The Torah (Hebrew Bible) begins with the letter ב/bet (‘In the beginning’/בראשית) and ends with the letter ל/lamed. Put the letters together and you get lev/לב, which means “heart.” The Torah is the heart and soul of the Jewish people and is an expression of God’s love towards all of mankind. By learning its holy words, we glean insight into the “heart” of God. Put some lev/לב into your life by devoting a small portion of your day to the study of God’s Torah. This week only: when you purchase the complete 20-volume set of The Israel Bible, you will receive an illuminated scroll of Esther just in time for the holiday of Purim!
Last week NASA announced the discovery of a relatively close star system, but according to one opinion, the discovery comes 2,000 years after it was first described in detail by a classic Jewish text as a necessary element preceding the Messiah.
In honor of the upcoming Holiday of Purim, treat yourself, or the queen in your life to a regal, luxurious piece of Jewelry. Adorn yourself with some of the finest handcrafted Jewelry from Israel which is sure to make you feel like royalty.

It’s great to hear from you and make new friends from all over the world. Please send me an email and let me know how you are enjoying Israel365 (don’t forget to say where you are from!).
I have been getting your emails for years. I think of Israel every day, as I review what you send. In a world that believes the lies of the Arabs, in a world that professes that Israel is evil I have been given the truth. As a Christian I have ALWAYS believed in the God of Abraham and Isaac and Jacob. It is an honor to receive your wisdom on a daily basis. May God always bless you, your family, your organization and the people of Israel. -Larry Nerney
