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. Now you
