The following is from creationmoments.com, March 29, 2021:
“New research shows that, when attacked, many plants make chemicals that will give munching insects a bad case of indigestion. They also seem to warn their neighbors about the attack so that they, too, start up their defenses. Some plants even call in air defenses. Some plants, when attacked by caterpillars, release a scent that scientists simply describe as ‘green leaf odors.’ These odors attract certain female wasps, who home in on the plant. The wasp will sting the caterpillar, leaving him paralyzed. She then lays her eggs in the pest, who remains paralyzed until the hatching young wasps consume it. That ‘green leaf odor’ is a plant’s way of calling in air defenses. It is communication between plant and insect! Some evolutionary biologists are upset with the intelligence and design in this arrangement. Plants are supposed to be too simple to communicate. As one evolutionist put it, this is ‘not a defense against anything’ … it ‘just happens.’ I remember trying that excuse as a child. The cookie jar fell to the floor while I was trying to sneak a cookie. ‘It just happened,’ I said, as if the cookie jar had come alive before my unbelieving eyes and jumped to the floor. My mother reminded me that things don’t ‘just happen.’ And science teaches us that things don’t ‘just happen.’ Not only do we see that God exists, we also see a bit of His love in providing for the plant and His intelligence as the author of communication.

Until Joshua 11, Israel had always outnumbered their foes, even if they didn't have the same military training or equipment. Now they faced an enemy of approximately equal numbers, but with better technology and greater resources. Yet, God said "Do not be afraid of them, for tomorrow at this time I will give over all of them, slain, to Israel."
To God, there is no material difference between a single individual or an army of ten million soldiers with state-of-the-art weaponry. If they have arrayed themselves against him, he will use them for his purposes and then crush them.

Solomon had twelve officers over all Israel, who provided food for the king and his household. Each man had to make provision for one month in the year.
1 Kings 4:7
Solomon's 12 officers didn't strictly correspond to the 12 tribes, however the number was based on the number of tribes, not including Levi who would have been exempt from taxation.
Months ago, I'd found a picture post with information about a Weekly Teen Torah Study on Thursdays at 1pm via zoom. Due to joining a Thursday afternoon co-op, I'd thought the timing wouldn't work out but, now that our Thursdays have opened up, I cannot find the information.
Any chance that anyone else has information about this or another Teen Torah study?
