Kristallnacht – 81 Years
On the night of November 9, 1938, violent anti-Jewish demonstrations broke out across Germany, Austria, and the Sudetenland region of Czechoslovakia. Nazi officials depicted the riots as justified reactions to the assassination of German foreign official Ernst vom Rath, who had been shot two days earlier by Herschel Grynszpan, a 17-year old Polish Jew distraught over the deportation of his family from Germany.

#ShabbatShalom - Welcome to Lech Lecha (Go Forth), this week’s Parasha (Torah Portion). We know you will be blessed as you follow along with us in this portion of Torah that will be read in synagogues around the world during the Shabbat (Saturday) service. Enjoy!
Our last Torah reading, Noach (Noah), concluded with a genealogy of Shem, Noah’s son. That genealogy ended with Terah, father of Abram, Nahor and Haran. Terah took his son Abram and Abram’s wife Sarai, as well as Lot, son of Haran, who had died, out of Ur of the Chaldeans and headed toward the Land of Canaan. Instead of reaching their destination, however, they settled at Haran where Terah lived out the rest of his days. In this week’s Parasha, at God’s command, Abram carries on with his father’s unfinished mission — to reach the Land of Canaan, the name given to the Promised Land at this time.

Weekly Torah Portion: Lech Lecha
"Olam chesed yiboneh - the world is built with kindness’" Psalms (89:3) was Avraham's unique understanding of G-d's great kindness that he gifted to humanity. G-d did not create the world for His own gain, but simply to bestow kindness on His creation. Avraham, the man of chesed - kindness - taught us that it is incumbent upon us, G-d's children, to channel G-d's loving kindness and make it manifest in our world.
Lech Lecha (Genesis 12:1 - 17:27)

Maimonides Day on the Temple Mount: The Changing Reality of Jewish Prayer
In this week's Torah portion of parashat Lech Lecha, we are introduced to the patriarch Abraham, who bequeathed the knowledge of the One G-d to all the world. In this week's edition of Temple Talk, Yitzchak Reuven and Rabbi Chaim Richman discuss Abraham's early career and spiritual path against the backdrop of the previous generations, especially that of Noah and the Flood. Plus: Celebrating the anniversary of the illustrious Maimonides' perilous ascent to the Temple Mount...on the Temple Mount! Are we witnessing the revival of Jewish prayer on the Mount? Tune in to this week's Temple Talk!
Ascending the Temple Mount on Rambam Day, 5780
vid> https://youtu.be/Wm131LpMlEQ (7:00) 11/4/19
On the 6th day of the Hebrew month of Cheshvan, 854 years ago, the great Jewish sage, Maimonides, (Rambam), at great peril to his life, ascended the Temple Mount and prayed at the place of the Holy Temple. His Temple Mount prayer was the climax of a journey fraught with danger that Maimoinides took by sea from Morocco to the land of Israel during the time of Crusader rule. Rambam was so moved by his ascent and prayer on the Temple Mount he instructed his children and his children's children to mark the day with a festive meal to the end of time. Honoring Rambam by ascending the Temple Mount each year on the day of his ascent has become a modern tradition. Ascending the Temple Mount on any day, when done in accordance to halacha (Jewish law), fulfills the positive commandment of Mora Mikdash - showing G-d reverence in the place of His Holy Temple.

✡ In memory of Michael Weisz
Sadly, Michael Weisz, the father of Rabbi Tuly, left this world yesterday after a long battle with pancreatic cancer.
He passed peacefully at home surrounded by his loving family who spent the final hours in prayer.
Rabbi Tuly Weisz’s Eulogy for His Father, Michael Weisz
My grandfather, George Weisz would walk to synagogue every Sabbath holding my dad and aunt’s hand and make them promise that they would always remain Sabbath-observant Jews, loyal to God’s commandments. That was the kind of home my grandparents worked so hard to recreate after the Holocaust, rebuilding a new life from scratch in the United States, and that was the home my father grew up in.
https://www.israel365.com/
Michael Weisz loved Israel365 and especially “The Israel Bible” which he gave generous support to and was proud that it helped so many learn about the deeper significance of Israel. The Michael Weisz Memorial Fund will support his legacy long into the future.

