Travel to Israel

Sukkot refers to the Jewish holiday commemorating those forty years in which the Jewish people wandered in the desert. During this holiday the Kurd congregation in Israel holds a colorful out door festivity. Lets join our Israeli correspondent Isabella Xiong for more. Kurdistan is the geographical area that spreads out over parts of Turkey, Iraq, Iran, Syria and Armenia. Most of the Jewish Kurds immigrated to Israel during 1950. Today the community consists more than 160,000 people that are scattered all over Israel with a majority that is located in Jerusalem. This community strives to preserve its tradition, culture and the Aramaic language. This Sarane festivity conveys the care for nature by celebrating it with folk songs and dances, yet a major part of the festivity is simply enjoying out doors with family members and friends. [Abraham Siman Tov, Community Leader]: This is a community with a lot of character and Im proud to be a part of it. A member of a diligent, and devoted community that its people don't need others apart from themselves people are doing for themselves, for the community and for the country. Mordechai Yona screened the movie From Exile to Salvation which presents the Jewish way of life in Kurdistan, as it was in the past. Mr. Yona, believes this movie can help the younger generation to preserve their heritage. This year the participants in the Sarane festival were mainly young people. We noticed one man in particular who stood apart from all the others. He danced the whole evening and encouraged others to join the people that were dancing in circles. [Yosef Rabin, Participant]: The responsibility of the leader is to guide and also to watch peoples steps within this circle that I lead without creating any gaps between them. Since everybody else in this circle but me are holding hands, Im the only one who can make more moves. The duration of the melody, though, surprised me. Each music piece lasted for about 15 minutes so...no wonder the leader was soaking wet.

Yonah was the only one who knew He said, "This storm is because of me For away from G-d I tried to flee Just pick me up throw me in the sea And then HASHEM will let you be" The sailors thought that was too hardcore Instead they tried to row back to shore But when the storm increased even more They listened and threw Yonah overboard And from the moment that he was released The waters were calm and the wind just ceased HASHEM let the sailors go in peace While Yonah sunk to the deepest deeps G-d sent a giant whale his way It swallowed Yonah, and there he stayed Inside the whale, for three full days He turned his heart to HASHEM, he prayed And since G-d hears the voice of man He forgave Yonah and gave the command For the whale to spit him out on dry land And Yonah was back right where he began It's Yom Kippur, and I need much more Atonement than I could ever hope for This song I send to you my friend In case I offended lets make amends Please forgive me if I wronged you If you wronged me I forgive you too And may G-d forgive all of Yisrael Like He forgave Yonah in the whale Now the word of HASHEM came back that day To Yonah, again saying, "Don't delay Go to the great city of Nineveh And say to them what I tell you to say" Yonah complied and went for a ride To the great city which was so wide A three day walk from side to side He entered the center of town, and cried He said, "Pay attention, for Nineveh Will be wiped away, in forty days" But the people heard what he had to say They believed in G-d so they changed their ways All over the city it became known His word even reached the king on his throne Who commanded that all of his people atone Their transformation became full blown They fasted and sat in ashes, lamented From their deeds, G-d saw they'd repented They stopped doing evil, so He relented But Yonah was angry at G-d he vented "I'm fed up, is this not why I fled? When you should do harm to the wicked instead You show them mercy, so now go ahead And take my life, cause I'd rather be dead" HASHEM decided He had to show Yonah a lesson, for he did not know So He commanded a plant to grow It rose up above Yonah's head below He felt relieved as he sat in its shade And greatly rejoiced in the plant G-d made But G-d sent a worm the very next day To attack the plant and the plant decayed The sun beat down on Yonah's head Until his skin was burnt and red He asked for his soul to die for he said "With this kind of life I'm better off dead" God said to Yonah, "I really can't Believe that you're grieving about one plant Which you did not work for in any way Which sprouted and died in single a day And as for me shall I not take pity Upon Nineveh, this enormous city With thousands of human beings who might Not know their left hand from their right" It's Yom Kippur, and I need much more Atonement than I could ever hope for This song I send to you my friend In case I offended lets make amends Please forgive me if I wronged you If you wronged me I forgive you too And may G-d forgive all of Yisrael Like He forgave Yonah in the whale

http://www.maozisrael.org Is it true that Yeshua(Jesus) celebrated Passover? Is it true that He was actually crucified on Passover? Is it true that His last supper was a Passover meal? Yes, yes and yes. The story of Yeshua and the story of Passover are inextricably connected. The Bible teaches that Yeshua is indeed the Passover lamb or sacrifice for all mankind. In this video, see how Israel is celebrating the holiday of Passover in 2010 and how believers in Yeshua are celebrating Passover in their hearts, every day! http://www.maozisrael.org

