Bring Your Faith to the Forefront ✡ "The Borders of the Land of Canaan" - ISRAEL365

And the children of Israel did eat the manna forty years, until they came to a land inhabited; they did eat the manna, until they came unto the borders of the land of Canaan. Exodus 16:35 (The Israel Bible™)   וּבְנֵי יִשְׂרָאֵל אָכְלוּ אֶת הַמָּן אַרְבָּעִים שָׁנָה עַד בֹּאָם אֶל אֶרֶץ נוֹשָׁבֶת אֶת הַמָּן אָכְלוּ עַד בֹּאָם אֶל קְצֵה אֶרֶץ כְּנָעַן שמות טז:לה uv-NAY yis-ra-AYL a-kh’-LU et ha-MAN ar-ba-EEM sha-NAH ad bo-AM el E-retz no-SHA-vet et ha-MAN a-kh’-LU ad bo-AM el k’-TZAY E-retz k’-NA-an

Shabbat Inspiration The Children of Israel were fed manna from heaven the entire forty years they wandered in the desert up until they were literally in sight of the Promised Land. The Jews then, went from being directly sustained by the manna to being sustained by the bountiful produce of the Land of Israel. R’ Samson Raphael Hirsch notes that God intended the produce of the Land to be enjoyed as though it, too, is manna, directly provided by God. This year, bring the Bible closer to your heart and resolve to study God's Holy Book with a focus on Israel. Buy The Israel Bible » Poetry in Motion: From the Galilee to the Galaxy In honor of the holiday of Tu B’Shvat, the New Year for the Trees, which this year falls on Saturday, February 11, a beautiful Bible-inspired poem exploring the divine wonders of the land and the heavens.   Watch » Shirat Devorah and the Kibbutzniks From the Underground Bullet Factory There is no stronger symbol of Israel’s remarkable sense of communal responsibility than the kibbutz movement. Nevertheless, one of the most important kibbutzim that played a pivotal role in the formation of the state wasn’t even a real kibbutz, but rather a fake one!   Read more » Be Like Miriam the Prophetess   This week's Torah Portion, which will be read in synagogues around the world, deals with the great miracle of the splitting of the sea. It truly was a great miracle, which is why Moses and the nation sang a song of praise to God once they were saved. Immediately afterward, Miriam the prophetess takes her tambourine and leads the women in song as well. Miriam's tambourine was very special, as tradition teaches us that she got her tambourine ready while still a slave in Egypt. This act demonstrated her complete faith in God that the time will come where He will redeem them, and that she will need her tambourine to praise Him. Get your tambourine to praise God and to prepare for the ultimate redemption!   Shop Tambourines - Special Sale - Only $25 »   Today's Israel Photo A rainy winter day in Jerusalem's recent history still evokes inexplicable beauty to the holy city, as the streets are empty while most elect to stay home where its warm and dry.
