Father's day and the land of our forefathers Having trouble seeing this email? View it in your browser Happy is the man that hath not walked in the counsel of the wicked, nor stood in the way of sinners, nor sat in the seat of the scornful. PSALMS (1:1)    אַשְׁרֵי הָאִיש אֲשֶׁר לֹא הָלַךְ בַּעֲצַת רְשָׁעִים וּבְדֶרֶךְ חַטָּאִים לֹא עָמָד וּבְמוֹשַׁב לֵצִים לֹא יָשָׁב תהילים א:א ash-ray ha-eesh a-sher lo ha-lakh ba-a-tzat r'-sha-eem uv-de-rekh kha-ta-eem lo a-mad uv-mo-shav lay-tzeem lo ya-shav Shabbat Inspiration King David begins the Book of Psalms, a collection of songs of praise for the Lord, by focusing on man. His first action is to walk, in Hebrew 'halakh,' and immediately upon setting out on his journey he is forced to make a decision of which path he should walk: righteous or wicked, fruitful or barren. This ‘walking’ reminds us of God’s first words to Abraham ‘lech lecha,’ "Go forth" (Genesis 12:1), and more significantly, ‘kum hithalech ba’aretz’, "arise, walk through the land" (Genesis 13:17). David may have been reminding us that while praising God transcends time and place, the book of Psalms was written in the Land of Israel, the ancient walking grounds of our forefathers.  This father's day, support the land of our forefathers, and buy gifts from Israel.
