Incredible Aerial Video of Caesarea ✡ "And You Shall Bring the Poles"

And you shall bring the poles into the rings on the sides of the ark.

EXODUS (25:14)

וְהֵבֵאתָ אֶת הַבַּדִּים בַּטַּבָּעֹת עַל צַלְעֹת הָאָרֹן

שמות כה:טז

Shabbat Inspiration

Ready for a great Hebrew lesson?! Today's verse describes the holy Ark of the Covenant. In Hebrew, the word for Ark/אָרון comes from the word "light"/אורה. The Ark held the two tablets which Moses brought down from Sinai, thus containing the spiritual "light" of the world.

FREE Biblical Animals eBook ✡ "God Remembered Noah"

God remembered Noah and all the living things and animals that were with him in the Ark, and God caused a spirit to pass over the earth, and the waters subsided.

GENESIS (8:1)
 

וַיִּזְכֹּר אֱ-לֹהִים אֶת נֹחַ וְאֵת כָּל הַחַיָּה וְאֶת כָּל הַבְּהֵמָה אֲשֶׁר אִתּוֹ בַּתֵּבָה וַיַּעֲבֵר אֱ-לֹהִים רוּחַ עַל הָאָרֶץ וַיָּשֹׁכּוּ הַמָּיִם

בְּרֵאשִׁית ח:א

Shabbat Inspiration

Noah is described as a “righteous man” in Genesis (6:9) because of his tremendous effort and the compassionate care he showed the animals in his ark. Throughout the rest of the Bible, we read repeatedly of the importance of showing sensitivity to all of God’s creatures, including those of the animal kingdom. In honor of this week's Torah portion, Noach, we proudly present you with a gift of our eBook, "Animals of the Bible." Learn how to say your favorite animal's name in Hebrew and read the passage where they are mentioned in the Bible.

The Ancient Synagogues of Jerusalem, Destroyed in 1948. (Israel's Picture A Day)

The Ancient Synagogues of Jerusalem, Destroyed in 1948 The pictures from the University of California - Riverside Archives

Posted: 09 Jan 2014


"The Jewish Quarter of Jerusalem with its two synagogues. Palestine."

This picture of the two domes of the Hurva and Tiferet Yisrael Synagogues in Jerusalem's Old City has been featured in our postings before after we found them in various collections.

But we never came across a photo with such clarity, suggesting that the archives at UC-Riverside contains the original photos taken by the Underwood & Underwood Co. in 1900. UC-R's files also allow huge and detailed on-screen enlargements of the photos. We thank the heads of the library for permission to republish their photos, and we abide by their request to limit the photos' sizes on these pages.

The Keystone-Mast collection at UC-R also contains other photos of the exterior and interior of the Tiferet Yisrael and the Hurva Synagogues in the Old City in the middle of the 19th century.

William H. Seward, who served as President Abraham Lincoln's secretary of state, visited Jerusalem in 1859 and 1870. He wrote a travelogue after his second trip, and he described attending Friday night services at the "Wailing Wall" and in one of the two impressive synagogues. Seward's description appears below.

Avraham Shlomo Zalman Hatzoref arrived in Eretz Yisrael200 years ago and was responsible for building the Hurva synagogue. Ashkenazic Jews had been banned from the Old City in the early 19th century after defaulting on a loan. Hatzoref, a student of the Gaon of Vilna and a builder in Jerusalem, arranged for the cancellation of the Ashkenazi community's large debt to local Arabs. In anger, local Arabs killed him in 1851. (Hatzoref is recognized by the State of Israel as the first victim of modern Arab terrorism.)

The two prominent synagogue domes shared the panoramic view of Jerusalem with the domes of the Dome of the Rock and al Aqsa Mosque for almost 80 years. In the course of the 1948 war, the Jordanian army blew up both buildings and destroyed the Jewish Quarter of the Old City.

We present below interior pictures of the two synagogues from the UC-R and Library of Congress collections.

Note the curtains covering the Ark containing the Torah scrolls. When the German Emperor arrived in Jerusalem in 1898, the Jewish community constructed a welcome arch, photographed by the American Colony photographic department. The curtains from the synagogues and the Torah crowns were taken down to decorate the arch.

The inscription on the Hurva curtain reads: [In
memory of] "The woman Raiza daughter of sir
Mordechai from Bucharest, [who died in] the
Hebrew year ת"ר [which corresponds to 1839-40]"
The last line cannot be deciphered, and suggestions
are welcome.

dedicated in memory of Hanna Feiga Greerman, the
daughter of Mordechai. The bima inscription reads
"in memory of Yisrael Aharon son of Nachman known
as Mr. Harry Fischel and his wife Sheina daughter
of Shimon [?] of New York"

Secretary of State William Seward's Friday Prayer
Was it in the Hurva or the Tiferet Yisrael Synagogue?

