DEUTERONOMY (1:3)   וַיְהִי בְּאַרְבָּעִים שָׁנָה בְּעַשְׁתֵּי עָשָׂר חֹדֶשׁ בְּאֶחָד לַחֹדֶשׁ דִּבֶּר משֶׁה אֶל בְּנֵי יִשְׂרָאֵל דברים א:ג va-y'-hee b'-ar-ba-eem sha-na b'-ash-tay a-sar kho-desh b'-e-khad la-kho-desh di-ber mo-she el b'-nay yis-ra-ayl Today's Israel Inspiration We are now in the Hebrew month of Shevat - the "eleventh month" described in today's verse. On the first of Shevat, Moses began his final address to his beloved people - the Book of Deuteronomy. He taught and opened wellsprings of Torah knowledge for 37 days, until his death on the seventh of Adar. Our Sages say that those sparks of inspiration are forever embedded in this special month, making Shevat particularly suited for renewed commitment and fulfillment of God's word. Sheva is a beautiful month in the Land of Israel and now is your very last chance to see the beauty of Israel each day with our glorious 2016 Israel Calendar available.   Get one of the last Israel calendars FREE when you buy today on our store » "To Love the Lord with All of Your Soul" The incredible story of an Israeli soldier who became a hero for infiltrating a yeshiva where a terrorist killed 8 young students.
