Shana Tova~Rosh Hashanah 5775

Rosh Hashanah is the New Year on the Jewish Calendar. Tomorrow (Wednesday, 24 September 2014) at sundown, Israel begins the first night of Rosh Hashanah.

In the days leading up to Rosh Hashanah, Jews say Selichot (Prayers of Forgiveness). The Sephardic community began Selichot after midnight on the first day of the month of Elul (16 August 5774) For the Ashkenazic community Selichot started after midnight on Saturday, 21 September.

This is a time of prayers and repentence as well as a time of great celebration. On this day, Hashem makes his "assessment" of the whole world. It is said that on Rosh Hashanah, three books are opened. The righteous are immediately inscribed in the Book of Life~they are sealed "to live". Those in the middle are given ten days (until Yom Kippur) to repent, while the wicked are "erased from the Book of Life" forever. Of  course, we all pray that we will be inscribed and sealed in the Book of Life for another year!

Like all celebrations we want to have family and friends, good food and happiness on this day. We at Jerusalem Vistas / Israel Vision are praying for new, and better things to happen in 5775.

We thank you all for your ongoing prayers and support~without you we could not continue. Our wish is that all of you will be "Incribed and Sealed in the Book of Life for a Sweet, Healthy, Happy and Prosperous Year"

לשנה טובה תכתב ותחתם "Leshana tovah tikatev v’tichatem"
May You Be Inscribed and Sealed For a Good Year!

Once again it seems that rockets and mortars are flying into Israel from Gaza. So much for the cease fire! 

While missiles have also found their way from Syria to the Golan in the North of Israel, the IDF is there and on the alert. In an interesting item the Syrian ambassador stated on Tuesday:

“Syrian rebels linked to Al-Qaeda have seized UN weapons, uniforms and vehicles from peacekeepers in the Golan and set up a "safe zone" to wage attacks. The United Nations on Monday was forced to pull back hundreds of peacekeepers ...after Syrian rebels advanced on their positions"

Please Note: The UN troops have taken refuge~In Israel! 

Does anyone see the irony in this?

No matter. Today (Thursday) in Israel, is the last day of the work week. For us, tomorrow evening is the beginning of  Shabbat. Many in North America toast TGIF~Thank God It's Friday. In Israel we say:

"Thank You Hashem for Giving Us The Shabbat!

Shabbat Shalom From Israel!

 

Even Though

Oh Lord
What can I say?
For thou knowest
That I am empty.

Yet what can I Do?

For I am as Dust
At the mercy of the wind.

Oh Lord!
Even though it's come to this
You still love me.

Is the UN Fair to Israel?...Think About It!

For many years the UN has been on a downhill slide towards darkness. How can an organization designed to protect the rights of all people turn the corner to become suppressors of  freedom while allowing dictators, oppressors and violators of human rights to run the show?

To quote from this informative clip by Prager University:

 

Israel is a vibrant democracy with full rights for women and gays, a free press and independent judiciary. You would think that the United Nations would celebrate such a country. Instead, the UN condemns Israel at every turn to the point of obsession. How did this happen?

Please listen carefully to the video below and consider this:

     ~ Why are allowing the UN to be overtaken by those who are the opposite of "good"?

     ~ Why do we stand by while every western freedom and belief is being quashed?

     ~ Why are we pouring billions of dollars into an organization that is no longer fit for purpose?
