The bricks are fallen, but we will build
with hewn stones; the sycamores are cut down,
but cedars will we put in their place.
Isaiah 9:9 (The Israel Bible™)

Shabbat Inspiration
Isaiah's prophecy refers to the time after numerous calamities will befall the Land and the People of Israel. Following a period of war and destruction, the Holy Land will be restored to its former glory. Just a few weeks ago, terror struck Israel in the form of hundreds of arson attacks. In the period of less than a week, upwards of 7,500 acres of land were scorched and incinerated. Now, more than ever, Israel desperately needs help to rebuild and restore the once-flourishing orchards back to their former glory. Help us return the Promised Land to the beautiful sight we all know and love.
