II Kings 13:23 (The Israel Bible™)   וַיָּחָן יְהוָה אֹתָם וַיְרַחֲמֵם וַיִּפֶן אֲלֵיהֶם לְמַעַן בְּרִיתוֹ אֶת אַבְרָהָם יִצְחָק וְיַעֲקֹב וְלֹא אָבָה הַשְׁחִיתָם וְלֹא הִשְׁלִיכָם מֵעַל פָּנָיו עַד עָתָּה מלאכים ב' יג:כג va-ya-KHON a-do-NAI o-TAM vai-ra-kha-MAYM va-YI-fen a-lay-HEM l’-MA-an b’-ree-TO et av-ra-HAM yitz-KHAK v’-ya-a-KOV v’-LO a-VAH hash-khee-TAM l’-LO hish-lee-KHAM may-AL pa-NAV ad A-tah Shabbat Inspiration Because of His everlasting covenant with the People of Israel, God has compassion for them. In Hebrew, the word for compassion, ‘rachamim,’ comes from the word that means womb, ‘rechem.’ A mother always has compassion for the child she lovingly carried for nine months in her womb. We pray for God to have the same compassion upon His children, who He has lovingly carried for millennia. And when we show compassion to others, we emulate one of God’s Holy attributes. Emulate God and support Israel's hungry in their great time of need.   Donate to Colel Chabad Today » The People, Places and Things of Israel A beautifully-filmed tour of Israel’s Biblical and modern places, its soldiers and people, its food and culture.   Watch » Warm Up this Winter with Tea from Israel   We tried Ceremonie Tea at the Israel365 Office, and we loved it!  With its great flavor, beautiful packaging, and being a product of Israel, Ceremonie teas make a great gift.

It is named for the biblical city of Beit Hakerem which is mentioned in Jeremiah (6:1) and Nehemiah (3:14).
