A Special Lesson From the Lubavitcher Rebbe ✡ "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 (The Israel Bible™) 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 sustenance year-round. Help to deliver emergency aid -- blankets, groceries, hot meals and medicine -- to the neediest of the Holy Land. Support Colel Chabad's Campaign for Widows and Orphans » The Stories are Heartbreaking. The Help is Life-Saving. It is difficult to imagine that in a country known for its hi-tech advances, so many cannot afford to buy food. Yet, that is the reality in today’s Holy Land.

Hebrew Music Monday ✡ "Like the Stars of the Heavens" - ISRAEL365

You multiplied their children like the stars of the heavens, and You brought them to the Land. NEHEMIAH (9:23)   וּבְנֵיהֶם הִרְבִּיתָ כְּכֹכְבֵי הַשָּׁמָיִם וַתְּבִיאֵם אֶל הָאָרֶץ נְחֶמְיָה ט:כג u-v'-nay-hem hir-bee-ta  k'-kho-kh'-vay ha-sha-mai-yim va-t'-vee-aym el ha-ah-retz

Today's Israel Inspiration Today's verse comparing the Children of Israel to the "stars in the heavens" is not meant to be taken literally, for the Jewish people are far from the largest religion or people in the world. Our Sages explain that the comparison to the stars refers to the permanence of the heavenly bodies. As the stars never cease, so too the Jewish people and the connection to the Land never waivers.
