Shalom and Blessings
Just when we thought that the political situation in Israel could not get any worse, a group of MK's (Members of the Knesset), split with the Likud party to form another political party that will be in opposition to their old boss. It is not that we need any additional political parties, we have more than our share and the country's voters are already so fractured that it has become impossible for Israel to have a majority government. With conditions as they are, and now with the addition of another party, we cannot see how another election, costing the taxpayers millions of shekels, would change anything. The fact is we are facing the exact same scenario now being faced in the United States, only it is: "Anyone but Bibi" instead of "Anyone but Trump".
Much skepticism is going on here over the plan to start vaccinating against the Covid-19 virus. In a recent poll 37% polled said that they would not accept being vaccinated. However, the government has plans of issuing a green vaccination card to all those that are vaccinated. This card will remove all restrictions from them allowing them to enter malls, sporting events, restaurants, theaters and more. It is even being suggested that travel on Israeli carriers will require passengers presenting their green card at check-in.
Praise the Lord, the water project for the Migori compound is complete. What a beautiful experience it was for us to pray over the completed project with Nathan Siegel, the leader of Kol Chai, our home congregation; they were so instrumental in making it all happen, and the children and leaders of the compound, as we dedicated the project to the Lord. We have attached before and after clips for your viewing; from the girls carrying water from a distant stream on their heads back to the compound, to turning on a tap and water pouring out at the compound.

Hi Ellen here…I know we are to pray for our leaders as written in the book of Daniel, but I am having a hard time with this Biden team. Yes, I am an Israeli but I am American born and experiencing a struggle in my spirit…I am a women and I have had and do have many responsibilities that are separate from my husband, who has been my boss as well. I am troubled with the loading of woman in high places in government in the US…very troubling, very troubling. Look at this scripture with me, Isaiah 3.12: "My people-children oppress them, and women are ruling over them. My people! Your guides lead you astray and obliterate the paths you should follow." God has created an order…the world is in error and not following His paths so I expect more chaos and unrest BUT…Ephesians 6.12 says: "For we do not wrestle against flesh and blood but against the rulers, against the authorities, against cosmic powers over this present darkness, against the spiritual forces of evil in heavenly places…!" Let us Pray!
