Israel 2020: Day 3
Saw the beautiful 15th century Abuhav Synagogue, the Candle Factory, the artist colony, and the of course, the holy graves of the Tzadikim to pray.
It was a marvelously spiritually uplifting experience (as well as being up high in the mountains) and is an overall beautiful and unique city of ancient winding alleys and treasures at every turn.
So grateful to have had this opportunity to visit there, thank you Hashem! ;-)

Shabbat Candle Holders with Gorgeous Flowers
So colorful, and full of nature and life, and it makes me happy.
I just wanted to give a callout to Mira (Pinki) Krispil from Ashdod, Israel who makes this beautiful artwork.
Her expertise is in using polymer clay and glass and making it very special.
You can find her Mira's wonderful work on Etsy.
Enjoy and Shabbat Shalom!

Amazing Chanukah Photo
In it, the Chanukah candles in the window defy the evil Nazi banner in front of their headquarters in Germany and foretelling of the impending Jewish genocide and world war.
On the back on the photo is written:
"Chanukah 5692 [1931]. Judea dies says the banner. Judea will live forever responds the lights."
As we are once again living in a time of brutal terrorist violence and a moral black hole in civilization, we must again turn to Hashem and the Menorah to light up the darkness of our times.
May G-d have mercy on His people and bless them in peace. ;-)

Hippie Bus Menorah
Inside, the bus still had the seats, and outside it had these cute Hippie flower pedals.
It was unique, fun, colorful, nostalgic and it rolls.
Plus you can fulfill the commandment (mitzvah) of lighting candles at Chanukah time.
What a novel piece of Judaica--love it! ;-)

Lighting The Shabbat Candles
The mother is ushering in Shabbat.
The children are gathered around.
The father is in synagogue.
The mother lights the holy candles.
She covers her eyes, and makes the blessing.
"Blessed are you, G-d, King of the Universe, who made us holy with his commandments, and commanded us to kindle the Shabbat light."
She then blesses her loved ones.
Shabbat is here, and it is time to stop all the routine, mundane things from the regular weekdays.
There is no work on the 7th day--it is the day for Hashem!
Rest, peace, and spirituality are upon us.
Let us celebrate together and rejoice.
