An American Shabbat
MAY 12, 2026
5 MIN READ
Like many American Jews, I was pleased to see President Trump’s recent declaration in conjunction with the rededication of the United States on May 17, to encourage that the preceding Shabbat, May 15-16, should be observed across America as well. Acknowledging Jewish Heritage Month, the final sentences of his proclamation were, “I call upon Americans to celebrate the heritage and contributions of Jewish Americans and to observe this month with appropriate programs, activities, and ceremonies. I further call on all Americans to celebrate their faith and freedom throughout this year, during this month, and especially on Shabbat to celebrate our 250th year.”
Other than feeling good and seen, especially in light of the growing permissiveness of antisemitism throughout America, many Jews like me looked for additional meaning and significance in this proclamation, and what it means specifically this week.

“IN THE MIDST OF US” - Cathy Hargett, Highway To Zion
“IN THE MIDST OF US”
Cathy Hargett
January 31, 2026
The weather was threatening, and there were only a few of us who gathered for Kehila on that very cold Shabbat last week. There were seven of us, to be exact, who had ventured out. From the beginning of our time together, there was a sense of anticipation. Those of us who were there have shared some things about it with the rest of our Kehila.
But as I continue to ponder what happened that day, I feel prompted to share some thoughts about it with all of you in our larger Mishpacha. I think it’s important. It’s about our unity and intimacy as His Body. He has called us to a holy covenant with Him, not just individually, but together, collectively, in community, His People/His Loved One. He will come. He will appear in the midst of us, just as surely as He appeared at the Tent of Meeting during the days of Moshe.
The Lord’s presence that day at Kehila was so palpable even as we shared before the gathering officially started. Looking back on it, I know that the Scripture from Malachi was happening as He watched over us:
“Then those who feared the Lord talked with each other, and the Lord listened and heard. A scroll of remembrance was written in His presence concerning those who feared the Lord and honored His Name.”
(Malachi 3:16)
Since the first of the year, we’ve been hearing Him speak to us about being His People and His Loved One, collectively, in community, and not just individually. He has been showing us how to be One in Him as a “People”. He deserves the Glory that is due Him from His holy people. It’s powerful when a whole community is empowered at the same time to go into deep, intimate worship together.
Looking back on it, the Ruach had set the stage for His Glory to appear. Even as I write this, I am remembering a Scripture we read at the very beginning –
“Who may ascend the hill of the Lord? Who may stand in His holy place? He who has clean hands and a pure heart….who is this King of Glory? The Lord strong and mighty, the Lord mighty in battle. Lift up your heads, O you gates; lift them up, you ancient doors, that the King of Glory may come in…”
(Psalm 24:7-10)
Before we even started, one of our most faithful brothers had talked about the marvel of how God appears to us in our small Kehila. He talked about how this happens to us when we gather. He shared many beautiful things about it. Later, we all experienced the wonder of His presence together, something that does happen often to us, but this day was even more awe-filled than usual. The King of Glory did come in.
Several of us have tried to talk together about what happened that day, but it’s almost like we can’t really express it in words and maybe we just don’t want to say too much because we should treat it as holy. We just know that Yeshua, the King of Glory, came, and His presence humbled us and cleansed us. We also experienced that “humbled” feeling together. And at the same time, He was speaking to each of us and to all of us in so many deep and beautiful ways.
“For where two or three come together in My Name, there am I with them.”
(Matthew 18:20)
There was an exhortation about the refining Fire of God and about the purifying and cleansing of it. It was as if we were receiving this corporate purifying as we looked up to Him with unveiled faces. There were beautiful banners with fire flowing all around. It was as if He was revealing Himself in every act of worship. There was a word about taking up the sword He has given to each of us, with each of us having a specific sword or weapon of warfare.
I remember at one point, after we had come to His Table, one of our prophetic sisters, holding the Bread, talked about how the Lord spoke of “discerning His Body”. And then she related that we, His people, are His Body. Her words gave such a sense of holiness and sanctity to the “oneness” of all of us who follow Yeshua with all our hearts. He was showing us how precious a covenant we have with Him and with each other. There was so much happening in my heart as we ate that meal with Yeshua and drank the Wine of His precious Blood. In the spirit of my mind, I could see Glory, flowing in streams of liquid gold. The golden streams were flowing with such stunning otherworldliness that I knew He was searing something deep in my soul. I believe all of us were experiencing these deep mysteries of Truth from Him.
One of the sisters prayed and shared and prophesied with such purity of heart that when she would speak, I had this sense that I could almost physically see that she was surrounded by angels. Her face was shining, as if she was being prompted by angels to speak, and she was so fixed on Him, not on us or herself. I was amazed at the sense of heaven coming down with all those angels all around.
Another time, one of the men pronounced that we were on holy ground and took his shoes off. I sensed it, too. He said something about the heat, about being liquefied, being purified. I also sensed that and could see that liquid gold Glory again. Another prophecy was about the Glory cloud leading His people. It truly was all about Him and His Glory. Oh, God, it’s all about You.
When we gather together as His people, with our eyes fixed on Him in deep worship, He is there. I praise Him for coming to us and for being there in the midst of us. He desires us to be One in Him. He wants to be with us. He wants us to be in His Glory, in His Presence, a holy people bowing in worship to our holy God.
“They will be My People, and I will be their God. I will give them singleness of heart and action so that they will always fear Me…”
(Jeremiah 32:38-39)
“I have given them the Glory that you gave me, that they may be one as we are one – I in them and you in me – so that they may be brought to complete unity…”
(John 17:22-23)

"Accelerating" - quote from Morris Ruddick. (Taken from: "Responding to the Season of Change" message)
"There has not been a time, since the late 1930s, when the change and such false narratives have been on such a grand-scale; and with the subtleties, has been more complex and intense. And it is accelerating.
Having returned from an assignment in Israel, it has been in recognizing that the challenge lies in recognizing and responding to the shifts and unexpecteds. More of the same harder represents a snare. Understanding the times is one thing, processing the quantum, accelerating change and emerging narratives is another. We’re facing the basis for strategies that shape nations, economies and seasons. Yet, there is nothing new under the sun."
