Imagine yourself going out.

You sit in a restaurant with your friends, the waiter is coming to take your orders. There is always that one friend who takes forever to decide what to order, but he finally decides to go with the special.

You sit, talk and enjoy one another’s company, and then suddenly you hear gunshots. You look around and see dozens of people, like you, that came to the restaurant to hang out with friends or family and have a good time. But now they are running for their lives.

One hides in a refrigerator, another lies down pretending to be dead. You see a mother grabbing her baby and running out of the restaurant, desperate to save that treasured life.

What is the value of life? Can someone buy another’s life? Can someone take your life because he wants to? Life is expensive, nobody is empowered to take it from you. Life is precious.

Those terrorists don’t know the value of life. While we mourn as a nation and cry with the families that lost their loved ones, Palestinians in the West Bank celebrate our deaths, handing candies to kids in the streets and educating them that killing Jews is a good deed worth celebrating.

Killing a human being is like killing a whole world. It’s emotionally killing the family, the friends, and what if this human being had a bright future? Imagine the family he could have had, the kids he could’ve brought into the world.

This is a call to pray for our enemies. Blindly they believe that Israel is bad and that we deserve death. But, hey, we all deserved death…until Jesus came to the world, and took our sins on the cross. They need to be loved and they need to know Jesus.

Pray for your enemies.

Thousands Worldwide Unite in Reading of Shema Prayer to Save Israel by Adam Eliyahu Berkowitz - BREAKING ISRAEL NEWS

Thousands Worldwide Unite in Reading of Shema Prayer to Save Israel

By Adam Eliyahu Berkowitz   BREAKING ISRAEL NEWS  March 16, 2016 

“That your days may be multiplied, and the days of your children, upon the land which the LORD swore unto your fathers to give them, as the days of the heavens above the earth.” Deuteronomy 11:21 (The Israel Bible™)

A global reading of the Shema, the declaration of accepting God’s rule, will be held on Wednesday, March 16th, at 9:00 pm, Israeli local time, 3:00 pm EST. The reading of the Shema will come directly after the much-anticipated consecration of the Torah scroll written for the Messiah, which will be celebrated on Mount Zion in Jerusalem.

The date, the 7th of Adar by the Hebrew calendar, is considered especially auspicious for both completing the writing of a Torah scroll and for the reading of the Shema. According to Jewish tradition, it is the date on which Moses was born and also the date of his passing away.

The organizers of the event request all of Israel to join together in reading the entire Shema, which is directed at saving Israel from the horrifying wave of terror that has plagued the Jewish state for many months.

The statement released by the organizers reads:

“We shall pray, request, demand, and shout out to Our Father in Heaven:

• -The entire Shema
• -That we accept upon ourselves the yoke of Heaven
• -That we demand the return of the Davidic dynasty
• -That we wish to rebuild the Temple
• -That we undertake to return to Hashem (God) in repentance as individuals and as a nation
• -That we are awaiting our final redemption in mercy and with loving-kindness”.

The ceremony for the reading of Shema can be followed online.

The ceremony for the Torah scroll will begin at the Western Wall at 5:00 pm. For details or to purchase a letter in the Torah for 20 NIS, dial 1-800-464-100 inside Israel, or 972-3-616-9060 from outside Israel.

Kiryat Shema

The Shema is comprised of verses from Deuteronomy 6:4-9, 11:13-21, and Numbers 15:37-41. It can be found in Hebrew at Chabad.org.

Cover your eyes with your right hand and say:

Hear, O Israel, the Lord is our God, the Lord is One.

Uncover your eyes and recite the following verse in an undertone:

Blessed be the name of the glory of His kingdom forever and ever.

You shall love the Lord your God with all your heart, with all your soul, and with all your might. And these words which I command you today shall be upon your heart. You shall teach them thoroughly to your children, and you shall speak of them when you sit in your house and when you walk on the road, when you lie down and when you rise. You shall bind them as a sign upon your hand, and they shall be for a reminder between your eyes. And you shall write them upon the doorposts of your house and upon your gates.

