What is the Meaning Behind the Mezuzah? ✡ "Thou Shall Write Them" - ISRAEL365

And thou shalt write them upon the door-posts
of thy house, and upon thy gates.

וּכְתַבְתָּם עַל מְזֻזוֹת בֵּיתֶךָ וּבִשְׁעָרֶיךָ

Today's Israel Inspiration

During his last speech to the Israelites before they were to enter the Holy Land after a 40 year journey across the Sinai desert, Moses taught the people of the commandment that every door-post (in Hebrew, mezuzah) in the house should be adorned with a scroll on which is written the Shema prayer, a constant reminder of God's presence in the home. Jews all over the world fulfill this mitzvah (commandment) by affixing a mezuzah scroll, protected by a case, to every door-post in the house. Keep the mitzvah alive with our stunning mezuzah cases!

The Three Key Reasons Why God Let Trump Become President - Hello Christian

The Three Key Reasons Why God Let Trump Become President

Hello Christian  Jan. 11, 2017

Donald Trump's inauguration is just days away. But the shock over his election win is still sinking in. How did he do it? What were the key elements? Were the prayers of the evangelical community a factor? Well, 'Focus On The Family' founder and evangelical Christian Dr. James Dobson believes that Trump's win boiled down to three key factors. 
"I am convinced it is because of three primary factors," Dobson wrote following Trump's victory.
1. "The sanctity of human life."
President-elect Trump made his pro-life position explicit very early in his campaign. “Here’s what’s going to happen. I’m going to — I’m pro-life. The judges will be pro-life,” Trump said in an interview with 60 Minutes following his election win. He also chose a fiercely pro-life conservative Christian, Mike Pence, to be his running mate. 
2. "The Constitutional guarantees of religious liberty that are being shredded." 
Trump has been a bold advocate for protecting religious liberty, and this has gained him vast swathes of support. “I will protect religious freedom and I don’t care if that’s politically incorrect,” he said in a letter back in October. 
3. "The promise by Mr. Trump to appoint pro-life justices to the Supreme Court."
President-elect Trump has always maintained his ambition to appoint pro-life judges to the Supreme Court, a move that will guarantee the rights of the unborn and shape the future of abortion legislation. Trump said in the past that his appointment of pro-life justices to the bench will lead to the overturning of landmark ruling Roe v Wade"automatically."

Around the world, news agencies are finding it increasingly difficult to fund their operations. As a result, the quality of news, especially written news, is suffering. If you do not want to see this happen to news about Israel, from Israel, we need your help.

Our primary financial need is to pay those who write for us. Many do so at no charge. Even so, every laborer deserves to be paid. Inasmuch as we pay our reporters, we facilitate their lives in Israel, encourage them and insure more and better stories in the future.
There is also a need to go on location where stories are happening stories. Because we are already in the Middle East, we do not have to go far. Still, there is a cost in sending reporters to places "on the ground" where stories are happening. Partner with us in this work through your monthly donation.
