The period of the Jewish calendar where we find ourselves in now is the saddest time of the year, the three weeks when we commemorate the loss of both Holy Temples in Jerusalem. People born during this period are often given names of hope and comfortbased on the Hebrew root “Nachum” which means to comfort. Hebrew names include “Menachem” or “Nachum” for men, while the feminine version is the beautiful name “Nechama.”
In the spirit of the Three Weeks of mourning for the destruction of the Temple in Jerusalem, this week’s video is solemn yet moving. Listen to Neshama Carlebach’s heartfelt rendition of Isaiah 40.
Pastor John Hagee of CUFI shared his hopes for the future of the pro-Israel Christian movement and offered his strongest arguments in favor of supporting Israel.
