Isaiah 49
18 Lift up your eyes round about, and see: all these gather themselves together, and come to you. As I live, says the LORD, you shall surely clothe you with them all as with an ornament, and gird yourself with them, like a bride.
19 For, as for your waste and your desolate places, and your land that has been destroyed, surely now shall you be too small for the inhabitants, and those who swallowed you up shall be far away. 20 The children of your bereavement shall yet say in your ears, The place is too small for me; give place to me that I may dwell...
22 Thus says the Lord GOD, Behold, I will lift up my hand to the nations, and set up my ensign to the peoples; and they shall bring your sons in their bosom, and your daughters shall be carried on their shoulders.

...And the regathered shall inherit the Negev. Obadiah 1:20
 
March 2007
Greetings!

Happy Purim Celebration from SHI!

 

We are grateful that Hashem has brought us again through the important time of Purim.  We have much to be thankful for, in spite of the struggles that we are facing in this nation and in Israel.  We hope you enjoyed some joy with your families!

 

With the violence increasing around us and the Hamans' still rising up, we are comforted by those who stand for what is right and have an encouraging word.

One Family Fund Meeting, Palo Alto 
 

We are thankful for the friends that gathered in Palo Alto, CA at the Emek Berache (Valley of Blessings) Synagogue in support of the "One Family Fund" in February.  Eliot Klugman, Northern California Representative hosted the meeting at the Synagogue with our very special guests, General Shimon Erem(RET), President of the Israel Christian Nexus and Mr. David Meir-Levi as our Key note speakers.  I was privileged to sing Hatikva, The Star Spangled Banner and "The Dry Bones Live" from the new cd, "Waiting for Return".

 

Some of our Northern CA "Israel Group" family joined together for this event.  It is always good to share common interests in support of Israel with Rev. Hinkle and Dr. Ziederman from Come Answer the Call, Rosemary Schindler from Shindler's Ark and also with Alane and Fred Quien from Jaffe Gate Ministries International.  It was our joy to honor the One Family Fund together!



- Psalm 133:1
Behold, how good and how pleasant it is For brethren to dwell together in unity!
Happy Purim
 

On Purim weekend we prayed and also enjoyed food, fun and joy for G-d's blessings.  We hosted a get together as a  Judeo-Christian bridge in our area with costumes, a skit and lots of fun "Booing Haman" and "Hurrahing" our Esther! 

 

Our grandchildren gathered for their "princess day" and reading of the Esther story with us on Monday in our home!

 

We remember the challenges that we face as the "Esthers" and "Mordecais" of the world.  It is not always easy, but then when did the prophets have it easy?  We are strengthened by Torah and the faithfulness of our G-d.

 

May Hashem continue to light your way and keep your families safe as Passover approaches.

- Esther 4:14b
Yet who knows whether you have come to the kingdom for such a time as this?"
Anusim Names Project
 
Sephardim Hope International is working to develop a network of B'nei Anusim (Children of Anusim/Crypto- Jews) for the purpose of education and mutual support. This project is called the Anusim Names Project. We believe it is part of the biblical fulfillment of Obadiah 20.

If you feel you have Benei Anusim/Jewish roots in your family line, please email brief information, names, origin, to: anusimproject@sephardimhope.org . You may also fill out the e-Form on our website: Anusim Names Project .

Your information will be held confidentially, unless you include permission for possible research in Israel.
