And the many peoples shall go and say: “Come, Let us go up to the Mount of Hashem, To the House of the God of Yaakov; That He may instruct us in His ways, And that we may walk in His paths.” For instruction shall come forth from Tzion, The word of Hashem from Yerushalayim
Isaiah 2:3 (The Israel Bible™)

וְהָלְכוּ עַמִּים רַבִּים וְאָמְרוּ לְכוּ וְנַעֲלֶה אֶל־הַר־יְהוָה אֶל־בֵּית אֱלֹהֵי יַעֲקֹב וְיֹרֵנוּ מִדְּרָכָיו וְנֵלְכָה בְּאֹרְחֹתָיו כִּי מִצִּיּוֹן תֵּצֵא תוֹרָה וּדְבַר־יְהוָה מִירוּשָׁלִָם

Welcome to Israel!
Israel365's Beauty from Ashes Tour Arrives in the Land!

Israel365's "Beauty from Ashes" tour arrived in Israel yesterday. Rabbi Tuly Weisz and Donna Jollay led the group in a Bible study on the Mount of Zion during which Rabbi Tuly said that no individual, group of people, or religion has a monopoly on redemption. In the above verse, the prophet Isaiah speaks of the redemption during which the Beit Hamikdash (Holy Temple) will be built together by all of mankind. Once built, it will serve as a house of God for all nations. People of all backgrounds will visit the Beit Hamikdashto learn Hashem's (God) Torah and walk in His ways. Our generation is blessed to see the fulfillment of this ancient promise as millions of non-Jews realize that "from Zion shall come forth the Torah and the word of Hashem from Yerushalayim." Pictured above are Rabbi Tuly Weisz, Donna Jollay, and the participants on the "Beauty from Ashes" tour in front of the Kotel (Western Wall) in Jerusalem after completing their prayers for the Peace of Jerusalem.
 

There was great rejoicing in Yerushalayim, for since the time of King Shlomo son of David of Yisrael nothing like it had happened in Yerushalayim
II Chronicles 30:26 (The Israel Bible™)

וַתְּהִי שִׂמְחָה־גְדוֹלָה בִּירוּשָׁלִָם כִּי מִימֵי שְׁלֹמֹה בֶן־דָּוִיד מֶלֶךְ יִשְׂרָאֵל לֹא כָזֹאת בִּירוּשָׁלִָם

va-TAY-hee seem-KHA ge-do-LAH b'-ye-rus-SHA-layim kee m'-ye-MAY SHLO-mo ben

Dancing in the Holy City

In the Bible, there are many instances of dance being used as an expression of joy and thanksgiving. One of the most famous instances of dance in the Bible is Miriam and the Israelite women dancing in jubilation after their deliverance from Egypt. The book of Psalms also speaks of dance as an expression of joy among the residents of Yerushalayim(Jerusalem). As we approach Jerusalem Day, the 51st anniversary of the reunification of Yerushalayim, this same feeling of joy and jubilation can be felt throughout the Holy City.
 
The voice of Dodi here it comes, they say
Remove all evil, and lift our foundation
From the depths of dirt,
And awaken the asleep with the tremble of a shofar

Voice of Dodi here it comes,
So rumor spread
And every infant who was captured received the prophecy
So let's go out to Him, in drums and organ
Sing unto Him, Blessed nation, who's G-d is Hashem

Then the day will swell, and the lie will evaporate
Then they went out dancing, all the deer of the field
They skipped over the mountains, not because of the fear of the foxes
And from the rock, living water will flow
The son of the hidden in the step, to water the rose of the valleys,
And to establish a Mishkan, which will remove our suffering from here

The voice of Dodi knocks, open for Me my children
It's time for your redemption and to your trouble I said enough
And I came to announce that Rachel would not cry again
Smelling the annointed, more than any other peddler's powder
Hello Dodi, the pure and the reddish
Spread your wrath on stones, and return to the fortress
With mercy, for Your mercy there's no memory that will contain all the data

The voice of Dodi this is here ..

In the days to come, The Mount of Hashem’s House Shall stand firm above the mountains And tower above the hills; And all the nationsShall gaze on it with joy
Isaiah 2:2 (The Israel Bible™)

וְהָיָה בְּאַחֲרִית הַיָּמִים נָכוֹן יִהְיֶה הַר בֵּית־יְהוָה בְּרֹאשׁ הֶהָרִים וְנִשָּׂא מִגְּבָעוֹת וְנָהֲרוּ אֵלָיו כָּל־הַגּוֹיִם
Hear the verse in Hebrew

Living in Unique Times
The book of Isaiah begins with a description of the devastation caused to Yehuda (Judea) during the Assyrian invasion of 701 BCE. Only through Hashem’s (God) kindness and mercy, and not through their own merit and strength, do the Jewish people merit to remain in the land. Our generation is so blessed to see the return of the Jews to the Land of Israel. Unique to our time is that non-Jews are also ascending to Yerushalayim(Jerusalem) in the fulfillment of Isaiah's prophecy in the above verse.
