It hath been told thee, O man, what is good, and what the LORD doth require of thee: only to do justly, and to love kindness, and to walk humbly with thy God. MICAH (6:8) (The Israel Bible™)

View it in your browser It hath been told thee, O man, what is good, and what the LORD doth require of thee: only to do justly, and to love kindness, and to walk humbly with thy God. MICAH (6:8) (The Israel Bible™)   הִגִּיד לְךָ אָדָם מַה טּוֹב וּמָה יְ-הוָה דּוֹרֵשׁ מִמְּךָ כִּי אִם עֲשׂוֹת מִשְׁפָּט וְאַהֲבַת חֶסֶד וְהַצְנֵעַ לֶכֶת עִם אֱ-לֹהֶיךָ מִיכָה ו:ח hi-geed l'-kha a-dam ma tov u-ma a-do-nai do-raysh mi-m'-kha kee im a-sot mish-pat v'-a-ha-vat khe-sed v'-hatz-nay-a le-khet im e-lo-he-kha Shabbat Inspiration In response to the nation's vain quest to seek God with more offerings and sacrifices, Micah replies with the most sublime verse of his book, linking piety with righteousness and kindness to others. Rites and rituals are important, but only when accompanied with moral and ethical behavior. This verse is considered so significant that it is inscribed in the Library of Congress in Washington D.C. An Israeli non-profit, Karmey Chesed ("Vineyards of Kindness") has made its mission to take active steps to put these lofty principals into practice. Their dedicated volunteers work tirelessly to provide destitute Israeli families with both their physical and emotional needs, including food baskets, emergency medicine, secondhand clothing and furniture, and more.   Bless the needy of Israel with your "kindness" » Inspiring Glimpse into Israel's Goodness An incredible video of IDF soldiers giving thanks to Karmey Chesed for providing for needy soldiers and their families with basic food and necessities.

However, for lone soldiers, soldiers from dysfunctional or poverty-stricken homes or those estranged from their families, their battles are also fought for day-to-day survival.
