II CHRONICLES (2:15)   וַאֲנַחְנוּ נִכְרֹת עֵצִים מִן הַלְּבָנוֹן כְּכָל צָרְכֶּךָ וּנְבִיאֵם לְךָ רַפְסֹדוֹת עַל יָם יָפוֹ וְאַתָּה תַּעֲלֶה אֹתָם יְרוּשָׁלִָם דברי הימים ב ב:טו va-a-nakh-nu nikh-rot ay-tzeem min ha-l'-va-non k'-khol tzar-ke-kha u-n'-vee-aym l'-kha raf-so-dot al yam ya-fo v'-a-ta ta-a-le o-tam y'-ru-sha-lai-yim Shabbat Inspiration Our Sages teach that en route to Jerusalem, the sailors recited a Psalm while bringing the mighty cedar trees for Solomon's Temple. Psalm 93:4 describes "the voices of many waters, the mighty breakers of the sea," and then speaks of the Lord's house, the "dwelling of holiness." As part of their route, the sailors surely passed the northern sea border of Rosh Hanikra, and heard the crashing of the waves into the rock. They must have marveled at the beauty and power of the sea, and praised God for their participation in the building of His great house.  What better way to start the new year than learning the Israel Bible.
