Plant a Tree in Israel for the Holidays! ✡ "It Will Sprout Again" - ISRAEL365

For there is hope of a tree, if it be cut down, that it will sprout again, and that the tender branch thereof will not cease. Job 14:7 (The Israel Bible™)   כִּי יֵשׁ לָעֵץ תִּקְוָה אִם יִכָּרֵת וְעוֹד יַחֲלִיף וְיֹנַקְתּוֹ לֹא תֶחְדָּל איוב יד:ז kee yaysh la-AYTZ tik-VAH im yi-ka-RAYT v’-OD ya-kha-LEEF v’-yo-nak-TO lo tekh-DAL

Today's Israel Inspiration Job contrasts the passing of man to the death of a tree. Once a man has departed from this world, he can not be brought back to life. A tree, on the other hand, though seemingly lifeless, can be revived. Similarly, Isaiah writes that though a tree appears dead after it sheds its leaves in the fall, the trunk remains from which the tree will flower again in the spring. Isaiah compares the Children of Israel to the tree. Though at times it appears that they will be annihilated and cease to exist, a holy remnant always remains from which they will grow anew and flourish (Isaiah 6:13). After centuries of countless battles over the Land of Israel, the holy soil aches to renew and blossom once again, just as the Jewish people yearn to revive the national spirit.   Plant a tree in Israel today and watch the Promised Land floursh » Hanukkah Takes Over the Jimmy Kimmel Show!

Tears Turn to Joy ✡ "God Will Comfort Zion" - JERUSALEM365

For God will comfort Zion, He will comfort all her ruins. ISAIAH (51:3)   כִּי נִחַם יְ-הוָה צִיּוֹן נִחַם כָּל חָרְבֹתֶיהָ ישעיהו נא:ג kee ni-kham a-do-nai tzee-yon ni-kham kol khar-vo-te-ha

Jerusalem Inspiration The Land of Israel has a supernatural quality to it.  While under foreign occupation, it was nothing more than an arid desert.  However, under Jewish sovereignty, it comes to life, flourishes, and yields great produce.  Plant a tree in Israel and be a part of the amazing miracle of Israel's glorious rejuvination.   Plant a tree today » From Tears to Joy Thousands gathered in Jerusalem on Thursday, November 26, 2015, to celebrate the wedding of Sarah Techiya Litman and Ariel Biegel.

It's such a blessing and comfort to know that so many people around the world are keeping Israel and the Jewish people close to their hearts and eagerly waiting for our Jewish Messiah who will bring real peace for all nations. Here, in France, I'm grieved to see the distorted news (if any) of Israel and the recent labelling of Israeli goods. They have even boycotted all news of Israeli solidarity with France following the recent Paris terror attacks. I'm very happy with my recent purchase at the Israel365 store and would like to say that BDS is like boycotting God's blessings! Shalom, Mrs Geeta Hemraj-Ujoodha Bordeaux, France Blessing from Jerusalem, Rabbi Tuly Weisz RabbiTuly@Israel365.com

"A Tamarisk in the Desert" ✡ Plant a Tree in the Holy Land!

For he shall be like a tamarisk in the desert, and shall not see when good cometh; but shall inhabit the parched places in the wilderness, a salt land and not inhabited. JEREMIAH (17:6) וְהָיָה כְּעַרְעָר בָּעֲרָבָה וְלֹא יִרְאֶה כִּי-יָבוֹא טוֹב וְשָׁכַן חֲרֵרִים בַּמִּדְבָּר אֶרֶץ מְלֵחָה וְלֹא תֵשֵׁב ירמיהו יז:ו v'-ha-ya k'-ar-ar ba-a-ra-va v'-lo yir-e kee ya-vo tov v'-sha-khan kha-ray-reem ba-mid-bar e-retz m'-lay-kha v'-lo tay-shayv

Today's Israel Inspiration To illustrate the difference between trusting in God and trusting in man, Jeremiah paints a strong contrast between two vivid images. One who relies on man is compared to a small shrub in the barren and rocky desert called the tamarisk. The  Hebrew name for this plant is 'arar' (עַרְעָר), similar to the Hebrew word for childless 'areeree' (עֲרִירִי), invoking feelings of lifelessness and emptiness. Someone who relies on the Lord, however, is likened to a majestic tree with deep roots beside the ever-flowing river, growing tall and whose branches provide shelter from the heat. Israel has two choices: they could trust in God and remain secure in their Land, flourishing like the tree by the river; or cut themselves off from the Divine presence and choose to be exiled to the wilderness of the tamarisk. Now more than ever we must be stalwart in our faith in the Almighty to protect the Land of Israel and to help her flourish.