Zahi Shaked A tour guide in Israel and his camera. +972 54 6905522 [email protected] צחי שקד, מורה דרך ומדריך תיירים. מצלם אותם בכל הזדמנות 0546905522 This page is devoted to the Church of the Milk Grotto, in Bethlehem, a place traditionally described as the site where the Virgin Mary stopped to breast feed the Baby Jesus during the flight to Egypt. "And after the wise men departed, behold an angel of the Lord appeared in sleep to Joseph, saying Arise, and take the child and his mother and fly into Egypt: and be there until I shall tell thee. For it will come to pass that Herod will seek the child to destroy him." Matthew II 13-19. A legend recalls how Mary spilt some milk while breast feeding baby Jesus thus turning the stone of this cave a "white stone" color. The church was built on this site and contains the "white stone rock"The powdery substance of this rock is evident to this very day. In Bethlehem this church has for long centuries been a traditional devotional site; the church which known as "Magharet el Saiyidee" in Arabic meaning The Grotto of our Lady, can be found southeast of the Basilica of the Nativity, this church is frequently visited by local women, Christians and Moslems alike, to ask for the intercession of Mary Mother of Jesus. For an account of Mary and Joseph flight into Egypt read this document as excerpted from Otto Meinardus book entitled "Holy Family In Egypt". For further more information and the open hours of the church please visit the The Palestinian Ministry of Tourism & Antiquities This church was built by St. Paula, who lived in Bethlehem and died there in 404 A.D., this church was naturally dedicated to the Virgin Mary, but at one time was called St. Paula (either by mistake by the builder or for one of the numerous other churches built in Bethlehem by St. Paula). In the 14th Century this church was known as the Church of St. Nicholas, as shown in a Papal Bull of Gregory XI in 1375, authorizing the Franciscans to rebuild it, which was not then done. The Franciscans first took possession of the church sometime after 1347 after they became caretakers of the Sanctuary of the Nativity. The soft white stones in this church were exported to many European churches under the name of The Virgin's Milk. It was one of these relics that Gerard III, Bishop of Bethlehem, took to the camp of King Baldwin III during the siege of Ascalon in 1153. The present building around the Grotto was put up by the Franciscans in 1872, some of the old church mosaics and traces of original walls remain to this day. The church was extensively rebuilt, remodeled, and adorned with marble and hand cut sculptures, benches, icons, and engravings by Issa A. Michael Hazboun and sons in 1934-1935. Another tradition going back to the VII century is located at this site and is the burial place of the innocent children which were the victims killed by Herod the Great after Jesus' birth.

The Passover Seder and holiday is a beautiful remembrance of the miracles G-d performed for us in Egypt and a warm and joyous time for families to get together and give thanks to G-d. But the central and most essential part of the holiday has been missing for two thousand years: the Passover offering itself. The very act of performing the offering is an act of defiant independence, a strike for freedom from the idolatries that lead us from our true purpose: making way for G-d in our world. Chag Pesach Kasher veSameach: A happy Passover to all! The footage in this video was taken from the Temple Institute's special symposium about the Passover offering, which included a simulation of the Passover offering in the Holy Temple. It was not intended to be an actual offering, as the Passover offering must take place on the Temple Mount.

She said, "This wicked Haman is the man!" He trembled in terror he lost control He begged queen Esther to spare his soul But the king decided Haman must die On the gallows that he had made for Mordechai This song goes out to Ahmadinejad The Jews don't fear you, we fear God We don't give damn, about your evil plans Cause no man can stand up against God's hand Not first to curse us, won't be the last And if I were you a would learn from the past Many came before you to do us wrong But they're all long gone and we still stand strong President of Iran your just like Haman But instead of the gallows you're building a bomb You want to see Mordechai's family dead But your wickedness'll drop down on your own head Open your ears, we won't disappear Been here three thousand eight hundred years We were slaves to Pharaoh, but God set us free And tossed the Egyptians in the Red Sea The wicked Balak and Bilaam tried messing With us, but their curse turn into a blessing Canaanites tried to fight us but all Of them had to fall like Jericho's walls Goliath the Philistine talked a lot Before he got knocked him out with a slingshot Assyrians conquered every other land But they ran when they came up against God's hand Babylon took us into captivity But we're back, they been gone since BCE And Haman, who decreed every Jew should die Got hanged on the gallows he made for Mordechai Our enemies fade but we still exist Do you really want to add your name to the list? You've warned if you don't proceed with caution We'll name a food after you like Hamantaschen This song goes out to Ahmadinejad The Jews don't fear you, we fear God We don't give damn, about your evil plans Cause no man can stand up against God's hand Not first to curse us, won't be the last And if I were you a would learn from the past Many came before you to do us wrong But they're all long gone and we still stand strong
