May you know even more today the love of Yeshua, as He continues to bring you back to the Land He promised to give to you, to your Patriarchs Abraham, Isaac, and Jacob.
Everything about experiencing the mystery of the prayer shawl points to Yeshua, the Teacher. The tallit is all about Him.
It represents the Word of God, and He is the Living Word. It is most likely that Yeshua always wore a tallit because doing so was required by the Torah and He obeyed the Law of Moses. But there was something special about the Teacher's tallit. In the Word of God, we see instances of people reaching out to take hold of the hem of His garment, the tzitzit, so they would be healed. This was a profound, faith-filled act that, as we will see in this chapter, confirmed that Yeshua was indeed the promised Messiah.
The Scriptures tell us: "But for you who fear My name, the sun of righteousness will rise with healing in its wings" (Mal. 4:2).
The sun of righteousness has been interpreted to mean the Messiah, and the Hebrew term for "wings"is kanaph or kanaphecha. Consequently, the verse has been interpreted to read, "When the Messiah arises there will be healing through His kanaph or tzitzit, the corner of His tallit." This is why those who were ill wanted to grab the corner of Yeshua's garment, the tzitzit, which represents the Word of God. They believed that Yeshua was the Messiah and that there was healing in His "wings."
We read in the book of Matthew: "Then a woman, who was ill with a flow of blood for twelve years, came behind Him and touched the hem of His garment. For she said within herself, 'If I may just touch His garment, I shall be healed.' But Jesus turned around, and when He saw her, He said, 'Daughter, be of good comfort. Your faith has made you well.' And the woman was made well instantly" (Matt. 9:20-22).
I recall with fond memories that when I was 10 years old, my parents took me to see the movie Ben Hur at Radio City Music Hall. What stood out to me was that this Messiah had multitudes and multitudes of followers wherever He journeyed, and those He touched were healed. The movie was actually showing me the fulfillment of Yeshua's Word:
"And when the men of that place recognized Him, they sent word to all the surrounding country and brought to Him all who were sick, and begged Him that they might only touch the hem of His garment. And as many as touched it were made perfectly well" (Matt. 14:35-36).
Of course, I had no idea what that passage said because as a young Jewish boy growing up in the United States in post-Holocaust times, I was never taught about Yeshua. I had no idea the garment He was wearing was a tallit katan, a garment that contained the tzitzit or the kanaph, and that there is healing through the power of His Word.
Still today healing comes through the power of the Word. While Adonai Himself is the One who heals—His name is Adonai Rofecha, "the Lord your Healer" (Ex. 15:26)—He does so through the Word of God.

Many people associate the term “Zionists” with the Jewish émigrés returning to Israel during the late 19th and early 20th centuries. In truth, however, the first returnees to Zion were those who returned from the Babylonian exile with Ezra and Nehemiah 2500 years ago. With the destruction of Jerusalem and the Temple we might have expected the Jewish people to disappear in the Babylonian exile, but, as Jeremiah predicted, they miraculously persisted. They adopted a three step approach: remember the past, live in the present, and hope for the future. And always within that projected future, the Land of Israel was central.

Talk about hospitality! In ancient Jerusalem there was an amazing custom to hang a white kerchief from the window to signify that a meal had been prepared, and those in need of food could come join. Fast forward two thousand years; Colel Chabad is one of Israel's oldest charities, and they continue this tradition of providing food and other vital necessities to the needy of Jerusalem.
At Jerusalem’s First Station in the heart of the city, dozens of women from the community center surprised tourists and citizens alike when a popular Israeli song came on the loud speakers followed by a beautiful coordination of dance and soul.
Israeli pride at its best, by Yehoshua Halevi. The Israeli flag as we know it was declared the official flag of the country six months after Israel's declaration of statehood. The flag is reminiscent of the traditional striped prayer shawl with the Magen David at its center.

Speak unto the children of Israel, and bid them that they make them throughout their generations fringes in the corners of their garments, and that they put with the fringe of each corner a thread of blue.
The Biblical blue color of 'tekhelet' is mentioned numerous times in the Bible. The color, worn on the corners of the four-cornered garment known as the 'tallit,' is meant to remind us of the sky, and, by extension, God and His constant presence in our lives. Yet for close to 1500 years, the source of this special blue dye had been lost to the world. In an exciting discovery, marine biologists, together with Talmudic researchers, identified the source of 'tekhelet' as a small snail found off the coast of Israel near Haifa. Today, people are wearing 'tekhelet' on their 'tzitzit' for the first time in centuries. From even the smallest sea creature we continue to see the Bible come to life in Israel.
