“Because of the LORD’s great love we are not consumed, for his compassions never fail. They are new every morning; great is your faithfulness." (Lamentations 3:22-23 NIV) Shalom, my friend. As the verse above makes clear, our God is full of compassion, and He is the very definition of faithful. In this we take heart. I believe it’s more important than ever for us to show Jewish people that we stand with them. We’re seeing a wave of anti-Semitism in North America, and there is simply...

“God is our refuge and strength, an ever-present help in trouble. Therefore we will not fear, though the earth change.” (Psalm 46:2-3 TLV) Shalom, my friend. I am writing to you with a heavy heart to ask for your prayers for Israel and her people.

After the national tragedy that occurred in Israel last week, I am especially thankful to be able to write to you and ask for your prayers on behalf of the Jewish people, especially the Haredi Jews who are suffering this great loss the most. I know this grieves your heart, too. Last Thursday, 45 ultra-Orthodox Jews were killed in a stampede at Mount Meron and more t...

For the law of the Spirit of life in Messiah Yeshua has set you free from the law of sin and death.” Romans 8:1-2 As we look forward to Passover and remember all God has done for us, I want you to know how much I appreciate you and how thankful I am that you share my love for Israel and the Jewish people.
