Last Sunday Israel went into an Emergency Situation to allow the IDF Home Front Command to enforce various restrictions. But thanks be to God!

In the walls surrounding the Old City of Jerusalem there is even a gate called the Lion Gate, although the ‘lions’ carved beside the gateways are really panthers! They were the symbols of the Mamelukes who ruled in that part of the world from 1260 – 1517.
In Joseph’s two dreams, his brothers and parents bow down to him (Gen 37).

In recent days, pressure on Israel to cease the fight against an evil organization has increased. Australia joined the shameful list of nations in supporting an untimely UN vote that rewarded evil and violence.

Words are powerful, and they can distort the truth. We encourage you to not accept the “normal” use of words, and instead discover the truth about common words and phrases that relate to Israel & the current political discourse.
Happy Passover! The story of the exodus from Egypt will be retold on Monday night as Jewish families sit at the Seder table and celebrate the amazing deliverance of their forefathers from slavery.
