It was exciting to see Marty working with children each day, playing an important role in the rehabilitation of damaged minds from the events of October 7, 2023. It was especially appropriate for our branch to gift a horse due to the part Australian horses played in liberating the Holy Land from the Ottoman Empire.
Israel has borne many insults since Oct 7 as the nations rage and plot vain things (Psalm 2:1) but Israel must continue to do what they can to defend their citizens, bring the hostages home, while bearing their pain and anxiety.
This year, commemorations will be held at the Auschwitz concentration and extermination camp to mark the 80th anniversary of its liberation. The event will be attended by world leaders. Auschwitz is a symbol of the Holocaust and the atrocities of World War II for most of the world.
As we face this new year, we are reminded that God continually calls us to action similar to the way the Biblical people of Israel were called to action when the ram’s horn, the shofar, sounded. The shofar was sounded for many different reasons and each time, it commanded the people’s attention.
It was a privilege for me to attend a joint event hosted by the Embassy of the State of Israel and the Embassy of the Federal Republic of Germany. A commemorative plaque was unveiled, celebrating William Cooper’s remarkable courage to protest against the vile atrocities of Kristallnacht.

Aliyah (a Hebrew word meaning “go up”) has come to mean the return of the Jews to the Land of Israel, their ancestral homeland.
A father and his three year old son were seriously injured in a shooting attack on their car. The wounds healed but the trauma for the little boy remained. Along with others in the community, the father developed the Therapy Centre including horseback riding to help his son and other children affected by terror attacks.
The Horse Therapy farm helps rebuild children and family’s lives to establish normality and bring comfort to those suffering PTSD during this ongoing war. The staff’s dedication and innovative approach is providing invaluable healing for the current traumatized children as well as building resilience for the future.
On October 31st, the world may be celebrating a corrupt Halloween …but discover the TRUTH behind this historic day in Church history and Australia’s history with Israel.
On Monday we will mourn hundreds of mothers and fathers, children and babies, and young people who were brutally tortured and murdered on the last day of Sukkot, a day that should have been one of rejoicing.
Beginning in the evening of the 2nd October, God’s command in Numbers 29:1 will be observed. “In the 7th month on the first day of the month…you shall have a day of blowing (the shofar).
