In the Bible there are three who are described as "old and advanced in years" - Abraham, Joshua and David. All their days were filled with righteousness and old age was their crown of glory. King David ruled over Israel until his last days, but he did not age without suffering. His body became cold and could not be warmed. Today, Colel Chabad, Israel's oldest continuous charity since 1788, helps widows and orphans and desperate seniors with winter warmth. As a major winter storm hits Israel this week, help to deliver emergency aid -- blankets, groceries, heaters, hot meals and medicine -- to elderly shut-ins and anyone at risk.

These fabulous olive wood pendant necklaces with the Star of David come in two sizes, small and large. Both sizes have a flat olive wood base, in all of the wood’s striking, unique coloring, and have a pewter Star of David appended to the front to adorn it. The pendants come with a leather cord, a strong way of hanging a bold pendant around one’s neck.