And it will be, if you will diligently obey My commandments which I enjoin upon you this day, to love the Lord your God and to serve Him with all your heart and with all your soul, I will give rain for your land at the proper time, the early rain and the late rain, and you will gather in your grain, your wine and your oil. And I will give grass in your fields for your cattle, and you will eat and be sated. Take care lest your heart be lured away, and you turn astray and worship alien gods and bow down to them. For then the Lord’s wrath will flare up against you, and He will close the heavens so that there will be no rain and the earth will not yield its produce, and you will swiftly perish from the good land which the Lord gives you. Therefore, place these words of Mine upon your heart and upon your soul, and bind them for a sign on your hand, and they shall be for a reminder between your eyes. You shall teach them to your children, to speak of them when you sit in your house and when you walk on the road, when you lie down and when you rise. And you shall inscribe them on the doorposts of your house and on your gates – so that your days and the days of your children may be prolonged on the land which the Lord swore to your fathers to give to them for as long as the heavens are above the earth.

The Lord spoke to Moses, saying: Speak to the children of Israel and tell them to make for themselves fringes on the corners of their garments throughout their generations, and to attach a thread of blue on the fringe of each corner. They shall be to you as tzizit, and you shall look upon them and remember all the commandments of the Lord and fulfill them, and you will not follow after your heart and after your eyes by which you go astray – so that you may remember and fulfill all My commandments and be holy to your God. I am the Lord your God who brought you out of the land of Egypt to be your God; I, the Lord, am your God.

Terrorism

Israeli Border Police officer Hadar Cohen, 19, was sworn in to her mandatory national service just two months ago. On Wednesday, she met an untimely demise while confronting three armed terrorists in Jerusalem.

The attack occurred near the Damascus Gate of Jerusalem’s Old City, where Cohen and another young female Border Police officer spotted a trio of Palestinian Arabs behaving suspiciously.

Cohen and her comrade demanded to see their identification, but instead the Palestinians pulled out knives and guns.

Eyewitness accounts stated that Cohen, despite being so young and inexperienced, managed to return fire before being fatally shot and stabbed. The other officer suffered serious injuries, but is currently in stable condition.

Additional police forces that arrived at the scene and killed two of the three attackers discovered two guns, several knives and pipe bombs on the bodies of the terrorists.

In other words, they were planning a much grander, more coordinated attack, and were ultimately foiled by Cohen and her partner.

Israeli security officials called the incident a “turning point” in the current wave of violence, that until now has consisted primarily of “lone wolf” terrorists spontaneously deciding to attack Israelis.

Obama: Terror Is Our Fault; Perps are ‘victims’! - Ron Cantor

Obama: Terror Is Our Fault; Perps are ‘victims’!             President Obama gave his weekly address on Saturday. Shockingly he presented the perpetrators of the San Bernardino terror attacks as victims and said that we need to do more to prevent others from falling prey. He presents ‘radicalization’ as something that can be caught, like a virus. We address this in our latest video.             We must be in prayer for America and plead for revival in the Middle East!   Thank you Ron Cantor! we appreciate and support your work!

Two presidential contenders discussed threat of Apocalyptic Islam - Joel Rosenberg

Joel Rosenberg Two presidential contenders discussed threat of Apocalyptic Islam at Republican Jewish Coalition forum last week. That’s significant. Here’s why. by joelcrosenberg

(Washington, D.C.) -- Americans are increasingly on edge when it comes to personal and national security. They see the Mideast on fire. They see growing terror on our streets. No wonder they are looking for a President who truly understands the nature and magnitude of the threats we are facing and has the courage, knowledge and experience to keep Americans and our allies safe.

Last week -- in the wake of the Paris attacks -- only underscored the urgency. Minutes before a young Muslim wife and mother helped her husband unleash a terror rampage in San Bernardino on Wednesday, she pledged her loyalty to Abu Bakr al-Baghdadi, the emir of the Islamic State. She and her husband were later shot and killed by police after an intense manhunt. On Saturday, ISIS leaders publicly announced that Syed Rizwan Farook, 28, and Tashfeen Malik, 29, were "soldiers" of the Islamic State and responsible for the deadliest act of terrorism on U.S. soil since 9/11/01, killing 14 people and wounding 21 others.

The Washington Post reported that 2015 has emerged as "the deadliest for Islamist attacks in the United States since 2001" with a total 19 deaths, including the four Marines and Navy sailor murdered by a jihadist in Chattanooga, Tennessee in July.

That's why I found last week's conference organized by the Republican Jewish Coalition as so important. All of the remaining 14 GOP presidential candidates addressed the group at the Ronald Reagan building here in Washington, D.C. Regardless of their current standing in the polls, each candidate was given 30 minutes (a 20 minute speech and about 10 minutes of Q&A) to explain their views on U.S. foreign policy and national security issues, the threats emanating from the Middle East, and U.S.-Israeli relations.