Former MK Analyzes Israel’s Political Impasse and Suggestions to Avoid Another Election
by JNS
Israel’s election impasse doesn’t appear to be waning as the country is closing in on nearly two months since its second national election in September. In the past several days, various reports have emerged and faded over proposals to break the logjam, which have led to more discussion over the possibility of an unprecedented third election in less than a year.

Are Jared and Ivanka taking the gloves off?

Last month, in a rare media interview, Kushner took an even rarer swipe at one of the president’s opponents, saying he had been busy “cleaning up the messes” Vice President Joe Biden left behind in the Middle East. And Ivanka — whose Twitter feed is best described as part travelogue, part booster of good economic data — recently featured a tweet describing her father as surrounded by “enemies and spies.”

THERE IS NO DIPLOMATIC SOLUTION
How Putin Outfoxed Trump, Pence and Erdogan
by Malcolm Lowe, GATESTONE INSTITUTE
On October 17, brandishing President Donald Trump’s threat to destroy the Turkish economy, US Vice President Mike Pence visited Turkish President Recep Tayyip Erdogan. On October 22, Erdogan went to visit Russian President Vladimir Putin. Trump claimed the entire credit for this outcome. But in reality it was the culmination of a scheme that Putin had been planning since at least January 2019, when he promoted a meeting between representatives of the Syrian Kurds and of the Assad regime. In short, the two meetings ended with the US administration claiming its strategic wisdom precisely as it surrendered its former substantial influence in Syria and established Russian supremacy in Syria. Before we examine the details, however, a brief geography lesson is needed.

Iranian strike on Saudi oil facilities a global wake-up call, defense official warns
We are advancing in cruise missiles, and the Iranians are advancing. This is an arms race.
by Yaakov Lappin, JNS, Israel Hayom Staff
The Sept. 14 combined cruise missile and drone attack on the Abqaiq Saudi oil facility, which caused extensive damage and has been attributed to Iran, is a “global wake-up call for understanding that the threat is here and now,” a senior former Israeli air-defense source said on Thursday. The Saudis did not have any prior intelligence warning, and their advanced air-defense systems – one of the largest in the region – failed to stop the attack, noted the source.

This week’s Parsha Lech Lecha is a story of faith and of secrets.
Hashem does not reveal the location of the Promised Land until after Abraham embarks on his journey. The beauty of Sarah is revealed to Abraham and he decides to hide the true identity of his wife from the Pharaoh. Abraham launches a clandestine operation to rescue his brother from the evil kings. An angel reveals the blessing of a son to a barren and distraught Sarah. Hashem is described as the “God of Seeing” because for Abraham and Sarah, at their age, it is almost impossible to imagine progeny numbering like the stars in the sky. This week seeing is believing as we reveal some of our favorite Fall flavored recipes that work perfectly in an easy Shabbat Menu.

Kristallnacht – 81 Years
On the night of November 9, 1938, violent anti-Jewish demonstrations broke out across Germany, Austria, and the Sudetenland region of Czechoslovakia. Nazi officials depicted the riots as justified reactions to the assassination of German foreign official Ernst vom Rath, who had been shot two days earlier by Herschel Grynszpan, a 17-year old Polish Jew distraught over the deportation of his family from Germany.

