Nitzanit, from the word in our verse for “blossom,” was a beautiful Jewish community in northern Gaza. The people of this flourishing town transformed the desert sand into luscious gardens, advanced greenhouses, and agricultural miracles. Nitzanit was tragically uprooted ten years ago this summer, in Israel's tremendous quest for peace. Tina Nagar commemorates her lost garden in Nitzanit with a stunning set of Biblical greeting cards. The images represent her greatest hope to replant roots and make the Holy Land blossom anew.

Ten years after the Jewish farming communities in the Gaza Strip were uprooted, the Land is miraculously blossoming once again, this time in northern Israel.

This personalized name scroll is extremely special and one-of-a-kind. A professional scribe will custom-make a beautiful scroll for you by writing your name in Hebrew in authentic, Biblical Hebrew calligraphy- the same calligraphy which is used to write holy Torah (Bible) scrolls. The scroll also includes the value of your Hebrew name in gematria, the spiritual Kabbalistic method of numerology.The name is written to order with a quill pen and scribe’s ink on a vellum sheet of goatskin or calfskin parchment. Don’t know your Hebrew name? No problem! Many English names derive from Hebrew names in the Bible, and the rest have etymological or spiritual cousins in Biblical sources. Just tell us your English name and we’ll find the Hebrew name in the Bible that’s most closely connected to yours.

I thoroughly enjoy receiving the above; reminds me of the time spent working in Israel which is about 20 years ago. Thanks for the scripture readings as well, as I learn more and more each day (never too old to learn). I am South African, living in Cape Town. Many thanks. Shalom, Pamela Isaacs
Hi Rabbi Tuly, Thanks for the many photos of Jerusalem/Israel sent to me by email. They are awesome and beautiful to look at.
