"The Children of Israel Shall Encamp" ✡ Spectacular Replica of the 12 Tribes' Flags - ISRAEL365

The Children of Israel shall encamp, each man by his flagstaff of his fathers' house.

NUMBERS (2:1)

אִישׁ עַל דִּגְלוֹ בְאֹתֹת לְבֵית אֲבֹתָם יַחֲנוּ בְּנֵי יִשְׂרָאֵל

במדבר ב:א

eesh al dig-lo b'-o-tot l'-vayt a-vo-tam ya-kha-nu b'-nay yis-ra-ayl    

Today's Israel Inspiration

Today's verse gives us a vision of the layout of Israel's camp in the desert, along with a lesson for our lives. First, the Tabernacle was located in the center of the camp, serving as a reminder that God is our focal point. The remaining tribes, beginning with the Levites, surrounded the Tabernacle. Each tribe had its own flag, proudly bearing an insignia representative of the tribe's unique character. This contains a lesson for our lives. God is our unifying central focus, even as we tap into our own personal strengths. Eventually the Tabernacle came to rest for 369 years in Shiloh, where it served as the spiritual center of life. Today, modern Shiloh is a blossoming community filled with archaeological treasures, but with a serious threat. The people of Shiloh have withstood horrendous terror attacks. Shiloh Israel Children's Fund heals the trauma of terrorism in the lives of innocent children who have lost loved ones or witnessed the horror of terrorism first-hand.

"Milk and Honey" ✡ Have a Sweet New Year!

You gave them this Land that You swore to their forefathers to give them a Land flowing with milk
and honey.

JEREMIAH (32:22)
 

וַתִּתֵּן לָהֶם אֶת הָאָרֶץ הַזֹּאת אֲשֶׁר נִשְׁבַּעְתָּ לַאֲבוֹתָם לָתֵת לָהֶם אֶרֶץ זָבַת חָלָב וּדְבָשׁ

ירמיהו לב:כב


va-tee-tayn la-hem et ha-a-rets ha-zote a-share neesh-ba-ta la-a-vo-tam la-tayt la-hem e-rets za-vat kha-lav oo-de-vash

Jerusalem Inspiration

Throughout their time in the desert, the Jews were promised by Moses that God would bring them to a land filled with milk and honey. This became the main symbol for the blessing which God bestows upon the Land of Israel. When we dip our apples in honey on Rosh Hashanah, we try to appreciate the source of this sweet blessing. As the holiday draws to a close and the Days of Repentance begin, ushering in a time of deep reflection, heartfelt prayer, and resolutions for change, we remember the extraordinary connection between the Jewish people and the Land of Israel and honor our ancient birthright by striving to become worthy to live within its borders. Learn about Israel in its original Biblical context and understand more about the Holy Land than you ever imagined with our new box-set of the 5 Books of Moses.
 

Find the Israel in You

Only in Israel do the wonders of the Bible and God’s creations come so fully to life.