Excerpt from Travels around the World

... [After leaving the Wailing Wall] a meek, gentle Jew, in a long, plain brown dress, his light, glossy hair falling in ringlets on either side of his face, came tous, and, respectfully accosting Mr. Seward, expressed a desire that he would visit the new synagogue, where the Sabbath service was about to open at sunset. Mr. Seward assented.



William H. Seward, Lincoln's Secretary of State

A crowd of "the peculiar people" attended and showed us the way to the new house of prayer, which we are informed was recently built by a rich countryman of our own whose name we did not learn. It is called the American Synagogue. It is a very lofty edifice, surmounted by a circular dome. Just underneath it a circular gallery is devoted exclusively to the women. Aisles run between the rows of columns which support the gallery and dome. On the plain stone pavement, rows of movable, wooden benches with backs are free to all who come.

At the side of the synagogue, opposite the door, is an elevated desk on a platform accessible only by movable steps, and resembling more a pulpit than a chancel. It was adorned with red-damask curtains, and behind thema Hebrew inscription. Directly in the centre of the room, between the door and this platform, is a dais six feet high and ten feet square, surrounded by a brass railing, carpeted; and containing cushioned seats. We assume that this dais, high above the heads of the worshippers, and on the same elevation with the platform appropriated to prayer, is assigned to the rabbis.

We took seats on one of the benches against the wall; presently an elderly person, speaking English imperfectly, invited Mr. Seward to change his seat; he hesitated, but, on being informed by [Deputy U.S. Consul General] Mr.Finkelstein that the person who gave the invitation was the president of the synagogue, Mr. Seward rose, and the whole party, accompanying him, were conducted up the steps and were comfortably seated on the dais, in the "chief seat in the synagogue." On this dais was a tall, branching, silver candlestick with seven arms.

The congregation now gathered in, the women filling the gallery, and the men, in varied costumes, and wearing hats of all shapes and colors, sitting orstanding as they pleased. The lighting of many silver lamps, judiciously arranged, gave notice that the sixth day's sun had set, and that the holy day had begun. Instantly, the worshippers, all standing, and as many as could turning to the wall, began the utterance of prayer, bending backward and forward, repeating the words in a chanting tone, which each read from a book, in a low voice like the reciting of prayers after the clergyman in the Episcopal service. It seemed to us a service without prescribed form or order. When it had continued some time, thinking that Mr. Seward might be impatient to leave, the chief men requested that he would remain a few moments, until a prayer should be offered for the President of the United States, and another for himself. Now a remarkable rabbi, clad in a long, rich, flowing sacerdotal dress, walked up the aisle; a table was lifted from the floor to the platform, and, by a steepladder which was held by two assistant priests, the rabbi ascended the platform. A large folio Hebrew manuscript was laid on the table before him....

Jerusalem - Old City & The Western Wall (Kotel) at night

The Old City  of Jerusalem is beautiful at night. 

I feel safer walking there than in my hometown!

Enjoy a few of my favorite night time photos I took in Nov. 2013 on our Love For His People annual Ahava Adventure trip.

The Lions Roars (Vol. 18) - Karla Shrake - "Who Will Build With Me, As Noah Did?"

"And the Lord Roars from Zion...And utters His voice from Jerusalem." Joel 3:16

For Strong is he who Carries out His Word." Joel 2:11



"I am Calling and Commissioning Noahs - Who Will Build With Me in this Late Hour?" asks your Father"

by Karla Shrake June 6, 2013

Pt. II of "He is Readying Us to Rule and Reign"

"For surely long ago I spoke to you about the last days, the days of My Son's return and how they would be like the days of Noah. Know that in My goodness I always have an ark - a way of escape - for those seeking truth and life. In the days of My servant Noah it was an ark of gopher wood and pitch that provided the way of escape through the deep flood waters. In your day I need many centers, many ark-centers that are built and established upon the saving and rescuing blood of Jesus."

Ark Refuge Live-In Centers:

"I need places to bind up the wounded and heal the brokenhearted. I am pouring out much grace in this hour My people, therefore I need containers and structures that I can pour this grace into so it can be accessed by the masses who so desperately need it. I have begun developing rescue-centers that will serve as prototypes for others to follow, but there is much left to be built and established. I am calling My people to create ark-centers, even cities of refuge in every region so they will be readily available to those who have need of them."




