The Pilgrimage to Jerusalem ✡ "All Thy Males Appear Before Hashem Thy God" - ISRAEL365

Three times in a year shall all thy males appear before Hashem thy God in the place which He shall choose; on the feast of unleavened bread, and on the Shavuot, and on the Sukkot; and they shall not appear before Hashem empty. Deuteronomy 16:16 (The Israel Bible™) שָׁלוֹשׁ פְּעָמִים בַּשָּׁנָה יֵרָאֶה כָל זְכוּרְךָ אֶת פְּנֵי יְהוָה אֱלֹהֶיךָ בַּמָּקוֹם אֲשֶׁר יִבְחָר בְּחַג הַמַּצּוֹת וּבְחַג הַשָּׁבֻעוֹת וּבְחַג הַסֻּכּוֹת וְלֹא יֵרָאֶה אֶת פְּנֵי יְהוָה רֵיקָם דברים טו:טו sha-LOSH p’-a-MEEM ba-sha-NAH yay-ra-EH khol z’-khu-r’-KHA et p’-NAY a-do-NAI e-lo-HE-kha ba-ma-KOM a-SHER yiv-KHAR b’-KHAG ha-ma-TZOT u-v’-KHAG ha-sha-vu-OT u-v’-KHAG ha-su-KOT v’-LO yay-ra-EH et p’-NAY a-do-NAI ray-KAM

Shabbat Inspiration The Hebrew word ‘shalosh’ means three. Three indicates a strong unit or bond, as it says in Ecclesiastes (4:12), “A chain of three cannot be undone.” Perhaps for this reason there are three times a year when every Jew is commanded to make a pilgrimage to the Temple in Jerusalem and appear before God. This guarantees that he will re-connect with his Creator at least three times a year, ensuring that the bonds between them remain strong and will not be undone. Today, tens of thousands of Jews make the pilgrimage by foot to the Western Wall in Jerusalem. The Israeli climate often leaves these pilgrims tired and hungry upon their arrival at the Western Wall. Colel Chabad generously provides food and water for these pilgrims to alleviate their discomfort and allow for them to worship and pray happily and without physical distraction. Join Colel Chabad in helping tens of thousands fulfill their biblical obligation of ascending to "the place which He shall choose » Ivanka Trump: "It Was Beyond Special" President Trump's daughter Ivanka reflects on her recent visit to the Western Wall in Jerusalem.

Buy a Brick in Israel! ✡ “Clear the Land and Settle It” - ISRAEL365

You shall clear out the Land and settle in it, for I have given you the Land to occupy it. NUMBERS (33:53) וְהוֹרַשְׁתֶּם אֶת הָאָרֶץ וִישַׁבְתֶּם בָּהּ כִּי לָכֶם נָתַתִּי אֶת הָאָרֶץ לָרֶשֶׁת אֹתָהּ במדבר לג:נג v'-ho-rash-tem et ha-a-retz vee-shav-tem ba kee la-khem na-ta-tee et ha-a-retz la-re-shet o-ta

Today's Israel Inspiration Our Sages teach us that the words of the Torah are eternal, and thus today’s verse commanding the nation to settle the Land applies not only to biblical times, but rather to all generations. Only when each part of God’s beloved Land is cultivated will this obligation be completely fulfilled. Fortunate are we to have a precious opportunity to share in this commandment, brick by brick. “Build-Up Israel” gives every supporter of Israel a unique chance to participate in building the dream.

Who Is Really Behind the Terror? ✡ "The Wicked Bend the Bow"

For, lo, the wicked bend the bow, they have made ready their arrow upon the string, that they may shoot in darkness at the upright in heart. PSALMS (11:2)   כִּי הִנֵּה הָרְשָׁעִים יִדְרְכוּן קֶשֶׁת כּוֹנְנוּ חִצָּם עַל-יֶתֶר--לִירוֹת בְּמוֹ-אֹפֶללְיִשְׁרֵי-לֵב תְּהִלִּים: יא kee hee-nay ha'-reh-sha-yeem yed-ree-khun ke-shet ko-ne-noo khee-tzam al-ye-ter -- lee-rot b'mo-oh-fel l'-yeesh-ray lev

Jerusalem Inspiration Jewish sages teach that in this verse, King David, who is at war with his son Solomon, defines the "wicked" not as Solomon and his forces, but at the enemies who cause hatred to rise between him and his son. The arrow represents not only the weapons of the enemy, but their tongues, as it is their evil words and intentions which makes their actions truly despicable. Today Israel is facing a wave of terror perpetrated by Israel's worst enemies - those who believe Israel should not exist, and refuse to accept Jewish sovereignty over the Land. From the north to the south, terrorists are attacking Jews, wounding and killing, leaving families devastated and traumatized. The Shiloh Israel Children's Fund, based in the Biblical heartland, was created to treat this trauma and help families through the pain and loss caused by the blind hatred of anti-Israel terrorists.   Help heal the newest victims of terror » Hipster Hasidic Band Rocks a Beautiful Melody Something special for today's MusicMonday!
