places in the world that was able to form and preserve the amazing colorful glass.

Look at how the Bible comes to life in Israel! This wheat field is in Mevo Dotan ("Dotan's approach"), a village near the ancient town of Dotan, mentioned in the Bible as the place where Joseph finds his brothers in the field (Genesis 37:17).