"Where are My Noah-Builders who will partner with Me in the greatest harvest of all time?" asks your Father.

Many Coming In Soon:

"For there are many who will be coming into My kingdom in a very short time," explains your Father, "and many will need a place to rest their weary heads and souls. I desire to raise up centers of healing, deliverance and housing, for it is not enough for the wounded and the needy to attend services, they need to have places to live where they are loved and restored to wholeness and strength. They need a place to be discipled in how to live daily life as an overcomer.

A Place to be Discipled:

I desire to manifest to these in need not only through the preaching of My Word, but also through the truth lived out in daily life, relationships, in marriages and families. As these broken ones come into wholeness they will in turn become mighty warriors who will have great anointing, wisdom and authority over the enemy who seeks to rob, kill and destroy mankind. Their healing is part of the foundation of their equipping for the great exploits I have planned for them."

"Where are those who have My heart of compassion for the lost and hurting? Who will build with Me and for Me," asks the Father of mercy. "Who will yield to Me and labor with Me in this all-important mission?"

Noah-Mantles:

"I not only want to offer food for the hungry and clothing for the naked, I also want to offer healing for sick bodies and souls. I am now beginning to pour out My delivering power as never before in the history of mankind and I need many Noahs to partner with Me in the liberation of multitudes of captives. The evil powers of this day have locked up many in dark dungeons of deception, delusion and despair, but know that I am throwing new mantles of Noah upon those whom I have called and am now commissioning for these mercy-missions." 


"Just as the animals followed Noah into the ark so will many souls follow you into the ark in this uncertain hour. From before the foundation of the world the ark of salvation was prepared - as the Lamb was slain for the sins of all," comforts your Father.

"In his day My servant Noah preached faithfully for 120 years and not one soul turned toward Me. But you My last-day Noahs will see the greatest harvests of all time as I bring them in just as I brought my animal kingdom into the ark in Noah's day. The animals came in two by two and in sevens as I instructed, in all types and species.

Master-Plan for each Region:

"As leaders in each region inquire of Me I will begin to unfold the master plan for your area. Each center is to be designed according to the region's unique characteristics and needs," explains your Father-Planner. "These centers will be hospitals for sick bodies, sick souls and sick families. 

I am very eager to pour out supernatural signs and wonders as never before. I am restoring all things as prophesied by My prophets Joel, Malachi, Jeremiah and others and I am needing willing vessels, agents of My mighty restoration power, to not only rescue lost souls but to also love them with My love and bring them into complete and total wholeness and soundness in every way."



"The last day storms are increasing, so quickly help the lost find their way back home" pleads the merciful Father.

Redemption Glory:

"For those who are obedient to hear My voice in the details of each center's design and purpose, you will see Me begin to pour out an abiding glory that will overshadow and redeem all that the enemy has tried to ravage and destroy in mankind. Centers of joy and new life in My resurrection power!" laughs your jubilant Father-Rescuer-Provider. "Redemption centers, reclaiming souls that some have deemed as hopeless. But I AM the Living Hope and My redemption lives and the power of My glory is ever-increasing!"



"My covenant faithfulness awaits each Noah-team as I pour out My latter-day glory," promises your Abba.

Abba Provides for Ark-Centers:

"Noah-teams.......My eyes are upon you...I am with you to build and to move forward into all I've put in your heart. As you yield, listen and obey My instructions be assured I will provide for the building and sustenance of the ark-center, even as I provided long ago for Noah the gopher wood, pitch, and the needed helpers.

Abba Provides for Noahs:

"I not only supplied for the building of the ark, but I also provided for Noah and all his household.....for most assuredly I provide for My faithful ones and for those who are about My critical last-day rescue business, for it is very dear to My heart as precious souls are gathered into My bosom," consoles your Father. "My heart longs for all tribes, nations, peoples and cultures of the world to come in to the ark of safety while there is still time."



Davidic Warriors,

Warm greetings to all of you! It is encouraging and strengthening to know our numbers are increasing as the Holy Spirit is stirring friends to share with new friends in our prayer-decrees. What a joy to know we are partnering with Him as we are pulling heaven's plan and purpose into the realm of the earth, that He would have His way in all things pertaining to our lives, destinies and families. And what a comfort and joy to know others are praying for our families and loved ones!

I pray you faith-eagles will feel a fresh breeze from heaven, even the Father's life-breath, to lift you up and refresh and strengthen you. How He loves and appreciates you! Take a pause and receive His loving embrace.....

And I send an embrace of appreciation and love, a hug to you as well -

Karla
