"God Saw That it Was Good" ✡ The Other Side of Israel - ISRAEL365

And the earth gave forth vegetation, seed yielding herbs according to its kind, and trees producing fruit, in which its seed is found, according to its kind, and God saw that it was good. GENESIS (1:12) וַתּוֹצֵא הָאָרֶץ דֶּשֶׁא עֵשֶׂב מַזְרִיעַ זֶרַע לְמִינֵהוּ וְעֵץ עֹשֶׂה פְּרִי אֲשֶׁר זַרְעוֹ בוֹ לְמִינֵהוּ וַיַּרְא אֱ-לֹהִים כִּי טוֹב בראשית א:יב va-to-tzay ha-a-retz de-she ay-sev maz-ree-a ze-ra l'-mee-nay-hu v'-aytz o-se p'-ree a-sher zar-o bo l'-mee-nay-hu va-yar e-lo-heem kee tov

Today's Israel Inspiration On each day of Creation, the Almighty looks back at His work and declares "it was good!" But something is special about the third day of Creation, the only day where the Almighty repeats "it was good" twice. On this day, vegetation was created, as described in today's verse. So vital is food and nourishment that God declares a second time "it was good!" For the last decade, tens of thousands of disadvantaged men, women, and children in Israel – including Holocaust survivors – have turned to Meir Panim as their source of hope and lasting relief from hunger. Follow in God's ways and provide food for those in need in the Holy Land.
