All of God’s bounty is beneficial for us and there are many delicious foods that grow in the Land of Israel, yet the Creator of the world singled out seven species of fruit and grain as being particularly blessed (Deut. 8:8). Did you know that Israel’s Seven Species are not only delicious foods, but contain special properties contributing to a healthy body and spirit as well? We call them the Lord's secret pharmacy! Just in time for the upcoming festival of Tu B'Shvat (the New Year for the trees), enjoy the incredible benefits of the biblical Seven Species with Shivat Natural Cosmetics.

"Open Your Heart" by cantor Boaz Davidoff is a beautiful CD with a modern take on the tunes of music master Rav Shlomo Carlebach. The songs provide a heartfelt and enthusiastic energy that lifts and inspires the listener in a deep and very personal way.

Yesterday's photo featured the Cave of Machpelah in Hebron. The Hebrew word "makh-peh-LA" means "multiple," a reference to the four holy couples buried there: Adam & Eve, Abraham & Sarah, Isaac & Rebecca, and Jacob & Leah. |
