As an eagle awakens its nest, hovering over its fledglings, it spreads its wings, taking them and carrying them on its pinions. [So] the Lord guided them alone.
DEUTERONOMY (32:11,12)
כְּנֶשֶׁר יָעִיר קִנּוֹ עַל גּוֹזָלָיו יְרַחֵף יִפְרֹשׂ כְּנָפָיו יִקָּחֵהוּ יִשָּׂאֵהוּ עַל אֶבְרָתוֹ. יְ-הֹוָה בָּדָד יַנְחֶנּוּ

The Bible tells us that a certain bird called a chassidah (a stork) is not kosher, and commentators intuit the reason: it is cruel to birds of other species. Yet if we look more closely, the bird's name "chassidah" comes from the Hebrew word "chessed" which means kindess! This bird does indeed display kindness toward its own species by sharing food with them. But the Bible wants us to learn that the kosher form of chessed is to bestow kindness equally on all people, regardless of how similar they are to us. Israel's national blood bank saves the lives of Jews, Christians and Arabs throughout Israel, without regard to race or religion.

Yesterday's photo showed the Rosh Hanikra caves. Located in the northwest corner of Israel, Rosh Hanikra has sat on the trade route between Syria to the north and Egypt to the south since ancient times. The beautiful caves are accessible for visitors by the steepest cable car in the world (60 degrees) where you can see for yourself why Rosh Hanikra calls itself, the “love story between the sea and the mountain.”
