"The exiles from Jerusalem who are in Sepharad will possess the towns of the Negev." (Obadiah 20)

In order to keep you informed, Id like to depart from the type of newsletter I commonly send my faithful readers. Many of you have often encouraged me to keep you posted on upcoming special events which we host throughout the country and elsewhere. With this in mind I'd like to share with you about something very dear to my heart. It has to do with our summer trip to Israel. I'd love to have you come with us on this journey which I earnestly believe will be the best one yet. What makes this all the more challenging is the times we're living in.


Come Up With Us to the Negev!
Negev "So Abram went up from Egypt to the Negev, with his wife and everything he had, and Lot went with him. Abram had become very wealthy in livestock and in silver and gold." (Genesis 13:1-2)

Notice how I've highlighted the word "up" in the verses above. Most people believe you go DOWN to go south; but in this case going south is going up!

On Friday July 10th of this year, we're going UP to the Negev in order to hold a very special Sephardic Anusim Summit. This Summit isn't only for those of us with Sephardic roots but also for those who God has anointed with the desire to assist and collaborate closely with us.

Upon arrival on Saturday July 11th our group will enjoy a nice Israeli dinner and get some rest over night in Tel Aviv, next to the beautiful Mediterranean Ocean. After breakfast the next day, our group will be taken UP to begin our three day Sephardic Anusim Summit in the heart of the Negev which was father Abraham's homeland as well as Israel's first Prime Minister, David Ben Gurion's home and burial place.


BG Grave Our Summit will consist of three days and evenings filled with classroom sessions presented by top Israeli leaders that'll discuss everything from Aliyah to the opportunities associated in purchasing land to build homes and/or businesses in the Negev. Our focal point is to demonstrate the place, purpose and plan for the establishment of a brand new community that's geared with our people at heart.

Our three day Summit will also include field visits to the specific sites where we intend to build our community. We will tour our group through our Center where we also have our one-of-a-kind historical exhibit of Sephardic Anusim. We'll also visit interesting sites that are significant to the history and the future of our people in the Ramat Ha-Negev Regional Council, about a 30 minute drive south of the capital of the Negev which is Beer Sheba.

During the final evening of our Summit we shall have a wonderful concert performed by the group, Sounds of Israeli Souls. This free concert is being graciously provided for us and our guests by a dear friend and colleague, the director of Helping Hands Organization which focuses on blessing Israeli Holocaust survivors with humanitarian resources and love.


At the end of our Summit, our group will journey through a host of other special sites, cities and villages all across the whole of Israel. And, of course, extra special time will be spent in Jerusalem, the City of the Great King.

For those of you that yearn to be with us but can not do so for one reason or another, you can join us in your own way. You can pray before, during and after our journey. You can also send us anointed Scriptures and blessings aimed for our group and especially for those of us in leadership. You can also bless us in a simple and practical way. You can help by contributing an offering of love for the purpose of making this trip and Summit an experience never to forget; and an experience that'll change the course of history for many Sephardic Anusim that have been chosen by God to make aliyah. (I might inform you that Helen and I have never lived by the purest form of faith as we do now. Hence, I simply ask you to consider helping us with the expenses of this journey because we will not be accepting a free trip at the expense of hiking prices higher on each traveler--not because it's bad but we simply want to make this trip as affordable as possible for everyone.)

We must hurry up and lock in the cost of our trip, particularly our flight. We have kept the cost of this unprecedented experience as low and feasible as possible. The price of this experience is $4150 per person. It's based on two main meals per day and double occupancy for lodging. However, during our Summit we'll enjoy three meals per day.

Our 13 day trip departs on Friday July 10th and the returns on Wednesday July 22nd of this same year. So please hurry up and let me know if you wish to come UP with us to "our Negev." By the way, seeing how we only have four months to lock everything in place, we need your $200 deposit immediately. So please contact me via this same email address and we'll get back to you as soon as possible with the beautiful on-line itinerary and details.


Shalom. . .

Up to the Negev we go!
