TISHUVAH

Then on that day did David first ordain to give thanks unto the LORD, by the hand of Asaph and his brethren. O give thanks unto the LORD, call upon His name; make known His doings among the peoples. Sing unto Him, sing praises unto Him; speak ye of all His marvellous works. Glory ye in His holy name; let the heart of them rejoice that seek the LORD. Seek ye the LORD and His strength; seek His face continually. Remember His marvellous works that He hath done, His wonders, and the judgme… Continue

The life of Sarah and her death begin this week’s portion and it closes with Abraham’s death and Ishmael’s departure from the living as well.

Dwelling briefly on this I wish to turn to a piece of property( Machpelah) within the narrative. Found first in chapter 23 and later in chapter 25, and even in the final chapter of this book of Genesis.

Return, O Israel, unto the LORD thy God; for thou hast stumbled in thine iniquity. Take with you words, and return unto the LORD; say unto Him: 'Forgive all iniquity, and accept that which is good; so will we render for bullocks the offering of our lips. Asshur shall not save us; we will not ride upon horses; neither will we call any more the work of our hands our gods; for in Thee the fatherless findeth mercy.' I will heal their backsliding, I will love them freely; for Mine anger is turned… Continue

Blow ye the trumpet in Zion, and sound an alarm in my holy mountain: let all the inhabitants of the land tremble: for the day of the LORD cometh, for it is nigh at hand;


A day of darkness and of gloominess, a day of clouds and of thick darkness, as the morning spread upon the mountains: a great people and a strong; there hath not been ever the like, neither shall be any more after it, even to the years of many generations.
A fire devoureth before them; and behind them a flame burneth: the land… Continue