#ShabbatShalom - Welcome to Lech Lecha (Go Forth), this week’s Parasha (Torah Portion). We know you will be blessed as you follow along with us in this portion of Torah that will be read in synagogues around the world during the Shabbat (Saturday) service. Enjoy!
Our last Torah reading, Noach (Noah), concluded with a genealogy of Shem, Noah’s son. That genealogy ended with Terah, father of Abram, Nahor and Haran. Terah took his son Abram and Abram’s wife Sarai, as well as Lot, son of Haran, who had died, out of Ur of the Chaldeans and headed toward the Land of Canaan. Instead of reaching their destination, however, they settled at Haran where Terah lived out the rest of his days. In this week’s Parasha, at God’s command, Abram carries on with his father’s unfinished mission — to reach the Land of Canaan, the name given to the Promised Land at this time.

Weekly Torah Portion: Lech Lecha
"Olam chesed yiboneh - the world is built with kindness’" Psalms (89:3) was Avraham's unique understanding of G-d's great kindness that he gifted to humanity. G-d did not create the world for His own gain, but simply to bestow kindness on His creation. Avraham, the man of chesed - kindness - taught us that it is incumbent upon us, G-d's children, to channel G-d's loving kindness and make it manifest in our world.
Lech Lecha (Genesis 12:1 - 17:27)
Parashat Lech Lecha is read on Shabbat: Marcheshvan 11, 5780 / November 9, 2019

Maimonides Day on the Temple Mount: The Changing Reality of Jewish Prayer
In this week's Torah portion of parashat Lech Lecha, we are introduced to the patriarch Abraham, who bequeathed the knowledge of the One G-d to all the world. In this week's edition of Temple Talk, Yitzchak Reuven and Rabbi Chaim Richman discuss Abraham's early career and spiritual path against the backdrop of the previous generations, especially that of Noah and the Flood. Plus: Celebrating the anniversary of the illustrious Maimonides' perilous ascent to the Temple Mount...on the Temple Mount! Are we witnessing the revival of Jewish prayer on the Mount? Tune in to this week's Temple Talk!
Ascending the Temple Mount on Rambam Day, 5780
vid> https://youtu.be/Wm131LpMlEQ (7:00) 11/4/19
On the 6th day of the Hebrew month of Cheshvan, 854 years ago, the great Jewish sage, Maimonides, (Rambam), at great peril to his life, ascended the Temple Mount and prayed at the place of the Holy Temple. His Temple Mount prayer was the climax of a journey fraught with danger that Maimoinides took by sea from Morocco to the land of Israel during the time of Crusader rule. Rambam was so moved by his ascent and prayer on the Temple Mount he instructed his children and his children's children to mark the day with a festive meal to the end of time. Honoring Rambam by ascending the Temple Mount each year on the day of his ascent has become a modern tradition. Ascending the Temple Mount on any day, when done in accordance to halacha (Jewish law), fulfills the positive commandment of Mora Mikdash - showing G-d reverence in the place of His Holy Temple.

Sadly, Michael Weisz, the father of Rabbi Tuly, left this world yesterday after a long battle with pancreatic cancer.
He passed peacefully at home surrounded by his loving family who spent the final hours in prayer.
Rabbi Tuly Weisz’s Eulogy for His Father, Michael Weisz
My grandfather, George Weisz would walk to synagogue every Sabbath holding my dad and aunt’s hand and make them promise that they would always remain Sabbath-observant Jews, loyal to God’s commandments. That was the kind of home my grandparents worked so hard to recreate after the Holocaust, rebuilding a new life from scratch in the United States, and that was the home my father grew up in.
https://www.israel365.com/
Michael Weisz loved Israel365 and especially “The Israel Bible” which he gave generous support to and was proud that it helped so many learn about the deeper significance of Israel. The Michael Weisz Memorial Fund will support his legacy long into the future.

Former MK Analyzes Israel’s Political Impasse and Suggestions to Avoid Another Election

Israel’s election impasse doesn’t appear to be waning as the country is closing in on nearly two months since its second national election in September. In the past several days, various reports have emerged and faded over proposals to break the logjam, which have led to more discussion over the possibility of an unprecedented third election in less than a year.

