Over the last several years, my community has made it a special mission to send delegates to Jerusalem for Sukkot to honor the Mitzvah and to be present before the Almighty for the sake of there being rain on our land.
For the last couple of years, due to the situation of the world, we have been unable to do so. All over the world, and, most especially important to me, here in the SouthWest USA, we are seeing a terrible drought.
My brethren, please let us obey His Word and send people to Jerusalem for Sukkot for the sake of rain for the nations, to do our part to turn away the horrific consequences of severe drought and famine. Let us againstand in our priestly role before the Almighty for these people and present ourselves before Him to appeal for His favor and rains upon our lands.

Blessings in His name,
מ.

“Then God blessed the seventh day and made it holy, because on it he rested from all the work of creating that he had done” (Genesis 2:3). ? Shabbat shalom!

We may be free to choose to turn our backs to our Creator, but that is not going to make us happy. Psalm 89;15, “Happy are the people who know how to praise you. LORD, let them live in the light of your presence.”

Shabbat shalom ❤️??????

Happy day of rest! HalleluYah!

Thought for Today: Shabbat August 20:

Remember, thankfulness opens the door to YHVH’s Presence. Though He is always with you, He has gone to great measures to preserve your freedom of choice. He has placed a door between you and Him and He has empowered you to open or close that door. There are many ways to open it, but a grateful attitude is one of the most effective. Thankfulness is built on a substructure of trust. When thankful words stick in your throat, you need to check up on your foundation of trust. When thankfulness flows freely from your heart and lips, let your gratitude draw you closer to Him. He wants you to learn the art of giving thanks in all circumstances. See how many times you can thank Him daily; this will awaken your awareness to a multitude of blessings. It will also cushion the impact of trials when they come against you. Practice His Presence by practicing the discipline of thankfulness.
