In today's verse, King David likens those with unwavering faith to the mountain of Zion. Just as the mountain ranges of Jerusalem stand eternal, unchanging and steadfast, so must we strive to maintain our trust in God and His ways in this world. There is no better example of unfaltering faith than the Nation's yearnings to return to their homeland for 2,000 long years. Those that merit to live in the holy land maintain strong faith, amidst adversity, that God will provide. This Passover, Israel365 has chosen to help strengthen the faith of those in need in Israel. Help us gladden the hearts of those families stricken with poverty, so that they too can enjoy the Passover holiday with good faith and plentiful tables.

Honor the memory of author Yehuda Avner by purchasing his epic book. "The Prime Ministers" is the first and only insider account of Israeli politics from the founding of the Jewish State to the near-present day. It reveals stunning details of life-and-death decision-making, top-secret military operations and high level peace negotiations. You won't be able to put it down!
