Parasha Succoth & Sermon: "God Loves God Forgives"

Shalom and Blessings 

We are well into our second week of the lockdown. Wednesday 1 in 6 tests for Covid-19 came back positive, which adds up to over 8,000 people in one day. Despite all the warnings and the high daily infection rates, a good section of the Israeli population are not wearing masks or are wearing them incorrectly (below their noses or as chin supports). There are extremely large protests (thousands of people), against Prime Minister Netanyahu going on in Jerusalem, with very few of the protesters wearing masks or wearing them correctly. The protests have become so bad, and in some cases violent, that the Knesset voted a one month ban on all protests. However, in true Israeli form there are now protests against the anti-protest law. We are even having protests against the protesters, with no indication that there will be an end to this madness. Come quickly Lord Yeshua; redeem Israel from all her troubles.

Hi Ellen here…What a glorious Hag this past weekend…Yom Kippur, once in our youth long and laborious, was filled with anticipation and blessings. Albeit being a "new thing" we worshiped with many on Skype. My favorite was the Ne'ilah service. Over the many years of these services which were a prelude to a piece of challah and a cup of coffee …I felt elated and hopeful for things to come. The groups in Kenya were such a blessing…we continue to pray for a new place to worship so all can come together to consistently fellowship as one. Bless you all and we look forward to an anointed Succoth service…hallelujah! 

Announcement: we will be broadcasting on Skye this coming Shabbat, Succoth service and ALL are welcome; Please contact us for the Skype link…thank you.