And Ivanka — whose Twitter feed is best described as part travelogue, part booster of good economic data — recently featured a tweet describing her father as surrounded by “enemies and spies.”

THERE IS NO DIPLOMATIC SOLUTION
How Putin Outfoxed Trump, Pence and Erdogan
by Malcolm Lowe, GATESTONE INSTITUTE
On October 17, brandishing President Donald Trump’s threat to destroy the Turkish economy, US Vice President Mike Pence visited Turkish President Recep Tayyip Erdogan. On October 22, Erdogan went to visit Russian President Vladimir Putin. Trump claimed the entire credit for this outcome. But in reality it was the culmination of a scheme that Putin had been planning since at least January 2019, when he promoted a meeting between representatives of the Syrian Kurds and of the Assad regime. In short, the two meetings ended with the US administration claiming its strategic wisdom precisely as it surrendered its former substantial influence in Syria and established Russian supremacy in Syria. Before we examine the details, however, a brief geography lesson is needed.

Iranian strike on Saudi oil facilities a global wake-up call, defense official warns
We are advancing in cruise missiles, and the Iranians are advancing. This is an arms race.
by Yaakov Lappin, JNS, Israel Hayom Staff
The Sept. 14 combined cruise missile and drone attack on the Abqaiq Saudi oil facility, which caused extensive damage and has been attributed to Iran, is a “global wake-up call for understanding that the threat is here and now,” a senior former Israeli air-defense source said on Thursday. The Saudis did not have any prior intelligence warning, and their advanced air-defense systems – one of the largest in the region – failed to stop the attack, noted the source.

Hashem does not reveal the location of the Promised Land until after Abraham embarks on his journey. The beauty of Sarah is revealed to Abraham and he decides to hide the true identity of his wife from the Pharaoh. Abraham launches a clandestine operation to rescue his brother from the evil kings. An angel reveals the blessing of a son to a barren and distraught Sarah. Hashem is described as the “God of Seeing” because for Abraham and Sarah, at their age, it is almost impossible to imagine progeny numbering like the stars in the sky.

