Israel–God’s Treasured Possession

December 11, 2005

Recently, I went to Netanya, on the Mediterranean Sea and spent three days alone with God. I walked on the nearly deserted beach and talked with God. I admired His creativity as I drank in the surroundings: the crashing waves of the sea, the blue sky dotted with fluffy white clouds, the delicate sea shells, the rocks shaped by the waves, and the water birds hunting for a fish breakfast. As I was expressing my love to the Creator, I suddenly was filled with a new awareness of His love for me. Amazing!  The Almighty God––who with a word from His mouth created this beauty––loves me.

Arise And Shine: Jelly Doughnuts

November 27, 2005

By Charleeda Sprinkle

“For behold, darkness will cover the earth, and deep darkness the peoples; but the Lord will rise upon you, and His glory will appear upon you” (Isaiah 60:2, NAS).

165 BC in Israel was a time of deep darkness. King Antiochus of Syria wanted his kingdom Hellenized (adapted to Greek culture). Jews were ordered to profane the Shabbat (the Sabbath), to stop celebrating the feasts, and to pollute the sanctuary by building altars for idols.  Torah (Gen.–Deut.) scrolls were burned and anyone who would not sacrifice to the Greek idols was put to death. Many Jews had already assimilated to the Greek way of life and welcomed the changes, but a few resisted.

The pressure is on U.S. President George W. Bush to make sure his actions, concerning terrorism, continue to match up with his words. On the one side, the war of words is broadcast, telecast, printed, and proclaimed. On the other side, terror increases.

Wheels of Success

November 21, 2005

For college students, living close to campus is important, but Jerusalem’s Hadassah College’s School for Industrial Design student, Elisha Wetherhorn, is actually delighted that he didn’t find a close place to live––otherwise the Rider, his invention designed to ease the plight of commuters, might never have been born.

Now he’s hoping his urban tricycle––a lightweight (14kg. or 30lbs.) folding bike with an electric motor that you can take on the bus––will soon be a common sight in centers around the world with potential investors in Tel Aviv, India, London, and the United States.

Gaza’s Synagogues- Only the Latest

November 21, 2005

Despite the fervent claims of Palestinian Authority (PA) officials that the Muslims living under their rule have the utmost respect for Judaism, the synagogues of Gaza were burned and desecrated even before the last Jew had left the strip.

A cursory check of recent history would seem to contradict the PA’s assertions and make these scenes from Gaza very much expected.

Brothers in Arms Israeli Soldier Discovers Christian Love

My story doesn’t begin with me; it actually begins with my grandfather. In 1916, at age 15, he walked from Russia to Israel. It took him over a year. He sought new life and hope in what would hopefully become the new Jewish state.

My father was born in Jerusalem and grew up hearing wonderful stories. When he was growing up, Jews were forbidden to enter the Old City during the holidays. My grandfather would take his small family close to the Old City walls—as close as he could possibly get—and describe the Western Wall to my father.
