We love to learn and share the biblical significance of the modern day cities of Israel. Haifa is not just the largest and most important northern city of Israel, with a glorious setting on the slopes of Mount Carmel, surrounded by sea. The Book of Kings describes the prophet Elijah ascending Mount Carmel to challenge the pagan gods. It was here that Elijah successfully discredited them and thus returned the hearts of the people to the Almighty. Haifa’s name hints to its magical setting, stemming from the words “hof” (beach) and “yaffa” (beautiful). See more of the Land with our beautiful Photography of Israel Calendar for 2016. Includes 12 frameable photographs, along with Shabbat candle lighting times and a Prayer for the Soldiers.

The Blessing for the Home, known in Hebrew as “Birkat Habayit” is a common feature displayed in Jewish homes across the world. The prayer often adorns the entrance of a home and requests that God grant peace to the dwelling. This piece includes both the Hebrew and English version of the prayer, with the English phrases placed directly below the Hebrew ones in a user friendly manner.
