In this final chapter of Isaiah (ch. 66), the prophet assures the Jewish
people that God will bestow peace upon them, and that all the
nations will come forth with blessings like a torrent river sweeping things
along effortlessly. Jewish tradition teaches that all the blessings of the world
are contained in the blessing of peace; it is likened to a vessel that holds all
of the other good things in our lives. The valiant soldiers of the IDF defend
the borders of our beloved country and yearn for the day when all will reside in
peace and tranquility. As winter weather reigns across Israel, help keep our
'peace seekers' warm.
