Numbers 6:24-26 The Lord bless you and keep you; The Lord make His face shine upon you, And be gracious to you; The Lord lift up His countenance upon you, And give you peace. Have a blessed Thanksgiving, Sandra

Matthew 24:7,8,  “For nation will rise against nation, and kingdom against kingdom.  And there will be famines, pestilences, and earthquakes in various places.  All these are the beginning of sorrows.” I got to talk a little more to Morris (from Florida) this morning.  His son and daughter live here.  I get the feeling he is […]

Genesis 50:20, “But as for you, you meant evil against me, but God meant it for good, in order to bring it about as it is this day, to save many people alive.” Joseph could have said to save many people, period. Why does the word “alive” matter? Because I think he was referring to […]

Proverbs 1:5, “A wise man will hear and increase learning, and a man of understanding will attain wise council.” My B&B is a very interesting place. It is like a mini-drama every day. The cast comes and goes and is so rich in character. They are from all over the world and bring with them […]

The Torah reading for this week is: Genesis 23:1 through 25:18, I Kings 1:1-31. Shabbat dinner last night was delightful. Dinner was scheduled for 8pm but we ate at 9pm.

It was so crowded it reminded me of being in the middle of Manhattan—people everywhere getting ready for […]

We are making a new Zola Levitt Presents series called “Daniel and the Last Days Battle for Planet Earth.” It is about Daniel and the wars that are coming. I have not studied Daniel in a long time, so I have enjoyed rereading it. Berg Productions was in Israel doing some filming during the Fall […]

I woke up to a cloudy and rainy morning in Jerusalem, but that’s OK—Israel needs the rain. Traditionally, this is the rainy/winter season. During the last 8 years that I have been coming to Israel, this is only the second time I have been here in the rainy season. Last year was different in that […]

Shalom from Jerusalem. It is so good to be in Israel! The Fall tour group has gone—as has Berg Production—leaving me to discover Israel on my own again. It is quiet and I am enjoying a few hours of getting into the hum of daily life. The 60 or so pilgrims who made their way […]

Rosh Hashanna is the New Year on the Jewish calendar. God commands in Exodus 12:2 that the month of Nissan shall be the beginning of the year. Nissan, which is in the spring, is indeed the first month of the Jewish calendar, and the same month as Passover. So why then is the New Year […]
