וַיִּשְׁחֲטוּ הַפֶּסַח לְכָל בְּנֵי הַגּוֹלָה וְלַאֲחֵיהֶם הַכֹּהֲנִים וְלָהֶם

Today's Israel Inspiration

Ezra lived at a very exciting time, when Persian King Darius allowed his Jewish subjects to return to Jerusalem and rebuild the Temple. At times, Ezra becomes frustrated that the people are not in fact returning with the proper enthusiasm, yet his righteous leadership brings the nation closer to God, and, among many spiritual accomplishments, the Passover-offering resumes in the rebuilt Temple. Today, beautiful jewelry from the City of David in Jerusalem merges the ancient with the present. Get a unique piece of jewelry based on actual archaeological finds in Jerusalem.

“A Wonderful Daily Resource!”

It’s great to hear from so many of you - stay in touch and let us know where in the world you are enjoying Israel365!
 
Israel365 is one of the first things I read each morning. I enjoy the uplifting words, the songs, and the articles. I have been trying to learn Hebrew for a number of years. Although I can follow along with the weekly parshah, it's read too fast to make phonetic connections. Israel365 gives me a short passage to practice reading at my own pace and the transliteration provides a self-checking opportunity for pronunciation. Thank you for this wonderful daily resource!