While I had a previous commitment and was not able to attend, I watched online and found it especially helpful to observe -- back-to-back -- the presentations made by "The Final Four," the four candidates Evangelical Christians, especially in Iowa, are most closely and carefully watching to see if God is raising up one of them to be the next President of the United States. Why? Because it gave me a chance to compare their principles, their policies and their experience, as well as their personal style and tone on some of the most important issues in the race.

Who are "The Final Four," in my view? Senator Ted Cruz of Texas and Senator Marco Rubio from Florida, the two brilliant, up-and-coming, and very compelling young Cuban conservatives; and Governor Huckabee of Arkansas and former Senator Rick Santorum from Pennsylvania, the two deeply principled, tried and tested, and very experienced previous Iowa Caucus winners.

Each made a compelling presentation, and yet each was so markedly different in tone and approach.

What stood out to me was the fact that both Rubio and Santorum spoke about the threat of "Apocalyptic Islam," not just Radical Islam. Both used that specific term. Both were quite fluent in explaining what they meant by the term, the threat of these genocidal forms of eschatology, and why it's important for the next President to understand this treat and be prepared to neutralize it. This was significant.

Neither Cruz nor Huckabee discussed Apocalyptic Islam with the RJC, though both made excellent presentations. Cruz hit the issue of Radical Islam quite hard. Huckabee spent much more time than the others talking about his love for Israel and why he has been traveling there and leading tours of Israel for 42 years. Hopefully both Cruz and Huckabee will discuss the issue of Apocalyptic Islam in detail in the future, though this was an ideal venue to have done so.

I encourage you to watch each of the four presentations, share them on social media, and discuss them with family and friends.

1. Watch the speech and Q&A by Senator Marco Rubio.
2. Watch the speech and Q&A by Senator Rick Santorum.
3. Watch the speech and Q&A by Governor Mike Huckabee.
4. Watch the speech and Q&A by Senator Ted Cruz.

In several recent columns, I have noted that as America continues hurtling down a dangerous path toward implosion, as darkness falls in the Middle East and North Africa, as the forces of evil advance and the forces of freedom retreat, anyone who cares about the American people and the people of the epicenter needs to pay very close attention to the American presidential race. Specifically, I made the case that:

• We need a President who understands that Western leaders ignore the threat of Apocalyptic Islam at their peril.
• We need a Commander-in-Chief who truly understands the magnitude of the threats posed by Radical and Apocalyptic Islam.
• We need a President who has serious ideas about how to neutralize such threats, and has solid national experience that can assure us that he or she is really ready to confront this evil.
• We need a President who sees Israel as a faithful ally — not an adversary — in this showdown with the jihadists.
• We need a President who rejects the insane Iran nuclear deal, and the notion of allowing Russia and Iran to run wild in Syria.
• Commander-in-Chief is not an entry level position.
• There is no time for on-the-job training in the White House for a new President who has little or no experience thinking about foreign policy and national security issues.
• The next President must come in ready for war — because that’s what we’re in, and the stakes are simply too high to go with an untested outsider or newcomer.

Clearly, Cruz and Rubio have the most momentum, money, and higher poll numbers at the moment. Some analysts believe the GOP nomination contest could come down to a battle between Cruz and Rubio to be the conservative standard bearer in a fight against Donald Trump. That very well may be -- and that would be a very spirited and fascinating contest. Indeed, it already is.

That said, Evangelicals should not rule out a possible late surge by either Huckabee or Santorum. Why? Because Iowans have a history of breaking late.

The latest poll indicates only 19% of Iowa likely GOP caucus voters have made up their mind; 81% are still shopping around. They get to meet the candidates and ask them questions face to face. They are weighing each contenders pros and cons. They are taking their job of winnowing the field very seriously, as they always have. Remember: Huckabee won Iowa in 2008, while Santorum won Iowa in 2012. Indeed, in the 2012 cycle, Santorum was at the bottom of the polls in Iowa until three days before the caucuses and then was able to persuade Iowans to break for him at the last moment. This gave him a come-from-behind victory in Iowa, which he dramatically parlayed into primary victories 10 additional states, finishing second in the nomination battle to Romney. Could this happen again with either Huckabee or Santorum? It could. Iowa Evangelicals really like and trust these two. And it's important to note that Evangelical Christians make up about 57% of the Iowa GOP caucus voters.

People have asked me if I have settled on one candidate yet. I have not. I've met them all.  I see plusses and minuses in each.I'm not looking for a perfect, flawless leader. And I'm continuing to pray for wisdom, discernment and clarity. Hope you are, too.