Shabbat Shalom - Parasha Lech Lecha - Crossing Over Into Destiny !!!
Samaria landscape
Shabbat Shalom!
Welcome to Lech Lecha (Go Forth),
this week’s Parasha (Torah Portion).
this week’s Parasha (Torah Portion).
We know you will be blessed as you follow along with us in this portion of Torah that will be read in synagogues around the world during the Shabbat (Saturday) service. Enjoy!
LECH LECHA (GO FORTH!)
Genesis 12:1–17:27; Isaiah 40:27–41:16; Matthew 1:1–17
“Adonai said to Abram, ‘Go forth [lech lecha] from your country, your people and your father’s household to the land I will show you ... and I will bless you.’” (Genesis 12:1–2)
Our last Torah reading, Noach (Noah), concluded with a genealogy of Shem, Noah’s son. That genealogy ended with Terah, father of Abram, Nahor and Haran. Terah took his son Abram and Abram’s wife Sarai, as well as Lot, son of Haran, who had died, out of Ur of the Chaldeans and headed toward the Land of Canaan.
Instead of reaching their destination, however, they settled at Haran where Terah lived out the rest of his days
In this week’s Parasha, at God’s command, Abram carries on with his father’s unfinished mission — to reach the Land of Canaan, the name given to the Promised Land at this time.
Carrying the Torah at the Western (Wailing) Wall in Jerusalem
The Covenant of God and the Promised Land
“Abram passed through the land to the place of Shechem, as far as the terebinth tree of Moreh. And the Canaanites were then in the land.” (Genesis 12:6)
Abram and his wife, Sarai, become the first settlers of the Holy Land by packing up their belongings and homesteading in Elon Moreh, near Shechem (modern day Nablus) in
Israel's heartland of Samaria.
Israel's heartland of Samaria.
God, the original Zionist, made an eternal promise to give the Land to Abram and his offspring: "To your offspring will I give this land.”
(Genesis 12:7)
(Genesis 12:7)
At that time, the Canaanites controlled the land; nevertheless, God reassured Abram that it would one day belong to his offspring
— the Jewish People.
— the Jewish People.
We may see a clear correlation to the political situation in
the Middle East today.
the Middle East today.
The Palestinians have gained control of large tracts of land within Israel, which leaves many Israelis wanting to see the Promised Land divided. They believe that establishing a separate Palestinian state beside a Jewish state will create peace.
The Caravan of Abraham, by James Tissot
Many around the globe also think two states for two peoples is a fair solution because some of the Arabs that currently live in Israel have roots that go back several centuries. Most, however, came in a massive wave of immigration from surrounding lands
in the 19th and 20th centuries.
in the 19th and 20th centuries.
Therefore, some wonder if the Jewish People have returned
to the Land in vain.
to the Land in vain.
Rivers of tears and pools of blood have been shed in order to reclaim our God-given land. Did all those who risked and even sacrificed their lives to drain malaria-infested swamps, to re-plant the land, to re-build the cities, and to defend this nation against the hordes of
enemies do so in vain?
enemies do so in vain?
Have the Jewish People survived the threat of extermination throughout 2,000 years of persecution — pogroms and inquisitions and even the Holocaust — in the lands of their exile, finally to return to their Promised Land, just to be driven out once and for all by
hate-crazed, religious radicals?
hate-crazed, religious radicals?
Only if God breaks His covenant.
“‘Though the mountains be shaken and the hills be removed, yet My unfailing love for you will not be shaken nor My covenant of peace be removed,' says the LORD, who has compassion on you.’” (Isaiah 54:10)
Two Jewish boys stand before the Torah scroll.
God made more than a promise to Abram. In Genesis 15, God made a blood covenant with him that included giving this land to his descendants through Isaac and Jacob as an eternal inheritance:
“I will establish My covenant as an everlasting covenant between Me and you and your descendants after you for the generations to come, to be your God and the God of your descendants after you. The whole land of Canaan, where you now reside as a foreigner, I will give as an everlasting possession to you and your descendants after you; and I will be their God.”
