Jerusalem Inspiration

We know that the city of Jerusalem exudes holiness, but virtually every city in Israel has biblical significance. Haifa is not just an important northern city of Israel, with a glorious setting on the slopes of Mount Carmel, but it was the site of a major Biblical event. The Book of Kings describes the prophet Elijah ascending Mount Carmel to challenge the pagan gods. It was here that Elijah successfully discredited them and thus returned the hearts of the people to the Almighty. Haifa’s name hints to its magical setting, stemming from the words “hof” (beach) and “yaffa” (beautiful). Yaffa is a popular Hebrew girls name, and it is especially fitting for the summer months!
