God will never forsake His covenant with Israel because apostasy, forgiveness, and restoration are all accounted within it. He knew from the beginning that we wouldn't keep it, but he promised to hold up his end anyway. God never expected perfect obedience from #israel or else #torah wouldn't have provisions for atonement and forgiveness. The blessings that God promised for obedience will always be mixed because we are imperfect and incapable of perfect obedience, but we will still be blessed in the effort.
We wanted a Hebrew clock for our living room, rather than one with "Arabic" or "Roman" numerals, so I looked online and found nothing but cheap junk. I decided to make one, and just finished it. What do you think?
This one exactly matches our furniture. It is natural slate with a handmade frame. I gold-leafed the letters, and the center is beadblasted solid brass. It's about 16 inches square.
Since we liked it somuch and I had extra materials left over, I decided to make 3 more. One will be all brass instead of slate tile, with black frame, numbers & hands; another will be a full 18 inch large natural slate; and another made using a hand finished wooden plate with a brass center.
I'm thinking of selling them and donating the proceeds to our national prison ministry which supports inmates of our faith. Is anyone interested?

The name of this week's #torah portion, Ekev, means "because" ("Because you listen...") Here's a list of Apostolic passages to study alongside Parsha #ekev (#deuteronomy 7:12-11:25), plus links to related commentary and video: https://www.americantorah.com/....2021/01/22/parsha-ei
Interesting choice of photos for your event - the aircraft depicted is a German "Stuka," the famous and most favored Nazi dive-bomber which killed hundreds of thousands of our allied forces and civilians in World War Two. The Nazi's were also the organization that exterminated 6 million Jews.
Luk 17:1-4 LSV 1 And He said to the disciples, “It is impossible for the stumbling blocks not to come, but woe to him through whom they come; 2 it is more profitable to him if a weighty millstone is put around his neck, and he has been cast into the sea, than that he may cause one of these little ones to stumble. 3 Take heed to yourselves, and if your brother may sin in regard to you, rebuke him, and if he may change his mind, forgive him, 4 and if seven times in the day he may sin against you, and seven times in the day may return to you, saying, I change my mind, you will forgive him.”
Mar 9:33-42 LSV 33 And He came to Capernaum, and being in the house, He was questioning them, “What were you reasoning in the way among yourselves?” 34 And they were silent, for they reasoned with one another in the way who is greater; 35 and having sat down He called the Twelve, and He says to them, “If any wills to be first, he will be last of all, and minister of all.” 36 And having taken a child, He set him in the midst of them, and having taken him in His arms, said to them, 37 “Whoever may receive one of such children in My Name, receives Me, and whoever may receive Me, does not receive Me, but Him who sent Me.” 38 And John answered Him, saying, “Teacher, we saw a certain one casting out demons in Your Name, who does not follow us, and we forbade him, because he does not follow us.” 39 And Jesus said, “Do not forbid him, for there is no one who will do a mighty work in My Name, and will be readily able to speak evil of Me: 40 for he who is not against us is for us; 41 for whoever may give you to drink a cup of water in My Name, because you are Christ’s, truly I say to you, he may not lose his reward; 42 and whoever may cause to stumble one of the little ones believing in Me, better is it for him if a millstone is hanged around his neck, and he has been cast into the sea.