(Genesis 17:7–8; also Genesis 15:5–7)
To Isaac:
“To you [Isaac] and your descendants I will give all these lands and will confirm the oath I swore to your father Abraham [God changed Abram's name to Abraham in Genesis 17:5].” (Genesis 26:3)
To Jacob:
“I am the Lord, the God of your father Abraham and the God of Isaac. I will give you [Jacob] and your descendants the land on which you are lying. Your descendants will be like the dust of the earth, and ... all peoples on earth will be blessed through you and your offspring.” (Genesis 28:13–14)
Abram Guarding His Sacrifice, by James Tissot
Abram did not have to do a thing to establish this covenant with God. In chapter 15 of Genesis, God alone walked through the animals that Abram offered, indicating that the covenant he cut
with Abram was unconditional.
with Abram was unconditional.
God actually caused a deep sleep to fall on Abram when He made the covenant with him, probably to emphasize that God alone is making this unconditional promise and also to prevent Abram from walking through it (Genesis 15:8–20). In ancient covenant practices, both parties would walk through the offering if it were conditional.
With so many Scriptures declaring God's everlasting promise, our claim to this land is not political, but by Divine right.
Of course, there is great opposition to God’s Word. The Canaanites had their weapons and allies, and so do the enemies of Israel today; both gained some temporary victories in their efforts to claim the land as their own but, ultimately, God owns the land and
can give it to whomever He wishes.
can give it to whomever He wishes.
His everlasting covenant with Abram will stand.
A father walks with his sons in Israel.
Walking the Land as the First Hebrew
“Arise, walk in the land through its length and its width,
for I give it to you.” (Genesis 13:17)
for I give it to you.” (Genesis 13:17)
When God commanded Abram to walk the length and breadth of the land, it was not just for a little sightseeing stroll; it fulfilled a legal custom in ancient times to claim ownership of
a property by walking through it.
a property by walking through it.
Egyptian and Hittite kings would regularly leave their grand palaces to take a ceremonial walk through their countryside in order to confirm their ownership of the land.
In Mesopotamia, according to ancient records, the seller of a property would lift his foot off the land and purposefully set the buyers foot upon it. This may further explain the cultural context of the Scripture in which God promises to give Joshua “every place the
sole of his foot treads upon.”
sole of his foot treads upon.”
“I will give you every place where you set your foot,
as I promised Moses.” (Joshua 1:3)
as I promised Moses.” (Joshua 1:3)
Legally, then, when Abram walked the length and breadth of the land, he took possession of it for himself and his descendants as an eternal possession.
A Jewish man reads a Torah scroll at the Western (Wailing) Wall. (Photo
by Etienne Valois)
Talmudic rabbis (ancient rabbinic commentators of Scripture) have compared Abram’s walk through the land to a vial of perfume that only gives off scent when moved, wafting the fragrance of faith throughout the Promised Land.
Whereas Noah walked “with” God; Abram walked “before” God, paving the way for the world to come to the knowledge of
faith in the one true God.
faith in the one true God.
Abram had an ability to cross over borders: He not only crossed from Mesopotamia to Canaan, he courageously crossed from a world of idol worship to a world in which the
one true God was worshiped, instead.
one true God was worshiped, instead.
The world stood on one side and he stood with truth on the other.
He crossed over into his destiny, and his descendants inherited the reward and blessing as well as the characteristic of being those who cross over.
For this reason, Abram became the first person to be called an Ivri—the one who crossed over. This word comes from the Hebrew verb la’avor (to cross over) and is transliterated into English simply as a Hebrew.
Lech Lecha, therefore, is one of the most exciting chapters in the Torah (first five books of the Bible), since it chronicles the adventures of the first Hebrew with God.
May we, too, come to this life-altering place where we “cross over” into a new, exciting adventure in our life with Him.

