Hey, animals need a #Shabbat, too!

“The seventh day is a sabbath to the Lord your God. On it you shall not do any work, neither you, nor your son or daughter, nor your male or female servant, nor your ox, your donkey or any of your animals.” (Deuteronomy 5:14)

Praying for peace in Israel

Rocket Sirens Blaring in Northern Israel Shalom, All of Israel is on high alert as threats and attacks from Syria and Iran continue to escalate. With your help, The Fellowship team is already on the ground caring for innocent civilians suffering from anxiety due to rocket sirens blasting over northern Israel. Because of your unwavering support, The Fellowship has supplied thousands of bomb shelters in the region, emergency facilities and equipment in five northern hospitals, and supplies of blankets, food, and other basic necessities should innocent Jews be displaced by these attacks from hate-filled regimes. That is why I urge you to join with me in praying for God’s continual protection over Israel and her people. Pray for peace in the region and for the safety of our team as they respond with immediate care and provision for those impacted by this senseless violence. With prayers for shalom, peace, Rabbi Yechiel Eckstein Founder and President PS – We continue to prepare should, God forbid, the unrest and attacks continue to rise. Thank you for your prayers and support of Israel and the Jewish people.

Building bridges with food

Food, glorious food.  And how well food goes with faith.  In fact, our food is so often an expression of our faith.  The International Fellowship of Christians and Jews has a food blog!  The recipe below is suitable any time of year but is,  in particular, a Passover recipe.
