On Wednesday the sun shone again but the snow can still be seen in several places.

 

 

 

The heavy snowfall did not deter those who wished to pray next to the Kotel

Livro Eretz Israel

Eretz Israel is intended to show the history of a people, the memory bringing biblical texts, but goes beyond a documentary. The work shows that the existence of the State of Israel, with all its customs and traditions is the fulfillment of God's Word. The story told in the Bible has continued to this day.


When God called Avran to form a people (Am Echad) stated:

"I will bless those who bless you and curse those who curse you"

Genesis 12.3.


Knowing Israel, their customs and traditions helps us to know the God of Israel and His purposes for that nation. A people that although hated by many, resists impact of wars and survives the force that cradles the soul and feeds the dreams:


                                        "... Live in peace in the land of Zion and Jerusalem."


Eretz Israel has Hebrew words so the reader can associate the language of the Jewish people. It also brings stories of biblical characters who have become symbols of struggle and hope. Historical events such as Masada. Opinions from different eras, not for lack of material, but the content and the impact of information. A geographical overview that allows comparisons with the biblical period and the present day, and a whole chapter on Jewish culture.

Eilat - is it a city or a paradise?

So we went on past our kinsmen the descendants of Esav living in Se’ir, left the road through the Aravah from Eilat and Etzyon.Gever, and turned to pass along the road through the desert of Moav. D’varim.(Deuteronomy) 2:8 

  

Indeed, the G-d of Israel took His children all the way to Eilat during their wanderings in the wilderness. Yes, even G-d gives His children a vacation retreat.

   

Today people come from all over the world to vacation in Eilat. However to the Jews who live there, it is home. It can also be your Home. Since Eilat is host to people from all over the world, the people who live there can be considered Ambassadors for Israel.

They are the face of Israel to all the guests coming to visit this Beautiful Sea Shore site on the Gulf of Aqaba, which branches out from the Red Sea. Today over 50,000 people live in Eilat.    

   

Eilat is about a 4-hour drive from Jerusalem or Tel Aviv. However there are flights into and out of Eilat. EL-AL flies into Eilat and so does First Choice Airways of U.K. In less then an hour you can be at Ben Gurion Airport. Residents of Eilat also receive a discount on flights going to the north that no one else in Israel gets. This compensates them for living in a more remote área.

Jerusalem a Modern Miracle

 

Ramat Shlomo

 

 

This wall which surrounds the Walled City is two and one half miles of lime stone. It encompasses an area of approximately one square kilometer. This is the size of the Old City. The ancient city of David is located on the south side out side the wall and borders the Kidron Valley.

 

 

 

 

In front of the Jewish Quarter is the Har HaBayit (Temple Mount). Facing the Jewish Quarter is the Kotel (Western wall of prayer). It is a retaining wall of the second Temple which was restored by King Herod. However the Romans failed to destroy it.

 

 

 

One thing all Israelis understand is that food here is good. Israel grows almost every type of fruit and vegetable you could ask for. This is the world famous Mahane Yehuda Shuk (Market) on Yafo street in Jerusalem. Buy what is good. Buy a wide range of fruits and vegetables all grown in Israel. Israel may be the only nation in the world self sufficient in food. Also other items can be purchased here.

Kotel

"I was glad when they said unto me, 'let us go into the House of Hashem. Our feet shall stand within your Gates O Jerusalem. Built up Jerusalem is like a city that is united together, where the tribes go up, the tribes of Hashem, unto the testimony of Israel, to give thanks to the Name of Hashem.'" Tehillim.122:1-4 

 

"For Zion's sake will I not hold My Shalom, and for Jerusalem's sake I will not rest, until her righteousness goes forth as brightness, and her salvation as a Lamp that burns.....You who make mention of  Hashem, do not keep silent, and give Him no rest until HE establishes and until HE makes Jerusalem a praise in the earth." Yesha'yahu.62:1,6,7