Abram Wins the War of the Kings
“And there was strife between the herdsmen of Abram’s livestock and the herdsmen of Lot’s livestock.” (Genesis 13:7)
In chapter 13 of Genesis, Abram and his nephew Lot have become quite wealthy. Their herds are so large that the land cannot support all of them. (Genesis 13:6)
Consequently, strife breaks out between the herdsmen of Abram and Lot, and instead of diffusing the situation,
they decide to part ways.
We may perhaps see a hint of the underlying source of strife through the choice that Lot makes.

We may perhaps see a hint of the underlying source of strife through the choice that Lot makes.
When Abram offers him first choice of the area, Lot chooses the best for himself, instead of insisting that his uncle, who has treated him much like a son, take the best.
Lot chooses the green, fertile plains of the Jordan near Sodom and Gomorrah and Abram moves on to the plains of Mamre (Hebron).
“And Lot lifted his eyes and saw all the plain of Jordan, that it was well watered everywhere (before the Lord destroyed Sodom and Gomorrah) like the garden of the Lord, like the land of Egypt as you go toward Zoar. Then Lot chose for himself all the plain of Jordan, and Lot journeyed east. And they separated from each other.” (Genesis 13:10–11)

blessing is there for the taking.
Soon after parting company, Lot needs Abram’s aid when four powerful kings capture all of Sodom, including Lot. Abram rounds up a small army of 318 men and frees the captives:
“And he [Abram] and his servants deployed against them at night and struck them; he pursued them as far as Hobah, which is to the north of Damascus. And he brought back all the possessions; he also brought back his kinsman, Lot, with his possessions, as well as the women and the people.” (Genesis 14:15–16)
Not only did Abram reveal military prowess and valor in the War of the Kings, he also showed great self-sacrifice and kindness toward his nephew Lot. With a very small army, vastly outnumbered by the four kings and their armies, Abram risked his own life to save his nephew’s.
Such valor is demonstrated by our police officers and ordinary citizens who confront terrorists on the streets of Jerusalem.
Here in Israel, we are all mishpacha (family); therefore, just as with Abram, Israelis do not allow themselves to succumb to fear or freeze at the possible consequences of protecting civilians; instead, many rush to protect strangers at the risk of their own lives.
Let us pray that Israelis and their leaders will be strong and of good courage, sincerely seeking God, as the end-time threat of annihilation plays out against this nation.

The Destiny of Abraham — Eternal Salvation
Parasha Lech Lecha spans Abram’s life from the age of 75 to 99.
That means he lived most of his life without really knowing his destiny — not until God revealed it to him through a covenant that led to a name change. Abraham waited again a long time before he began to see its fulfillment through a son named Isaac.
In this Parasha, God tells him, “No longer shall your name be called Abram [אַבְרָם] but your name shall be Abraham [אַבְרָהָם]; for I have made you a father of many nations [or Gentiles — אַב-הֲמוֹן גּוֹיִם].” (Genesis 17:5)
With the addition of only one Hebrew letter — the letter hey (ה) — Abram (exalted father) became Abraham—exalted father of a multitude of nations.
The Hebrew consonant ה is often used as an abbreviation for the name of God and is found twice in God’s personal name — YHVH. So by adding this letter to Abram’s name, God added Himself as Abba Father to Abraham’s nature, character, and destiny.
By adding the letter hey to Abraham’s wife’s name, it changed from Sarai (My Princess) to Sarah (Princess of the whole world).
For this reason, it is traditionally believed that a change of name can change one’s destiny.

God did not only promise Abraham the land of Israel, but also that he would be a blessing to the nations
(Genesis 12:2; 18:18; 22:17–18; 26:3–4).
(Genesis 12:2; 18:18; 22:17–18; 26:3–4).
Today, there are countless ways in which God fulfills this promise to Abraham through the nation of Israel. Israel's technological, agricultural, and medical innovations and advances are
helping people around the globe.
helping people around the globe.
But the most meaningful fulfillment of this promise is the Word of God that the Jewish People have faithfully protected and brought to the world, as well as eternal salvation through faith in Yeshua HaMashiach (Jesus the Messiah):
“All praise to God, the Father of our Lord Yeshua the Messiah. It is by His great mercy that we have been born again, because God raised Yeshua the Messiah from the dead. Now we live with great expectation, and we have a priceless inheritance—an inheritance that is kept in heaven for you, pure and undefiled, beyond the reach of change and decay.
“And through your faith, God is protecting you by His power until you receive this salvation, which is ready to be revealed on the last day for all to see.” (1 Peter 1:3–5)
Abram Called to Be a Blessing (1906 Providence Lithograph

God’s destiny for Abraham to become the father of a multitude of nations (even Gentile nations) is fulfilled in a significant way through Yeshua, who is a direct descendant of
Abraham, Isaac and Jacob (Matthew 1:2–17).
Abraham, Isaac and Jacob (Matthew 1:2–17).
Anyone from any tribe, tongue, or nationality who declares faith in Yeshua becomes an heir of Abraham:
“There is neither Jew nor Greek, there is neither slave nor free, there is neither male nor female; for you are all one in Messiah Yeshua. And if you are Messiah’s then you are Abraham’s seed, and heirs according to the promise.” (Galatians 3:27–29)
Time is short, and the vast majority of Jewish people
do not yet know Yeshua.

We need your help to complete the Messianic Prophecy Bible, which is being specially designed to show the Jewish People how Yeshua fulfills God's feasts, prophecies, and promises.

The Jewish people (the People of the Book)gave the world the BIBLE. Today there are about 14 million
Jewish people in the world though most have never studied

Many have falsely said that God is finished with His
