Weekly Parasha: Parasha Tzav

Shalom and Blessings;

There is nothing much we can add about what is going on here with COVID-19 because you are all experiencing the same things we are, minus the rockets from Gaza, of course! Yes they are still firing rockets and the IDF is still retaliating (tit for tat). What kind of hate and disregard for their own people do these Arabs have, that during a health crisis they think of attacking the country that is willing to help them and is helping them. Prime Minister Golda Meir of blessed memory said; "Peace will come when the Arabs will love their children more than they hate us." Nothing can be truer!!

Ellen and I have proved that you can teach old dogs new tricks. We have learned, with the help of Google, to navigate through the online supermarket sites which are completely in Hebrew, and we received our first to the door delivery; Glory to God!

We are doing well, the isolation has not gotten to us yet, however, we have gotten to the point where we are thinking of moving our Mezuzah to our refrigerator door because it is the only one we have been opening and closing. We also did something that I recommend we all do. In preparation for the Passover we anointed and pleaded the Blood of Yeshua on the doorpost of our apartment entrance door so that the angel of death would see the Blood and pass us over.

I can understand the disappointment and frustration we are experiencing at not being able to have family and or congregational Passover Seders. But let us look at it this way; for the first time in history, like the first Passover the children of Israel experienced in Egypt, every family will be alone and there will be a Lamb (Yeshua), for a household (lamb is not served anymore on Passover, Yeshua is the Lamb). So do not neglect having your Passover Seder; this may be a very significant year. If anyone needs assistance in preparing for or running a Seder, please let us know.

Hi …Ellen here, just want to encourage you with God's Word in Yeshayahu 43.19, "Behold I am doing a new thing; now it springs forth, do you not perceive it? I will make a way in the wilderness and rivers in the desert." Thank You Lord for your Word!
