II Chronicles 2:15 (The Israel Bible™)   וַאֲנַחְנוּ נִכְרֹת עֵצִים מִן הַלְּבָנוֹן כְּכָל צָרְכֶּךָ וּנְבִיאֵם לְךָ רַפְסֹדוֹת עַל יָם יָפוֹ וְאַתָּה תַּעֲלֶה אֹתָם יְרוּשָׁלִָם דברי הימים ב ב:טו va-a-nakh-nu nikh-rot ay-tzeem min ha-l'-va-non k'-khol tzar-ke-kha u-n'-vee-aym l'-kha raf-so-dot al yam ya-fo v'-a-ta ta-a-le o-tam y'-ru-sha-lai-yim Shabbat Inspiration In the times of King Solomon, mighty cedar trees of Lebanon were sent by Hiram "as rafts on the sea" to the ancient port of Jaffe, to be used in the building of the Temple in Jerusalem. It was deemed a great merit to Hiram, Solomon's non Jewish friend and ally, who bestowed these trees for such a holy purpose. Today you can share in the special merit of planting trees throughout all of Israel.   Plant a tree in the Holy Land! » Talk a Stroll on the Beautiful Jaffe Promenade Feel like you're right here strolling the popular Jaffe boardwalk!   Watch here » Summer Forest Fires Hit Israel From North to South  Amidst scorching temperatures, forest fires have repeatedly ignited all the way from Israel’s most northern locations to her most southern cities, with no less than 55 forested areas burned.   Read more » Today's Israel Photo If you're looking to find this lovely boardwalk near Jaffe port, ask the locals for the "ta-ye-let," which is Hebrew for "promenade."
