Lesson from King David's beautiful psalm | 14 Av 5776

Your children will be like olive shoots around your table.
Psalms 128:3 (The Israel Bible™)

בָּנֶיךָ כִּשְׁתִלֵי זֵיתִים סָבִיב לְשֻׁלְחָנֶךָ
תהילים קכח:ג

ba-ne-kha kish-ti-lay zay-teem sa-veev l'-shul-kha-ne-kha

Today's Israel Inspiration

The City of David in Jerusalem reveals an incredible discovery: an underground cavern believed to be the royal water cistern of David's ancient kingdom. Alongside the cistern grows an olive tree, whose roots reach deep down through the old stones. King David prayed that just as the olive tree remains green and robust throughout the ages, so too should one’s children be healthy and strong.

Shalom,
Rabbi Tuly Weisz
