Last week I misread my calendar and sent out the wrong D'Var Torah. Since then I have tweaked Parasha Re'eh and I'm sending it out again this time as the correct commentary for this week's reading.
I don't think I have to update you on what's going on here in Israel, it's been all over the news. For years Lebanon has been denying that Iran has weapon facilities and storage warehouses in their country; well I guess they've been proven wrong. Funny how they have been lying all these years and when Israel exposes them by attacking and blowing them up, they blame us and not themselves for harboring terrorists!
Despite all the threats from Iran, Lebanon and Hezbollah, Israelis are not at all concerned. Life goes on here as if nothing has happened or is going to happen.
Gaza continues to fire mortars and missiles at the southern part of the country causing little damage and no loss of life, praise God. We of course retaliated. A lot of our attention is on the 17 year old girl that was blown up by terrorists while hiking in the north with her her brother and father. They hid a bomb under rocks by a popular spring; she died, father and brother were both seriously injured and are recovering in hospital, please keep them in prayer. Two teens Nahum and Noam were run-over in a vehicular terror attack two weeks ago. Nahum is still in critical condition, Noam is home but still suffering the effects yet showing improvement; please remember them in your prayers
We leave for Kenya in a little less than three weeks. We're praying to be able to bring financial help to struggling members of the congregations there and money for much needed improvements at the orphanage. Please consider helping. By giving a little, combined with the others that will give, it will add up to be a real blessing.
I've attached the link to the sermon I gave to Kenya over Skype Shabbat. I pray you will be blessed by it.
Yours in Messiah Yeshua, our Lord, our God, our soon coming King.
Rabbi Jack & Ellen
