ISAIAH (4:2)   בַּיּוֹם הַהוּא יִהְיֶה צֶמַח יְ-הוָה, לִצְבִי וּלְכָבוֹד וּפְרִי הָאָרֶץ לְגָאוֹן וּלְתִפְאֶרֶת לִפְלֵיטַת יִשְׂרָאֵל ישעיהו ד:ב ba-yom ha-hu yih-ye tze-makh a-do-nai litz-vee ul-kha-vod u-f'-ree ha-a-retz li-ga-on ul-tif-e-ret lif-lay-tat yis-ra-ayl Today's Israel Inspiration A great Bible commentator of the 13th century wrote that nowhere in the world would one find a land which is good and bountiful when settled by its people, but desolate when ruled by foreigners. However, this is exactly what God promises regarding the Land of Israel, as it says in Leviticus (26:32), “And I will bring the Land into desolation; and your enemies that dwell therein shall be astonished at it.” This guarantees that through the ages, the Land of Israel will not receive its enemies, but will flower for the Children of Israel. Take part in the incredible fulfillment of "the sprout of the Lord shall be for beauty and for honor" and plant your very own tree!
