Last month we sent a special appeal about the incredible centre at Shilo that helps Israeli children recover from war and terrorism trauma through horseback therapy. When we launched this appeal, we did not know how vital this project will be after the war is over.
As distressing stories emerge from Israel, I want to briefly remember the wonderful journey through this precious Land enjoyed by the ICEJ 2023 Feast Tour.
The people of Israel are in shock after a treacherous mass infiltration by Hamas terrorists from Gaza on the Jewish high holy day of Simchat Torah, with hundreds of Israelis dead, thousands wounded, and over a hundred more captured and being held hostage. Help us respond to this crisis today.
Here in the Holy Land, the 2023 ICEJ Australian Branch Feast tour has not only gained insights and delight from touring the Land of Israel, but along with many other nations experienced the joy of the Feast of Tabernacles.
This month is full of significant Jewish Feasts. But what are the Feast of Trumpets, Day of Atonement, and Feast of Tabernacles all about?
Zechariah 14:16-19 speaks of a time in the future when the nations will be required to go up to Jerusalem to celebrate the Feast of Tabernacles.
Israel’s sharp divide over judicial reforms has Iran and its regional proxy militias thinking the Jewish state is weak and exposed. Towns in northern Israel are unprepared for what is likely to come in a future war with the Hizbullah.
The recent reports of Jews attacking Christians in Israel are real. There has been a surge in Jewish harassment and assaults on Christians and church properties in Israel since the start of the year. How are we to respond in love?
Today, Friday the 18th of August, is the first day of the Hebrew month Elul. It begins a season that is for preparation, and searching hearts and lives before the LORD including repairing relationships with others.
The present conflict over judicial reforms is one of Israel’s worst crises since the nation’s rebirth in 1948. Yet I remain optimistic because the Bible clearly states that God has brought His people back “never to be uprooted again”(Amos 9:15).
In this week’s Torah portion, we come across the “Shema”. In English it means to “hear” or “listen”. But in Hebrew, the context of the word points to paying attention, to focus, to not just listen, but to hear & respond to God.
Why is Jerusalem important in the Bible, and why does it continue to be important to Christians today? Jerusalem has almost 1,000 verses that mention it, and it’s the only physical place declared “holy” in the Bible.
