Hebrew Music Monday ✡ "Growing Up and Bettering Himself"

And the youth, Samuel, was growing up, and bettering himself both with the Lord and with people.

SAMUEL I (2:26)
 

וְהַנַּעַר שְׁמוּאֵל הֹלֵךְ וְגָדֵל וָטוֹב גַּם עִם יְ-הֹוָה וְגַם עִם אֲנָשִׁים

שמאול א ב:כו

v'-ha-na-ar sh'-mu-ayl ho-laykh v'-ga-dayl va-tov gam im a-do-nai v'-gam im a-na-sheem

Today's Israel Inspiration

As our verse describes, the righteous Samuel grew up in the service of God, and found favor in all those around him. He went on to annoint the first Kings of Israel, Saul and David. Today in Israel, foster children are placed in loving homes to "grow up and better themselves." Yet as their childhood ends, they are out of the system and on their own. At 18, they enter the army as lone soldiers, with no home to return to on days off, no extra finances to bolster meager army stipends, and no one to call for support. Israel's non-profit Summit Institute hopes to continue to provide support, love and a sense of family, even when the young foster child becomes an Israeli soldier at 18.
 

Hebrew Music Monday

Today's beautiful Hebrew music video, "The Lord is My Shepherd," is based on Psalm 23 and includes the well known verse, “I shall fear no evil for You are with me.”

Into the World and the Army at 18

For foster youth in Israel, turning eighteen is many times their biggest nightmare, when they are out of the system and enter the Israeli Army on their own.
